Batman: Arkham City concept art
Last November I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out, and as a gift to myself I bought Batman: Arkham Asylum for Xbox 360 so that I had something mindless to do while I recovered. Let me tell you this: taking vicodin and playing this trippy ass game was fucking great.
The sequel, Arkham City, comes out shortly. Above is the concept art. I'm not really a gamer unless I want to be, but I guarantee you I will play this game a lot when it comes out.
stupid
I remember first seeing Batman Returns as a kid and was perplexed by how much it just looked like a pillow stuffed in his pajamas. So stupid
Joker in the Arkham Aslyum graphic novel
Just look at the red around Joker's eyes and his tiny little pupils. Chilling.
Well...
No, not really. These shitty Tiger games were really bad, and annoying, and impossible to play for more than five minutes.
Fuck you Penguin.

From the IMDB Dark Knight Rises Message Board:
"Batman is Real! A Study of Quantum Mechanics
by DoctorArthurFielding
Dear IMDB,
Allow me to introduce myself! I am Doctor Arthur Fielding, Astrophysicist and Quantum theoretician. I received my PhD in astrophysics from Columbia University in 1982, and now run a small laboratory where I conduct quantum research with my graduate students.
Why am I telling you this? Well, when I was a boy, I greatly enjoyed reading fantasy stories, science fiction novels, and especially comic books. My favorite comic hero was Batman. I was so captivated by The Dark Knight that I remained convinced until late in my youth that Batman was NOT a fictional character, but a real person. I simply could not fathom that such a dynamic, gritty, wonderful character could be make-believe, and I KNEW that Bruce Wayne must be out there somewhere, fighting crime...
Of course, as I grew older, I began let go of this childish belief. That is, until college, when I first came across quantum theory and was exposed to the many-worlds theory (also called infinite-worlds theory), which states (in layman's terms) that for every event in human history where there is a thinkable alternate outcome, there is a universe in which that outcome has taken place. My young college mind was blown away by this information. Batman was a thinkable concept! There could, indeed, be a universe that contains a real-life batman! My mind reeled, and my dream began; SOMEDAY, I would prove Batman's existence.
I am happy to say that I have succeeded. My machine, codenamed "The One Ring", is a supercomputer that analyzes the quantum signatures of a simple light ray (each ray of light contains billions) and is able to isolate each one and depict it's source. After months of trying, (remember, I have literally trillions of universes to sift through), I have finally several "Batman" universes. I have worked out a way to enter said universe.
One month from today, myself and a team of my students intend to enter one of said universes in the hope that we can bring back The Batman, to share with all my fellow Batman fans. The Dark Knight will truly live.
Please keep in mind that this project is TOP SECRET, and I am only sharing it with you (rest assured, I have left out some crucial details and changed some facts about myself) because of our shared Batman-love. Consider yourselves privileged.
Sincerely,
Doctor Arthur Fielding, PhD."
Awesome.

Stan Lee's Batman
In 19..something, Stan Lee did a series of re-inventions of DC Characters including Batman. Yeah its sucks ass, but interesting anyway.
