The Dark Knight Rises Trailer, As Performed by the Cast of Batman: The Animated Series [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:43 pm, May 16th

A new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises came out recently, and that means someone did a thing with it! In this case, another go-round matching scenes with Batman: The Animated Series. I’ll tell you guys something: While I am excited about The Dark Knight Rises and like Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy, I’m the one third of the staff at The Mary Sue who is not a die-hard Batfan. So, I was surprised to see that Bane has a side job as a luchador. But this animated trailer is a pretty great edit, and I’d totally watch this movie, too. Especially if it had a luchador in it.

To read less infuriating things about Bane, here is Susana’s essay at Geekosystem about him. More comic book passion, less Mexican wrestling.

More Details About Robot Chicken‘s DC Comics Special, Including Cast Members!

by Jamie Frevele | 11:09 am, April 27th

Back in October, at New York Comic Con, the creators of Adult Swim‘s Robot Chicken announced that they’d be doing a special centered solely on the DC universe. But at that point, there wasn’t much for them to show us, aside from all the sketches they’d already done with DC characters. Now, however, is a different story, because they have announced a cast of pretty amazing people to provide voice talent. We also know it will be coming this fall, probably just in time to promote at the next NYCC. Seriously, even this Marvel girl is psyched for this.

Batman Is Roaming Toronto Again and Looking For Smoothies (and Yelling) [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:45 pm, March 6th

A couple of weeks ago, Batman was spotted wandering around Toronto, yelling at random people, and the internet loved it. Well, he has returned, and he appears to have some time to kill. Smoothies to buy, games to play, and more people at whom to shout. Special thanks to Sean Ward, producer and director of both Batman videos, for the tip!

Judge: Custom Batmobiles Are Subject to Copyright

by Jamie Frevele | 2:06 pm, February 1st

A judge in California has ruled that custom Batmobiles, like the ones made by Gotham Garage owner Mark Towles and owned by toddler pop music sensation Justin Bieber, are subject to copyright law because cars, apparently, do not fall under the “useful articles” exception. I have no idea what this really means for people who spend their money on Batmobiles, but if it means trouble for Justin Bieber, then that is more fun for everyone.

Holy Double Dark Knight Rises Trailer Parodies, Batman! [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 3:29 pm, December 23rd

Oh, have we got a riddle for you. It’s something you haven’t seen, but at the same, you’ve seen it already. If you’re thinking it’s a possible clue into whether or not Joseph Gordon-Levitt might be, say, the Riddler … you are wrong. You are incredibly wrong. We still have no idea what the deal with that is. What we do know is that people make wonderful parodies of things, and that includes the trailer to The Dark Knight Rises. Above, the sweded version. After the jump, the cat version.

Batman Flashes Commissioner Gordon in Batman: Year One [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:44 pm, October 12th

This clip from Batman: Year One is entitled “Playboy,” but I’m going to call it “Flash Gordon.” Because, well, in his attempt to throw then-Lt. Gordon off his suspicions by acting like a scuzzy d-bag, Bruce Wayne … well, you’ll see. We’re not going to just put it on display for you.

Jurassic Park Shot With Tiny Plastic Dinosaurs: A Jurassic Park Retrospective

by Susana Polo | 5:56 pm, August 23rd

Raptor from Tal Moskovich on Vimeo.

Susana in 1993: Man, Grant sure showed that stupid kid that doesn’t like dinosaurs that he should like dinosaurs because dinosaurs are awesome! What was that kid’s problem, anyway?

Susana in 2011: Man, Grant was a dick.

Of course, Dan Telfer has his own valid points about Jurassic Park.
