Catwoman vs Talia Showdown!

I'm not actually sure where this pic initially came from but I got it from the SHH boards. It shows Catwoman on the Batpod in front ot Talia, who is at the wheel of the monstrous HEMTT.

It's all part of a huge chase sequence being shot in LA right now, and most believe it will be edited together with the huge Tumbler vs new Bat vehicle chase footage shot in Pittsburgh to form one giant, epic action sequence!

Nolan's Catwoman IS Julie Newmar Influenced?

"Where are her ears" cried the fanboys when the first Catwoman pic was revealed. It was bad enough there was no cowl but the lack of enough feline symbolism enraged certain sections of the fandom.

Many other fans pointed out a similarity with the Julie Newmar version from the 60's TV show, and those with a keen eye noted the LED goggles seemed to be covering a domino mask, so when flipped up they'd create ears.

Well Just Jared has nabbed these pics from filming today on the TDKR set in LA, and it looks like the theories have been confirmed. Does that mean no cowl at all? not definitely, but it does appear that Nolan has drawn his influence from the most unlikely of sources for his version of Catwoman, as most would have expected Jim Lee's now iconic design to be the basis, including yours truly.

........Oh, and Batman was on set as well!

AND someone over at Nolanfans.com grabbed a video, below is said video and a description of what you are seeing given the spy-like way it's shot.

Leaked video from showing Batman and Catwoman in action following the chase and crashing of the HEMTT. Gordon *may* also appear in this shot. Batman walks to the HEMTT and hooks the winch from the batwing to something in the back of the smoking HEMTT while Catwoman watches, dunno how she got there in her stilettos. Batman and Catwoman hug before he gets back in the batwing and lifts off to fly away with whatever was in the back of Bane's truck.

José Padilha Wants Michael Fassbender As Robocop

I thought this project was on the shelf when Aronofsy left it but now there is talk of shooting in the fitst quarter of 2012 and if they can get Fassbender on board in the lead role this could be something cool.

Bleeding Cool got the scoop.

Michael Fassbender is truly the man of the moment, attacking ambitious pictures of all genres, from Shame to Prometheus, X-Men: First Class to The Dangerous Method. And he’s consistently good in these movies too, making smart choices and bringing more than his sheer charisma to the screen.

So, really, it’s no surprise at all that Robocop reboot director José Padilha wants Fassbender to take a look at the lead role. He’d be mad not to.

Appearing on Brazillian TV channel Globo 1 to discuss the selection of his film Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within as the country’s official nomination for Oscar consideration, Padhila also talked a little about his Robocop plans.

A team of Little Bleeders tell us that Padilha said something like this:

I’ll film Robocop. I’m indeed writing the script, the writer is here with me in Rio, we’ve spent over the last 15 days working together, refining the script.

I’ll be travelling this friday back to LA, bringing this new version to discuss with the studio, and maybe begin with the casting, selecting actors… and the idea is to begin filming in February – February or March. That’s the idea, y’know, we never know in the american movie industry. We’re just delivering the project, but also we depend on the schedule of the actors… it’s tough.

I can’t talk yet, it’s too early to speak, but there are some actors I like. I really like the Fassbender, I’d like to talk to him — I’ll talk to him. There’s a possibility… and there’s a lot of other great actors that would play Robocop. But that’s the idea, to film around January, February, March.

Padilha also confirmed that the film would be set in Detroit, as in Paul Verhoeven’s original.

Arkham City - The Joker Promo

Rocksteady have released a new promo for Arkham City centered on The Joker. The promo is full of atmosphere and gives a little hint towards a big overall scheme that The Joker may be running in the game.

The first game (Arkham Asylum) was excellent and this one really looks like it is going to top it with it's variety of bosses from Batman's awesome rogues gallery and wider playing map.

Arkham City hits stores on October 18th.

Jack & Jill One-Sheet As Lazy & Shitty-Looking As Trailers

You see, kids, the joke is Adam Sandler is playing both Jack and Jill.

Here's the one-sheet for the latest Sander/Dennis Dugan opus (courtesy of Coming Soon) that will, of course, be a big commercial success leaving the rest of us with taste wondering when did average movie-goers get so dumb. Sigh. Well whatever you do, don't tell George C. Scott!
