Welcome to The Now

Buffy was, an essence, everything cool about the 90's (which is why is wasn't destined to last long). Angel was the perfect blend of the Ann Rice/Twilight vampire story mixed with the 30 Days of Night/Blade vampire story, with the detective genre thrown in for good taste. That being said, Firefly and Dollhouse were just not meant to be . Whedon relied too much on the TV cred he earned at the WB and though it would carry over to FOX. And as for Dollhouse specifically, I can't be the only one who saw an episode and thought, "How did Faith lose her memory, and why does Fred have a slashed face?" Of course, in true fashion it's not Whedon's fault .

Not in a dirty way , perverts: “Well, I actually did pitch a ‘Batman’ film when [Warner Bros. began developing "Batman Begins"], and it wasn’t what they did but the vibe was very similar,” said Whedon. “Mine was a bit less epic. It was more about the progression of him and it was more in Gotham City. He didn’t go to Tibet and meet cool people, but it was very similar in vibe [to Nolan's "Batman Begins"].” I'm kinda torn on this. No doubt Whedon could pull off a dark Batman, but I get the feeling that he'd end of swimming in snark-infested waters. And do we really want the Joker to say, "Don't wig out?" or "I'm five-by-five?" Besides, I like Christopher Nolan's more international take; it fit more with some background stories that had Bruce Wayne traveling around the world (and not just Gotham City) in order to find the right ways to combat crime. I will say that I'd eagerly await a Whedon-scribed Wonder Woman movie...o...
