I believe I mentioned this during my short review on Iron Man on the post below, but before that movie showed two new trailers for The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk. I'm not 100% sure how new the Hulk one is, but I know the Batman one debuted in theaters this weekend.
The Dark Knight
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.
While I am not the biggest fan of comic book-based movies, the new Batman movie looks amazing. Christian Bale comes back as Bruce Wayne and it looks like it's going to be another great performance from him. The best role in the movie though, is Heath Ledger as The Joker and he looks pretty damn creepy.
While the movie doesn't come to theaters until July of 2008, you can expect to see a ton of new trailers as the movie grows nearer and I'm sure this will be the summer's biggest blockbuster.
