Hulk (2003)
A decade of development hell, enough writers to take down a gorilla (maybe even a Hulk), and a director dealing with daddy issues. This week, Chris and Lizzie smash into the origins of Ang Lee's Hulk, a brooding mid-aughts Marvel misfire that's just a bit misunderstood. They'll discover the Hulks that almost were (animatronic!), the Hulks that we deserved (Steve Buscemi!) and the Hulks that came to be (Ang Lee gettin' that rage out).
*CORRECTIONS:
Hulk #1 was released in March of 1962 (not May, as stated), but carried a cover date of May.
In the comics, Bruce Banner was helping the military develop a Gamma Bomb, not Gamma Rays.
The 1994 production of "Fantastic Four" (Roger Corman), which Chris references, was created solely to prevent the rights of the characters from being reverted to Marvel.
