In 1995, McDonald's released these four glasses to tie-in with the release of Batman Forever. I had only picked up The Riddler during the original release of the glasses. Don't remember why. I guess I ate healthier then and didn't go to Mcdonald's every week. Even to get all these glasses.
The Riddler
Two-Face
Batman
Robin
The other three glasses Batman, Robin, and Two Face, were given to me by a friend, who just so happened to have the 3 remaining glasses I needed. Check out the commercial featuring Batman and The Riddler. Did anyone else know these glasses were made in the Batcave?
There was also a hero sandwich served at McDonald's for a limited time to promote the movie as well. The sandwich had three beef patties, American and Monterrey Jack cheeses, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, and mayo. Man, it's making me hungry. Check out the promo below featuring Batman and Batmobile.
Rumors surrounding The Dark Rises like Heath Ledger appearing in Batman 3 are going around everywhere. Most recently news leaked that Batman will encounter a villain that learns his true identity, sounds like Professor Hugo Strange to me, and that Commissioner Gordon is ordered to arrest Batman. The good news is these rumors are all true, but may not be exactly true for The Dark Knight Rises.
This seemingly logical plot description is actually for the video game Batman: Arkham City. Sounds like it could be the plot of the next Batman movie couldn't it? After all, The Dark Knight ended with Batman on the run from the police, who believe him responsible for murders that were committed by Two-Face.
So the rumors could be true, but the only things that have been confirmed about the movie so far are the title, that The Joker and Two-Face are out, and Tom Hardy has a role. I am sure we will learn more by the time filming begins next April or the very least on July 20, 2012.
Are you excited about the next Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises?
We had discussed previously the appearance of Heath Ledger's Joker in Batman 3: The Dark Knight rises and it turns out it was just a rumor. Christopher Nolan has confirmed that Heath Ledger will not have a cameo in the latest Batman film.
shoot down reports that he'll resurrect The Joker by including unused footage of Heath Ledger's performance in the previous chapter. "That's all wrong," said the writer-director, who's also producing the next Superman movie, for Zack Snyder to direct.
On a similar note, the rumor of Aaron Eckhart appearing in The Dark Knight Rises is also a rumor.
"Chris and I had a meeting, on the beach, just the two of us...I said, 'Chris, a lot of people are asking me if I'm in the next Batman. And Chris said, "Yes? I said, 'Am I?' He looked at me and he said, 'No.'
You can hear Aaron Eckhart confirm no Two-Face in The Dark Knight Rises HERE.
So, what do you think? Are you disappointed The Joker will not be back even in a cameo? Wouldn't it make sense since Two face is dead that it wouldn't make sense that he returned anyway. Let us hear your thoughts.
If your one of those who can't get enough of Mattel's Mego style Retro-Action DC Super Heroes, Help is here!
Here is another look at the First and Second waves of Mattel's new Super Hero action figure line with photos from ToyArk.com.
I just think these guys are the best thing since sliced bread. It's like Mego is still in business and producing these figures. Almost like they made production changes and finally expanded the line.
The Green Arrowhas already been released. The first wave is coming in April and will consist of:
Superman Lex Luthor Green Lantern Sinestro
The second wave will include:
RC Batman Two-Face Aquaman Black Manta
Who will the third wave consist of? The Flash, Robin, Captain Cold? More, more, more.
The remaining four Super Heroes from wave one-Superman, Green Lantern, Lex Luthor, and Sinestro haven't even been released yet (Coming to a Toys R US near you this Spring) and I have been dying to see what was in store for the second wave of DC Retro-Action Super Heroes action figures to be released.
Green Arrow was released exclusively at MattyCollector.com (you can check out mine here) with the other four coming around Easter.
The 2010 Toy Fair has revealed the next four figures for the second wave. Drum roll please...
The next four figures in the line will be:
Removable Cowl Batman Two-Face Aquaman Black Manta
Check them out in all their deliciousness below with pics from ToyNewsI.com
These Mego style action figure look fantastic. I can hardly wait to get my hands on them.
