Really good, eh? Has a comic based movie ever been nominated or won an Academy Award? {nm} elchan Jul 19, 07:53

No, none have ever been nominated before, but this one definitely deserves to be, ala LOTR3. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 19, 07:54

Road to Perdition won an oscar for Cinematography, and was nominated for 5 more. {nm} GalacticPothealer Jul 19, 08:32

While that is based on a comic book (I had to look it up - had no idea that it was) BionicMoron, the one, the only Jul 19, 08:36

OK then: Dick Tracy won three oscars and was nominated for another four. GalacticPothealer Jul 19, 08:39

IMAX ? No Superman trailer? {nm} gogreenytd Jul 19, 07:55

The closest IMAX to where I live is 6 hours away in Sydney. IMAX isn't as prevalent in Australia as it is in the US. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 19, 07:57

nice buddy. glad you liked it (scratch that), loved it. thanks for the info! {nm} lobogotti Jul 19, 08:01

No worries :) Hopefully I can persuade some more people to see it and help it beat The Avengers' OW record ;) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 19, 08:09

it deserves the OW record over Avengers. it's by far a more superior film (as much as I enjoyed Avengers). {nm} lobogotti Jul 19, 08:21

I think the Bat certainly deserves the record over Avengers, but as the late Heath Ledger said darknightz Jul 19, 12:18
