I'm not gonna watch the trailer, but I will be watching this movie. Simple.

And Mark, I care what you think ;)

Ah yes, I liked that too. I think I was one of only the few that actually saw that film, which is a bit of a shame.

What a blast from the past.
Did you actually remember these Matt or did you have to search the 'net for 'em?

The guy with the suit... erm... thingy... the one that flies with the cool metal suit...

erm... I forgot his name :(

Iron Man!

I found it :D

He didn't have any special powers, in fact he was disabled and wouldn't be alive without his stupid electric heart thing.

I quite like Rocketeer and saw it at the cinema when it was released, and if it was on now would probably be watching it again.

Condorman is something I have seen once a long time ago, enough to remember the character but not the story.

I am not too familiar with him, but isn't Iron Man all super suit, rather than super powers?

And then there's Buddy in the Incredibles :lol:

I hate the fact you still can't seem to buy the graphic novel over here yet (without paying a silly price) :(

I've read around this film if you know what I mean, and I've decided not to watch any trailers and only look at the review scores come it's release, before deciding whether to go and see it or not :)

I actually went to the cinema to see Condorman! :shock: :lol:

King of the Rocket Men, he just had a back pack. Was Rocketeer based on that? With Tristram Coffin in the lead role of Jeff King - seeing how naff the rocket suit was, Coffin is surname to tempt fate! :lol:

Was Lewis Wilson the original Batman? Or was there an earlier version still?

Batman didn't have any powers either just a posh suit and lots of gadgets. Saw the original Batman again over Xmas and it's still excellent.

I think you're right, and so does that bastion of truth Wikipedia ;) :

I never understood whether or not the "superheroes" of Watchmen had any actual powers or not... that is, whether they were super/metahuman (a la captain america) or just very highly trained like Batman.

This is of course, excluding Dr. Manhattan.

Not really. All the others use stuff like superior technology or plain psychotic violence. Ozymandeus was supposedly something of a genetic aberration, being 'the best a human being could be' but he was arguably not a hero anyway. Other than him they are all normal, at least physically.

Must have missed it yesterday. Blame getting up at 6am and not sleeping well last night.

Looks like a teen version of "Mystery Men".
