‘BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT’ ANNOUNCED. Spandex Stiffy.
The next Bat-Guy game has been released, and glory be the Masterminds behind the first two titles have returned. Rocksteady Games will be rocking (ha! fuck me and my shit puns!) out on Batman: Arkham Knight.

JESSE EISENBERG is LEX LUTHOR in ‘BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN.’ Plus Jeremy Irons as Alfred.
Jesse Eisenberg is going to be playing Lex Luthor in the Man of Steel sequel. This is sort of neat because casting that dude significantly calms down any sort of interest I had in the project and Universe. Temper my expectations. Can’t stand the guy. Strikes me as pretentious. Whatever. And this news is particularly hilarious since he shat on big budget tent pole movies a couple of years ago.
Oh! And Jeremy Irons.
Stunning BATMAN GRAFFITI found in abandoned building. Exploring++
This is gnarly. A redditor and his girlfriend from Belgium thought they were just going to do some run-of-the-mill urban exploring. You know, finding their way into some abandoned building. Cut themselves. Get tetanus. Probably die. However, they did one better than dying from a rusty spoon in some burned down shack. The couple stumbled across some gorgeous Batman graffiti.
RAFAEL GRAMPA’S rendition of THE JOKER is the NIGHTMARE WE DESERVE
Fuck to the yes. Rafael Grampa is a general beast in the comic book world, and his rendition of the Joker does nothing to dissuade me of that fact. Grampa’s rendition of the Joker can be seen in this week’s Batman Black and White #2, which features a short story by the creator.
Hit the jump for a delectable sneak peak.
BEN AFFLECK signed on for MULTIPLE FILMS as BATMAN; will help ‘CREATE’ his rendition.
In the completely unsurprising department: Benny Affleck has signed his life away for multiple flicks, agreeing to play The Cowl’d One until roughly 2032. That’s just part and parcel when it comes to joining a superhero franchise these days. Last time I checked, Chris Evans’ had leased away his sperm’s rights to play Steve Rogers should he suffer a sudden end.
There is more, though. Affleck has agreed to help create his rendition of the Batman.
Grant Morrison says Alan Moore KILLED THE JOKER in ‘The Killing Joke.’
I’ve always sort of interpreted the ending to The Killing Joke as The Bats finally killing the Joker. So I’m going to double-down on my belief, supported by the Wizard Mind of the Intergalactic Shaman of Comics.
Rumor: BALE offered $50-60 MILLION to once again BE THE GODDAMN BATMAN
With WB having essentially nothing memorable to hang their cock upon in the comic book movie universe, this report doesn’t surprise me in the least. You may turn your nose up at the implausibility of the price, but RDJ got offered a fucking King’s Ransom to return to Avengers 2 and 3, and they have a thriving MCU.
Frank Miller’s cover for ‘DARK KNIGHT RETURNS’ #2 sells for DAMN NEAR $500,000
Zack Snyder’s BEST BRO FRANK MILLER may be eating burgers with him and chatting about whatever the next glob of goo Snyder is going to squat out next. However whilst that is going on, Miller’s second cover for Dark Guy Beats Superman I Get It, I Get It is selling for a lot of goddamn money. A lot.
SEAN MURPHY draws WOLVERINE, BATMAN, PUNISHER…TOM WAITS. So tasty.
I fell in love with with Sean Murphy during his reign of awesome on Joe the Barbarian with Grant Morrison. Since that I haven’t really followed him. This makes me an idiot, I know. In case I wasn’t aware of that, Murphy has hung a few amazing pictures of commissions that he has done on the Internet’s ass. To remind everyone that if they’re not down with him, they eat dog food.
“NO DUH” DEPARTMENT: Christian Bale says he AIN’T playing Batman in ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ flick.
Can you believe this shit? I mean — I’m shocked. Christian Bale says he isn’t playing Batman in the Justice League flick. But, I mean…the press surrounding TDKR where Nolan and Bale both repeatedly confirmed they were done with Batman…sort of left me thinking they may (totally not be) back.
