Spoilertrooper: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman Costume is Pretty Cute

I rarely ever post set spy photos or spoilers, but I found this to be pretty bad ass and I couldn’t help myself. It’s been over a month since ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ started production and it is good to finally get a glimpse of what Anne Hathaway looks like in the Catwoman costume. So far, we have seen couple images, but we never got to check out the full costume. Well, now we do and I have to say that I like it a lot. Everything from the cat ears to masks looks pretty damn awesome. The only thing missing would have to be the whip and tail. Maybe we’ll see the whip in the movie, but I think a tail would be just too much for Christopher Nolan. Also, I have to say that the costume seems a bit “thick” on Anne Hathaway. I would have to think that it is probably body armor similar to the bat suit. Whatever it may be, I am looking forward to the movie when it opens next year!

I do have to admit that I find the costume to be more “cute” than “sexy”. Catwoman is suppose to be sexy right? At least thats what I understand after reading “The New 52″ Catwoman issue #1. /shrug

Batman Can Now Punch Criminals in the Face and Make Ice Cubes (Kinda…)!

13 September 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Epic Collectibles!, I Heart Toys

Kotobukiya must have a good grasp on what geeks want and they delivered again with this cool Batman silicon tray. Last year, Kotobukiya released a pair of awesome Star Wars silicon trays so it makes sense that they would do this for some of their other licenses. I’m just glad it’s Batman.

Kotobukiya created a pop culture phenomenon this year with the Star Wars silicone trays featuring R2-D2 and Han Solo in Carbonite, and now that innovative kitchen product is joining forces with the iconic superheroes of the DC Comics universe! Out of the shadows of Gotham City comes the Batman Logo Silicone Tray! This sturdy tray lets you capture jelly, ice, chocolate, or cupcakes in the classic bat symbol shape of the Batman logo, perfect for making a treat for your family or spicing up a DC themed party. Great for baking and freezing, Bruce Wayne’s call sign is durable, heat and cold resistant, and oven and microwave safe. Each yellow tray has molds for four large Batman logos and three small ones, and it comes packaged in a vinyl poly bag with unique art. Use it along with the Superman logo silicone tray (sold separately) to add a “Brave and Bold” combination to meals and treats!

Considering Kotobukiya has been known for years for their incredible model kits and PVC statues, I find it odd to see them move into kitchen wares so much in the last two years, but I guess with cool stuff like this (and most likely Superman, yadda, yadda, yadda) coming out, I can’t really complain.

The Batman silicon ice tray will hit the streets in April 2012 and most likely will go for $9.99. They aren’t available yet, but expect your favorite online retailer to start taking preorders at the end of the month/October.

Collector’s Tip: There’s another Batman ice tray out on the market, but I recommend that you get Kotobukiya’s version. The other one isn’t as good and overpriced.

Apparently, Complaining About “The New 52″ Will Get You Excited About “The New 52″. Go Figure.

…Aquaman is suddenly cool?!

Have you seen that promo spot for “The New 52″ from DC Comics and Warner Bros. promoting the reboot? Well, I have and they are a bit boring if I say so myself. Well, now thanks to Patrick Willems (@pwillems), we kind of get a good idea of what is going on with “The New 52″ with a little rage in this fan-made commercial. I do understand that it’s kind of mocking the new changes that is happening in the DC universe, but it kind of had the opposite effect on me. Now, I’m a bit excited about the reboot and can’t wait to see what happens (again?). Fans make the best shit.

OMGWTFBBQ!: So, This Guy Got a Tattoo of Bane From ‘The Dark Knight Rises’…

30 August 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Agents of G.E.E.K., OMGWTFBBQ!

banetattoo

Wow. Seriously… WOW! Remember that scene from ‘Fanboys’ where the pimp shows off his tattoo of Jar Jar Binks doing a gangsta pose with young Anakin all based on the hype of ‘The Phantom Menace’. Well, I guess this kind of shit actually happens in real life. Some Bane lovin’ bastard decided to get a large tattoo on his bicep of Bane from Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ played by Tom Hardy. I mean, come on! The internet has in buzzin’ over how weird the whole concept of Bane’s odd headpiece is. Even though we would trust our first born child to Christopher Nolan, the Bane costume was hard to swallow. Well I guess this guy was going to jump and gun and get this done regardless whether Bane turns out to be trash or not. I can’t decide if this is fake or not, but if it’s real, I applaud you for you balls and ask that you seek some help.

Geek Decore: Straight From the “Church of Batman”

29 August 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Epic Collectibles!, Eye Candy, Geek Chic, I Heart Toys

What if… What if there is a church that worships the heroes of comic books? I can tell you that I would go ever damn Sunday and never miss a single mass. At the moment, there is not “Church of the Bat” or “Church of X”, but we might just have an idea of what it might be like inside such a church. Etsy seller, FayProduction offers a very cool decal print of various characters from Batman and X-Men designed to imitate stained glass. You can get some of these magnificent prints and stick it on your window to make instant stained glass murals. I think my favorite of the bunch has to be Alfred. I would love to attend the “Church of Pennyworth”. You can pick up these cool prints at FayProduction’s Etsy store!

Illustrations: Drew Struzan Inspired ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Poster Art by Alexander Stojanov

25 August 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Eye Candy

Sometimes, the fans are better at making movie posters than the studios. Not saying that the posters for ‘The Dark Knight’ weren’t brilliant, but I find these fan-made movie posters by Bulgarian artist, Alexander Stojanov to be divine! Inspired by Drew Struzan’s poster for ‘Blade Runner’ (who also made posters for ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘Back to the Future’ and ‘Star Wars’), Alexander put together three amazing illustrations for ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Dark Knight’, and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ using Painter X and Photoshop. These would be pretty bad ass to see hanging in a theatre. Awesome job Alexander!

Oddities: Batman Gets His Ass Handed to Him on the Vegas Strip

13 May 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: OMGWTFBBQ!, Watch It!

batmanbeatdown

I don’t condone violence unless it’s against Ewoks, but this is one of those odd instances where you just have watch it over and over again. A bit familiar to “Zangief Kid”, a street performer in Las Vegas dressed as Batman gets into a violent altercation with a tourist. From the looks of it, the tourist pushed Batman’s chest a bit harder than Batman preferred. Unfortunately, this isn’t the comics or the movies and Batman gets beaten down by the tourist. If punching wasn’t enough, Batman gets finished off with a wrestling suplex. The fight ends when they hear police sirens coming. What’s really sad is that a crowd formed and no one decided the help break the fight up and they only kinda stepped in when it got out of hand. Oh well… People are stupid… especially when they are in Las Vegas and drunk. I hope the police arrested both of them.

Hit the jump to check out the “Batman Beatdown” video and remix. Yes, there is a remix.
