You’ll have to wait a few more months for The Dark Knight Rises to hit theaters on July 20th, but here’s a little something to whet your appetite in the meantime. Six new posters featuring Batman, Catwoman and Bane have been released by Warner Brothers to help promote the film. If the posters are any indication, this final chapter in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is going to be amazing!

This marketing campaign for Prometheus will have you wanting to plan a trip to Paris just to take a ride on the subway. A giant blue head now greets subway riders on Metro line 9 at the Saint-Martin station which has been abandoned since 1939. They’ve even added in a Prometheus stop on the subway map. With the release just weeks away on June 8th you’ll have just enough time to book your trip.

If you’ve been having a hard time keeping track of what happened when in the Marvel movie universe, then this is the handy dandy chart you need to print up and pin on your wall. The chart, found in The Art of Marvel’s The Avengers book, starts with Odin defeating the Jotuns and details events as they happen in each moving right up to The Avengers. It uses Iron Man as the point of origin so years are either BIM (Before Iron Man) or AIM (After Iron Man). Can we please start using that in the real world, too?

Earlier this month we were treated to the international trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and it was full of scary alien goodness. Now, we get a clip of Prometheus landing on the planet and everything seems just fine. But you know it’s not. The music is too happy. The crew is too cocky. This is all going to end with aliens stuck on people’s faces and me hiding my eyes. Trust me, when the film opens on June 8th you’re all going to be sleeping with the lights on for a month.

As you know, Biff Tannen was Marty McFly’s nemesis in The Back to The Future trilogy. It didn’t matter if he was young Biff or old Biff, he was a jerk. But the guy that played him, Tom Wilson, is damn funny and he has the world’s most verbose business card as proof. Rather than answer the same questions about the movie over and over, he wrote up all the things he’s constantly asked and put them on his business card. And he even wrote up a song to go with it.
Check out the whole business card and the video after the jump…

The Avengers saved the planet, but at what cost? In case you hadn’t noticed, they did a number on downtown Manhattan.
At the request of The Hollywood Reporter, disaster-cost prediction company Kinetic Analysis Corp. formulated an answer, but it’s a number so large that even Tony Stark might have a little trouble picking up the tab. Their estimate is a whopping $16o billion dollars when you factor in damage, the economic impact, cleanup time and loss of life. To give some perspective, the Japanese Tsunami cost $122 billion or Hurricane Katrina at only $90 billion.
Sure, he’s go that whole Avengers movie opening this weekend, but Joss Whedon is no stranger to disappointment. One of those moments came with a Batman movie that he tried to sell to execs right after Joel Shumacher’s two cinematic monstrosities. In his version of the rebooted franchise, the focus would be on a very depressed adolescent Bruce Wayne who has yet to find his way after the death of his parents. Whedon describes the moment a young Wayne realizes he can actually help save people.

YouTuber “sleepyskunk” created a video entitled “Movies That Come To The Rescue”, which provides the sounds of Weezer’s Perfect Situation while showing clips from what is apparently every superhero movie ever made… we’ll have to take sleepyskunk’s word on that one.
Check out the video, and a list of the included films after the break.
In the new extended international trailer for “Prometheus” we get a little more plot, a little more space travel and a lot of a scary alien blood, gore and goo. We see the Prometheus land and learn it’s at the invitation of an alien race. All seems well, until it most definitely is not. Faces are squished. People are warned. The survival of all humanity hangs in the balance. Will we survive? I don’t know, but from the looks of this trailer our chances are not good against what look an awful lot like Alien aliens.
See the full nightmare inducing trailer after the jump and decide for yourself…
