The Onion Inspires Me To Take a Look At This Year's Comic Book Movies

I was originally planning on just reposting the Onion News Network video below and talking about how much I love watching trailers. Halfway through the segment, however, I started to realize there are a lot of comic book films this summer. Let's get to the Onion video first though.

Wildly Popular 'Iron Man' Trailer To Be Adapted Into Full-Length Film


Now we already talked about Hellboy II and The Dark Knight, but Iron Man will be here before both of them. May 2nd to be exact, which is two weeks from Friday. I know they are running a ton of TV spots now, but I just dug up a newer/longer trailer that I've never seen before.

There's another movie that seems to get lost in the discussion, which I haven't seen a hell of a lot of information for...The Incredible Hulk. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby wanted a mulligan on their 2003 Hulk. I didn't think the first try was that bad, but they definitely upped the acting here with Edward Norton, Liv Tyler and Tim Roth so I can't complain. Although Eric Bana isn't/wasn't awful. A trailer for the new Hulk was posted last month and the movie will hit theaters on June 13.

Hellboy II and The Dark Knight will follow with July 11 and July 18 releases, respectively.
