Hopefully unlike Batman Begins the blog will have an actual beginning similar to the source materials (me). Since I started on the Batman rant let me finish it. Over the last 60+ years comic books have been turned into TV shows, movies, video games, lunchboxes, and etc. When someone pitches these ideas they draw out a storyboard for how the thought should progress. Why on earth do we pay these people to do that for comic based items? Grab a copy of Batman: Year One (which I might add is a fine piece of storytelling) and read it off. Every movie could probably save hundreds of thousands right off the top if they did that. Thanks be to the creators of Sin City, 300, and hopefully Watchmen for realizing that the greatest story has been told, it just needs to be told to people that have to fit their entertainment on a gigantic screen within a 2 hour block.
