Just a heads up to the folks out in the crowd that “The Dark Knight” is back in theaters starting yesterday. Heh. If you didn’t get a chance to see it in IMAX when it came out last year then now’s your chance. Don’t let it pass you by, again. → Read More
…the opening sequence might look something like the above video. It’s been on YouTube for almost four months now, but you know what they say: “Videos on YouTube get blogged about almost four months after they get uploaded.” → Read More
Continuing with the Batman-related good news, it looks like the upcoming game Batman: Arkham Asylum will actually be, dare I say, good. That a game based on a license doesn’t lick the bottom of the bucket of sucktitide (to paraphrase Christian from the WWE circa 2001) is shocking in and of itself, but that, according to Edge, it even has a chance of becoming an “excellent one.” Surely Hell is freezing over right about now. Anyhow, Edge has a quick little preview of the game, done in the inimitable Edge style, that should reassure any fears of yours about the game being any good. It should be out by next summer. → Read More
As if there were any doubts, The Dark Knight is now the fastest selling Blu-ray disc in history. Warner Bros. sold some 600,000 copies of the movie on its first day of availability (Tuesday, Dec. 9), surpassing the previous record, Iron Man, by about 100,000 copies. A clever little analogy: The Dark Knight : Blu-ray :: Gladiator : DVD. Meaning, that The Dark Knight will be looked upon as the Blu-ray disc that propelled the format into the mainstream, or as mainstream as it’ll get, as Gladiator did eight years ago. The movie is selling so well that there are projections that put it at 1 million sold by the weekend. To put this into perspective, even I bought it, and I don’t buy anything these days, as most of you are well aware. → Read More
CNET is reporting that the sun will rise tomorrow. That is, they’re reporting, citing TorrentFreak’s data, that The Dark Knight is well on its way to becoming the most pirated movie of all time. Of course, more people have access to broadband now, and the proliferation of well-seeded BitTorrent sites means it takes zero effort to download it—no waiting in an IRC queue these days—so the claim (“most downloaded ever!”) is hollow. → Read More
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

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 you. The game will be developed by Rocksteady Studios (official launch in two days) and an original script will be written by Batman writer Paul Dini. It’s going to be awesome. → Read More
