Gotham’s most eligible bachelor needs a good set of wheels. Circa The Dark Knight, he drove a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 but that raging bull has since hit the wide open spaces of the retirement pasture. Mr. Wayne’s latest ride is apparently the very new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700. This news comes by way of some pics taken on the scene of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises that clearly show a Gotham-plated Aventador sitting rather close to the Wayne mansion. The original post on Luxury4Play’s forums has since been deleted but Autoblog snagged the pics before it disappeared. Trust fund superheros have all the fun. → Read More

Some very important Batman news for your Wednesday afternoon. It seems that Anne Hathaway, who showed actual acting chops in Rachel Getting Married, will play Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. Tom Hardy, one of the actors in director Kevin Nolan’s non-Batman movie, Inception, will also be in the movie, playing the role of Bane. And here I thought Bane was some jack-up, roided-out weirdo, whereas Hardy is rather normal-looking. → Read More
Is 3D already in trouble? Quite possibly, and there’s a few data points to back up that claim. As you know, Christopher Nolan has announced a few things pertaining to the next Batman movie, namely its name (the Dark Knight Rises), that The Riddler won’t be in it (much to fans’ chagrin), and that it won’t be filmed in 3D. I’m pretty sure the previous Batman movie, the Dark Knight, was a gigantic success, so to not film it in 3D is quite the snub. Sorry, 3D, but the prettiest girl at the dance wants nothing to do with you. (Stupid metaphors are stupid.) → Read More
Batman fans reacted with anger on Thursday upon learning that director Christopher Nolan has ruled out using The Riddle in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises. The movie, the third Batman under Nolan and currently scheduled to be released on July 20, 2012, will instead “introduce some new [characters]” as well as use some of the existing ones. → Read More
Comic-con starts today (I’ll be there tomorrow~!), so that means we’ll be seeing a bunch of comic book-related movie news coming at us in the next few hours. There’s already a few tasty bits of information out there. Like, will Killer Croc be the primary antagonist in the upcoming Batman movie? (The movie is set to be filmed in and around New Orleans.) Incidentally, Cros was probably my favorite villain in the old Batman cartoon. → Read More
This week’s episode of Speaking Of… is with the originator of the modern Batman movies and creator of the Batman franchise, Michael Uslan.
Michael Uslan’s story is the typical story of success. From the outside, it seems like an obvious win, but from the inside there was a long and painful struggle to get to the other side. It took Michael 10 years of pitching a dark and serious Batman in order to get it made into the first movie. It was written up as an “overnight success”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. → Read More
Some Batman news, if only because Batman is the best comic book superhero of all time. I will debate this all day if need be, Lord knows I have nothing else going on in my life. The news this morning is that the next Batman movie, tentatively called Batman 3 (but you know the final name will be something like Batman: Vengeance), will feature The Riddler as the main villain. → Read More

Yes, there will be another Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie. This should be good news since the first two movies were good, certainly watchable. But what about this scary prediction: the movie will be garbage, and there’s ample evidence to support this. → Read More

As a Batman super fan I’ve been keeping a watchful eye on the development of Batman: Arkham Asylum since it first leaked out last July. I like the direction that Batman has taken across his various media incarnations as of late. He’s a dark character with a dark past and the villains around him should be just as, if not, darker.
Late last night, GameTrailer got the scoop on the latest villain trailer for the game and it’s the Joker’s right-hand gal Harley Quinn. I won’t lie, she looks pretty sinister and somewhat arousing for a, you know, video game character. Check out her cart wheeling shenanigans after the jump. → Read More
