Where has it said he's been lobotomized? I haven't read anything on the plot, so that could very well be, but that's a barbed wire tattoo on his forehead, not a scar.

Either way he looks like a throw-away character who's probably going to have less screen time than the Scarecrow in Dark Knight. I hope that MAYBE there is a chance it's just a quick scene that establishes the man who eventually becomes Rhino. I mean yeah, Rhino's always been a thug. But he's still supposed to be a guy who has super powers granted by science and technology. I guess my impression was that the first photo we'd see of him would be in his Rhino costume. So I was a little thrown-off.

Every time I wonder if someone has been miscast as a character in a comic book movie, I think to myself "Heath Ledger as Joker." Everyone thought he'd be terrible, but... well...

However, my scumbag brain tends to follow it up with "Halle Berry as Storm and Catwoman." And then it goes on a roll, "January Jones as Emma Frost, Julian McMahon as Victor von Doom, and every single person in Batman and Robin..."

When I first saw X-Men I asked myself "Why did they make Storm Chinese?"
True Story.
Don't ask me why I thought that.

Oh fuck, I just found out the movie's been written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. This movie is fucking doomed to be stupid as fuck.

I think what we're all learning here is that readers of Game of Thrones are better at keeping secrets that readers of Spider Man. One more thing to add to the list of questions when considering someone to help you hide a body.

Or it could just be that this is something so intertwined with Spider-Man's mythos since the 70s that most everyone knows about it by now?

You'd be suprised by the number of people who are unfamiliar with any Spider Man mythos that predates Toby Maguire.

That's going to be the worst kept secret "surprise" since Star Trek Into Darkness.

JJ Abrams: You guys, there's going to be someone from Trek canon in ST:ID, but you'll never be able to guess who!
Entire Internet: Is it Khan?
JJ Abrams: ....................... no.. :ninja:

I guess it's been so ingrained in my nerdhood for decades that I assume it was like a "Luke, I am your father" kind of deal.

Unfortunately, no. I can't recall any non-comics fan (minus my dad, but he liked Spider-Man when he was young) that wasn't surprised when I told them there was a love interest pre-Mary Jane and why she's no longer around.

Also, calling it now:

The big bad for the second film will be Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, and the film will end with the famous bridge encounter involving Gwen Stacy. Also, they're going to introduce MJ, and I desperately hope they do it with the "face it tiger" line.
