This is a really cool project. Australia based artist Josip Kelava took a group of his favorite heroes and villains from the worlds of comics, video games and movies, and put together a series of eight, minimalist yet striking prints, mixing these characters with iconic typography.

The images grab you by the eyeyballs and don’t let go – check out the full selection of images in the gallery below, and for some awesome process images, check out the source link – Josip did some amazing work here.

LEGO BATMAN 2 – Arriving This Summer!

Welp, this is going to be awesome. The absolutely fun and sublime Lego Batman video game is going to be getting a sequel this summer (just in time for The Dark Knight Rises), and it looks like Travelers’ Tales is going to step their game up.

For the forthcoming Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, the game takes a note from the new sets from Lego and adds Superman, Wonder Woman and more of the DC Universe to the next block-styled Dark Knight adventure.

No word on all the heroes we’ll be seeing in the game, but we’ll be seeing it on almost every system ever – the PC, 360, PS3, DS, 3DS, Wii and PS Vita.

Time to blow more stuff up for block pieces.

I think I’ve found the books which I would want to ruin my future children’s minds with.

Well, provided they ever actually existed.

Mixing the whimsical style of the classic Dr. Seuss with everyone’s favorite Dark Knight, deviantART users DrFaustusAU really outdoes himself with some amazing pieces.

If you dig what you see here, be sure to check out his full DeviantArt page, with Seuss-esq takes on Masters of the Universe, Doctor Who and yes, CTHULU!

Every Bat Suit Ever, In ONE Infographic!

Click to Enlarge!

 

Here at blast-o-rama, we LOVE the Batman (as you’ll especially be seeing today). And really, is there any better way to share love and dedication to a character than by an over-obsessive infographic?  Well, ScreenRant.com certainly thought so!

Complied by Ben Moore, the graphic above complies literally every single Batman costume variant over the years. Relive literally decades of Bat costuming in one image, and remember your favorites. Personally, I’ve always loved the 80s-90s Modern Era Batman costume the most, but perhaps your favorite is different.

…you’d be wrong, but yeah, perhaps yours is different.

Hell And Yes. DARK KNIGHT RISES Trailer #2

I know, I know. You probably have already watched it a billion times, but now that a full, official trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is here, I HAD to post about it.

So, as you rewatch it, here are some fun things I’ve noticed in my rewatches for you to note this time.

  • I love Selena Kyle’s speech to Bruce – the idea of Catwoman as a “99%”er is a unique spin, and really should add some real life fuel to the fire, similar to Joker’s terrorism acts in The Dark Knight.
  • That crowd scene in the football stadium? Yeah, I’m in there somewhere. Perhaps multiple times, with the CG doubling.  Last August, myself and some friends of mine headed to Pittsburgh to be extras, during a long, hot brutal day. But hey, we got to be in the final Christopher Nolan Batman film. How cool is that?
  • Are those Martha Wayne’s pearls that Selena is trying on?
  • Is Bruce walking with a cane in there? Why would he need it?
  • To hush down the internet – yes, the Rogues sign in the crowd has a Robin-styled R. Fans made that sign. Their easter egg. Not Nolan’s.
  • How cool, and powerful is it, that this is the final Batman film and the trailer barely involves him? Says something about the scope here.
  • Finally, HOW AWESOME IS THE BAT HOVERCRAFT THING OR WHATEVER. OH MY GOD.

Yeah. Watch it again. And again. And again.

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20th, 2012.

DARK KNIGHT’s Operation Early Bird Brings Forth T-Shirts!

Ok, if people like myself who aren’t in easy driving distance from a proper IMAX theater weren’t bothered enough that we probably won’t get to see the official prologue for The Dark Knight Rises until the film properly is released in July, those who participated in the “Operation: Early Bird” game also got free swag.

What kind of swag, you ask? How about AWESOME TEE SHIRTS.

There were two designs, both grimy, both graphically arresting.

You had, first, the Batman “LEGEND” design…

and then, hold onto your butts…the Bane “END” design.

Cool, eh? Now to see how much cash they go for on eBay. Personally, I still have my I Believe In Harvey Dent tee from The Dark Knight, and I wouldn’t sell that for the world.

Brian K. Vaughan Returns To Comics, With SAGA!

Filed Under: comics by Marty Day — 1 Comment
December 14, 2011

One of my favorite writers in all of comics has to be Brian K. Vaughan.

He first grabbed my interest with the amazing, cult classic Marvel book Runaways, about a group of superpowered teens who discovered their parents were all super villains.  Since then, he blew us all away with the fantastic DC/Vertigo book Y: The Last Man, the tale of Yorick, the man left as the last male alive after a bizarre virus hits Earth, and then he went on to greener pastures (i.e. writing a few seasons of Lost and working on some film projects).

It seemed Vaughan was never to write comics again, but then at San Diego Comic Con this past Summer, he arose with a new title to share with us – it will hit shelves this March for Image Comics, and is called simply Saga.

Described as a mixture of Star Wars and Game of Thrones, if fans like myself weren’t already sold, the simple elevator pitch would be sure to have us.  Brian sat down with awesome comics site Comic Book Resources to discuss the title, and after reading their piece, I cannot wait for the first 44 page issue this March. Fiona Staples is the artist along for the ride, and her art looks STELLAR.  This bizarre sci-fi Romeo & Juliet looks like to be a must read next year, and I am chomping at the bit to see issue one. Check out the interview, gang!

Shouldn’t I Be DREADING GI JOE: RETALIATION?!

Filed Under: comics, movies, tv by Marty Day — 1 Comment

…instead, no, I’m hyped as all hell for this damn sequel.

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was a ridiculous film, not always in a good way. Sure, you had Joseph Gordon-Levitt chewing up scenery as Cobra Commander, and some surreal attention to detail (did you notice the flame thrower soliders who’s sole purpose was to deice Cobra’s icey fortress?), but all and all, not a good movie.

That said, with just one trailer, GI Joe: Retaliation actually looks like an absolute hoot of a popcorn flick.

You’ve got color coded ninjas, Cobra Commander in the glass helmet, my boy Dwayne, Bruce f’n Willis and COBRA TAKING OVER THE GODDAMNED WHITE HOUSE. This is completely ridiculous. In a good way. Hell, it’s even directed by the guy who did Step Up 3D, the film that brought us the third dimension of dance, after all.

That HAS to be worth a matinee, right?!

GI Joe: Retaliation releases on June 29th, 2012.
