Emerging bleary-eyed from the Mighty Marvel Bullpen today, it’s the new trailer for Iron Man 2, and it’s…fantastic!

All that and an AC/DC soundtrack as well -you can’t go wrong! Get your ass over to Apple for more info before the May release.
Since Iron Man, Spider-Man and The Dark Knight reminded them how succesful comic book movies could be, and with Thor girding his hammer for battle, rubbish-but-marketable X-Man gambit getting a spin-off and Green Lantern about to throw his ring into the…erm…ring.. Hollywood is nutso for capes right now.
Unfortunately they don’t usually get it right, leaving us clutching our popcorn in horror as Catwoman craps all over our fanboy dreams. Luckily, STS is on the case, so here’s a list of characters ripe for the big screen treatment, and a few studios shouldn’t touch with a Kryptonite bargepole!
