Firefly Reveal Trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins

Check out the fiery and explosive new trailer for Batman Arkham Origins featuring the debut of the pyromaniac villain Firefly.

I'm starting to like the choices they used for the bosses for this video game. We have the obvious Deathstroke, Joker, Bane and the not so obvious ones like Black Mask, Copperhead and Firefly. The game comes out October 25, 2013.

Meanwhile, here's the video:

Bane Creator Graham Nolan Gives Character a New 52 Redesign

Bane is going through some wardrobe changes as we get closer to "Forever Evil". Here's our first look at the new design given to him by his co-creators Graham Nolan. 

Here's what Bob Harras has to say about this supposedly 'new' look for Bane...

"Arkham War is coming.

Spinning out of the events of FOREVER EVIL, FOREVER EVIL: ARKHAM WAR finds the inmates of both Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Prison unleashed upon a Batman-less Gotham City. But before you pick up that mini-series, you’ll want to read the Villains Month one-shots starring Scarecrow and Bane, which set the stage for this epic brawl.

Bane’s one-shot is not only the quintessential Bane story (mark my words!), but it also sees the return of the character’s co-creator, Graham Nolan! Above, check out Nolan’s new take on this classic Dark Knight villain, and brace yourself for a war that will change the way you see Gotham City forever." – Bob Harras

Clay Rodery and his Cool Looking Batman Project

Here's a cool animated project that's currently in the works from artist Clay Rodery featuring the characters from the Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. 

There's no other details or whether or not this is going to be a full-fledged fan-made animated feature but based on these gifs, it looks exciting. 

Check out more these after the cut...

I wonder what's Batman doing inside a catacomb? Then there's also Catwoman once again riding on the Batpod. 

Another interesting point here is the appearance of Jim Gordon plus The Joker who wears something really memorable. 

Then there's also other rogues like the Scarecrow from Batman Begins and Bane from TDKR

And finally, the girls will swoon over the special appearance of Joseph Gordon Levitt's John 'Robin' Blake.

TOM HARDY, FROM “DARK KNIGHT RISES” TO “LAWLESS”

Fresh from terrorizing Gotham City as the formidable villain Bane in the blockbuster “The Dark Knight Rises” last July, Tom Hardy is back on the big screen as a ruthless gangster in The Weinstein Company's epic thriller “Lawless.”

To be shown exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas (Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3 and Trinoma) starting Oct. 24, “Lawless” is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: three bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. Based on author Matt Bondurant’s fictionalized account of his family, The Wettest County in the World, the film gathers an ensemble of gifted, dynamic new-generation stars – LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke and Mia Wasikowska – alongside two of the finest actors of their generations, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman.

A riveting, intense story of crime and corruption, loyalty and love, brutality and tenderness, “Lawless” is a rich addition to the American gangster canon.

Shia LaBeouf had been looking for opportunities to work with acclaimed English actor Tom Hardy. The two had struck up a friendship after LaBeouf sent Hardy a fan email about his arresting performance in the crime biopic “Bronson,” and had begun forwarding scripts back and forth to one another. LaBeouf sent Bondurant’s novel The Wettest County in the World to Hardy, followed by Nick Cave’s screenplay for “Lawless.” Hardy loved them both, and proved to be ideal casting for the role of quiet, fearless and fearsome Forrest Bondurant.

Director John Hillcoat was also keen to work with Hardy, whose reputation as an exceptional talent preceded him. “I kept hearing about this incredible guy called Tom Hardy. I started watching his work, and I was awestruck - he was amazing. I could also see Tom and Shia as brothers. And Tom’s take on the character was quite audacious - he saw Forrest as the matriarch and the patriarch of the family, in the wake of their parents’ deaths. He wanted to explore Forrest’s softer side and play him in a quiet, contained way.”

Hillcoat adds, “By taking on the roles of the mother and the father of this family, he was really responsible and very caring, especially towards his brothers. But because of the time and the culture, he is unable to articulate it. Tom’s approach was very much about the different emotional textures there were to Forrest and how distilled and controlled he was. It was a unique and fascinating attitude towards the character.”

Tom Hardy has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors. He most recently appeared in Christopher Nolan’s critically hailed “Inception,” alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Ken Watanabe, Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page.

Hardy rejoined Nolan on “The Dark Knight Rises” where he played the villain role of Bane opposite Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman.

Other films include “Warrior,” opposite Joel Edgerton, the story of two estranged brothers facing the fight of a lifetime, an inspirational action drama from director Gavin O’Connor; also “This Means War,” and the Cold War thriller, “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” with Colin Firth and Gary Oldman.

DC Collectibles Immortalize Bane's Backbreaker in The Dark Knight Rises'

Remember that scene in The Dark Knight Rises where Bane injures Batman's vertebrae when executing a backbreaker beneath Lucius Fox's secret lab? Yeah I know it was short and sweet. This could be the reason why the folks at DC Collectibles bring us this awesome looking TDKR statue.

Did "The Dark Knight Rises" deliver what was hyped to be a good, solid and "realistic" Batman story from director Christopher Nolan? Read on to find out about all the good stuff from the film from Warner Bros.

Okay I'll try to avoid major spoilers as much as I can but to really produce a good review, one needs to often times touch the sacred "spoiler" grounds. But I'll tread carefully.

New FAN MADE The Dark Knight Rises Posters Prominently Feature the Bat

People are really starting to talk about Batman's new ride known as "the Bat" since the arrival of the new clip; I've held judgment on this ride but not that it gets prominently featured in this new batch of posters (UNOFFICIAL BY THE WAY AS WHAT MY FRIENDS FROM WARNER IS SAYING - READ FAN MADE), I'm definitely thinking that it was a cool trade off for those old Tumblers.

Here's the official synopsis for the upcoming film:
