It’s still the weekend and there’s still no worthy news so here’s another cool fan trailer. It’s from the same guy who made The Incredible Hulk vs. Wolverine, but this time Batman faces off against Blade, defying not only studio rights but also comic book worlds.

When watching Batman ride through the streets of Gotham in The Dark Knight did you ever look at his suit and think to yourself “I want one”? Well now you can, as Warner Bros. have announced that an official Dark Knight motorcycle suit will be available to purchase in the near future!

From SHH:

Batman vs The Terminator

Some fanmade videos are crap, where as others are amazing. All I will say is watch this in HD!

Since Christian Bale is starring as John Connor in May, I figured I’d make an interesting cross-over between the Terminator franchise and Bale’s other blockbuster franchise, Batman. The Terminator vs Batman, who wins? This was a very difficult crossover to make so I hope you enjoy it.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Trailer

Warner Bros didn’t release a game to coincide with the release of The Dark Knight, which may have been a good move considering games based on movies tend to suck a little. However, we now have the trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum, which will no doubt furfil the needs of people who need a bit of Batman in their gaming lives. The game will be based on the 70-year Batman series as a whole rather than being tied to any particular adaptation.

Justice League Had A Batman Too

Does anyone remember the days when Justice League: Mortal was actually on the road to being made? Well director George Miller had the cheek to hire an actor to play Batman, who wasn’t Christian Bale. (This was before The Dark Knight was released and dominated the world, so I will let him off slightly). The actor goes by the name of Armie Hammer, and E! Online spoke to him about the (now deceased) movie.

Hammer still hopes the movie will get made, and he told E! that he and his castmates went through several months of intense physical training before production stopped:
“I would spend hours training with actual guns to prepare me for this stuff,” Hammer said. “It was very intense. Our workout regimens were so rigorous that most of us would vomit.”
He added, “We weren’t trying to get ourselves aesthetically good looking. We were trying to get ready for the demands of shooting.”
He also talked about being fitted for the Batman costume, making it sound like they were pretty far along in the preproduction on the movie:
He’s already been fitted for the superhero costume, which he says features functioning equipment, including trademark Batman weapons like spring-loaded titanium Bat-erangs. “I was looking down, and I was thinking, This is the best,” Hammer said off the first time he put on the entire ensemble. “Then I stood up, and they turned me around, and I faced a mirror—there was Batman. But then it hit me like a ton of bricks—it’s not just Batman, it’s me!”

After the success of The Dark Knight I don’t think I could accept anyone else playing Bruce Wayne within the next decade. Thankfully, the Justice League movie won’t be happening anytime soon so we don’t have anything to worry about.

I wonder if Armie saw The Dark Knight?

Coolness: Simpson-ized Superheroes

Ever wondered what an episode of The Simpsons would look like if Iron Man, Spider-Man and Batman dropped in for a visit? Well Springfield Punx have done the very cool thing of Simpson-izing a truckload of well known characters from movies, comic books, TV and games, so we don’t have to wonder any more.

You can see some of them below!

Joss Whedon On His Batman Movie That Never Was

Liam — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:43:16 +0000

With the recent release of The Dark Knight it is hard to think of anyone other than Christopher Nolan who could tackle Batman (even though they have in the past). However, there are a lot of what if’s in the superhero movie world. What if James Cameron directed Spider-Man? What if Warner Bros went with Tim Burton’s Superman?

The latest one to add to the ever growing list is: What if Joss Whedon directed Batman?

Whedon regaled MTV News with the details of his proposed plan to reboot the “Batman” film franchise before Director Christopher Nolan got the gig.
“Well, I actually did pitch a ‘Batman’ film when [Warner Bros. began developing "Batman Begins"], and it wasn’t what they did but the vibe was very similar,” said Whedon. “Mine was a bit less epic. It was more about the progression of him and it was more in Gotham City. He didn’t go to Tibet and meet cool people, but it was very similar in vibe [to Nolan's "Batman Begins"].”
After a little prodding, Whedon opened up a bit about his “Batman” idea, even going into detail about what villain he planned on using…or not using.
“In my version, there was actually a new [villain], it wasn’t one of the classics — which is probably why they didn’t use it,” he laughed. “It was more of a ‘Hannibal Lector’ type — he was somebody already in Arkham Asylum that Bruce went and sort of studied with. It was a whole thing — I get very emotional about it, I still love the story. Maybe I’ll get to do it as a comic one day [ed. note: HINT HINT, DC Comics... ].”

I am glad Warner Bros went with Christopher Nolan as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are amazing movies, however it is always interesting to consider what could have been if someone else was sat in the directors chair.

Quote Of The Day: Batman On Robin

“If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”

Coolness: The Dark Knight vs. Hellboy

Last week we got Batman vs. Batman vs. Batman and now we have Batman vs. Hellboy. I’m loving all of these trailer mash-ups, and long may fanboys with video editing software continue to make them!

Black20 have done it again. They usually create cool and funny trailers, such as Iron Ma’am and the PG 300 trailer. However, this time they have created something even more amazing.

Enjoy!
