The graphic design is nice, but the copy is beyond embarrassing self-parody. Perfectly fine in something as ridiculous as All-Star Batman, but used here it makes you think Frank just can’t do it any other way. and that’s just sad. Eisner certainly had his literary pretensions, but Denny Colt the character is about as far from this kind of doggerel as you can get.

Panel four: I feel my spleen burst.

Is this representative of the movie’s tone? Eegah, I hope not.

Hopefully this doesn’t wind up being a Sin City-ish reimagining of The Spirit. Nothing against Sin City, but Sin City is not The Spirit.

I think it is rather striking. Frank Miller is a visual genius, so I have no doubt the film is going to be a feast for the eyes.

I’m expecting an old fashioned forties noir film kinda style interpertation of the spirit with certainly some elements of miller’s own visual style added in.

I want to believe this will somehow do justice to the amazing work Eisner did on The Spirit, but this just looks like more of Frank Miller’s ham-fisted noir to me. If Miller wants to do this with his own creations that’s fine. If DC wants to let him do that with Batman that’s their business. But of any comic series, Eisner’s Spirit certainly deserves better.

Whoops - I mean if his TIE was Blue.

In all seriousness this makes me not want to see this film at all. I’d be interested in a seeing a Spirit movie. But this looks to be a sequel to Sin City.

Looks like “Sin City 2″.

I fear that you’re going to be extremely disappointed.
