Our friend Chris Franchi recently submitted this amazing artwork for a Bat-Blog Exclusive Wallpaper. This dark image of Gotham City's #1 Hero is really great for a background.

So far, it's looking pretty cool! Oh yeah, as a side-note I should say that I made this image a "DARK KNIGHT RISES" Wallpaper Background, so please use it to brighten your desktop!
Awhile back, at the CTRL+ALT_DEL webcomic website, they did a totally hilarious parody of Batman. It looks like he finally had an "accident" with his batarang, ha ha! Be sure to click on it for a larger version, check it out!
Actor Gary Oldman (Commissioner Jim Gordon) chats to Adrian Hieatt from Absolute Radio about the upcoming Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises". Gary reveals everything he's allowed to say so far about the top-secret script, how Director Christopher Nolan manages to keep things secret, and working with Tom Hardy ( Bane, the Villain ).
The amazing artwork you're enjoying right here was totally stolen from an Artist's website that I respect, ha! The Art Site is called MISTERHIPP and basically it's the visual diary of a cool Graphic Artist named Dan Hipp. He does a lot of work with Graphic Novels. His artwork has appeared in DC Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Tokyopop, and Del Rey Books.So, what do you think about his work? Pretty cool, huh!
According to an Exclusive story at Variety, Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt's will play Alberto Falcone, son of Mafia chieftain Carmine Falcone ( A.K.A. The Holiday Killer ), who Tom Wilkinson played in “Batman Begins,” insiders tell Variety's Jeff Sneider. The younger Falcone would bring Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy full-circle, and fits with the director's stated intentions for continuity and “realistic” villains. For the full-story, click HERE! THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is scheduled to open July 20th, 2012.
In this MTV Interview Video Clip Gary Oldman ( Commissioner Jim Gordon ) talks a little bit about the next Batman movie, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES! Of course he is sworn to secrecy & we don't get too much information, but at least he's talking about it, ha!
This cool video features a recent interview that appeared on Britsh TV. It's the Actor Tom Hardy sort of talking about BANE, the Villain he will play in the next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. He also talks a lot about Director Christopher Nolan.
One of my favorite things about the internet is getting to meet new people from all around the world. It's so cool how you can just spark a casual conversation with somebody, anywhere! Like here, I recently met this guy named Grant Hunter. He's an Artist & Illustrator living in Newcastle, Australia. His artwork is really great! It looks sort of child-like and very abstract. It's also slightly Gothic looking too. Well, I'm sorry, it's really kind of hard for me to describe but if you look at it you'll get the idea. It's some very cool stuff!! Shown here are 2 recent Batman Drawing he has done. Also, if you wanna see more than just click HERE!
OK, it's official, Warner Bros just announced that Actress Anne Hathaway will play the role of Selina Kyle in the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, and we all know that this person is also Catwoman! They also revealed the Villain character that Actor Tom Hardy will be... it's Bane! Oh man, so many people thought he was going to be Dr. Hugo Strange, ha ha! OK, I'm thinking these are pretty good choices and, just like the last movie, I'm going to trust the Director, Christopher Nolan. I mean, when he announced before the last film that Heath Ledger was going to be the Joker I was sort of skeptical, ha!
To celebrate Warner Bros' excellent choice of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle ( Catwoman ) in the next BATMAN movie, "The Dark Knight Rises", I decided to make this Cat-Tribute Wallpaper. OK, it does look kinda cheesy but I promise to make another one that's better... for now, you'll have to use your imagination.MEOW!
As reported from The ONION NEWS Network here is an important story about Kim Jong Il, the leader of North Korea. Apparently he really really wants to play Batman in the next BATMAN Movie. So much so that he's will to give-up his Nuclear Program to get the role.
Oh yeah! I saw this on the internet the other night & knew it had to be shared, because it's pretty freakin' cool! This is a custom designed BATMAN Coffee Table. It features the BAT-SYMBOL LOGO on both sides. It also looks like it is made from concrete or stone granite but I don't think it is. I think it's just painted to look that way, to be sort of "Industrial". In other words, I bet it's not as heavy as it looks, ha! So, have you seen any Batman-inspired furniture or interior design lately? Maybe you have done some cool decorating? Well, either way please shoot us an email & let us know about it.
In the world of serious Toy Collecting there's a small niche of Collectors known as "Bootleggers". They are people who mainly collect knock-off bootleg toys. These toys usually come from China, Hong Kong, & other places, but Mexico is one of the most popular. Here are 2 examples of "Mexican Bootleg": The 1st one totally cracks me up. It's a vinyl figure of both Batman ( sort of a "Dark Knight movie" version ) and Homer Simpson from the Simpsons TV Show cartoon... hilarious! I mean, if you're ripping off one company's trademark then why not do two, ha! Then, there are these 2 Egg-Shaped Bendy Figures of Superman & Batman... crazy! I actually really like this Batman Toy, it looks cool. Now, I gotta ask, do YOU have any weird Bootleg Batman items in your collection? If so, then please send us some pics, thanks.
It's finally been revealed! The next BATMAN movie ( Sequel to The Dark Knight & movie #3 in the trilogy ) will be titled "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES". The Director Christopher Nolan was recently interviewed by the Los Angeles Times' HERO COMPLEX and besides getting the title to the next film we also got a little more information about the villain. Well, sort of. Christopher Nolan is extremely secretive about who the next villain will be but he did give a hint that it will NOT be the Riddler. He even confirmed that there will also be NO Mr. Freeze. As you can imagine this is driving everybody crazy & many are speculating either Hugo Strange or maybe the Black Mask. Another bit of news, good news I think, is that the next movie will not be filmed in 3D. So, who do YOU think will be the next villain? Please leave a comment here, or on our Facebook page, & let us know who you want to see.
