I Need A Hero.

Hello and welcome once again to Title Under Maintenance. Hope you enjoy your stay, and no, the soaps are not yours to take home.

You've guessed it, today's post is about Super Heroes and comic books, both of which seem to be a hit and miss subject. See, many people (usually girls) will argue that they are quite nerdy, and those who enjoy reading comic books are nerds themselves. I on the other hand believe that some comic books can involve super heroes, and still be pretty cool.

For instance, the new Kick Ass film is based on a comic book. although I haven't actually either read the comics or watched the film, I have heard very positive comments about both. Now I actually really want to see the film, but don't really have the confidence to buy the comics. The main reason is the stigma attached to comic books.

Many people will say that if you are seen buying a comic book you are uncool. Personally, I feel there is a fine line between acceptable and uncool. For instance, if you are one of those people who buys a comic book just to keep it in one of those plastic sheets, never to be read ever and only to be kept in "mint condition" then that is a little sad. If however you have bout a comic book to just read a couple of times, and don't really care what happens to it as long as it is still legible, then I think thats fine. It is no different from somebody buying a magazine to read.

Now onto Super heroes. They rock! well most do anyway. All the actually cool ones like Spiderman and Batman. But there are some really stupid ones. for instance, Aquaman. who wants to read about a man who lives under the sea and can speak to fish? No one, that's who. Infact, I would rather read about south park's "Seaman and Swallow" than Aquaman.

Seaman!!

Back tracking to Super Hero films, there have been many, and many have sucked. For instance, the most recent Spiderman film was terrible compared to the first two. Not only has Spiderman failed, but also "Superman Returns" was also a very poor film. If you want a good Comic book film, look at the two new Batman films. They are awsome. They are dark, and don't try to be too much like the comics. Even as normal films, they are two very good films, but in comparision to the rest of the comic films, they cetainly do justice to the fans. The next one is set to be even better. I feel more producers should take a look at how a real film is made, and take it from there.

Anyway, sorry for quite a short blog, got lots to do, including the challenges on "Batman: Arkham Asylum" (Y)

Arkham Asylum: "Nice Costume"

Now I must go, Lincoln needs my help!
