Frank Miller’s pic looks like a fiasco in the making, at least from this and the earlier, nearly just as horrible teaser trailer. The Spirit was so full of charm and heart and good, well, spirit. The teaser was full of mock-Batman angst, which is just way wrong. Meanwhile, the series’ trademark bad good girls and good bad girls just look like vulgar sluts.
I hope I’m wrong, because I’ve loved the comic since those wonderful Warren black and white reprints, but yeesh, this looks like a misfire.
The trailer appears to have been leaked to this site, so you might want to look at it while you can.
