The panel was last night. G4 is distinguished mentally-challenged.

What the hell?

Well, actually, that's not bad. Who the hell is home on a Friday night? I'm not.

Wow distant, always one to comment. Go fuck yourself.

Nope.

Star Wars in Concert
Clone Wars Season 2 (with VIOLENCE and Boba Fett)
Force Unleashed
Some shitty Clone Wars game
A tiny mention of KOTOR.

That's it. And the G4 idiots dressed up like Star Wars characters.

That's it?

Were there any details or media to come out of The Old Republic panel, at least?

The Lost pannel just happened if anyone cares. It was alright. Biggest thing was that they implied that there would be some type of reset to the timeline, and there was some good Michael Emerson/Jorge Garcia shenanigans.

I think we all assumed there would be a reset of sorts. Very big disappointment.

Why would anyone want to see pirated 3D footage? It would look horrible

Considering Nolan's stance on Robin, I just don't see Batgirl showing up anytime soon.

Unless the sequel jumps forward 10 years, that ain't happening. Barbara Gordon isn't even a teenager in the series.

It could work if the film takes place 25 years in the future with an asshole of a batman played by Michael Ironside and they go all Dark Knight Returns with this shit.

Iron Man 2. Crowd went apeshit for WAR MACHINE!
Quote
Footage description: Kevin Feige is brought out. Keep the tone. Brought out Favreau. Footage first. Looks like a shitty DVD extra, something a step above what Kenny Powers put together to show off his arm for baseball talent scouts. Just some greenscreen stuff. Downey comes out. “Fuck that! What was that? Unadulterated garbage. You showed me better stuff in the editing room!”

Feige tryies to step in. “No, no this is bullshit!” The crowd is cheering, knowing what’s coming. Turns out that Favreau is a little distracted. It’s his son Max’s 8th birthday… Downey leads audience in Happy Birthday, singing like an Italian waiter, ending with him saying “You better show some real footage.”

And so he did.

It opens with Downey eating a donut in the donut hole of Randy’s donuts, completely in suit except for his helmet, which is off. He’s wearing sunglasses and just chilling. Suddenly “Sir! I’m gonna have to ask you to exit the donut.” is called from the ground and the camera pulls back revealing the back of a bald head with an eye-patch strap. Yep, Sam Jackson as Nick Fury.

The next scene we’re in Randy’s donuts, eating and drinking coffee together, like two normal people… except one is Nick Fury and the other is Iron Man, in full suit (minus helmet). Downey makes a crack about turning his patchy eye away from him.

The next scene is Downey sitting in a Senate hearing being grilled by Gary Shandling’s Senator Stern, who is trying to get the Iron Man tech. “Do you or do you not possess a specialized weapon?”

Downey responds that he doesn’t. It’s a “high tech prosthesis,” and says that he is Iron Man, the suit and him and one and the same and he will not hand his tech over to the government. That would be akin to indentured servitude or prostitution… which, the senators might be familiar with.

Rhodes is brought out and Cheadle is playing him stoic, but still beholden to his country. Stark makes a big speech, playing to the crowd, who eats it up, saying that Iron Man is a nuclear deterrent and peace has been achieved just by his presence. He throws up a peace sign to many cheers and really pisses Gary Shandling off. He screams out “Fuck you, Mr. Stark! Fuck you, buddy!” Of course it looks like a feed from C-SPAN or CNN and the f-bombs are bleeped out. Stark blows him a kiss as he puts his glasses on.

Next we see a series of Tony Stark articles as Mickey Rourke studies him. We can barely tell it’s him, he’s only shown in shadow as he tries to mimic Stark’s technology.

Then it’s Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow fighting in a bright hallway. This got a ton of cheers. She looks great in the role and put the beat-down on a few poor souls.

Rourke’s attack at the racetrack comes up next and it looks fantastic. We see the armature suit and the electric whips tearing up concrete he walks among car debris, approaching a downed Tony Stark (out of costume) who is disoriented and bleeding.

We get a glimpse of Stark opening his shirt and what looked like an infection spreading out from his RT Unit, like black veins before we see a money shot of Iron Man avoiding flack in a night sky, looking sharp as hell as he plummets to Earth.

Then IRON MAN 2 with BLACK SABBATH running on in the background… but that’s not all… The footage faded to black and then fades up again in a warehouse as Rhodes stands in front of a clutter of silver suit parts. Sam Rockwell strolls in, totally cocksure and slick.

Rockwell shows off a series of guns, hand-held machine guns, shotguns and a massive mini-gun like Schwarzenegger used in T2. Rockwell asks what all the guns are for. Rhodey says “It’s classified.” Rockwell asks which of the guns Rhodey wants. “All of them.”

Then the big, big money shot.

WAR MACHINE, black and silver and slightly bulkier than the IRON MAN suit, in action. The mini-gun is mounted on his shoulder, twisting and firing as War Machine’s arms are out. Instead of repulsor rays, bullets come streaming out of his arms, spewing spent casings as hundreds of rounds are shot off at once.

It was beautiful, actually. It’s a night war scene, lit by fire and and the light of his guns firing. The crowd went apeshit.

Iron Man 2 owns Comic Con 2009. Avatar destroyed by massive geek orgasm.
Quote
To give you an accurate picture of the reaction I heard from the thousands of fans who streamed out of Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con just a few hours ago after having seen preview footage from Iron Man 2, I could probably just type the word AWESOME!!! over and over several hundreds of times in all caps with at least three exclamation points and leave it at that.

Because unlike the audience members from this weekend's Avatar and Distict 9 presentations, these fans were as giddy and speechless as if they'd just come off the world's wildest roller coaster, and many could do nothing more than repeat that word again and again.

Even those who were able to turn words into complete sentences still found themselves needing to stretch for superlatives.

"A few words spring to mind," said Neil. "Orgasm is probably there. That's one. If you watched Iron Man and you loved it, it's like having children. The trailer itself looks better than the first film, and the first film was one of the top five comic-book action movies of all time."

"The preview blew my mind," said Ed. "It blows the first one out of the water. It was just that awesome. I'm definitely going to be there. I'll be there a lot of times."

According to Tom, "It looks totally amazing. I think it's going to top the first film. It's going to have even more action, even more special effects, a great, great cast."

Going out on a limb, Tom added, "It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be the biggest movie of the year in 2010, I predict."

Fred was happy that the Marvel universe seemed to be coming together in Iron Man 2: "I liked the plots from the comic books that they brought in, and they didn't let the special effects overwhelm the characters parts. But the special effects were pretty nifty. They're tying the the Marvel universe together, which was always one of the hallmarks of Marvel as opposed to DC."

For the audience members who got into specifics, the two words most mentioned were—War Machine, the character portrayed by Don Cheadle.

"War Machine is going to kick ass," said Nikki.

"Iron Man 2 looked tremendous," said Rhett. "I very much enjoyed the first movie. I was very much looking forward to War Machine, and the few glances we got, he looked really, really cool. I'm so very fired up."

"War Machine, the little teaser at the end, he was pretty great," said Ted.

"I'm excited to see War Machine," said Brian. "He was awesome."

There's that word again. I should probably stop with the quotes right now and just repeat "AWESOME!!!" for several screens to give you the full effect of the reaction I was getting, but instead I'll end with one of the reasons Brian's wife Ashley enjoyed the screened preview scenes so much:

"Robert Downey, Jr. is pretty delicious ... next to my husband, of course."

He didn't have a suit in the previous seasons? I remember watching the first episode of Smallville, didn't keep up with it after that. Never been a fan of the character

Looks like Downey Jr. has put on just a little weight, and maybe the studio is investing just a little less money this time around. Maybe they can fix those effects in post.
