I'm not the biggest Christopher Nolan fan to begin with so take this with a grain of salt, but that was bad. I'm not saying the film will be bad, I bet Christopher Nolan can make a fine Chris Nolan-assed film, but that was a bad trailer.

How so?

There wasn't enough Sam Witwicky and explosions.

No, more the complete lack of the middle to that trailer. There is nothing that makes Bane look intimidating, he is shown in a plane and then he is talking to Bruce but there is nothing there showing him to be a threat. There are the shots of disaster, but they could as easily be part of some other terrorist act from another group. Oh, and his awful voice doesn't help. Then there is the Bland Narration by Catwoman, where we are told that Bane is a threat, but like I said we aren't shown a god damned reason to believe that. I don't know about you, but I subscribe to this old saying of "a picture is worth a thousand words", hell all they had to do was show Bane punching a guy and I might buy into it.

So, I don't care about the explosion count, hell, up to the point where I heard how bad Bane's voice was I would of been happy if the film was just Batman sitting in a room talking to the Bane that the first, or maybe second, trailer had shown us. You know, the one that was basically Alan Grant'sAnarky, but in the body of Bane because you can't sell the fact that a Teenage boy might just be able to old his own in a philosophical discussion with Batman to the kids.

And screw you for assuming what a person might think about anything based on two sentences. It isn't like I'm some prolific writer of user reviews, or that I've posted on the forums a whole bunch so you could make some kind of guess as to how I think.

I just dropped X-Men Legacy and I'm thinking of dropping Wolverine and the X-Men for the simple fact that I think the writing in them is wildly inconsistent. Legacy varies from good to bad but really needs to stop focusing on Rogue for five seconds. I feel like Wolverine and the X-Men needs to cut its main cast down to like four students, and then be a forty page book, just so it can focus on the characters more. You know, something more than the fact that Quentin Quire is a douchebag. Oh and Chris Bachalo is bad at page layouts and someone needs to show how to fill a god damned page.

Henry Flint is a monster of an artist.

Seriously no comic is making me more excited to just pick it up than 2000AD at the moment.

@pikahyper: Stuff will change. When exactly? only they know, and that is a guess at most. I'm assuming you've never followed a video game through development, because at some point people who do just realise that until the game has gone gold and is in your hands anything can change. The same goes for websites, comics, films, ect. So don't worry, worst case scenario Comic Vine and go to hell, they get shut down, and you end up having going to CBR or something.

@pikahyper: Here are your answers,

• Trivia is probably going to be scrapped because no-one uses it.
• Same goes for the HTML5 Theater, although Alexis really, REALLY, likes the 16x16 icon and wants to do something with it.
• More options for staff when it comes to news and review layouts.
• Wiki will change to suit how people actually use it, also mods might get more powers (Dave was thinking about letting people become "gurus" on certain page, but that might not happen).

There was a live stream for Premium Members a few weeks ago. Don't like it complain in this thread http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/premium-dave-and-alexis-talk-redesign/543152/?page=6

I would like to see a focus on Kitty Pryde, I just really love that character and I haven't really been fond of the animated adaptations of the character yet.

There was a Manga that did this exactly, but only one Volume came out before Disney bought Marvel and the rights fell through.

Chris Bachalo either needs to take lessons on how to fill a page, there is so much wasted space either between panels or off to the sides, or Marvel needs to print the book in a larger format. Panels constantly feel cramped the school just doesn't feel like a nice place to be because of it.

An actual caption from this book.

The book wishes to be an epic, but it just isn't.

As always 2000AD and I might try and grab this weeks The Phoenix Comic if I can get near to a shop that sells it.

I have to get last weeks comics because of the Bank Holiday so;

• Avenging Spiderman #6
• Saucer Country #2
• Demon Knight #8 (which hopefully breaks this rut of bad issue 8's that I've had. I'm looking at you Swamp Thing, Wolvie and the X=Men)

As for this week;

• Avengelyne #8 (Liefeld cover naturally)
• Avengers vs. X-Men #2
• Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #2
• Punisher #10
• Thunderbolts #173 (If I can find 172 as well)
• Wolverine and the X-Men #9 (Which is hopefully way better than the last issue)
