I don’t think this the best story in the TinTin world to use for the first film. I would love them to do Destination Moon and then Explorers on The Moon. As a kid in France I have read those story over 100 time each one.

Before I had any idea who the hell Superman was I was reading The Adventures of TinTin. I guess you can say it was what got me into comics. So I have a lot of hope that this film will be done right. I am not to crazy about them making a 3-D Animation film. I would love if it was live-action.

What do you guys think of TinTin ? Do you know who he is ?
