New Punisher Movie Posters

Some new Punisher: War Zone movie posters were released into the InterWeb.

They look pretty cool – kinda in the “Welcome Back, Frank” style that Steve Dillon/Garth Ennis used to revitalize the series. I really liked that series, as it did away with a lot of the silliness that had become the hallmark of the character – Microchip, The Battle Van, using a mini-gun in downtown New York and not activating the National Guard in the process . . .

It also gives a closer look at the “action collar” thing that has been bugging me from the trailer.

I supposed that its some kinda armour, but I think if you were going that route, you’d probably wear some kind of DEA-mask or helmet as well? Or maybe the slicked back hair has been rated to Level 2, so it’s not a concern?

The director is some German chick, so maybe its a goth/industrial thing?

The film is being described as a reboot of the first series, which is great, since that movie was so bad and didn’t at all set itself up for a good sequel (SARCASM ALERT).

There’s a credit for Microchip in the cast list, so let’s just hope this one doesn’t leave us longing for Dolph Lundgren.
