The Great Geek Dark Knight Rises Project
All hail Ben “kinjamin” Deguzman as the greatest Batman dream artist ever!
According to his Deviantart page, it sounds like kinjamin is just having his own bit of fun designing characters and plots to follow up on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. John Blake as Batman, of course, but he’s got a ton more. I’ve included them after the jump, including a take on Robin and an ingenious take on Huntress that I can’t believe never occurred to me. Kinjamin makes sure all of his ideas fit with established movie continuity, and it’s just very cool. I love that kind of fan fiction creativity. And the fact that he took it a million steps further with this awesome art is just beyond brilliant.
Join me after the jump for Robin, Huntress, Harley Quinn, Batgirl and a new Two-Face. He’s also promised more images to come someday!
Deathstroke Joins Injustice: Gods Among Us
But still no sign of Robin.
I’m gonna bring this up everybody they introduce a new character to the lineup of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Why isn’t Robin in this game yet? Batman vs. Robin would be the ultimate fight! Do they simply not want to have to create a smaller male body model in the game? Is it laziness? Yeah, it’s probably laziness. Lazy bastards.
Still, Deathstroke could be fun. He’s got a lot of weapons. And I’m surprised at how many bullets to the face Green Arrow can take. That guy is a trooper.
Could Joseph Gordon-Levitt Play Batman in the Justice League Movie?
UPDATE: This rumor has been denied by Gordon-Levitt’s people. Darn you, Hollywood agents, couldn’t you just let us believe a little bit longer? Even still, the fact that this would be an awesome casting choice is still cool.
The rumor around today is that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to play Batman in the upcoming Justice League movie. The news is courtesy of Hit Flix, and really is just an unsubstantiated rumor at this point. No official word from either Gordon-Levitt or Warner Bros. And I usually hate publishing this kind of Hollywood casting rumor, but it’s a slow news day, and I think this would be awesome.
Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. But then I’m still not convinced that a Justice League movie will be released in 2015.
This guy, this is the guy
I’m not going to play it safe with The Dark Knight Rises. There will be SPOILERS in this article, but I’m just going to assume that anybody who reads this geektacular blog has probably seen The Dark Knight Rises. But if, for some reason, you’re still waiting for the DVD release next week, then turn away now!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/24/12
Holy mackerel, it’s a big week in comic books for me! I know I buy a lot of comics each week, but for some reason, a veritable ton of books were waiting for me in the comic shop. I’m lucky I managed to get through them all! I may have to start bleeding over some titles into the week after if I get anymore weeks like this. I’m only one man, after all. So what do we have in store for us this week? A nice smattering of DC and Marvel, with a few new Marvel NOW! starts, including The Indestructible Hulk, the title I was most looking forward to. Did it live up to the hype? Maybe. How about the big Amazing Spider-Man surprise? That definitely lived up to the hype.
But surprise, surprise, the Comic Book of the Week turned out to be Captain Marvel #7! I’m glad to see that title finally carrying its weight.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/10/12
Marvel NOW! is in full effect with this week’s books, and we get our first looks at the new Iron Man and Deadpool. Sad to say, I wasn’t terribly impressed. Marvel has a big opportunity on their hands with this relaunch. But I have yet to see that potential really come to fruition just yet. Hopefully some of the other upcoming series can really wow me. But at least there are plenty of other good comics still plugging along. I think AvX: Consequences once again seals the Comic of the Week for me. Too bad it’s the final issue of that mini-series.
While a certain Merc with a Mouth earned ‘worst comic’ honors
Weekly Reviews: AvX: Consequences #5, Deadpool #1, Green Lantern #14, Iron Man #1, and Uncanny X-Force #33.
