Wonder if Titans and Dark Knight will have a head to head since Liam Neeson was in the first of the Dark Knight trilogy and in Titans as well.
then there's Prometheus from Ridley Scott.
Lots of gods and monsters, and if you really wanted to, you could probably make a case that Batman is becoming a part of Modern Age Mythology. As well as one of the basis for his creation, Sherlock Holmes, currently experiencing a Renascence.
don't know if I'll have the money or energy for all these movies.

Henry Cavil has to save the Olympian gods from some pissed off mortals led by Mickey Rourke because they didn't answer his prayers. MR is named Hyperion which is a little confusing for those of us who know even a little bit about the myths.
It's a bit like 300 in look. The action scenes look pretty cool, lots of computer special effects. It looks like a slick action movie,not sure how good the plot will be but the acting should be allright.

Hunh. Okay. Thanks for the info. Kinda tough to watch Rourke lately for me. He's like that hollywood gal that had waaaaaaaay to much plastic work done. Just looks weird, and not in a good way. Still, he's an okay actor.

Will be making every effort to see DArk Knight and Avengers at the theater.
Avengers is pretty much a given, since my wife loved Capt. America and liked Iron Man I and II. She also loves Sam Jackson, so that one is a slam dunk. Probably our Anniversary movie this year. Cap was last year, and The Expendables the year before that.

I didn't realize there was a John Carter movie coming out and just checked out the trailer on YouTube. Pretty cool looking! Looks very much in the vain of summer action entertainment but that's okay--I think a Warlord of Mars can translate very good to that type of movie.
Trailer didn't really show what Dejah Thoris will look like but Tars Tarkas looked pretty awesome! The guy playing John Carter also looks to be a good fit; I've seen him in other things and liked him.
EDIT - just saw a different trailer that was even better! I'm totally pumped for this!

I've been a fan of EBR's Mars stories since I was a child. I'm hoping it'll hold up well, and not become some cg monster that kills it. Lead looks a bit like a pretty boy, but I'm willing to give it a chance because of the books.
I saw a movie about Gor years ago, some italian thing starring Traci Lords, I think it was. Pretty awful, but that was way back when. Really hoping this not only raises the bar but blows the stands off it.

Just reread A Princess of Mars last weekend in anticipation! Hope they don't mess it up!

I think there were eleven books in total, IF I'm remembering correctly. I had them all at one point, but haven't read them in years. I loved those old stories, and ERB had one helluv'an imagination.

I was trying to remember how many I'd read. I'd thought I'd only read the first one, but I clearly remember a bunch of stuff that wasn't in it, so I must have read more.

Prometheus is the summer movie I'm most hyped for.
I'm a big Alien fan and am a fan of Ridley Scott's directing, so getting Scott involved with the franchaise again got me pretty excited.
