Are you sure that poster is real?
It looks fake.

Ugh, if people woulda just chuckled at it, and then let it be, Frank wouldn't feel the need to tweak readers by having Bats say it twelve times a sentence. Word. Though I still don't think that's so bad as Robin crushing Hal Jordan's windpipe, causing Batman to perform an emergency trachiotomy. It's one thing to make Hal look like a dork, but it's something else to have him get his ass handed to him by a little kid, even if it is Dick Grayson. Wait a minute, a little kid crushed the windpipe of a man with a ring that can manifest anything!!!!? What the f*** is Frank Miller smoking!!!!?

Since when does Robocop's eye area glow? Since he becomes a Broadway dancer. Uwe Bowell decided Robocop would be good as a musical. God, I hope the rumors are true about him casting Pauly Shore as Alex Murphy. !!!

Somehow, either Batman or Robin swiped the ring from him before the windpipe crushing (how it happened is beyond me). Still, though, it's not like Hal couldn't hold his own in a fight with a little kid acrobat.

Since when does Robocop's eye area glow? Because in this remake, he doubles as a toaster oven.

As a kid I always thought his visor glowed. I think there was a toy where it did.

I'm surprised they don't build some kind of ultra bright light source on RoboCop. It could incapacitate criminals. Like the spotlights on police cars that are designed so they can see your every move but you can't make anything out. It could come out of the shoulder area or something and just be small.

I don't get it. Why are they remaking Robocop of all movies?

The only WAY this is going to work.....th only HOPE IN HELL that it has.....is if they do a RADICAL right turn with it.l
This time, instead of being a guy, Murphy is a woman. And instead of merely being shot to shit, she's gangbanged before they execute her, firing squad style. Only she doesn't die.....by the merest sliver of luck, she's saved and brought back to life....as RoboCop, mark 2.
Sure she fights crime.....but her primary mission? Bring hellfire and pain to those who left her for dead. They could even have her killings be used against her by a slimy politico who wants the Robocop program to fail.
I mean, if they leave the story as is, it going to seem like an IRON MAN retread.....and besides, female cyborgs are SEXY.

Something like that. Even have her be pregnant (though not far along) and lose her baby. Give her some REAL hate-generating motivation to just absolutely go batshit on the gang that assaulted and attempted to murder her.
I think that's be JUST enough of a twist on an old character to bring in fans of the original, yet still be a new enough concept that it would intrigue those who are strangers to the series, as well.
I nominate Julie Strain for the lead.....
;D

That's actually an amazing idea, having Robocop be Lewis and the partner be Murphy. But I don't know if that would be too much, to have it happening to a woman. We don't necessarily see the excessive violence perpetrated on women in a lot of US films where the women are the victims. In the flashback in Kill Bill vol. 2, we see the Bride get shot in the head, but we don't see how she was massacred, along with her entire wedding party, before that shot. And even then, the shot to the head cuts out immediately after impact, as though the shot were incomplete.
But I love, love, love the idea, and I REALLY hope they use it, because remakes should only happen if:
1) Technology in the time of the original did not allow the creator's vision to be adequately realized. 2) The movie is the remake of a little known film that has items deserving modern exploration. 3) The movie being remade is altered (conceptually, schematically, thematically, whatever) enough to separate it from the original experience. 4) The film is being reworked to apply to modern audiences to send a message (for example, if they made "Apocalypse Now" but reset it during the War in Iraq).
I don't think Robocop has any business being remade (especially since I doubt they'll be able to capture the satirical tone of the film, like with those awesome commercials that play throughout the movie), but if they go with that idea of yours, I could get really excited about it.
But then again, I'm a HUGE Robocop mark, so I'd get excited anyway. But simply on principle, and not because I would expect it to be as good as the original.

Just don't let Frank Miller anywhere near 'em. They tried that once, didn't work out too well. Actually, I read the FRANK MIILLER'S ROBOCOP comic which was the story he wanted for 2&3, and it was good.

This movie will be a bastardization of the raw, gritty classic that is the original Robocop movie. Bastards.
