I'm kinda skeptical about this. I reserve my judgement, until I at least see the trailer.

Yah, if they're making this a summer release, that's a good sign.

I hope this reboot does Robocop justice.

@Superbatlantern85 teabag has the Teacave. Think the Batcave, but instead of supercomputers being used to monitor crime. He uses supercomputers for the purpose of finding pictures of hot girls. :P

Alright no reason to rush this. You might as well take your time and try your hardest, than rush it and make a flop

That one murphy shootdown scene early in Robocop did traumatize me as a kid though, i still wake up in a cold sweat to this day.. or maybe thats somebody dumping ice water on me for running late for work again... Dammit mom, they're gonna think I pissed my pants

@ MoonKnight91 - It's happened to us all. The number one cause of relationship breakdowns in the comic community is Teabag. In fact, he contributes an impressive 26% cause for all relationship breakdowns globally.

@ Teabag - reap the rewards? You said I was the only man you ever needed!
