Is this a joke? Most of todays movies fucking suck. No one has an original idea, so they regurgitate old movies, only they make 'em shittier than they were the first time around. The Crow was great, and is fine where it is. There’s no need to fuck it up for the sake of more money.[/quote]

Well “remake” was probably the wrong word. I was looking for “another” there are 4 Crow movies and all of them kill it. City of Angels Salvation and Wicked Prayer are worth a look if you haven’t seen them. The last one was in 06 I think so im fiendin for a new one.

There’s a Crow TV series starring Mark Dacascos as Eric Draven (which isn’t nearly as good as it sounds). Wicked Prayer was dire. Ed Furlong looks like Helena Bonham Carter in the make up.

Wicked Prayer was pretty bad. Just watched it again.

Disgraceful.

But he did kill Satan. That’s gotta count for something.

Saw the second one and thought is was awful, and all the other went straight to vhs/dvd. The first one was great, and the soundtrack is probably top 10 of any movie ever. It’s hard for me to listen to it though without getting kind of bummed. NIN’s cover of Joy Division’s “Dead Souls” damn near makes me cry.

Nope.

The Crow burns pain for fuel and every hit makes him more powerful. That means only telepathy or ice would stop him. Telepathy could be stopped with some kind of headgear and ice averted by …well fire.

What could superman really do to Crow? He’s unbeatable.[/quote]
What can Crow do to superman? He doesn’t have kryptonite. Superman could easily grab the crow in a non-anger inducing hug, fly to Antarctica and drop him.

Well. The Crow makes his own powers for every opponent. So he could get kryptonite from God. The Crow is an angel. Superman can’t mess with that.

It won’t matter, superman is invincible other than kryptonite and god wouldn’t allow superman to die. He does too much good. The crow is on his own and humans have successfully wrestled angles, let alone superman. The crow can rage all he wants on his way to Antarctica, he will just be a whining baby in supermans grip.

He would favor Crow over Superman. Superman isn’t one of Gods creatures.

Superman is the cause for all the bad anyway. Before he dropped to Earth we never had problems like the ones he fights.

So no Superman doesn’t do any good. He only cleans up his own messes.

Superman absolutely does good and there is no basis to show he creates his own problems. All creatures are gods creatures and he didn’t have any issue creating hell and damning angels to it before. If the crow wants to step out of line too, I’m sure god would let superman whip his ass and drop him on Antarctica.

Mister Furious. They’re both angry and wear leather. Stalemate.

Of course there’s basis

Before superman no one was trying to take over the world. With superman everyone is trying to do it.

The Crow is aalsothousands of years older than superman (the spirit that gives the powers) who do you think god values more? A thousands year loyal employee or a trouble bringing relatively new guy?

And we aren’t even sure if Antarctica will kill Crow.

a kid with a pellet gun could kill the crow, all you really need to do is shoot his bird then avoid the crow for a couple days.

The bird heals though. If you avoid The Crow he will just tend to the bird with the Crowdance. Easy fix.

Superman showed up at just the right time then, probably in gods plan.

God turned his top homie in to Satan and damned him forever. He isn’t hung up on the crow.

How does every hit make him stronger if he can not feel pain?

He is brought back due to unfinished business/revenge why would he be after superman in the first place?

Because superman killed the crow in order to cover up Bruce Wayne’s pedophile ring?

For the last year or two, there’s been talk of an actual remake with everyone from Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, and Channing Tatum being considered for the lead. So, good luck with that. The project is pretty much in limbo, though. (Heh. No pun intended.)

Also, on topic, I’d bet The Joker could give Mr. Mopey a run for his money. Throw the city into chaos levels of magnitude worse than in the first film and not be dumb enough to get caught one-on-one at the end. (Though I haven’t seen any of the sequels, so I’m not totally clear on what else he can do.)

Man, those would be terrible choices.

This guy claims to be the real Eric Draven and the inspiration for The Crow. Apparently he used to paint his face and fight crime every Halloween night:
