Is this how Dark Knight Rises ended?

http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/12/5/toy-explains-how-batman-escaped-the-explosion-in-tdkr.html

 One of the big questions about the ending of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises is… How in the hell did Batman escape being killed by that massive explosion over the water at the end of the movie?! Well, there's a toy for that!

Tokyo Toy Guy

...it has some of the most amazing, and super-rare, museum-quality stuff that you will probably ONLY see in this film.

Canadian Military Action Figures!!

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2011/12/29/ns-action-figures-canadian-military.html

Nova Scotia man is one of three partners behind new action figures sporting Canadian military uniforms that they're trying to get on the market.
Although the figures may not become as popular as G.I. Joe, the first-ever Canadian military action figures are starting to sell quickly in Nova Scotia.
"Once they're all sold and $6,000 goes to the soldiers' fund, then we'd love to expand into different areas, maybe [add] more to the line, a female character. We have some ideas," Sperry said.
The action figures are only available in four locations in Nova Scotia — two in the Truro area, one in Dartmouth and another in Bridgewater. They're also availabe in select locations in Ontario.

Product Spotlight: Dc Super Heroes: the Ultimate Pop-Up Book!

You can purchase this book online at Amazon.com

About this Book: Critically acclaimed pop-up engineer Matthew Reinhart celebrates the history, heroes, and villains of the DC Universe in this ultimate 3-D masterpiece! Bursting with over 25 impressive pop-ups, this deluxe format features a variety of unique novelty elements-including a light-up Bat-Signal, a cosmic Justice League of America battle scene, a twirling Lasso of Truth, and a transparent Invisible Jet!

Starring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and many more favorite DC characters, this momentous pop-up exploration releases just in time for DC Comics' 75th anniversary. With vibrant illustrations, exciting facts, and an eye-catching design, this is an absolute must-have for DC Super Hero fans of all ages!

Our Take: I'm a fan of Batman books in general.  Its an aspect of my collection that I enjoy focusing on.  One thing I don't have is a really nice pop-up book, so be still my heart when I get this bad boy in the mail.  To call this a pop-up book is really a disservice.  This book is absolutely amazing.  You can get an idea from the images, its dynamic, detailed and really quite fantastic!  I cannot say enough good things about this one.  Its great for collectors and children alike.  I highly recommend it.

9 Old School Batman Vehicles That Rocked

Check out the original link above......

We decided to revisit the classic 1960s Batman TV show and pick out some of the coolest crime fighting and villainous vehicles we could find.
So here’s our rundown of the 9 most coolest classic batman vehicles. If we’ve missed out your favorite let us know in the comments!

#9. Parachute Pickup Service Van

After fans wrote into the show complaining about Batman’s complete disregard for littering the streets with used Batmobile parachutes, the show equipped Alfred with a Batmobile Parachute Pickup Service Van to go and retrieve the chutes from the street.

#8. Catwoman’s Kitty Car

Catwoman’s Kitty Car (or Cat-illac as it was also known) was first used to ‘kidnap’ The Joker as he left Jail, and came complete with whiskers and a tail. Powered by a Corvair engine and with fully independent air/oil suspension, this hand-built beauty also featured an electric opening hood, doors, and roof.

#7. The Batcycle

The Batcycle was Batman’s backup mode of transport should the Batmobile be in need of a service. Amazingly the Batcycle also included a handy sidecar for Robin that could detach itself and become a fully independent mode of transport. The original Batcycle was a 1959 Harley Davidson with side car.

#6. The Penguin’s Solid Gold Tank

In the episode “Penguin’s Disastrous End”, The Penguin built himself a tank out of solid gold which he used to leave a trail of destruction across Gotham City. He also ran right over Chief O’Hara’s squad car crushing flat.

#5. The Batcopter

The dynamic duo rounded off their crime fighter stable by adding a Helicopter to the growing arsenal which included the Batmobile, Batcycle, Batboat, and now the Batcopter. The Batcopter was real helicopter based on the Bell 47 design, which first appeared along with the Batboat and Batcycle in the 1966 movie.

#4. The Joker Mobile

The Joker-Mobile appeared in the episode The Joker’s Last Laugh” and was a custom build of the Mongrel T that was used in Elvis Presley’s movie “Easy Come Easy Go”.

#3. The Batboat

First seen in the 1966 Batman movie, the Batboat enabled Batman and Robin to quickly navigate the seas armed to the teeth as they avoided exploding sharks in pursuit of The Penguin’s submarine.

#2. The Penguin’s Submarine

In the 1966 Batman full length movie, the Riddler, Penguin, Joker and Catwoman all club together to buy a pre-atomic submarine. After fitting the sub with flippers the super villains got ot work shooting torpedoes and Polaris missiles at anyone in their way.

#1. The Batmobile

Well it was always gonna be number one on the list wasn’t it? This iconic 1966 Batmobile was built exclusively for the TV show, and built from a $250,000 1955 Ford Lincoln concept car.

The Bat-Sentry

This is one of the greatest things I seen.

A custom made Batman Transformer. A cross between the forever-cool Batmobile of the early 1940's and a Transformer, the Bat-Sentry robots appeared in the alternate future of DC's Kingdom Come.  Jin Saotome made the above custom Bat-Sentry for Wizard Magazine a few years back.

Check out this link here to see how Jin went about creating it!!! Very Cool.
