Angry Nerd Blasts Batman and Praises Mad Max: Fury Road at San Diego Comic-Con 2014

(train horn blowing)

So Zack Snyder tweeted out a couple of images

of the cape and cowl from the new Batman.

Some people are gonna tell you that you can't make

sweeping judgements about the quality of a film

based on a couple of social media images of one costume.

Those people are fools.

I hereby withdraw my support

for the Ben Affleck version of Batman.

I mean, have you seen this costume?

Have you seen the cowl?

It's got an arched eyebrow.

What's up with that?

He looks like Spock just discovered something interesting

about a planet's makeup.

Ah, mostly nitrogen, captain.

Fascinating.

It was bad enough when they etched nipples

onto the Batman costume.

Now they're etching a perpetually quizzical

expression onto his face?

Hopefully they've made a bunch of different cowls

so he can just switch and be surprised Batman,

or angry Batman, or they can make

an animatronic cowl for sexy Batman.

So I'm here at the Warner Brothers booth

to sing the praises of the new Mad Max Fury Road trailer.

(hard rock music)

Everyone is arguing.

You know, is Tom Hardy worthy of the role?

You know all that matters is that George Miller is back.

George Miller, secret best action director

in the history of the world.

Look at The Road Warrior movies, look at the Mad Max movies.

The action is so fluid, and so kinetic.

I love the fact that it began with thousands of storyboards,

and not a screenplay.

The ideal Mad Max movie has no dialogue.

Just cars racing through deserts

and crashing into each other.

So I'm here in the sideshow collectibles booth

because I could not pass up the sight

of a carbon frozen Han Solo.

Life-size, carbon frozen Han Solo.

Look at the detail.

You can actually see the breathing tube

they fed into the corner of his mouth

when they got this mold.

Very, very awesome, but there's one thing

I can't quite wrap my head around,

and that's the price tag.

$7,000

for not even an authentic piece of memorabilia.

A recreation.

$7,000.

Who has $7,000 to spend on something like this?

More importantly, who has $14,000?

If you have $14,000, treat yourself.

Buy one of these, buy a second one,

give it to me, and I'll owskie.

I'll get you back.
