I hear they are doing another comic book prequel, Looking forward to checking that out. I enjoyed the one they put out for the last film.

Read a brief synopsis but don't really know a lot. Sounds like it's going to be quite action heavy.

Poster looks kinda cool - but I think Batman did the idea better [and earlier].

Oh hey, another Batma... oh.

Bat Trek: Into Gotham.

It's not a spoiler unless you're right, and I don't expect it to be kept secret for much longer anyway. Give it a shot.

You think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark.

I was born in it.

Could be Charlie X. Or Gary Mitchell. Or Trelane. Or Apollo. Or any number of super powerful beings Kirk ran into in TOS.

My favorite part is the line in the synopsis:

"they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for"

How does one "detonate" a fleet, or what it stands for? That's not a verb to be used like that.

It's become a running joke on the Star Trek podcast I frequent.

Going by one of the buildings in the latest entry in the increasingly dull iconic shape cut out of building range of movie posters, that's London.

Notice the Gherkin?

I think that it's Gary Mitchell, At first i was thinking more along the lines of Charlie Evans, but i think Mitchell would make a better villain because he was Kirks best friend. Plus Benedict is a little too old to play a 17 year old boy.

As much as this makes sense, apparently

1. They've done Gary Mitchell in the Trek09 comics

2. They've said that the comics based on Trek09 are actually canon.

So probably not.

You can't really trek between the stars without encountering a lot of darkness.

TheBoost, I believe it is exactly as the title of this thread reads, with no colon.  From what I've read, the reason is because they wanted to avoid Roman numerals like the TOS-based films did, as well as avoid colons like the TNG-based films did.  Kinda self-limiting, I know, but their reasoning makes sense.

I must confess I'm not expecting much this time around.

I thought the last one was just another average Star Trek film almost exactly the same as Nemesis which I didn't mind that much so if this one is better and different it would surprise me in a good way.

Shush you.

I don't understand why anyone would really wanna see Khan again - if anything they could put him in the comics and save the big screen adventures for fresh stories [like they did with Gary Mitchell] - the whole point of rebooting the timeline.

Yeah, it's London. The London eye is in the left hand corner as well. Explains all the English actors in this film. I guess they're not playing french characters after all.

I quite like the new poster, it's certainly a lot different from all the other Trek posters. Colour me excited.
