  7. Anonymous Says:

    To the Anon above me.

    Why is it terrible? Because it isn’t an exact clone of A FUCKING CARTOON!!!

    Mate, its an adaptation. If you’re gonna say its bad atleast put a valid reason, otherwise you’re just another pathetic troll. Infact GTFO of this website.

  11. anonymous Says:

  12. Anonymous Says:

    @scarface078/tony

    He said Gi not CGI… :wink:

    The pic’s not bad, hopefully one with higher resolution come about soon (same deal with the “teaser poster”)

  13. Marc Says:

    Looks very interesting… just can’t wait to see the trailer! I don’t want “Dragonball 2009″ to come on screen I wanna see Chatwin as Goku in all his glory!

  14. Bucky-O-Hare Says:

    yyyyyyaaaaaaayyyyyy

  15. Fayel Says:

    ok i fuckin love this…… and the ki looks so real… i had my doubts about what the ki would look like and now i think they are going to actually make it look good….. i mean if that lil ki ball looks that good…. just think about the actual blast not to mention the freakin kamehameha wave!!!

  16. dukemon22 Says:

    Don’t know if this helps, but the magazine that came from appears to be V-Jump.

  17. DjiNN Says:

    Is master rosi gonna have a hat? 8) I think (hope) its not a pic from the movie

  18. AlexM Says:

    Hah. I like the hair!
    They spruced it up afterall!

  19. scarface078/tony Says:

  20. scarface078/tony Says:

    dubble post sorry wrote last post wrong
    :
    sorry i thought he wrote cgi xD then i must agree better gi was better looking

  21. dukemon22 Says:

    why? Roshi had a had plenty of times in the anime.

  22. jeff Says:

    http://www.bsabas.net/bsabas_boys/C/chatwin_justin05.jpg

    Uh, apparently Goku is also a homosexual. I can’t picture Goku dating Vegeta rather than fighting him. Ew.

  23. supersqueak Says:

    I wonder what it says?

  24. Jesssse Says:

    :mrgreen: Next up, Piccolo

  25. Craig Says:

    In response to Jeff, Justin Chatwin is straight that picture you have there is from the show “Weeds” on Showtime he plays a homosexual character in the show.

  26. Ray Says:

    Okay… THIS is what I needed to get excited for the movie. Browsing imdb and other sites all I’ve found is crap about racism and better casting. hopefully that teaser is around the corner.

  27. Lady Vi Says:

    Oh…My…God *drools*

    I know I’m gonna like this movie!

  28. DjiNN Says:

    yes but where are roshis sunglasses, beard and mustage??? 8)

  29. BradBalboa Says:

    Not to shabby, i liek it, the energy ball looks like a mini sun, makes me all tingly lookignat it, Goku just staring at the power in his hands AWSOME !!
    Next up PICOOLO !!! :mrgreen:

  30. Amsterdam Says:

    Terrible man! Damn……he looks like a geak, nerd…….i´m so dissapointed

  31. Tegan Says:

    i really like it a lot :wink: i just hope that it is real :-)

  32. Charlie Says:

    See thats so strange, Millions of fans were going…. OMG HES GONNA BE TERRIBLE Blah de blah…. and around half of them are now saying: WOW!

    XD As most ppl are saying…. SHOW :mrgreen: AND BULMA ;D

  33. CHIZURU Says:

    Awesome, much better than I expected!
    Justin Chatwin looks cute! Can’t wait for the trailer!!

    I posted on the boards what it says:

    ドラゴンボールハリウッド映画化!!
    2009年春その夢がついに!
    全世界に先駆け日本上陸決定!!

    Hollywood making Dragonball into film!!
    Finally the dreams come true in 2009 Spring!
    It’s decided Japan landing in advance of the entire world!!

    I’m unable to read the rest since text is too small. Hope this help and we can get some better quality of this pic!

  34. Jeff Says:

    It still bugs me. I think that we deserve at least a Gi, I mean I do love this pic but…. it just kind of feels out of place without the Gi… :|

  35. JP Says:

    Well, he can’t very well wear the gi the entire film now.

  36. www.myspace.com/coreywilson10 Says:

    Energyyyyyyyyyyyy Blast!!!!!!!!!! Yessssssssssss!
    I have to admit this is the best Dragonball pic. Im like totally blown away!!!! Now this is what Dragonball is all about. Justin chatwin looks like he came straight out of the show. This movie is going to be so freakin’ alwsome. :D

  37. ToThe Guy who said Justin Chatwin was gay Says:

    I should whoop yo ass for putting that on here it had nothing to do with the picture you weak ass hoe ass bitch ass stupid ass punk!!!
    I like the picture also.

  38. Ryoga Hibiki Says:

    I don’t mind that the film is coming out in Japan before it comes out here, but I do wish Fox would throw the American fans a bone and release some promotional images online.

    As for Goku not wearing a gi in this image — it’s obvious that the picture is nothing more than a promotional image, so I don’t mind that he’s not wearing a gi. Besides, we know the gi comes later (based on some of those set photos, the gi will be the proper orange and blue).

    More importantly than the shirt is the hair — they got the hair about as spot on as they ever could in a live action film. I like the way it’s layered and spiked. Well done, make-up team!

  39. Bucky-O-Hare Says:

    What is this, I wonder. Is it a promo shot? And the whole debate over whether goku’s asian needs to end. Chatwins clearly portraying an alien from some other planet who’s been raised in some kind of asian culture.

  40. J Says:

    Judging from the pictures, Chatwin and Rossum appear as they do in the movie. So I’d say yes, that is what Chow Yun Fat will look like as Master Roshi, which would be pretty stupid as he looked more like Roshi in Pirates of the Caribbean than he would in the actual Dragon Ball film.

  41. Nick Says:

    Hey Jeff that picture you posted of Justin in the pool with another guy was on a show “weeds”..thats not really he was on the first episode as a gay kid..lol..just thought i let you know

  42. Nick Says:

    misspelled..that was not real..it was on a show Weeds

  43. AlexG Says:

    dang this picture is badass…..cant wait for the movie

  44. www.myspace.com/coreywilson10 Says:

    Yes I agree I wish we American fans would get some credit, but It doesn’t really matter. Im still excited to see it in Japan!!!! I think Master Roshi is teaching him the Kamahamaha in that pic.

    8) It actually took me 50 years to do the Kamahamaha, but it took Goku 1 minute. I feel so embarressed!!

    :D Don’t worry Master Roshi Bulma doesn’t know how to do it.

    8) Oh yeah!! You have a point Goku. Im still the Roshi man he, he, he, he

    :-) Hey master Roshi look what I can do!! I can do the kamahamaha

    8)

    :-) Ka ma ha ma haaaaaaaaaa

    8)

    :D I guess she’s a quick learner

  45. Sgt.pepper54321 Says:

    whos the character next to chow yun fats picture it sorta looks like gohan

  46. scarface078/tony Says:

    Amsterdam
    tog iemand nog van nederland haha

  47. Sn1p3r4nL Says:

    ik ook :P

  48. arogony Says:

    yea…that does look like gohan cause the actual person definately isnt justin chatwin

  49. Jeff Says:

    Sgt.pepper54321 Thats Chatwin! Look right next to his head its a pic of goku!

  50. Arronax Says:

    OH MY FUCKING HOLY GOD!!

  51. Victor Says:

    I actually dont think thats an energy ball, i mean, look at gokus face, he isnt struglin to make it, and this is suppose to be the first movie…. I honestly think thats a dragonball that lit up when it gets near other ones, maybe in the movie they will float or maybe it was the last one to get it next to the other 6 and starting floatin…. either way, i have my money that thats not an energy ball but a dragonball….
    8) Victor, your crazy…..

  52. scarface078/tony Says:

    dude goku did the kamehameha easily WHIT OUT struglin c’mon its goku the powerfulest saiyan he isnt meant to be from earth you know, for videl it was hard yes.. NOT GOKU

    think people think! - friends(monica geller)

  53. Tasunara Says:

    i still say they could have given him bangs. he still looks cool. btw anyone who says speed racer would bomb sucks. Speed Racer kicked ass. i saw it opening day. :D :-) 8) :x :mrgreen:

  54. alex Says:

    um i think thats a dragon ball too, Kamehameha’s aren’t that small, and he would be in a different position. uh… just my 2 cents :wink:

  55. Jeff Says:

    Victor Did you not listen to what Gohan said when he was teaching Videl how to fly and make physical kai blasts? He said that one must stay calm for it to work other wise your just tensing up. Heres the episode: http://www.otakucenter.com/dragon-ball-z-ep-t2475.html

  56. The Summoned Says:

    this is astounding, the more realistic they make it, the more powerful it becomes, and more appealing to the audience, especially young adults (im not talking about 6 yr old kids). this is what dragonball is about. you capture the excitment of the animation into a reality. now it’s understandable why the talking animals were omitted from the movie, and why Justin kept his original hair. the more realistic the movie is, the more effective it becomes. I strongly think this movie is going to pull it off.

  57. Jofro Says:

    I like how they touched up Goku’s hair :D . I can not wait to see this in theaters ( I just finished watching Iron Man and can not wait to see some similar effects executed in this movie).

  58. AlexM Says:

    Hah. That’s not the Spirit Bomb. That’s not even a Dragonball. I think that’s just a ki ball. Remember he didn’t know how to use those when he was younger so Master Roshi probably taught him that.

    I am really disappointed with how they’re making Master Roshi. He’s an old man. There’s really no way to explain why they did this other than to make “creative” changes. They’ll probably explain it as since Master Roshi drank from the Fountain of Youth, he stays young.

    Or they’ll change the story so that it was Grandpa Gohan who trained Master Roshi.

    P.S: Stop with the damn skits.

  59. RazorBlade Says:

    Well i have one question for all….
    Do you guys tought that the movie would not be amazing?We are talking about 20th century fox people and if it was bad first they would not released it and second they would not sign for 2 more movies after seen this one…
    My opinion its better then i expected.

  60. AlexM Says:

    @RazorBlade: I think this movie has potential and can be great. But your logic is idiotic. Fox has released a number of bad movies and made sequels to them. Furthermore, if the movie is really bad and makes horrible profits, the actors and director have a right to nullify the contract. So While I think this movie can be great, we can’t think that just because Fox is making the movie that it will be great. They’ve released LOTS of bad movies.

  61. Avenant Says:

    LOVE IT!!! :D

  62. CJB Says:

    not bad at all, but I’m still waitin on that Piccolo pic!!! :mrgreen:

  63. deluxxx eggroll Says:

    thats an energy ball.
    the dragonball is tied to his upper arm.
    oh and we’ll prolly start seeing some promotionals, cause didnt they say that they wanted at least a year of promotions?

  64. Jeff Says:

    There is no real Dragon Ball in this stop making stuff up.

  65. deluxxx eggroll Says:

    check the left bicep

  66. Folklore Says:

    I’m still on the fence.
    It’s not bad but I hope he beefs up a little bit.
    I know they can’t make it exactly like the anime but I’m not very forgiving because of how huge of a part DB & DBZ played in my childhood.

    Sidenote: I believe he’s looking at a dragonball.
    Some people were saying it’s a ball of energy or something but I imagine the DBs are the focus of the film (based on the anime) so yeah…

    I think the image near his arm is part of a picture that was cut off in the scan. It doesn’t look like part of the actual photo. The DB’s are a bit larger than that image too.

    I don’t think we’re making stuff up Jeff.
    It’s just speculation. no one is calling anything they’ve said a fact.

  67. masamune Says:

    I love how everyone thats complaining about Goku’s hair seemed to completely overlook that fact that his hair is brown… not black. that kinda bothers me but not a whole lot :lol:

  68. Folklore Says:

    I really wonder about his voice!
    I know it won’t be anything like Sean but I wonder if he adopted a bit of a Goku tone or something. :?:

  70. LSB Says:

    I still Think Justin is too small he need to bulk up 10 - 15 pounds would be nice but maybe he will for the next movie.

  71. DBiscool Says:

    ooks good :D but i am dissapointed with the comments on comingsoon.net and several other websites that have posted this pic. Everyone is complaining and saying justin should be buffed up and that it should have been played by an asian.

    Very dissapointed. :cry: Hopefully the movie makes good money and we can get a sequel but with so much negativity surrounding the project i think it will be hard for it to make money. Infact from what I am hearing this movie has the most negative buzz of all the movies fox has ever done.

    Also those expecting master roshi like the cartoon will be dissapointed. He won’t be pervert and he won’t have moustache and beard.

  72. DB Fan Says:

    DBiscool I agree that there has been alot of bad press surrounding this movie but you have to look at it from a fans standpoint. Hell look at it from a logical standpoint. I’ve asked fans and non-fans alike and they agree this movie already looks to ruin a great franchise. Goku and the Dragonball series visually is about muscles and crazy hair. Ok they got the hair. But at least they could’ve had the damn boy put on some weight. Because Goku has NEVER been a skinny surfer looking kid. And the fact that he’s American I dont care because we know why that the US is incapable of making a movie without throwing a white face in the lead role ( Forbidden Kingdom anyone?) And its sad but stupidly true. And Master Roshi not being is perverted and normal self will also take away from the story as well. I understand it is an adaptation. But for those not familiar to the series will get a very bad start into the world of DB.

  73. dukemon22 Says:

    To all the fans who are unhappy with this pic…well, too bad I guess lol. If you’re going to diss the movie before you even see anything remotely signifigant, there’s no way you’re going to enjoy it- that’s the truth. And maybe that’s what you want. If you need everything to be like the anime, then watch the anime.

    Oh, and JP, here’s a hq pic of the scan, thanks to the japanese 2ch boards ( feel free to host from my blog):

    http://clearblogs.com/uploads/d/dukemon22/48224.jpg

  74. dukemon22 Says:

    Just noticed something- the american release date, according to the article is April 3rd, 2009

  75. DB Fan Says:

    Oh and another thing that makes me mad about the choices made in this movie is….NO KRILLIN!!!!! How do you even think about making a Dragonball movie without Krillin. He is an essential part of Goku’s life and training. Not to mention thats like making a Superman movie where Lois Lane doesn’t exist. Period

  76. DB Fan Says:

    And duke its not about things being exactly like the anime but you have to admit. A skinny american play goku, no krillin, and mster roshi not being the original guy we know. I know its an adaptation but at least TRY and make it somewhat close to the original anime.

  77. dukemon22 Says:

    the original anime would not work on the big screen period.

    Krillin was dead during the Piccolo Saga, and as much as I love Krillin, he would be put to no use in this movie, which is probably why they went with having goku have school friends instead of introducing the z fighters only to have them fail immediately.

    He, Tien, Chaotzu and the others are better off saved for the sequel, where they can give them some proper screen time.

    And as super-muscular as goku is, the character in dragonball was not. The movie is trying to be realisitc. Goku’s not a body builder, he’s a martial artist.

  78. Anonymous Says:

    wowee,

    this indeed does look shocking, as does the new GI Joe film…

    but the thought does cross the mind, why on earth would you make a live action version of DBZ series? its just great the way it is and a long saga!! this instead will be squashed into hmm lets thing three films maybe? it’s like the american film companies going to remake AKIRA in a fucking live action format?! for like what cause?!

    it’s just sad…

  79. lebnash1 Says:

    good comment dukemon22… very rational

    my only doubt about that pic is the energy ball thing… it looks like a glowing lens flare!?? y cant vfx company be a bit more creative

  80. DBZimran Says:

    that looks nothing like goku this movie will suck :( :x

  81. First Look At Justin Chatwin As Goku In Dragonball! | Filmonic Says:

    [...] Dragon Ball Movie Blog were sent scans from a Japanese magazine showing the first image of Justin Chatwin as Goku. [...]

  82. DB Fan Says:

    yes i understand that but still if you watch the cartoon goku for one never went to school and two although he wasn’t a body builder he still had more muscles than Justin does. And like i said I dont want the original anime in the movie and this is NOT the piccolo saga in the move FYI

  83. Gosha Says:

    Hmmm, it’s a Ki ball, Justin’s hair is realistic yet you can tell it’s Goku, he don’t need mucles really, he was pretty scrawny in Dragonball when compared to Z. As for Krillin, i’m sad he isn’t involved but i think like someone said above, he and other main characters will be brought in at a later time =] Fox just wanna suprise us I reckon. Go Chatwin!! :D I like!

  84. good old dave Says:

    i heard from my brothers friends mums sisters cousins great grandads uncles sons sisters brotheres dads cousins brothers mums sons sisters brother that master roshi wont be wearing the cool glasses int he film

  85. kingvegeta58 Says:

    pls look to the boards i’ve found a better version of this picture :D

  86. The Summoned Says:

    If you guys think this movie is great, then the upcoming sequels will be even better. Remember, dragonball wasn’t about muscles, relatively to dbz. In order to initiate a story, you have to have a groundzero and build your way up from there. IF this movie is to have lots of ki blasts or special attacks, it wouldn’t be too great. I think it’s better if they build up the story line and mix abit of dbz fighting style to get the audience excited. Don’t be dissapointed if you don’t see alot of muscles in this one. As long as they capture the excitment, it’s all set.

  88. The Summoned Says:

    in order for goku to have muscles, he needs lots of trainings. in dbz we see alot of that (i.e, 100x gravity, other world, etc…) it’s all part of the story. you can’t just skip all this and mount muscles on Justin just yet. It wouldn’t make sense from realistic point of view.

  89. arecheese Says:

    i hope its gonna turn out good coz rite now, it doesnt look like its gonna be good at all

  90. scarface078/tony Says:

    well trunks and goten didnt got much muscles so why are you guys even caMe up whit this muscle probleme
    he dont need to ok in the sequals he must be but thats not probleme sequals are far away from now

  91. masongoliver Says:

    This looks like a training uniform. It must be a scene in Kami’s temple where he first creates a Ki ball.

  92. masongoliver Says:

    can someone translate that whole bottom paragraph on the new scan? i also noticed it said March 2009 for the japanese release, but April-3 2009 for the world-wide release.

  93. DjiNN Says:

    http://dbthemovie.com/images/hq.jpg better quality :D

  94. VEGETApsycho Says:

    TO ppl confused about the due dates and what not, its released in MArch in Japan, but later in April in the US…

    BY THE WAY THIS LOOKS FANTABULOUS for even a picture taken thru a camera or something (probably messed up the the Ki ball a bit, it does look fake and all, or maybe thats the doing of the Shonen Jump editors? i duno) OMGOSH I GET TO SEE CHATWINS HAIR AND FACE WOWOWOWOOW!!! (he looks cute btw)

    and fr those flamers whining about his skinniness and what not, shud anyon complain that much, when DB itself isnt all about being buff but about the epicness and the story? Cmon hes got time to train for the next movie~~~ This IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!!!!!

  95. VEGETApsycho Says:

    but I gotta say, Roshi cudve at least looked more like Sao Feng from Pirates of Teh Carribean 3…. 8)

    THIS MOVIE IS GONA BIG!

  111. Daimao wants you to die Says:

    Hum, you’d think Shueshia would choose glossy paper to put that on instead of what appears to be Manga paper. Aswell, this appears to be lacking the V-Jump, or Weekly Jump logos splatered around the corners. Aswell as a lack of page numbers. Then again, this could be an ad placed by FOX, and not an actual article. But it’s sure odd that an ad features so much text, as well as a lack of a website to bring people to. Smells fishy to me.

    Anyways, what Chatwin is wearing in the main picture reminds me of some of Team Canada’s apparel for the Beijing Olympics. Although it isn’t, it just reminds me so.

  112. Chris Says:

    8O Hey, I think this poster looks preety bad ass, and this film is looking very promissing, so for all you skeptics out there, think about this. We’re talking about 20th Century FOX, same guys who brought you Star Wars, and many many other kick ass films, the special effects team is the same people who worked on the best Spider-man flic, which was number two, imagine those guys flying through the air like they made spidey swing through manhattan, and the make up is by the same dude that worked on hell boy and fantastic 4, I think this movie has a great ensemble and to tell you the truth I have a lot of faith in the out come of this film. Cant wait for the teaser to come out. 8O

  113. Fayel Says:

    ok for the people who are blaming this by sayin chatwin is nothing like goku are wrong…. this is dragonball not dbz or dbgt ok……. in dragonball goku wasnt this big burly nappa!
    in the last few episodes where goku was grown up a lil he was still small and what mae him strong was his spirit. his hair is fine…. so what if its not parted to an angle or whatever its still in goku form. and the energy ball…… theres no telling what that is i mean damn its not like they are doing the story right anyway… from what ive read gohan is killed by piccolo not great ape goku. but if i had to say anything about the energy ball….. for all we know it could be the first spirit bomb…. i mean the one in dbz that got thrown at vegeta was small. i mean it looks like a small spirit bomb but i doubt it is…… like i said this is db not dbz, but who knows how they are going to do the story.
    :D VS :mrgreen:

    es una mierda tan grande como yo

  118. Lady Vi Says:

    Whoa! 117 comments!! this is like a record for this site! :D

    Just imagine how many comments there’ll be when the teaser comes out!

  119. DBiscool Says:

    ^ 5000+ :mrgreen:

  120. Lady Vi Says:

    And for the trailer like, 10,000 :D

  121. DBZM28 Says:

    Wow he looks a lot like Goku down in the panel on the bottom of the page! :o

  122. Avenant Says:

    Robert -

    It was a tie. Goku was stronger than Superman and could kick his ass, but Superman can’t die so it was a draw.

  123. Jeff Says:

    Goku would obliterate Superman.

  124. Iraine Says:

    I don’t know about this country, but there has been virtually unanimous booing against the movie from people coming from countries that actually have a true dragonball culture when this page came out. Won’t surprise me if the people over there set up boycotts and the movie flops.

  125. funkamatic Says:

    Freaking sweet that they gave the first official media to Shonen Jump, the place that started it all.

    and on the superman debate:

    Goku (when he turns SSJ for the first time) could destroy the earth no question. Superman could beat the goku from the beginning of the manga to about 23th Budokai Tenkaichi. but not after.

  126. Ironman Says:

    This dosent look bad, I wonder which tecnique is Justin doing in this picture?

  127. LSB Says:

    To the Goku vs Superman debate, Superman can move planets with his strength(do some research on superman its true), Goku can’t even at ssj 4. I mean don’t get me wrong I love Goku and he is strong so all he has to do is get a hold on Goku and don’t let go, far as the speed go’s its pretty much a tie and the energy blast well it all depends with one it is a super kahmama(spelt righ?) at ssj 4 then he would be able to hurt him good but by the time Goku summonds enough power to do it Superman can get to him in time so I would pick Superman on this one.

  128. SimplyIrresistible! Says:

    OMG! WTF, I knew it was terrible when they casted Justin Chatwin, I mean, is it me or was Goku taller and Stronger, and I mean, they should have cast a totla unknown like they did for Superman, Im sad, movie looks extremely cheesy, but it make millions simply off of the name. WHY????

  129. HInkle Says:

    SHut up Know ONE cares about super man and yes yes goku can movie planets and yes yes goku can hurt superman and yes yes GOKU IS WAY BETTER AND KNOW ONE CARE ABOUT SUPERMAN SO SHUT UP. :x :x :x

  130. Lady Vi Says:

    Whoa Whoa people, let’s calm down. You guys are getting off the subject. If you want to star a big long debate about who’s stronger, Goku or Superman. Then go to the boards and create a topic, but don’t flood this with pointless debating. Its giving Piccolo a headache :mrgreen:

  131. HInkle Says:

    Sorry i was just meaning that we shouldn’t even talk about superman here this is a dragonball site not superman

  132. LSB Says:

    Were does it say Goku can move (not movie get it right) planets? Like I said he is strong but not stronger then Superman know your charactors before you committe alright HInkle and this is my last time comiiting on this subject.

  133. Dragon Ball al Cine (Movie) Says:

  135. DBiscool Says:

    Iraine

    because people are fools. They should be glad they are getting a movie on it while other studios said “fuck dragonball it sucks”

  136. SSj Jon Says:

    I don’t think anyone else has pointed this out but its about noon Monday in japan right now. All I’m saying is that jp you might wanna stay up for a while because we might get some news over night

  137. Media @ Midnight » Blog Archive » First Photo of Justin Chatwin as Goku Says:

    [...] scan from the Dragon Ball Movie Blog reveals our first look at the live action [...]

  138. DBiscool Says:

    Hey JP here you say you love the image while on superherohype you say you are not a fan of the image.

    Whats up dude? :?

  139. Jeff Says:

    I noticed that also DBiscool. What is up JP? :|

  140. JP Says:

    Not a fan of DorkyFresh’s manip. :)

  141. Anonymous Says:

    I hate when people ask “WHY MAKE A DBZ LIVE ACTION FILM? ITS FINE JUST THE WAY IT IS”… exactly its fine the way it is, SO WHY NOT make a live action film for fun… thats why we have live action films so we can see an adaptation with REAL people.

  142. Joe Says:

    His arm looks better, more buff in the HQ version.

    Woot

  143. Paul Says:

    about the superman thing…anyone can take him down. i say this because he has a weakness agaisnt kryptonite. it may not be easy to get a hold of it..but any person can access it. so that being said..

    Goku wins regardless

  144. Prince Says:

    coooool about this movie I don’t know but the pic is good looks good enough for a good movie.And people that’s not justin chatwin from this day on he is goku.
    :D He is me

    :-) cool

    8) hey where is my glass

    :x Pathetic kakarot

    :mrgreen: Yo I am nowhere to be seen boring

  145. MoRe Says:

    Should of at least made his hair black.

  146. DBiscool Says:

    ^ya his hair is kinda dry. But who cares.

    I just hope fox releases an official teaser poster and trailer sometime by the end of august.

    Ya i heard someone saying they will start showing stuff from june or july but i bet they won’t. They will leave it all till comic con if they are taking part in it. Last year they didn’t because of some fights they had with the president of comic con. Hopefully they have solved it now.

    But I am pretty sure they will release something in August. If not then I can’t help but say that the movie will be in trouble financially.

  147. DBiscool Says:

    look at how people are reacting to the pic.

    Seriously I will cry if this movie dissapoints at boxoffice and we don’t get a sequel of saiyan saga. :cry:

    I have never seen this much negativity. A smart studio would have released HQ quality amazing photos to curb any negativity or release some kind of footage. I mean it really doesn’t take much time to make a teaser trailer. I remember for f42 movie fox released a trailer so soon when the shooting wasn’t even half complete and it did create some positive buzz.

    I bet you on asian forums the comments must be worse.

    Please god if you aren’t racist make this movie a major blockbuster.

  148. scarface078/tony Says:

    dont worry i bett ya they can’t even name the best friend of goku krillin!
    those people never seen a cool saga of dbz like of frieza saga, majin buu saga and that kind of saga’s
