Christopher Case

The entire internet is posting the new Dark Knight Rises trailer today, as if any new footage of the film can possibly make me want to see it more than my current level of 9,000,000% (mathematically the highest percent possible). I just watched the trailer myself and frankly, and not to be inflammatory, but I just don t see what the big deal is. Watch the new trailer below, and see if you can make any sense out of this: Weird, right? I mean, I guess those pens are pretty cool if you need to like, sign stuff or whatever, and 95 cents is a sweet bat-deal, but where was Christian Bale in this thing? And no Bane? And what was with the film quality? Those pens are gonna look like garbage on IMAX. I don t know, I m still confident Christopher Nolan s gonna pull this out. And worse case scenario, I wouldn t mind a consolation muffin / Catwoman meow-pen combo. At least it still makes a little more sense than the last Dark Knight Rises trailer.

Parents, future parents, and single people with disposable income and a love of Batman listen up: At some point, you MAY get tempted to hire a Batman for your child s (/ your) birthday party. If this is the case, go ahead! Everyone loves Batman, and what party wouldn t be improved with the presence of a man in a Batman outfit? Just remember one thing - DO NOT hire the Christopher Nolan gritty reboot Batman for your party. He may be the ideal Batman for a twisted morality tale about goodness embodying the role of evil for the greater good, but the dude will totally f**k up your pinata game: (via Kotaku)
