Comic-Con San Diego just wrapped up lat week. It took place July 24 - 27th at the San Diego Convention Center. It drew over 120,000 attendees. I would of have loved to be there! The costumes were bountiful and so creative. Of course, I like it when people purchase our costumes for events like this, which some do, but then there are those who create costumes and it really shows off their imagination and talent. I found so many links to stories and pictures for the event, I was wondering how I would incorporate all of the info in a blog post. So, here is a list of links to articles and pictures:

Over at WhySoSerious.com, the Joker seems to up to his usual tricks, posting cool clues about the upcoming Batman flick. Our friends at Warner Bros. claim they have nothing to do with the site, but clearly powerful forces are at work here, reports MTV's moviesblog. The Dark Knight movie, the sequel to Batman Begins with Christian Bale, who does an awesome job in the role of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Michael Keaton was my favorite Batman, but I really love Christian Bale and Batman Begins is definitely my favorite Batman movie. Although the original with Adam West and the "Bat Shark Repellent" is surely a classic. I guess today's joke over at whysoserious.com is an auto redirect to http://www.rent-a-clown.com/.
So many rumors, false poster pictures and fake trailers are circulating the Internet, so for some facts, please visit The Dark Knight FAQ page over at IMDB.com
Stay tuned for more updates on the Dark Knight batman costume and other gadgets like the Bat Pod. It is one of batman's vehicles in the upcoming film and here is the clip from The Today Show with Al Roker and Meredith Viera at the helm:
In case you can't tell, I am a huge Batman fan, I even watch the Batman cartoons on TV. Have you seen them? They are pretty cool! It airs on both the WBKids and Cartoon Network. Batman also appears in the Justice League cartoon and in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. Either the writer, director or producer of the Justice League cartoons must be a big Batman fan. His character there is awesome - just how you would picture Batman to be.
DC should really get together and plan out a live action Justice League movie - they already have a Batman and a Superman, a WonderWoman movie has been in negotiations for way too long and Superhero action flicks do so well - why not? Follow in marvel's foot steps with Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor Movies all leading up to a live action Avengers movie with the same actors. That will be cool! Can't wait to see them all.
So stay tuned for more Batman inside info: Same Bat Time & Same Bat Channel!
