The ROBOCOP thread

[AvatarIII]

As you all say...Tron bigtime, the suit looks like Iron Man to me, the car is way too fancy for a cop car and whats with the lightsaber/sword thing?? that looks like a manga image.

i agree, the suit is cool, but it does look a little bit too much like iron man from the back, the only bit i really like is the robot in the size comparison pic,

I want a batman statue in new york.

A Frank Miller batman statue.

That shouts "whores" at 20 second intervals.

Loud enough to break windows and set off car alarms.

There really needs to be a real Gotham City in the US, they really should start building one  a massive neo gothic distopian futuristic city, despite Schumachers homoerotic content in his Batman films I actually liked the sprawling Gotham on view in 'Forever' and 'BnR'.

Jose Padilha might direct. Tropa de Elite was pretty good, so I'm positive to this.

Josh Zetumer is writing the script.

I think all of those could work. Except maybe Cruize. He'd have to tone back. A lot.

[Valaquen]

Peter Weller?

[Sharp Sticks]

Preferably.

[Shasvre]

Okay, so he's busy being Zod right now, but I think Michael Shannon would have been a good fit otherwise.
