Is that the one where Batman beats the Hell out of Superman?
I loved Superman getting his sanctimonious self beat down.My favorite moment in ANY comic/graphic novel.


"We could have changed the world…now…look at us…I've become a political liability…and…you…you're a joke. I want you to remember, Clark…in all the years to come…in your most private moments…I want you to remember…my hand…at your throat…I want…you to remember…the one man who beat you."

It sure is. Frank Miller was really good in his Daredevil days, but man o' man was he great from there on.

You know Marvel is putting out a Superman vs.. Batman movie.
Unfortunately Ben A-Flake is starring as Batman. I still will rout so Batman though. He’ll kick him around again. However, A-Flake is hard to believe as someone capable of doing that.:doh:

I do not understand why Affleck was chosen for the role, but I really do hope he does a great job. It would have been nive to see Christian Bale continue in the role. As much as I enjoyed him as Batman, I was surprised to see him handed the role way-back-when.

Good point about Bale. But did you see Affleck as Daredevil? Horrendous. :eeek:

Yesterday I read George Simenon's Night at the Crossroads, tody I've moved on to his next novel A Crime in Holland.

Looking at Penguin's publishing schedule, I'll be reading one Simenon novel each month for about the next six years.

I can get beyond all of that just to see him kick Superman around.

Well, he does. Get the graphic novel and revel in the glory.

I could not watch much of it as there was so much wrong with it other than Affleck.

Soon, most likely during the summer, I will once again read more stories about Maigret. I tend to read Simenon more during the winter months as it just seems more mood appropriate to me.

The most tolerable things about it were Jennifer Garner's, er, "assets" and the fact that whichever side the character he plays is on Ving Rhames does the tough-guy role SOOO well.

Probably delivered a lightning fast seiken followed by a yoko geri and mawashi yoshiro.

No, just a straight punch beat down ending with his hands around his throat. I will love every minute of it if they get it right. I am sick of Superman.
