Remarks made by directors in interviews as to their career aspirations and dream projects seldom warrant news coverage. However, when that director is one of great geek stature and the dream project is both epically awesome and seemingly entirely feasible, it's worth discussing. Such is the case…

NIGHT OF THE OWLS" continues here!• Batman must stop the TALONS that have breeched the Batcave in order to save an innocent life...and Gotham City!• In the backup story, learn more about the PENNYWORTH family and the secrets they've kept from the Wayne family!

As we move closer and closer to July, and move slightly out of the wake of 'The Avengers' titanic success, I suspect the marketing for 'The Dark Knight Rises' will get more and more aggressive. Today, a quartet of new banners for the film hit the web. They aren't too spectacular, but they play to both the…

The first two parts of a new ongoing series brought to you by The Comic Book Cast covering DC's major new event Night Of The Owls.

Intro

Batman #9

Why is it that whenever we post a new image, trailer, or poster for
 Christopher Nolan's 
'The Dark Knight Rises' I can hear
 Bane's followers chanting? It must be because I am completely crazy...excited to see the upcoming
 Batman film. We've known for a while now that…

At this point, I don't need to see any more footage, stills, or trailers to increase my desire to see Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises;' I'm pretty maxed out on excitement. However, I'm not about to deprive our faithful Spillios of these things. To wit, I offer these three recently released…

When the Avengers truly assembled for the first time in San Diego two summers ago, Robert Downey, Jr. boldly stated that this film was "the most ambitious movie [he's] ever seen", even over the phenomenon that was Christopher Nolan's Inception. It has taken four years to develop the main…

Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' has already made upwards of $280 million overseas before even hitting US theaters. It's also a phenomenal film in this…

Now that we've reached the week of 'The Avengers' release, I can start refocusing my attention to the other hugely anticipated 2012 summer movie: Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises.' It was recently announced…

Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' is no stranger to the viral marketing campaign. Last December we saw a leaked document, purportedly from the CIA, reporting that a prominent nuclear…

Promo art from any given film can often be interesting or even beautiful, but what you don't always expect is for it to be downright sexy. Yet such is the case with this new Catwoman art from Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises.' In this artwork we see …

An incredibly ambitious party movie that attempts to lay all other party movies to rest with the aid of weed, acid, ecstasy, alcohol, topless girls, adrenaline and high octane fuel that does anything but burn out? Yes, it's true. This is the movie to end all party movies and all parties period! It doesn't slow down, it doesn't let you up, and it's the culmination of the teenage life of all the kids who are now growing up with Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Fight Club, Jersey…

In today's world, it is so hard to distinguish oneself as a filmmaker with a unique story to tell that reinvents the wheel in a way that suits both the casual viewer and the film buff who is constantly looking to be surprised by what cinema can provide for them. That is one of the brilliant things about Nicolas Winding Refn's mind that makes him such a promising filmmaker who has an incredible vision about what movies are capable of. He's been compared to some of the greats including Stanley…

Here are a few pictures that made me laugh.

First shows how much taller Nolan is compared to Tom Hardy. Shouldn't the Bane word balloon say "mmm mmm" ? lol

The second is of Tom Hardy laughing in the Bane costume. He seems a lot less threatening when he is laughing.

The last one is of Bane compared to Scorpion and Dr. Zoidberg. Separated at birth 

Now before all you Nolan fanboys jump down my back these are just jokes. Don't take them…

This has been a big day for plot details revealed in interviews with actresses. First, Charlize Theron spills the beans that the on again/off again 'Mad…

If you've seen any of the marketing for 'The Dark Knight Rises,' you are probably aware of two things: the movie looks incredibly awesome, and Bane, played by actor…

So the trailer for 'The Dark Knight Rises' has been released and it still leaves me with a lot of questions but luckily equal amounts of excitement. My reaction to the new footage:

• What we already know is that it takes place 8 years after the end of 'The Dark Knight', in which Harvey Dent died and Batman was on…
