Obligatory Batman Post

   I suppose I should follow this up based on the fact the DKR is coming out midnight Friday, and... I should get this done before tomorrow. Last day for new theories. You've got twelve hours, everyone! (Not you, critics. You've already seen it; you guys don't count.)

   New Batman movie coming out? So, apparently, everyone knows that. Like, everyone. Well, not everyone, but, pretty much everyone. I had been thinking this whole time that this was some kind of indie film nobody's heard about, but it turns out that it's not, and the majority of the population's going to see it. They'd better. This is DC's only major live action film this year, and the first one since the disastrous Green Lantern last year. Marvel's already put out Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance this year alone, with Thor, First Class and First Avenger last year. That's a 3:1 ratio of Marvel to DC (animated direct-to-DVDs don't count, eh?) Not that there's anything wrong with Marvel. DC had just better step up its game is all. All they've got this year is this. (Dredd also does not count; I don't even know how you could think that.)

   This is a big movie, and everyone's going to see it. Which explains why I'm not the only one to have caught the Superman insignia on the poster thing. Man I thought it was a niche thing. Well, okay then. Significantly fewer people caught the batmask on the other side. The third poster, the "flaming" one...

...lacks the face one the upper corner, with that cropped out, so we really can't tell anything there. The old "Superman" thing is now on fire and looks like, I don't know, the Blade logo? It... It kind of looks like the Blade logo. Makes sense, what with the David S. Goyer. Actually, I like that a lot. New theory: not a crossover with Man of Steel, another DC property, but with Blade. Instead of a DC/DC crossover, it's a DC/Marvel crossover. Batman has bats, Blade has vampires. It's a perfect fit. Batman's head is neatly matched against the flaming building batsignia's bathead, emphasizing the battiness of it all. Battiness=vampirism. Plus everything's on fire, just like in Blade. This... this could work, you guys.

There! It's right there!
