Neat.

I'd actually go see it if the movie was named "Iron Man Beats the Shit Out of the Hulk," although, it would probably just be alluding to the box office.

Well goddammit. I suppose I have to see this now, as it may hint at a possible Hulk/Iron Man/Avengers team-up in the future. (And plus looking at Robert Downey instantly makes my nipples hard.)

Why... WHY did Edward Norton have to be in that movie?
Now I have to see it...

I don't mind the soft meekness! Matter of fact if she sticks her lip out and pouts would do wonders for ticket sales!

Here's an antidote for all the indie kid hand wringing going on concerning Hulk: pretend it's a disturbing sequel to Fight Club where Ed Norton's Tyler Durden persona was irradiated by the blast at the end of the movie. Oh the quotes!
"DID PUNY BANNER KNOW WITH EQUAL PARTS SMASH AND SMASH, YOU CAN MAKE SMASH?"
"SELF IMPROVEMENT. MASTURBATION."
Marla / Betty after sleeping with Hulk: "I haven't been fucked like that since Peter David's original run!"
That said, I hope that Hulk sneaks in some more Sam Jackson action with another Nick Fury cameo, and the "Me in a metal tube" bit at the end of the trailer cracked me up. Count me in line for the midnight showing.

The rason for Tony Stark in this is to try and convise Bruce to join the Avengers. This will also happen in Thor. I am sure.

@ Mr. Mason - My FC knowledge is probably better than my Hulk knowledge, but I'll play.

Man Hulk is going to be on must watch list too for this year, Iron man, hulk, Batman. Boy oh boy.

@ Annearchist:
That's the second raddest thing I've heard in conjunction with the Hulk today (the first being Lou Ferrigno's pipes on Big Green himself).
I can't continue the game without crossing over into X-Men territory, but oh well:

@ Mr. Mason: Nice one!
If we're going into X-Men territory, that's easier.
