Mixed emotions. I had that toy van, I liked Ninja turtles.. But someone who would go that far is just.. I don't know.

You're just jealous you didn't have the means to pump up your e-peen that way.

That is way cooler than the Mystery Machine replica I see driving around here now and again.

A Batmobile (1960's style) drove past me on my way to work one morning.

The other co-writer is Kevin Eastman.

New TMNT: I missed #1, but #2 was, pleasantly enough, an easy jumping-on point.

Biggest things I'm ambivalent about:

I don't need another goddamn origin story. I don't need to see April and Casey as teenagers. I don't want Ultimate TMNT. Everybody picking this thing up already knows the origin; why in the hell do we need to rehash it yet again?

And the art...well, it's okay; the action sequences in particular are pretty good. But, thing is, that's because of Eastman's layouts -- and his roughs, at the back of the book, look better than the "finished" art. (Quotation marks because I continue to find "Photoshop over pencils" digital inking to be off-putting.) I assume there's a reason they're not just letting him do the art, but given the detail of his roughs I'm not sure what it is.

Other'n that? Eh, it's okay I guess. Good action, decent pacing, and despite the decompression and the fact that it's clearly part two of a story arc it's actually a perfectly decent self-contained story, even if there's not really very much story there.

I'll probably keep picking it up for the time being; it's better than some of what I've been getting but it's pretty middling.

...so I noticed, as I was splitting 4 pages of DC off the Generic Animation Dump Thread, that there was 2 pages' worth of TMNT talk in there too.

If I decide I want to continue to waste my morning, I might splitmerge some comic posts in too.

I've been largely nonplussed by the new TMNT series (see above, with additional note that I did not actually keep picking it up after #2), but Tristan Jones -- one of the highlights of the last run -- is doing the Infestation tie-in, so I guess I'll have to pick that up. Turtles vs. Shub-Niggurath; art by Mark Torres doing a pretty clear Mignola homage.

MEANWHILE: Nickelodeon's posted character designs for the new toon. I like 'em.

Michael Bay's Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles.

I wish I were joking.

Up until this point, I had no idea Michael Bay was making a TMNT movie
Now from this moment on, because of this, I will know everything Michael Bay does with the TMNT movie as people religiously reblog everything about it to see what he does worse.

wtg social marketing?

Da_Beerman · « **Reply #53 on:** March 21, 2012, 01:54:51 PM »

maybe it will actually star the turtles?

or more likely some twerp named Alex O'Neal since girls can't do anything noteworthy in Micheal bay flicks.

Thad · « **Reply #54 on:** March 27, 2012, 01:52:27 PM »

So the obvious thing to do when they're no longer teenagers or mutants: just call the movie Ninja Turtles.

And we've finally discovered what it takes for Michael Bay to drop the smug condescension and actually start to beg fans to believe the movie's not going to be terrible: a slight tweak to the title so it will be called the thing everybody already calls it anyway.

He's also emphasizing that Kevin Eastman likes the script, and as we all know, any TMNT live-action reboot that drops the "TM" part of the title and which Kevin Eastman likes MUST be good.

You mean we're going to see Venus De Milo again? Because that would just be icing on the cake here. :D

I have to say, this kind of news surprises me. After acquiring the rights for the first Transformers movie, he and his writing team spent a year of doing nothing but diving into Transformers lore in order to do the IP justice. If he was willing to put that kind of effort into Transformers, why would he just shit all over TMNT?

Laugh if you like, but Bayformers 1 was fantastic as a new universe interpretation.
