Cold reboot. Same thing as [happened to the Batman franchise in 2005.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Begins)

That was 16 years later, though. We’re talking 5 years here. I’ve known for a couple years that this was going to be a reboot but didn’t know it was going to be another origin story. Those always waste at least the first 45 minutes of a movie. :mad:

An at least the Batman redo was to change the tone from campy to dark- this new Hulk seems to be pretty smiliar to the last one. And Edward Norton is pretty pissed about the final result, not sure if that’s good or bad.

Luckily though, the movie starts with Banner already Hulk, in hiding, so not a complete redo I guess.

Is there something more recent than [this](http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/04/forget-friction.html), from April 18th, where he claims to not be pissed?
