Oh Bruce, you smexy beast

Smexy beast

I wonder, does the Dark Knight win the prize for the most teaser websites, hoaxes and gimmicks? Seriously how many have there been? Why So Serious?, The Ha Ha Ha Times, The Joker Travel Agency, I Believe in Harvey Dent… They’re all very clever and manipulative in fleshing out the fictional characters within the social and political climate of the real world. And let’s not overlook the smex factor in bringing the hot back in milk. ;) Yeah I’m as good as infatuated. All this because of a certain Mr. Bale… Well, no, that’s not entirely true—Batman is probably my favourite comic, out of all comics. It’s dark (well that was a given) and grisly and depressing, but there’s an incredible power to the series which lights up like a beacon, and I find that very appealing.

Can’t wait for Batman: Gotham Knight, which is a direct-to-DVD animated feature of six short films, that acts as a prelude to The Dark Knight. Directed by some relatively big names in Japanese animation, including Yasuhiro Aoki and Toshiyuki Kubooka, it’s very much in the essence of The Animatrix, which I love so much. It comes out on my birthday in America, but we get it 6 days earlier, how awesome is that! It’s also showing at Kino Dendy as part of the Madman ReelAnime line-up between July 3 – 16. ZOMG. Exciting!

P.S. Saw Indy Jones 4

One for die-hard fans, and newcomers, but not in between! Actually, die-hard fans will probably loathe this, so keep well away if you want to preserve your love for all that is Indy and true.
