Batman and Wolverine (Retro)



It's too bad that Darren Aronofsky dropped out of the Wolverine sequel.  I was not a big fan of the first film, which kind of meandered through a very thin plot, but Aronofsky's involvement in the second had me hopeful for a more stylish thoughtful flick.  There is still hope though - the movie is reportedly based on Wolverine's first solo mini-series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller (which is what they should have done the first time).  That tale truly cemented the character's iconic status and should make for a markedly different film from the rest of Logan's cinematic outings.  Interviews with Hugh Jackman indicate a willingness to really try and capture the feel of those issues, and I hope he succeeds at that.

  1. Dave sez,

    Wolverine could have been better. It's a shame they decided to with the newer origin material rather than keep the mystery around the character going.

    If the sequel is based on his mini-series it should be a big improvement!

    Looking at this cover, I wonder have you done any crossovers with the Amalgam characters? Like Dark Claw? Are those harder to do?

  2. A crossover of a crossover? The universe might implode if I tampered with such a thing.
