Fantastic Four Rides Again

I'm not a big fan of superhero movies. I think we all know that by now. But, I can't help be fascinated by them right up until the moment they come out. I guess it's all the design stuff, all the concept drawings and such. So next years Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer is the current object of fascination for me. Right off the bat I can't help but be excited by the prospect of the Silver Surfer and Galactus. So far we have not gotten any pictures of either, but they are rumored to be coming soon. This past week they did give out the picture of the new Fantasticar, which does look pretty sweet. Apparently rumors have Dodge paying a million dollars to have their logo on the front. Not too bad actually. Think about how much getting your car into something like a Bond movie costs. Anyway, probably the best part of all this was how I found out about the car. I first heard about it on Newsarama, but that was really just a link to the USA Today article. But the really funny part was what they said about the guy who designed the car. Both credit it to Tim Flattery, who Newsarama credits with designing the Batmobile in the new Batman Begins. However, USA Today is the one who actually gets it right, crediting Flattery with the design for the much less cool Batmobile in Batman Forever. I shall never trust Newsarama again.
