New UK Book - HOLY FRANCHISE, BATMAN! By Gary Collinson

I just got some news about a brand-new "Batman Movie & TV History" Book titled, "Holy Franchise, Batman!", which was written by Gary Collinson. The book covers the ENTIRE film and television history of the character. We're talking from the 1940's Serials to Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher, Christopher Nolan, and all of the animated TV cartoons. It even has a full episode guide for the 1966 Adam West and Burt Ward TV Series. 

One thing though, I think this book will only be available in the UK & I'm guessing it will be available on UK Amazon? Sorry, Publisher didn't share many details. But one thing I do know is that the release date is June 29th, 2012. Also, sorry my description is kinda vague but the Publisher never sent me a Review Copy either. So, I can't really review it or anything. But it sounds like a fun book, especially for fans of the bat-films.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - 2012 Comic Con MATTEL EXCLUSIVE Batman Action Figure

In this video Scott Neitlich, aka Toy Guru ( Mattel Marketing Manager ), gives you a preview of the Exclusive 2012 Comic Con BATMAN Action Figure that ties-into THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. Well, we should not say "exclusive" because all the ones that don't sell at the Comic Con will be offered later on their MATTY COLLECTOR website. But hey, you get the idea! Anyway, this action figure has some amazing box-packaging featuring Wayne Manor and the Bat Cave, plus it has lights and sounds! Just watch the video, you'll see : )

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - Nokia Lumia 900 - Limited Edition BATMAN Smart Phone

Starting right now the Nokia Company is offering a special "Limited Edition" Batman Phone. Of course it's a promo tie-in to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie and features some exclusive apps and a specially-designed case. 

Unfortunately, it's ONLY available in the UK. Plus, because it's very limited to only 900 copies made, it will be a premium price as well. This is sad because if you look at the photo up above this thing is really cool looking, dang! Also, be sure to check out the video down below and right here is a LINK where British People can buy it. (Yeah, I'm bitter )

BATMAN - THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS - 2012 Comic-Con-Exclusive Hallmark Keepsake Ornament

HALLMARK today announced its return to Comic-Con International and its line-up of 2012 Comic-Con-Exclusive Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. Now, they're gonna have some characters from the "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" movie and a Cylon Centurion from TV's "Battlestar Galactica", but the really great news here is for Batman Fans! Yes! They're gonna have a brand-new BATMAN Ornament called "A Human Hero", inspired by the 1986 Batman Comic Book & Graphic Novel,  "The Dark Knight Returns"!!

BATMAN - PUPPET MASTER - New Fan Film in the Works

Hey, Check out this cool video presenting an idea for a future Batman Fan-Film titled, BATMAN: PUPPET MASTER. This is a Group Project by a bunch of very talented Film Makers in Los Angeles who are trying to garner support for their movie. They include: Bryan Nest (Director), Chris Wiltz (Writer), Christin Mizelle (Producer) and Ethan Cushing (Producer). 

As you can see from the video the production quality is really excellent. Plus, I love the fact that they're using some very obscure characters like The Ventriloquist/Scarface and Mr. Zsasz. But wait, the main Bat-Villain here is The Riddler! One general idea with this film is that it fills-in the story arch between "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises". I remember when nobody knew who the Villain(s) in the next movie was going to be and everyone speculated "The Riddler". So, this movie might be pretty fun. 

Please check out the video and then be sure to visit their Kickstarter page. At the time of this writing they only have about 13 days to raise the rest of their budget and this looks like a worthy idea.
