We interrupt your regularly scheduled SITE INACTIVITY (You’re the one who’s not active, RJ. -Ade) for a video clip I found on the interwebs! Batman: Arkham City was released on the PS3 and 360 last week, but sadly, PC gamers won’t be able to play it until November 15th :(. But PC gamers, being the master race, are willing to wait. And while we wait, check out the new Nightwing DLC trailer!

We’ve often talked of sexual tension in the comics we read, mostly because your Comicgasm editors are such immature man-children. We would never let anything vaguely resembling homosexual relations between your favorite superheroes pass for a cheap joke. You’re welcome.

Anyway, one of the greatest comic book bromances rivalries of all  time would be between Superman and Lex Luthor. However, it can get pretty old and stale, and you wouldn’t fault Superman for looking somewhere else. Somewhere like General Zod’s direction. Also, there’s the reboot. [/cheap shot]

The rest of the story of Lex Luthor being a jealous bitch on Facebook after the cut! (continue reading…)

Okay, Batman, that’s enough. Come along now, and stop making bad jokes that Green Lantern himself won’t make.

Thanks for making this, Marco!

Here it is. The first official trailer for the epic conclusion to the Chris Nolan Batman film trilogy – The Dark Knight Rises. It doesn’t give us much information about the plot – we just see a few flashbacks to the scenes of the first two films, a hospitalized Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) pleading with an off-screen Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) to step out of retirement, and a few fleeting glimpses of the movie’s big bad, Bane (Tom Hardy).

Considering TDKR is going to open July 2012, I’m really surprised at how early this movie’s marketing push is. Also, it only started filming a few weeks back, and we have some climatic fight scene footage already! What do you think of the new The Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer?

Grant Morrison’s run on Batman and Robin has finished, and with it, he ends the Batman: Reborn and Batman R.I.P. era. He’ll be back next month in the pages of Batman Incorporated, but before he starts the new arc in his epic Batman tale, let’s take time to review the last issue of Batman and Robin before Paul “Awesomely British” Cornell takes over.

Comicgasm editors Ade & RJ sit down and talk about what they liked and didn’t like in this issue and Morrison’s run in general, and what they expect in the so-called “Season Two” of Morrison’s Batman epic.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Ade: Before anything else, I must say I loved it. I was excited for this issue since the cliffhanger ending of Batman and Robin #15, and boy, was the wait worth it.

RJ: A BANANA PEEL? Really, Morrison? REALLY? Wait, does that count as a spoiler?

Ade: I have no idea man, but right now, Chekov’s gun is now a banana peel. Oh, before I forget, when we saw that last page from #15:

Ade: Were you hoping that it was either Joker or Alfred in the Batsuit? Because I was. It totally won’t make any sense at all, but that’s what Morrison’s good at – taking those things and making it work. (continue reading…)
