Dark Knight Has Titanic In Its Sights

The Dark Knight is still a juggernaut, mowing down any box office record standing in its path. The Batman sequel has raked in $300 million in 10 days. That passed the record set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest which made $300 million in 16 days.

Is Batman Really Crazy?

The recent events surrounding Dark Knight star Christian Bale are tinged with quite a bit of irony. After all, many folks in Gotham want the police to bring Batman in for his vigilante acts.

The Dark Knight Is Simply Brilliant

Who’s Cooler: Batman or Iron Man?

                                       Now that Tony Stark is on his way to becoming the same kind of household name that Bruce Wayne has always been, we have to ask the tough question.

Batman:RIP Begins Wednesday

Acclaimed writer Grant Morrison’s widely anticipated Batman:RIP storyline hits shelves May 14. I don’t think anybody believes DC Comics plans to kill its Cash Bat, particularly with The Dark Knight coming to theaters July 18.

Batman vs. Indiana Jones

It’s down to the final two, folks. SFUniverse fans will soon declare either The Dark Knight or Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull the movie they want to see most this summer. Iron Man got pretty soundly thrashed, which I was a little shocked by. Vote early and often in our poll […]

And Then There Were Three
