Captain America

[Doctor Strange]

Seconded - Kingdom Come is a masterpiece! The more you know about DC characters/history, the more you'll like it, but even the casual reader will dig it.

Bill is right on that, great book. Plus Alex Ross' Marvels, my personal favorite.

Okay, so I took a closer look at the trailer, frame by frame and in Hi Def there are some interesting things I noticed. First the Red Skull photo, I won't repost it in high definition, but it is obvious he is pulling off a rubber face of some sort. I can see a fake ear and hair in the mask he is pulling off, and I did saw this little gem in the left of the screen...

Anyone speak or can read German? What does this sign say?

A thing of beauty, loved the new trailer!

 

[The Wolf]

Yeah, I'm excited.

I typed the words I could make out into Google Translator. Apparently, part of it means "launch pads - viewing platform".

 

[EmergencyIan]

Wow, it looks really good!

Now this is awesome:

 

[Mae Croft]

I need that on my wall!

But, it's a MODERN Harley Davidson dolled up to look like a vintage ride.... weren't WLA's opposed cylinders?

No the WLA was a v-twin 45 the XA was an opposed twin but came late in the war and never saw service, only 1016 were made.
The motor on the bike in the photo looks like an EVO, nice job dressing it up though. The disk brakes are a give away.

 

[hbenthow]

That's one of the best movie posters I've seen in years.

 

[Mae Croft]

He is punching Hitler in that, right? My eyes aren't playing tricks on me? If so then I need that poster more than I previously thought I did.

 

[The Wolf]

That poster is great!
From where is it?

Sincerely,
The Wolf

It's from here:

Mae Croft, looks like that's your chance to get one!

 

[Doctor Strange]

I thought I read that that poster was just for internal use, a gift for folks involved with the production. (Ah, I see I was right.)

And Mae, the Hitler thing is a direct homage to the very first Captain America cover, drawn by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon... well BEFORE the US was at war with Germany:

It is really a good movie, i have also read a comic book elated to this movie.

That's a really nice touch. Interesting, too - that must have put Marvel quite far ahead of the curve in terms of US foreign policy at the time?

I'm increasingly excited about this film, which is really something: Captain America was a character that just never appealed to me much before, but it looks like they're taking the story in a direction here which makes it more (for want of better word) accessible to a non-US audience.
