Waiting, while waiting for... (part one)

Hey everybody! I know it's been a while, but I've been busy. Anyway, there aren't many news on "The Dark Knight". So, we need the find a temporary fun, right? I'm sure many of the Batman's fans are also comic book/hero fans, and are probably excited by the other comic book movies coming out this year.

Let's make a short preview of what's coming in 2008:

1) The Incredible Hulk

What's with it: Not exactly a sequel to the 2003 Hulk, but it can be considered as a re-boot.

Plot: Bruce Banner is on the run from the United States Army and General "Thunderbolt" Ross, trying to avoid capture long enough to cure the condition that turns him into the Hulk. Meanwhile, a soldier named Emil Blonsky repeats the accident that gave Banner his powers, but as he is unable to change back to human form, he blames Banner and seeks his revenge

Who's in it: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt

Director: Louis Leterrier

2) The Punisher: War Zone

What's with it: Sequel to the first one from 2004, but too bad it doesn't have Tomas Jane. It could be worse than the first one, which I liked.

Plot: Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished.

Who's in it: Ray Stevenson as The Punisher.

Director: Lexi Alexander

3) Iron Man

What's with it: For the first time, Iron man on the big screen!!!

Plot: Weapons designer Tony Stark is in Afghanistan to introduce his new missile design to the Air Force until the unit he is traveling with is attacked and Stark is taken hostage. Injured by shrapnel embedded near his heart, his captors order him to assemble a missile for them, giving him access to a workshop. He puts his creativity to use by assembling a bulletproof set of power armor, complete with pacemaker and flamethrowers, and uses it to free himself.

Who's in it: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man

Director: Jon Favreau
