Apparently I took the only decent photos of the Tumbler in Chicago because I’ve gotten quite a reaction. I made it to the home page of digg early Tuesday afternoon, my site went down for a while and of course, the thieves came out to play. Left and right people started snatching my pictures and Continue Reading »
Here are some pictures I managed to snap today. I have an excellent view of the set of The Dark Knight from my office. This first one is of the back of the Batsignal. Plastic protects it from evil. The Tumbler is parked inside of this parking garage. Here’s the Batsignal again… this time wit Continue Reading »
Speaking of Batman’s ride, it seems that he’ll be cruising on what they’re calling the Pod (I will be calling it the bPod), which is just a unique motorcycle. I’m really undecided on this thing… it looks pretty cool, but seeing Christian Bale’s stunt man zipping down the street with his cape flapping in the Continue Reading »
It’s no secret that The Dark Knight has been filming in chicago, I posted some photos of the Gotham National Bank a couple of months ago. Today I found out that the Batmobile was in town, so I grabbed a camera and headed to Randolph and Wells and there it was. Check out the photos Continue Reading »
Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert were made for each other. Although I wasn’t particularly thrilled with some of the story developments, I’m now over the whole “Batman has a kid” shock, and have moved past Bruce Wayne’s adoption of Tim. Issue #665, The Black Casebook, is setting up for what seems to be a very Continue Reading »
After Supergirl #16 I thought the tides were changing. I truly thought DC had turned this boat around and started making amends for bad writing with good writing. Obviously I was convinced too soon. While issue #17 was nowhere near as horrendous as previous issues, it still managed to be incredibly confusing. Last I knew, Continue Reading »
I don’t usually like reviewing a comic that’s been out for several weeks. I feel like I’m late to the party… as though I’ve delayed my article for so long that people just won’t care when it finally does show up. All Star Batman and Robin #5 doesn’t count though. I feel totally justified in Continue Reading »
After the events of Marvel’s Civil War, Tony Stark was appointed as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Initiative was implemented, meaning that each state has a super hero group assigned to protect it. Although I was extremely bored with Civil War, I’m really enjoying most of the Initiative titles. The Mighty Avengers, however is not Continue Reading »
Punisher War Journal is hands down one of my favorite comic books. Frank Castle (AKA The Punisher) is a sociopath and this comic does an excellent job showcasing his insanity. Of course you might call that insanity a mere skewed sense of justice… but when that skewed sense involves killing bad guys, that crosses the Continue Reading »
