Neil Gaiman; Make Good Art


Batman of the Deep ?



“It looks like a bat, more like the shape of the batman symbol, the tail kind of curves around with the wings,” Dr. Kim Juniper said. “We’ve been consulting experts for a year and a half and no one’s quite sure what it is.”

Before They Were Movies....




 Both DC Comics and Marvel would have you think that big-budget, blockbuster films like Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern and The Avengers are their only attempts to bring popular comic book characters into the live-action arena. They would like everyone to forget the sometimes absurd, ridiculous and often ugly reality: that there were numerous early - and failed - attempts to bring super heroes to both the big and small screens.

Some Cool Art

NOTE, this is an actual painting...not a picture of a comic book! COOL!

Calvin & Hobbes & Batman?


So the Dark Knight stopped by and told me what he thought of the blog. See his reaction below.

"THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" Set Visit, Part 1

BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM - BOF's "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" Set Visit, Part 1 (5.27.12)
A very cool acount of a couple days on the set of TDKR by JETT from Batman-on-film

 As you�ll read in the Tom Hardy interview, Hardy -- who plays Bane in RISES -- was the only member of �The Big 3� (Bale, Hathaway, Hardy) working that day. So after the field was blown up, we got to witness a rather cool scene involving Hardy�s Bane being filmed. I�m not going to spoil anything here, but I will say it involved Bane and his mercs entering the stadium post-destruction with a hostage and, apparently, some sort of weapon of mass destruction. Bane then addressed the crowd where -- as you�ll read about in more detail in the Emma Thomas interview -- he tells Gotham of his plan. 

Christian Bale Doesn't Rule Out a Fourth Batman ?

Warning: Potential spoilers for The Dark Knight Rises.
"My understanding is that this is the last one. I think it's appropriate, I think it's going out at the right time. But...if Chris came to me with a script and said, 'You know what? There is another story' then I would love the challenge of making a fourth one work," he said.

The Bat-Phone?

The packaging of the device might be different from the standard Lumia 900, though. Last year, Nokia produced a limited amount of promo Batman-themed Lumia 800s, which came in a special black box with a Batman logo.
