Yeah, I also noticed the irony that the second poster mentioned. Everyone was ok with the bastardizing of GI Joe by changing it’s name to REMOVE the American aspect but now they don’t like this one where they change the name and add it?

Did it occur to you that these are heroes of American culture, as opposed to saying they were all born here? Would it make sense to call it African Heroes? Or World Police Heroes? Or United Nations Heroes?

To be honest: If this film is really called “American Heroes”, the international box office will bomb, because a movie based on a comic series with “America” seems to be too patriotic for most countries (do not forget that America is not the most popular country in the world, right now).

If they called Sean William Scott or Jason Biggs for a role: American Pie Heroes If they gave a non-speaking role to 80's B film actor Michael Dudikoff: American Ninja Heroes If George Lucas were a producer: >em> American Heroes Graffitti If they keep going the way they are going : American Crapfest, also known as Communism Sounds Cool

WB listened one time when they were developing Superman Lives. At first, Tim Burton was to direct. Deal didn’t work. McG was hired, as well as Brett Ratner. During this, J.J. Abrams developed a script, which got a severe backlash that everything fell apart and led to Bryan Singer as director.

Holy shit, this can be a good story line (sentence dripping with irony).

Superman and Wonder Woman it is discovered are undocumented illegal aliens. President Tancredo orders them deported and it’s up to the AMERICAN HEREOS (Batman doesn’t like the edict, but can’t resist a chance to kick Superman’s ass), to bring them to justice.

Now come on guys. I think despite the possible name change and the casting, this film has alot of serious potent– BWA HA HA HA HA oh god, sorry I just couldn’t keep a straight face anymore.

Seriously though, one has to wonder if anyone in the WB offices listens to internet chatter. They have to know that this is being reviled before a single scene has been shot.

Of course, the cynic in me simply responds that they’re not making this movie for ‘fans’ or even the quasi-intelligent people. They’re making this for the individuals they know will, as always, blindly fill the theatres up, make them tons of cash. They’re making this for the little kids who will scream and pout and demand mommy and daddy drag them to see the movie — and then right to Toys R Us to buy all the merchandised crap that comes with it.
