Hard to believe the picture above kicked started the hype train for The Dark Knight one year ago.
And sure, I reported on it extensively on this site, and the viral campaign gave us all some great posters, trailers and even free tickets…
But what was it really SAYING?
We can thank the fine people over at TheBadAndUgly.com for compiling the entire, meticulous plot for 42Entertainment’s superb ARG, which bridged the gap between Batman Begins and this weekend’s Bat-sequel.

No, this isn’t an imaginary universe, nor is that a bad photoshop.
Tokyopop, purveyors of fantastic contracts, are actually making a Ghostbusters Manga.
Granted, Manga is a japanese comic…and not a single thing related to this one-shot is japanese, and sure, this entire thing reeks of some marketing firms babbling about what ideas are hot with the kids these days (”HEY, KIDS LOVE THE 80’s!” “THEY ALSO LIKE DEM BIG EYED CARTOONS!”)…but really, is there a market that is foaming at the mouth for this?
Find out more about this possible soulless husk of a comic over at Newsarama.com.
This week brings a special episode of Derailed, recorded mere moments after taking in a preview screening of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.

I know a certain someone who’s head is about to explode…
In one of the more surprising comic book movie announcements, the Dark Horse title The Goon, written/drawn/created by the wildly talented Eric Powell, will be hitting the screen in a CG animated film to be helmed by Fight Club’s David Fincher.
You read that right. The man who brought wild tales involving such characters as zombie priests, canniabal hobos, and pie loving skunk apes, will be teaming up with the man behind Panic Room and the adventures of Tyler Durden. This was announced last night on Powell’s official website, with word following from the Hollywood Reporter, pretty much assuring it’s good to go.
Film goers, get ready for the wacky.
