The legendary four-issue series of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley with it’s darker, grittier Batman has never been adapted for film or television, but that’s about to change. DC Comics Premiere Movies is currently creating a two-part animated adaptation of the series and they’ve chose Peter Weller of RoboCop fame as the voice of Batman. We can look forward to part one this fall and part two sometime next year. I really hope we get to hear Batman say, “Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.”

Two years ago, I received the Dr. Horrible DVD for Christmas. I had watched it online of course and loved it but kept forgetting to order the DVD when it came out. A family member not only got it for me, but presented the DVD in perhaps the coolest way possible. I encourage going this route if you are getting Dr. Horrible for someone.

I received various clues. I opened one present in between other people opening gifts so that it was spaced out.

This DVD from only teaches you how to do one illusion—crushing a bottle or can with your mind—but you can get a lot of mileage out of performing it for friends. Your stupid, gullible friends. To them you will be a god. You’r powers are above all comprehension. Women will want you, men will want to be you. Also they will also want you. It’s that awesome.

Did you wonder what the hell happened on Lost after Hurley took over the number 1 job from Jack with Ben at his side? You and me both. But there is some good news, Lost isn’t completely over.

Anyone with a gut knows that the remote control is the gatekeeper to weight gain and mindless entertainment. But there was one important factor that, until now, was left out of the lazy equation… a built in bottle opener. That’s where this “Clicker” universal remote comes in. In addition to the bottle opener, it will also control up to 9 components, including TV, Cable, VCR, Satellite, as well as DVD and CD players. Now the only looming threat of exercise will be if the clicker goes missing… God forbid.

James Cameron basically spilled the beans back in February, but Fox has removed all doubt by officially announcing that the Avatar DVD and Blu-ray editions will drop on April 22nd. Unfortunately, these versions will only be in 2D and sans bonus features. Apparently they needed every GB of disk space to deliver the film in all of its digital glory.

If you are patient enough though, a multi-disk version with loads of bonus material is expected to arrive in November, with the ultimate 3D version following sometime next year.

Yes, Halloween is only a couple of weeks away—but I just couldn’t resist a Christmas product this bizarre. When I was a kid growing up in New York, I watched the Yule Log every year on WPIX. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), that Yule Log did not feature women dancing around in their underwear…or reindeer costumes.
