With the boffo box office and good worth of mouth for Wanted, we look toward the next violent and proud, R-rated comic book adaptation, Punisher: War Zone, opening this December. IGN received a new teaser poster for Lexi Alexander’s Marvel/Lionsgate reboot starring Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle, and besides the Indiana Jones rip-off tagline (look for future “LOL: Subway Vandals” Slashfilm posts), what’s not to like. Eyeballs equal overrated.
Discuss: Improve the poster’s tagline or ditch it and come up with a better one.
Update: /Film reader, Wizard in Tights, suggests, “I have a grenade.” Haha. Good job.

I’m not really excited about this film, but I’m gonna go see it. The only thing that bothered me about it was in the teaser, The Punisher is swinging upside down from a chandalier, that just really bothered me.

I should clarify, the image of the Punisher looks cool. Everything else is crap.
