The Jonah Hex movie looks horrible, especially for a Palmiotti&Gray series fan.

Keaton “smooth” as Bruce Wayne? Puh-leeze… He was slumming, sleepwalking even through those movies. Never once did Keaton make me believe he was Bruce Wayne.

Bale, OTOH, just NAILED the part from the get-go. He looks more the part, has the build for the part, and balanced the act of being an aloof, yet charming, playboy with the reality that Wayne is always focused and on top of everything going on around him.

I can believe Bale’s Bruce Wayne buying a hotel and then taking two harlots for a swim in the decorative pool, landing a helicopter at the penthouse and making a grand entrance with still more harlots or taking the women of the Russian ballet on a boat cruise. I can’t see Keaton doing any of that.

I saw a 10-second teaser of the trailer yesterday at Topless Robot, and in that, the disfigurement wasn’t spotlighted, but it was seen.

On one hand, I think someone at WB’s PR department is hoping to downplay the scar until late in the promotion cycle in hopes to pique audience interest at the last minute. But on the other hand that logo seems wildly inappropriate for the kind of movie we think it’s going to be, and that poster does have more of a Nolan-Batman or X-Men feel to it.

I guess we’ll see soon enough. The full trailer is supposed to drop with Nightmare on Elm Street this Friday, so we should see a “leaked” full trailer online within the next day or so.

As much as I like Keaton as Bruce Wayne, he wasn’t smooth. That was part of why I liked him. He was weird, and a little disconnected, Bruce Wayne filtered through Tim Burton’s tendency to make all his leads a bit off. Keaton’s Bruce seemed like he was trying very hard to be Bruce Wayne and falling short. And his courtship of Vicki Vale was a far cry from things like Robert Downey Jr’s seduction of a reporter who thought Tony Stark was scum before and after their night together.

They felt the actor was important enough to have his name above the title, no wonder they put the deformed part in shadow.

I bet he spends part of the movie (before the incident, flashbacks, whatever) undisfigured.

That Jonah Hex poster treatment is just odd – shiny logo, spacey blues … all very SF. Maybe they’ve confused the cowboy book with the shortlived ‘Jonah in the future’ Hex book.
