Awesome Batman

Hands down the best trailer re-cut we’ve ever seen, The Batman Complex casts Bruce Wayne as a paranoid schizophrenic, and the Dark Knight a figment of his tortured mind.

A sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City is the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds in Batman: Arkham City; out 10/11.

Here’s what it would look like if The Dark Knight starred TF2 characters, headlined by the Spy as Joker and the Demoman as Batman. You’ll have to turn up the volume to appreciate the clip.

Curious George gets a ghastly Joker makeover. There’s not much to say about Andy Hunt’s T-shirt design except that we’d love to see it turned into an actual tee. Vote for the design at Threadless.

Graphic design student Luca Lago Batmanized several Star Wars characters. His conversion process was pretty simple: give a character bat ears and add “bat” to its name. It’s super-effective!

Caldwell Tanner and Kevin Corrigan pit the Dark Knight against some of the Internet’s most popular memes. This makes us wish Batman was real so he could rid us of Forwarders once and for all.

Mimoco and Warner Bros. are collaborating on a collection of iconic DC Comics’ super heroes and villains flash drives, beginning with a 1939-era limited edition Batman, with many more to follow.

While Japanese truck modders fit their rigs with as many lights as possible, those who pimp vans love to add huge spoilers and spikes, as shown by this wacky Batmobile. It even has its own replica!

We never made it to the end of the excellent Arkham Asylum, but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited for the sequel. We only get a brief glimpse of the Dark Knight here, but we like what we see.

Sure, The Dark Knight and The Hangover are a bit passé, but that doesn’t make this unlikely mashup of the two any less amusing. Warning: Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong butt-shots ahead.

Fiberglass Freaks is licensed by DC Comics to make replicas of the 60s era Batmobile. They pay attention to all the details, from the dashboard door and knobs to the flamethrower exhaust.

No word if these are legit, but Arkham Asylum on the PC looked stunning, so why can’t the sequel look this good? Plus Catwoman’s here, so these have to be real. Please let these be real.

After a murder reminiscent of his own parents’ death, Batman struggles with his own demons. It can’t compete with Nolan’s Bat-films, but the $27k fan flick gives 1990s Batman a run for his money.

This 1:1 replica of Batman’s Batpod is equipped with a 650cc 4 stroke water cooled engine with direct port nitrous injection and tires that are 508 mm across. It’s such a shame it’s not street legal.

Here’s an unlikely mash-up that we’d nonetheless love to see – everyone’s favorite comic strip duo as the Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder. Actually we’d be content with just more Calvin and Hobbes.

Batman encounters a mysterious villain who knows all of his dark secrets. The film stars the voices of Bruce Greenwood, Jensen Ackles and – wait for it – NPH! Coming to DVD and Blu-ray this Summer.

The limited edition Bat-Cowl replica is cast in fiberglass from the original prop worn by Michael Keaton in 1992’s Batman Returns. A badass cowl if there ever was one. Only 500 will be made.

This incredible 1/6th-scale diorama of Bruce Wayne’s armory from The Dark Knight is an major feat in model-making. Built by Gee-Whiz Customs, it’s just like the original, only much, much smaller.

It’s a bat-astrophe that Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition isn’t available stateside; it uses TriOviz’s 2D-to-3D tech and includes Batman and Joker-themed 3D glasses.

It’s the same size as the Marvel Comic mural we featured previously, but we prefer the grand-Gotham look of this Batman XL Wall Mural; it’s a giant 9′ by 15′ removable wall decal.

This debut trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 seems to reveal little other than the Joker getting new digs, but watch closely: it reveals four villains (learn about three of them here).

The Dark Knight may have been cinematic gold, but it wasn’t without its fair share of guano; this hilarious Batman Parody features Bruce bat-tacking the movie’s various plot holes.

While it may not be bright enough to signal the Dark Knight, this Batlamp is ideal for do-gooder decorating; made with cardboard and RGB LEDs, the lighting is controlled by Arduino.
