By now you’veall seen the official imageofAnne Hathawayas Selina Kyle inThe Dark Knight Rises. And while speculation has run rampant that it might not be her full costume, here’s a clue that backs up that argument. Above is one of Hathaway’s stand-ins holding some sort of cat mask. Very curious, don’t you think? Thanks toEyePrime(viaMovieweb). There’s much more Batman below.
ThatCatwomanmakes also an appearance over onGeeks of Doomwho took at look at the new image of Selina Kyle and gone into detail with analysis. Head over there to read their thoughts on all of it.
And,Batman Newshas this nugget in their announcement ofCatwoman. Very interesting:
Anne Hathawaycan be seen wearing some high-tech glasses, but I’m told that shewillbe wearing a cowl/mask at some point in the movie.
We’ve all seen the above image fromMan of Steelas of now but, /Film reader Remco J. thinks he sees something else in it. Look at his above illustration for what he believes is a reference toThe Dark Knight Rises. It’s a stretch, for sure, but anything is possible and it could be a reason why Superman is so small in this image.
Samuel L. Jacksonwas talking tothe BBC(viaSuperhero Hype) aboutThe Avengersand what he had to say was actually pretty cool, for him at least:
Nick Fury continues:
We’re all really good friends. It’s kind of funny to stand around in a room and see everybody. Thor is standing there in his costume. Captain America. Sometime’s he’s dressed and sometimes he’s not. Scarlett [Johansson] is there as Black Widow. Robert Downey is there. He very seldom has his Iron Man costume on when he’s just hanging around with his buds. It’s just amazing to look around the room and see all of those guys there and go, ‘Okay. This is cool.’
ArtistMarko Manevhas created a very cool series of Marvel inspired minimalist posters. That’s obviously Daredevil above. But over onGeek Tyrant(via theBehance Network) he’s got a ton more, both ofThe Avengers, andother Marvel characterslike Spidey, Wolverine and the Fantastic Four.
In an interview withNylon Magazine(viaComic Book Movie) the beautifulHayley Atwellspoke about some very sexual joking on the set ofCaptain America: The First Avenger? All I can say is: we’re waiting, Dominic:
We got up to a lot of mischief on set. There was a lot of waiting around, so he’d get out his iPhone and make videos of the characters when they think they’re not being watched. Like [my character] Peggy Carter giving Captain America a blow job in the cock pit of the plane. I spoke to Dominic yesterday and he threatened to put the video on YouTube once the movie comes out.
This is the cover ofAlan Moore Storyteller(obviously), a new book that spans the career of one of the most revered and mysterious comic book writers of all time,Alan Moore, creator ofThe League of Extraordinary Gentleman, V for Vendettaand, of course,Watchmen. Thanks toBoing Boingfor the heads up.
What Culturewildly speculated over actors who could playDoctor Strangein the currently-in-development project andnow their wishlist of directorsis equally as ambitious.Tim Burton? Guillermo Del Toro?Still, they make compelling arguments.

Williams-Sonomais known for high end cooking stuff and now they’re going Marvel. They’re released several types of bakeware – cookie cutters, cake pans and more. Head over totheir site to order, but thanks toForever Geek.
Here’s some more discussion of theMan of Steeloutfit. Just as I said in our post yesterday, it has a very scaly look. Head over toMTV Splash Pagefor even more detailed analysis.
In addition to Supes above, with the newCatwomansuit also just revealed,MTV Splash Pagehas offered up their analysis on that as well. Click the link to get comments like this:
While there might not be cat ears, the costume does make use of goggles, like most recent depictions of the character. Catwoman goggles it up in both the regular DC comic books as well as in her appearances in video games like “Batman: Arkham Asylum” and “Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe”.
In the past week or so we’ve seen a ton of photos from thisDark Knight RisesCity Hall location Pittsburgh. We’ve seenBanefightingBatman, we’ve seenCatwomandriving down the stairs and now,Comic Book Moviehas compiled a whole bunch of additional photos, videos and more basically laying out the entire scene. I’m not going to spoil it here, instead I’ve just posted the above video as a tease and – if you want more spoiled – including photos of extras, Bruce’s Lamborghini, a Gotham football jersey and much more, head over toCBM.
Even with saying that above, I couldn’t help but run this awesome photo ofThe Dark Knightbeing shot by his cinematographerWally Pfister. This link toMovieWeb(ViaEyeprime) has even MOREDark Knight Risesset photos. Less spoilerly than the ones linked above.
WhenBatmanis in town, things get real.The Hollywood Reportersays that Pittsburgh 911 operators were on high alert recently to expect emergency calls whenThe Dark Knight Risesshot a bunch of gun fight scenes.
Here’s a fan trailer forSuperman ReturnscalledSuperman Restored, which incorporates some of the new footage that has recently made it online from the deleted opening and more. It lacks the pacing of a real Hollywood trailer, but looks great. Thanks toITHoTMKProductionsfor the work.

How’d you like to go to the prom in this ride? Thanks toThe Clearly Dope(viaNerd Approved) for the image.
Quint over onAin’t It Cool Newshas a great interview withAndrew Garfieldat Comic-Con in which he talks about the responsibility of playingThe Amazing Spider-Man, some new twists on the personality in this movie and more. It’s a great read. Here’s a snippet from Garfield:
I realized just how much responsibility I was taking on for you, for your buddies, for everyone who’s going to be in Hall H today and for me, the 7 year old inside of me. It’s a lot of pressure, but it’s the same kind of pressure Peter Parker feels. He feels the weight of the city on his shoulders. He knows he’s the only one with the power that’s able to really fully protect these people. He feels like he’s their father, ultimately.
Star TrekandDC Comicsrarely get mentioned in the same breath, butAlexander The Greatwas ahead of its time. The failed 1964 TV pilot starred Captain Kirk and Batman,William ShatnerandAdam West, and you may see a clip above thanks to theHero Complex. Talk about good casting on bad TV.
Here’s the poster forWith Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, an upcoming documentary. Thanks toIMP Posters.
