Batman Villains In The Style of 1940′s Mugshots

|

Fast payday loans For Every One

This is a small series of Batman villains as they might have appeared in 1940′s mugshots, all digitally painted by Canadian artist Jason Mark. I swear, people were such sharp dressers back in the day. Like, guys didn’t leave the house without a suit on. Now? Now it’s all sweat pants and athletic shorts. I miss the 40′s. “You weren’t alive.” I told you, I’m a centuries old wizard. The chubby dumb blogger thing is just to throw off the Illuminati so they don’t try to harvest me for my powers. I’ve lost a lot of sorcerer friends that way.

Hit the jump for John Doe (The Joker), The Penguin, and Mr. Freeze.

Utility Belt Not Big Enough?: A Leather Batman Backpack

|

Author:

UD Replicas, who have made a name for themselves creating motorcycle leathers that look like superhero costumes (plus storm troopers), is now taking pre-orders for this $ 300 Batman backpack to go along with their matching Batman outfit. Sure you could buy it without already owning the rest of the leathers, but it just won’t have the same effect. The effect with the whole getup? “Holy shit, we just got passed by f***ing Batman!” The effect just wearing the backpack? “Um….was that a goth ninja turtle riding a motorcycle?”

Hit the jump for a bunch more shots, none of which actually show what the backpack looks like worn over a t-shirt.

I Call The Batarang: 3-Foot LEGO Batman Minifig Cake

|

Author: Nancy Kennedy

This is a 3-foot tall LEGO Batman minifig cake made by Mike McCary of Mike’s Amazing Cakes. It’s impressively accurate. I’m not sure if it’s a birthday cake or a wedding cake, so I guess it’ll just have to be a secret. Speaking of — you know what Catwoman told me Batman’s biggest secret is? That Robin is the top in their relationship. I still can’t even believe it.

Thanks to Wes, who asked for a LEGO Lord of the Rings cake for his birthday but got a crappy sheet cake from the grocery store with his name spelled wrong instead. It’s only three letters!

Not Bad: Batman Replacing Characters In Other Movies

Author: jos

I don’t normally post things like this, but it’s Thursday, the internet is dryer than one of those animal skulls you see in the desert, and it actually isn’t that bad. This is a short from video makers PistolShrimp of Batman replacing other characters in famous movies. It’s worth a watch. Of course if you hate it don’t blame me because I don’t choose what gets posted here, the cat that meows outside my window at night tells me what to do. Except last night he wouldn’t stop talking about f***ing Friends reruns so I went out there and banged on a trashcan with a stick until he ran away.

Hit the jump for the video.

Greg Capullo artwork

DC Comics’ Death of the Family has been one of the best-received Batman series in recent memory, not least because of Greg Capullo’s fantastic art work. The Made By ABVH Tumblr has shared some expertly-animated GIFs based on a selection of illustrations from the series by Capullo and Patrick Gleason.

As the files are quite large, we’ll hold off sharing more GIFs, but you can find the full collection in the source link below.

Dammit Robin, No, I’m Not Going To Read You Another Bedtime Story: Batman Symbol Wall Bookshelves

|

Author:

These are a pair of Batman symbol wall bookshelves crafted by Etsy Seller Fahmi Sani of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He was selling them in his shop a week ago for around $ 285, but he got such a response that he’s pulled them from his store while he fulfills his current orders. And you know what that means! “It’s time to jump on Etsy and start sell our own really shitty version ASAP.” You know it! You get started on the Etsy shop, I’ll be in the garage chopping all my fingers off with a jigsaw.

Highly Questionable: Fan Morphs All Batman Actor’s Faces Together To Create The ‘Perfect’ Face Of Batman

|

Author: Matthew Wilson

This is the hybrid face shot Redditor morphinapg made by morphing the faces of Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale together to create the “perfect” face of Batman. You may have noticed I put perfect in quotation marks. That’s because it looks like Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho if Patrick Bateman had realized the whole serial killer thing wasn’t for him and settled down and got married and had some kids and got depressed. Still, he REALLY wants to stab whoever’s holding the camera. Also, my perfect Batman would have way poutier lips.

Thanks to wilmersama, who is literally like, THE perfect wilmersama. I wouldn’t change a thing, seriously.

DELUXE EDITION: $800 Illuminated Batman Chess Set

|

Author: Matthew Baker

This is an $ 800 Batman chess set from The Noble Collection. That’s a lot of money to spend on a game you’re not even good at. But it does light up and project a Bat-Signal onto the ceiling, so, you know, totally worth it. I’LL GIVE YOU $ 1,200 — FINAL OFFER.

A press of the Batman symbol illuminates 50 LED lights encircling the clear playing surface that lights the board, the Gotham cityscape underneath and projects a Bat-Signal to the sky. No detail has been overlooked in this ultimate Batman collector’s chess set. The joker, Catwoman, Riddler and penguin battle Batman, Robin, Batgirl and commissioner Gordon. The oversized board measures 20 inches in length on each side. Playing pieces measure between 2 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches tall and are made in fine pewter and diecast metal.

Ground Shipping Only

Did you read that? Ground shipping only! Don’t you think it’s a little ironic that there’s a Batman chess set THAT’S AFRAID TO FLY? “That’s not ironic at all.” This man says I’m an idiot, moving on.

Thanks to Cindy, who actually asked me what the little horsey pieces in a chess set are called. Haha, are you serious? They’re called Pony Boys.

Christopher Nolan discusses the challenge of bringing Batman to life

|

Author: Matthew Wilson

batman

Earlier this week, Christopher Nolan sat down with film critic Scott Foundas and talked Batman. A transcript of the interview has now been published by Foundas at Film Comment, and it makes for an illuminating read. Nolan discusses his reasons for shooting the trilogy, his philosophy in approaching the characters, and the importance of theatricality in film. Nolan’s hesitance to rely on CGI in his films is well-documented, but The Dark Knight Rises bucked that trend somewhat, featuring an increased amount of computer-generated effects. The filmmaker notes that TDKR only contains “about a third or a quarter the number of CG shots of any other film on that scale,” and explains how he physically combines the effects with the film to achieve…
