i really enjoyed Gotham Knight…they had some fantastic stories that expanded on the batman ethos…my favorites were the ones with the bullet deflecting devise, deadshot, croc, and the one that ended with bruce holding all those guns…good stuff imo

Actually, Reeves playing the Bebop would be inspired casting. Play to his strengths.

I don’t get why Reeves played such a dead character in Matrix either. I mean I get that he was suppose to be some disconnected from what he thought was the real world, but wasn’t for sure, guy. And then he had to learn all this new stuff in a short time and just listen to his teachers, but still, I don’t know. He just still seemed like nothing more then a vessel for this amazing thing to come threw to the Matrix.

Most everything else Reeves has done was pretty good. Loved him in Point Break, Speed, A Scanner Darkly, Constantine, Something’s Gotta Give. But his portrayal of Neo in the Matrix does concern me. Plus the character of Spike is not like anything he’s done before.

The Spike character has allot of personality and there is allot to him. His story is pretty deep and very cool. Also Spike himself exudes a seance of coolness about him that’s on a level that only comes along with a character once in a great while. Can Reeves pull all this off, no, not from what I’ve seen of him. He can try to come close however and if he’s who they got to play Spike then we’ll just have to deal with it, or just not see the movie at all. ;P

Too bad that was only one of two good episodes (the other one being the Killer Croc episode).

The rest of the episodes were poorly written and don’t successfully serve as a bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Well cultural differences being an issue or not, Cowboy Bebop has very little. The creator of the series loves America and made it very easy for Americans to get into. The series is also riddled with hidden gems from our culture. It’s one of the easiest animes to get into, no matter who you are.

To me, anyone looking to get into anime, Cowboy Bebop is a perfect starting point.

And to say it’s not very popular is just silly. It was the first successful anime on Adult Swim and helped to keep Adult Swim on the air when it first started. Cowboy Bebop is also one of the few animes that started on Adult Swim that they still air today on a regular basis. And I remember when I saw the Cowboy Bebop movie in the theater and it was packed. I also know lots of people who only like Cowboy Bebop and no other anime.

Cowboy Bebop is one of the best and most popular animes of all time, period.

People forget his zany and energetic Theodore Logan.

Clearly he is capable of more than his dry presence, he just prefers it.

He will suit Spiegel just fine.

You do realize that Spike’s last name is not Bebop?

Keano to fanboys may = fail,

Keano to the world = Face, star, celebrity, someone to front the movie to the masses.

Personally I think Keano suits the role, his dead face and bland acting suit many an anime charactor.
