Hmmm …
I’ve got last night’s episode of Gotham on, in the background.
Mr Freeze is doing his horribly horrible Freeze thing to people: and in the Gotham take on the Batman mythos, has a sympathetic motivation.
Oh … and Penguin’s ended up in Arkham Asylum: having something of a Spartacus moment …
But that’s not all that caught my eye. During the ad break, I saw a trailer for the upcoming Warcraft movie.
Not something I think I’d be going for.
I’ve picked up the impression, over the years, that, while video and role-playing games make for great games, they don’t necessarily make for great movies.
Which I can’t help but think is a shame.
In part … ? Because that doesn’t necessarily do the games any favours.
But also means film companies aren’t necessarily looking to books as a source for a film.
Which is possibly a bigger shame.
