Heath Ledger to Appear in Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises

I loved the fact that Christoper Nolan gave Cillian Murphy a cameo as the Scarecrow in The Dark Knight. I'd love to see more cameo's in the Batman movie series. Maybe even from a villain we haven't seen before like the Riddler, but I've also thought, wouldn't it be cool if the Joker had a cameo? Well, that may just be happening.

According to Showbiz Spy Christopher Nolan is planning on using unseen footage of Heath Ledger's Oscar winning performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

"Chris wants some continuity between movies and for the franchise to pay tribute to Heath and his portrayal of the Joker."

What do you think about this news? Should the Joker have a cameo in the new Batman movie? Or should Christoper Nolan leave well enough alone?

The Dark Knight rises is pre-production and has release date of July 20, 2012.

My Super Hero Themed 40th Birthday Party.



Hero cake with Batman, Spiderman & Superman cupcakes

 I have been meaning to post pictures from my 40th birthday party and have finally got to it. Thanks to my wonderful non-geek, but super cool wife for putting the party all together. The cool thing is it was a comic book super hero themed birthday costume party.

My wife and I were the The Green Hornet and Kato. I figured if Seth Rogen can be The Green Hornet so could I. I do have a replica of the mask Van Williams wore on the Green Hornet TV series, but the one I wore was the Green Hornet costume that came out this year to promote the new movie.

I have always had an interest in Cosplay (check out Derf's Domain, he interviews the most popular Cosplayer's in the business) but have never really pursued my interest in that. I do believe I have really picked up the bug for that and will be looking into putting together some cool costumes. The party was a great way to experience it first hand.




Green Hornet, Wolverine, and SG

 I was really pleased how the party turned out and for everyone really getting into it. I can't believe I didn't think of doing this before. I think I need to be doing  this every year from now one. Check out the pics below for the great time had by all.

 Isn't dressing up as your favorite comic book characters the best. Aside form collecting comic books and related toys of course.

Will Batman Go the Way of Wonder Woman and The Hulk?

With both The Hulk and Wonder Woman having TV pilots in the works, what will happen to The Dark Knight after the upcoming third Batman film? The next Batman movie: The Dark Knight Rises will undoubtedly be the last film in the series that Christopher Nolan will direct. This will probably also mean that Christian Bale will hang up the cowl as well.  So what will become of The Caped Crusader after 2012?

Rumor has it hat Warner Bros. wants to bring Batman back to the small screen just as Smallville is coming to a close and a new Superman film is in the works with Christopher Nolan producing. It's interesting to see things come full circle in a way. Originally, the producers of Smallville wanted to do Gotham and do a story about a young Bruce Wayne.  The story was changed to base the story on a young Clark Kent after Warner Bros wanted to re-boot the Batman film series. Holy flip flops!

Word is Karl Urban is being looked at to play Bruce Wayne. I thought Urban was great as Dr. McCoy in the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek film, but I am not sure I am sold on this. I think this is more like a case of "Dammit, Jim. I am a doctor, not crime fighter."

What do you think of Batman continuing as a TV series rather than a movie series? 

At Last! The Green Lantern Movie Trailer

The brightest day...The blackest night. It will be a while before the we see even a teaser trailer for the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises", but the Green Lantern trailer, which will frontline Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, is out.

It's great to see the the Emerald Guardian is coming to the big screen, but will it be as good as the Batman or Iron Man films have been. Time will tell.



How do you think the new Green Lantern movie will do?

Vicki Vale? Catwoman? Talia al Ghul? What Female Leads Are Being Cast in The Dark Knight Rises?

Deadline has reported that Christopher Nolan is going to meet with six actresses for either a role as a villain or as a love interest for Batman (Christian Bale). The six actresses being considered for roles are: Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway, and Keira Knightly. It is unknown which actress is being considered as either a villain or a love interest.

Here's what I think about these lovely ladies.

Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz has been rumored to be playing Catwoman before. I personally think she would be a great Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman could possibly play Talia, but she's going to be in Thor next year. Nolan may not want to bring her into the DC Universe since she is going to be in the Marvel realm first. However, this wouln't be the first time an actor or actress has starred in both Marvel and DC comic movies.

Naomi Watts

I could see her as either Catwoman or Vicki Vale.

Blake Lively

Another possible Thalia, but starring in another Warner Bros/DC Comic Franchise...Green Lantern. Chances are Warner Brothers isn't going to let it happen.

Anne Hathway

I seem to keep steering towards Thalia as the villain, but I don't really see Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.

Keira Knightley

Since Natalie Portman is being considered for a possible villain role maybe she'll play Talia's decoy. Sort of like Ken Watanabe to Liam Nissan's Ra's al Ghul. Hell it worked on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

So, it's seems our theory Marion Cotillard of playing Catwoman is probably not going to happen. It will be interesting which direction Nolan will go with these roles. Since Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts are about the same age, I think that Nolan is considering them for the same part. Likewise with the other four.

What do think? Think any of these ladies could handle The Dark Knight ?

What Would Batman Look Like if Picasso Painted Him?

This re-interpretation of The Dark Knight is from Mike and Matt from Wonder Bros. They sell this look at Batman along with several other Super Heroes over at Etsy. They come in both prints and postcards. Take a look. It could make someone a nice Christmas present.
