February 7, 2012 at 6:37PM EST Reply to CommentFor those who have more experience with the works of Mark Bomback and James Mangold, what kind of vibe should we expect from this? Wolverine as a character is like a nice car. If you have somebody who knows how to drive it, it could be great. If not, it will just look cool and probably smash into things or blow up. I'm not expecting Shakespeare, however I do think we have seen directors and writers that know how to do compelling things with Batman and Spider-man (emo-Spidey aside), however they just seem to be trending toward dumbing down Wolverine. I had high hopes for what Aronofsky could do with the character, so hopefully they give him some depth and not just make him an indestructible extroverted blender with a funky hair-do.
