When the first of the newer Batman movies came out in 1989, Jack Nicholson played the first villain, the Joker. Baker said he was about 8 years old, arid he “flipped ^ » out. “It was the most enjoyable for me out of all the Batman movies,” he said. The comic-book heroes transferred to the big screen have not really disappointed Baker. He said he feels the directors do a lot of justice to the comic books. “Most of them are comic book readers. They know the little things that go on in the books and throw them in for the die hard fans but keep the flashy things in for the other fans,” said Baker. They want you to get “more Batman for your buck.” As for the hype behind the new genre of movie, Super Hero, Baker feels it was just a long time coming. “These guys have been big, it was just a matter of time before the technology could catch up and make the comics come to life.” In Bakers mind, there are a few super heroes that have been left out of the craze. He has heard a lot of underground talk about a movie based on one of the fastest men alive, the Flash. There have been rumors circulating that, if and when this movie is produced, Ryan Reynolds of “Van Wilder” and “Blade: Trinity” will be playing the Scarlet Speedster. n.i_ . • J L i i* .1 • UOIYLl oaiu 11V ULUV.VLO Li lid Id <t good move and would make an awesome movie. He is also happy that talk of making the comic, the Watchmen, into a movie has died down. “How do you make the best comic ever into a movie without ruining it?” he asked. Just like any true superhero fan, Baker has his wishes about what his super powers would be. When asked he said, “Flight. Or being the fastest man alive. But wouldn’t that make a great combination?” Comments on this story ? E-mail gamecockfeatures@gwm.sc. edu
