A wise man once said that anything could be fixed with a roll of duct tape and 6-pack of beer. Well, I added the last part but the first thing about the duct tape is more than true. In fact, duct tape aficionados can now hone their craft by making a Batman mask mostly out of the silver tape. Just don’t wear it out in public; you will look like a douche. → Read More
The regular Blu-ray edition of The Dark Knight is selling for $25 while the LE is fetching a hefty $65, but it does get you that badass Bat Pod. TheHDRoom via Giz → Read More
Variety is reporting that Dick Grayson aka Robin will soon land on the CW in the same vein as “Smallville” with most of the producers from the Superman show and McG on board. A pilot has been ordered says insiders at the CW. The show dubbed “The Graysons” will take place in modern times following young Dick “DJ” Grayson through the trials and tribulations of being a teen before… → Read More
Warner Bros. have their eyes set on swooping up some Oscars this year with the “Dark Knight”, so they’ve announced that Christopher Nolan’s epic sequel in the Dark Knight series will return to IMAX theaters in January to remind voters of how awesome the movie was. There was no mention of re-releasing the film in regular theaters, though. Of course, WB just wants to… → Read More
That’s not to say he won’t be cast in the role, but here’s to hoping they haven’t locked him down, which means David Tennant still has a chance and Guy Pearce as the Riddler seems interesting. Host: Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler. Depp: Oh yeah I heard about that. Not that I know of. → Read More
We have been following LEGO Batman closely and Warner just revealed to us the latest character. Alfred Pennyworth is joining Batman as a skilled sidekick. Kind of looks like Oddjob though… Screenshots after the break → Read More
That’s right. Christopher Nolan wants 62-year-old Cher to play Catwoman in “The Caped Crusader”, which begins filming in Vancouver next year. I really wish they would recast for the Riddler. I like Johnny Depp, but I think David Tennant would be so much better. Also worth noting is this blurb from a studio exec. “Cher is Nolan’s first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to… → Read More
Psych! These are just renderings from Aussie artist Josh McMahon, but wouldn’t it be awesome if they were real? Not a big fan of seeing another Catwoman anytime soon, but I’m down with Harley Quinn aka Dr. Harleen Quinzel. And like io9, I’d much rather see David Tennant aka Dr. Who as the Riddler than Johnny Depp. What say ye, dear reader? → Read More
Batgirl (!!!) is going to be around to help Batman and Robin catch all the baddies in Batman LEGO. Powers and Abilities: In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Batgirl has the ability to utilize Batman’s technology suits including the Glide suit, Heat Protection Suit, Sonic Suit and Demolition suit in her efforts to fight crime alongside the DYNAMIC DUO.

Would you like to see the first screenshots of that there Batman game that made Peter all wide-eyed and excited like the cartoon character he is? Yes, yes you would. Considering the last decent Batman game was Batman Returns for the SNES, it’s pretty much guaranteed that this will sell well. via ComputerAndVideoGames.com → Read More
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet. Today, WB and Eidos announced Batman: Arkham Asylum for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. We sort of already knew there was one coming thanks to Gary Oldman, but now it’s official. Based on the “Dark Knight” storyline, based on conjecture, you will assume the role of Batman and you’re task is to deliver the Joker into the Narrows where the imprisoned swine have set a trap for… → Read More
A man by the name of Bob Dullam has created a complete replica of the Tumbler from The Dark Knight. The guy built the entire thing in his garage for the cool sum of $50-70,000. So, a handy guy with money. Rare as hen’s teeth. Just one week till the movie comes out here in Barcelona. There better not be lines. Oh, as long as we’re gushing over Batman again, you might enjoy this video… → Read More
This Dark Knight edition Xbox 360 was spotted in Taiwan. Microsoft is said to have produced only a handful of these, so don’t expect to be able to walk into your local Best Buy any time soon. → Read More

The San Diego Comic Book Convention is going on right now, and one of the bigger games that’s debuting there is DC Universe Online, an action MMO developed by Sony Online Entertainment, the same group that brought us the ultimately underwhelming Star Wars Galaxies. I read a rather lengthy preview of the game in this month’s Edge magazine, and SOE hired some comic book expert to make… → Read More
DarkKnightGear continues with a deep, almost philosophical look at the tech behind the new Batsuit that has Batfans-a-talking. (God, could I sound anymore like Variety?) Christopher Nolan, the film’s director, told the Los Angeles Times that it doesn’t make any sense for a superhero to be running around in a heavy, non-breathing latex that restricts one’s movements. This time… → Read More
Popular Mechanics has about 20 seconds of non-trailer footage of The Dark Knight wherein the director, Christopher Nolan, explains his decision to film certain parts of the movie using IMAX cameras. Of course, the video itself isn’t embedable, but a quick trip to YouTube fixed that problem. Thanks, Popular Mechanics! Possibly even better, the second, most recent trailer in Lego form. → Read More
Here’s some footage from the LEGO Batman game that’s set to hit various platforms in September. You can play as the good guys or the bad guys. Speaking of bad guys, Killer Moth and Mad Hatter were recently revealed to be part of the game. Never heard of them, but I did have a killer moth destroy a pair of my corduroy pants a few years ago, so I’m guessing the Batman version is at least… → Read More
Because we failed to hold on our moratorium I’m offering one Verizon Nokia 6205 BATMANG! phone to the lucky commenter who can really curse out the iPhone in comment. Please use as much vitriol as possible and include your email address. We’ll pick one winner at random at noon on Saturday. UPDATE – The winner is Greatslack. You guys got really mean. Wow. → Read More
Nokia sent me this clever package with a BATMANG! themed 6205 flip phone on Verizon. Not much to say except BATMANG! Extra credit – Figure out which comedian did the original “BATMANG!” bit back in 1990 or whenever the first Batman came out. I remember seeing it on Comedy Central way back when and can’t for the life of me remember it. → Read More
Flickr’d So this is sorta surprising. Despite how seemingly popular the Batman movies have been, that awful one starring George Clooney notwithstanding, they don’t seem to make all that much money. Adjusted for inflation, the first movie is still box office king with $436.4 million at the box office. Batman Begins pulled in $226.3 million. The worst, of course, was that Clooney… → Read More
Has anyone else tried purchasing tickets for the midnight showing? I just tried and Fandango is a dirty, filthy liar. The midnight showing at the IMAX here in NYC was lit up all red like tickets were available, but it really wasn’t. I want to cry now. You suck, Fandango. → Read More

For whatever reason, we’ve been following The Dark Knight like it’s our job, posting the latest trailers and gossiping like a bunch of hens. So imagine our delight when we read the first published review of the latest Batman movie in Rolling Stone, a publication that’s usually too cool for the room for us to care about. Surprise, surprise, though: they liked it! Like, 3.5 out of… → Read More
All credit unto Gizmodo for spotting this tragic ad. In anticipation of the new Batman movie, which does, in fact, look pretty good (and I hate stupid action/adventure movies), there’s a cute “fake” Web site for Gotham Cable News, presumably the fictional city’s source of fair and balanced news. And wouldn’t you know it, Comcast is Gotham’s cable provider! Quick… → Read More
A Dark Knight edition of the Nokia 6205 will be released this Sunday, June 15. You’ll only be able to grab it from verizonwireless.com. Being that it’s a mass market movie tie-in, don’t expect too many high-end features; it’s more or less an entry-level cell. Like, when the camera is a whopping 1.3 megapixels, you should know exactly what type of phone this is. → Read More
Don’t get me wrong; I like Batman. I think he’s a cool guy. I don’t think he gets nearly the credit he deserves, being that he has no actual superpowers other than a love of gadgets and cars that run on jet fuel. And he’s the perfect guy to own a bat-shaped MP3 player because, hey, pretty much everything he owns is bat-shaped or has some sort of bat logo. It’s a… → Read More
http://progressive.playstream.com/playstream/progressive/flashplayers/FLVPlayer.swf OK, this actually looks great. I’m not normally a fan of the Lego games — not because they’re not good, I just don’t get into them — but this makes me want to play. Hardcore. → Read More
If anyone is old enough to remember when Adam West was Batman then you surely remember the red Batphone. I know it seems like it’s Dark Knight trailer day at CrunchGear, but I figured you’d have more fun watching videos than looking at pictures.
