Batman XXX: The Trailer

Batman XXX: The Trailer

When we last left our caped crusaders, they were merely static stalwarts. Trapped in the second dimension, against ghastly typography, word balloons, and credits! But then, in the nick of time, Dale DaBone, err… Batman used his Bat-Trailer Transmogrification Ray to transfer his two-dimensional troop of titillating players from poster to full motion trailer. For those of you not in-the-know, we’re talking about Batman:XXX, A Porn Parody. Flying atomic batteries at full power, this “Vivid Video takes the campy Adam West styled Batman universe and give all of nerds a little chance to see just how much in the tights was the man, and how much was… bat-padding. The costumes are amazingly well done, and we dare you not to marvel at the acting skill that dare we say…. out West’s Adam West! That’s right folks. Same Bat-Porn, new Bat-Porn-Channel. Enjoy the clip below.

And to our utter horror… Alfred IS in the movie. And if you’ve never heard of Hitchcock’s rule of showing a loaded gun on screen (as in… a loaded gun shown is a loaded gun fired before the credits roll…)… Holy Eye-Wash Batman!

Adam West faces his own economic lone justice

Adam West faces his own economic lone justice

Okay, let’s say you were a costumed crimefighter, and you financed your crusade through your own personal fortune.

And then, for the sake of argument, you ran out of cash because of a nasty economic downturn, couldn’t pay the upkeep on all those wonderful toys.

Sounds like a great idea for a story, right? You could do an entire graphic novel about it, and chronicle the struggles as you struggle to make ends meet while still fighting the good fight against the forces of evil.

Or you could just sell everything off…

SDCC: ‘The Brave and the Bold’ Trailer

SDCC: ‘The Brave and the Bold’ Trailer

Warner Bros. wasn’t all about Watchmen at San Diego on Friday. They also showed off the trailer to the upcoming The Brave and the Bold animated series.

It’s a pretty funky cartoon, from appearances, with a score that harks back to the Adam West days. Watch it below.

Random Video: 1960s Batman Does ‘The Dark Knight’

Random Video: 1960s Batman Does ‘The Dark Knight’

When I posted a link to a recent interview with Adam West on the current Batman film franchise, I had no idea that it would generate such a polarized discussion of the campy 1960s series that made West a household name among comics fans.

In the interest of meeting both sides somewhere in the middle, I hereby submit the following video — featuring a mash-up of the trailer for the upcoming Dark Knight film with clips from the ’60s-era Batman television series.

Can’t we all just get along?

 

 

‘The Dark Knight’ Viral Marketing Prizes Revealed

‘The Dark Knight’ Viral Marketing Prizes Revealed

Yesterday’s news about the latest viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight had fans running to mysterious locations. For what? Money? A party? Adam West trying to fit in the Batsuit?

We guessed it had something to do with bowling from the clues in the message, and it turns out we were right. We should get a cookie… or a batsuit. Nevertheless, the lucky people who figured that out first and arrived at the locations teased in the campaign received something even better: a bowling bag. Inside the bag was a Joker-themed bowling ball with a number on it, and an evidence bag with a cell phone inside it. When winners called the number, a creepy voice let them know "we know who you are now." *shiver*

G4TV’s Attack of the Show managed to get one of the prizes and made a video about it. See for yourself what you would’ve gotten if you had pressed "turbo" on the Batmobile a little earlier.

 

Oh, and ComicMix reader Russ Rodgers alerted us to another viral marketing website for The Dark Knight, Acme Security Systems. Sure, it looks pretty legit — but they protect against Fear Toxin?

LEGO Batman – New Trailer and Release Date

LEGO Batman – New Trailer and Release Date

Batman hasn’t been this silly since Adam West.

LEGO Batman is the latest installment of developer Traveler’s Tales’ best-selling, LEGO-licensed videogames. Previous projects included a pair of games in which players could recreate LEGO versions of the Star Wars franchise.

Now, with LEGO Batman, adorable versions of the dynamic duo smash massive amounts of the toy bricks while capturing villains let loose in the LEGO version of Gotham City. The first screenshots debuted in Electronic Gaming Montly magazine in February but now a trailer of the game in action has been released, which we’ve posted here.

It’s a better antidote for grim and gritty then Joker’s laughing gas.

 

 

Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has announced that LEGO Batman will be released in September 2008 for all current game systems.
