How's this any different than restarting the BATMAN franchise after Joel Schumacher fucked up??? How long was that inbetween his films before Nolan's??? This sounds like damn good casting bringing Norton in..

9 years. not 6. and BnR was the 4th film. so you weren't making the same film again.

the restart (remake) for Batman took 16 years, not 9. this isn't about when the last story in teh franchise was released, its about when the same story was told last time.

its just stupid. Ang Lee's Hulk was a classic though people don't like it which is fine. Just keep going with that franchise, even with new directors and actors. Thats fine. Just don't restart it.

Based on it's piss poor domestic take, Universal Studios and the general concensus feels otherwise.. The HULK had ALOT of potential going for it to be as big as SPIDERMAN if it were done properly and in the end, people just didn't embrace it, so your left with the only other alternative: A Reboot.. And whether it was 9 year or 6 years, the BATMAN franchise hit rock bottom and they knew it to.. Otherwise Schumacher would've done BEGINS, nipples on the batsuit and all..

you once again, bring up completely irrelevant stuff.

it doesn't matter how good the hulk film will be; it'll still bomb cause people won't accept another one. Only the fans will.

I dont think anyone is denying Norton's Talent, I mean any movie is lucky to have him, but its just so crazy that he's the new Hulk, its almost destined to fail.

this wesbite is owned by WB.

ya i said it becasue all here talking crap that hulk will fail are nothing but employees of wb and hence have to support all DC crap. What do u guys have other than superman and batman??? NOTHING!! all are D rate characters whose movies are gonna be utter shit.

how much do u guys get paid for supporting the WB&DC crap??

only WB vertigo comics are good. Superman sucks and batman is watchable but not visually cool.

there is only one person on this entire site that cares about DC vs Marvel

and thats you.

now go back and cuddle with your Rawhide Kid stuff toy.

Wow, you finally unlocked our secret. Your right, we do get paid off monthly. Whats your excuse for being a bitch?

Fuck Marvel vs. DC, its like comparing Anal Sex with Frontal Sex, either way your fucked, and their are fans of both, but not necessarily one or the other.

If they went with a Bruce Jones storyline having Bruce Banner on the run like The Fugitive and doing some sort of S.H.I.E.L.D Storyline, the audience might buy into it, BUT, 4 things will need to happen to make this work:

1. No Nick Nolte.. Not now.. Not ever again no matter how good an actor he is..

2. Use a real bodybuilder and use today's CGI Technology to superimpose his size so you have something that looks real and is real instead of a 100% Effect like the last time..

3. 3X The action instead of making it a Greek tragedy and being all about Hulk having daddy issues..

4. Make it Rated-R and intense..

While I agree with all of them, #4 would kill its chances at being a success even more than it has going against it already. It's budget will most likely be 150 million or so. Would you make a comic book movie that's previous film had the worst multiplier of all time for a 60+ opener and make it R. Because of the last movie, the general movie audience will be very much turned off without it being R. I think they'd want it as accessible as possible.

forget 4. U won't get an R Rated flick. Maybe it will be intense but not R rated. U guys come up with some conditions and if not delivered u bash the flick.

BKB i support you but i don't agree on this flick being R rated.

Yup.

So long as they don't make it look like a restart but just a continuation of Hulk, it coould work in my opinion.

Wow Norton as the new Hulk, this news came way outta leftfield. Sounds awesome though, but an actor is only as good as the material he's given. I hope the script is atleast passable, even dare I say it good. With RDJ playing Iron Man it does seem Marvel are getting some calibre actors to play their comic book hereos, perhaps taking a leaf from Batman Begins, which could bod well interms of the quality of the movies themselfs.

This is definitely some different news, but good news. Norton is fantastic in just about everything he does. I for one would really like them to tone down the CG. Get a cool looking suit like Del Toro did for Hellboy and get some great set pieces along with good effects like Batman Begins and this will be great .

Norton.

Hmmm.

I don't fawn over him like many, but I think this is a bad decision.

A lot will hinge on the script and the director.

I actually don't like this decision at all.

I've never particularly liked Edward Norton (I only liked him in Primal Fear, American History X, and Fight Club) and he doesn't seem right for the character. Not to mention I hated the original film but thought Eric Bana was perfect. I think I'll pass on this.
