Right. He IS Wolverine and Wolverine is the best X-Man by far.
Which is why a X-men movie without Wolverine is a stupid idea. But still were gonna get one.

Let's all take a moment and imagine George Reeves in the role of Wolverine. Roll it around in your mouth a little, savor it.

That's good miscasting.

Seriously, kudos to Jacked Man for owning this role. His first appearance in X-Men silenced the nerds ("...but he isn't SHORT enough!!") and his sheer presence carried him through the subsequent films.

Perhaps with the right script and some decent effects work he can wash the stink off the last film. Here's hoping...

Perhaps they're waiting to do the musical for the third Wolverine installment. A flashy yellow costume could be right at home in that!

I'd also like a movie Wolverine where he's an actual badass. Not just a jerk who cries over women. They've shown flashes of it (the openings in X1 and X2, the forest scene in X3), but otherwise? It's been a thoroughly watered down version.

Japan, though? Well, they've already fucked up the Deathstrike storyline after X2, so... Silver Samurai, maybe? The Hand? Some time in Madripoor?

So is this story supposed to take place before/after Danny Huston put adamantium bullets in his noggin to give him amnesia?

Cause the way the Wolverine movie set it up, he loses his mind and is left to wander the PNW until he meets Rogue in X1.

Oh wait...I'm applying logic to that POS. Nevermind.

I've only seen bits and pieces of the first Wolverine movie, because that's all I could stomach. It's unbelievable how awful that film is. I couldn't get over how fake everything looked. It was weird.

I did see the end and I think at the end of the film they hinted that he was going to Japan. I forget how exactly, but I recall it being in there. So, I assume it will take place after the first movie.

Hopefully, they will try to do something along the lines of the first Wolverine Mini-Series from way back. Probably not though. They will find some way to smear poop all over it like a bunch of retarded monkies.

My favorite Wolverine moment in film so far has to be in X-Men 2 when he launched into his beserker rage when they attack the school, especially right at the beginning of that scene when he's in the kitchen with Iceman. That was awesome.

Since I was kid, Wolverine has always been my favorite. I have some posters. I even dressed up as him (yellow costume and I was forced) during my stag weekend in Prague. (For the record, if I knew how much positive attention I would draw from the right people, I would have been dressing up as Wolverine every weekend in college.).

Anyway, every now and then I try to read some new Wolverine material and I've always been disappointed. I felt that "Wolverine: Origin" was awful. I even read a recent Brian K. Vaughan written Wolverine story and wasn't too terribly impressed, and I love Vaughan. Are there any good, new Wolverine stories out there?

Forbiddendonut, I would like to direct you to Wolverine: Enemy of the State. Written by Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) and John Romita, jr. ('nuff said). It's a little pricey, but it's 12 issues worth of awesome.

Old Man Logan was interesting, as well.

What'll make this worse is they'll cast Mark Dacascos for it.

I liked him well enough in The Brotherhood of the Wolf.

RobP, thanks for the head's up. I just bought both TPB's off half.com. $20 in total. Not too shaby...

I hope it's good. I am bit iff on Mark Millar. I haven't read "Kick-Ass", but I did read "Wanted" and while I liked it overall, I found the tone a bit irritating. It was a bit overly nasty. A bit like Garth Ennis, but without the charm. Still, I could see where it could work well within a Wolverine book.

I have pretty much everything Wolverine was ever in up until around 1991-92 or so. I miss him.

TK, that's good to know, because that's been my impression. I read some comic book review websites from time to time, I'll flip through some comics at the local bookstore, I check out Wikipedia. I just like to try and keep tabs on things in general and every time I do I just get confused and angry and annoyed. It's just all so stupid.

I was particularly annoyed when I found out that Wolverine had a son who is retardedly named "Daken" and goes by the name "Dark Wolverine" at some point or another. So incredibly stupid.

I stopped seriously collecting right after the first time Magneto ripped Wolverin's skeleton out. Whatever that big cross-over mutant storyline was, that was my last.

I still get comics, but only in trade paperback form and only from selected titles and authors. The only super hero book I still get is "Secret Six", because I like Deadshot and Gail Simone does some good work.

Or they could just make it take place in Madripoor, a bizarre english-speaking country in Asia (is that right, comic-geeks?)

Yes, please. He kills so many people in Madripoor.

Silver Samurai: Tadanobu Asano

(sorry admin)

Old Man Logan is definitely worth reading, and part of what helps is that you don't NEED to know anything about the countless interweaving storylines that Marvel currently has going on.

I'll say this -- the Ultimate universe may be flawed, but I like it because it's a fresh start. The first issues of the various series (particularly X-Men, Spider-Man, FF4 and The Ultimates) were fun and interesting and well-done, and didn't get bogged down in the publishers tendency to massively overcomplicate things with Luke-I-am-your-father bullshit every two issues.

Of course, they've since gone off the rails, but still. It was nice while it lasted. Particularly Ultimate Hulk, who is an insane cannibal who rampages through New York and kills hundreds of people. Pretty interesting stuff.

I know I'm probably in the minority around here, but I liked the first Wolverine movie just fine. Was it as good as the first 2 X-Men movies? No, but it was way, way, WAY better than Van Helsing.

I mean, I'm a hopeless Hugh Jackman swooner and even I hated that movie.

You know who I wanted for Wolverine? A bulked up Michael Wincott. Alas, twas not to be.

Shit, that would've been amazing. Way to add to my disappointment.

Hugh Jackman is the right actor to play James Howlett/Logan or Wolverine and he is great at being that! Don't replace him with someone else, I hate watching so many actors playing one iconic characters like Batman and Bruce Banner (Hulk)... Brandon Routh should return as Superman!
