  • jasonb26
    excellent page 2 today!
  • the Batman artwork is absolutely gorgeous.
  • TheDaftPunk
    Bond 23 at the end of 2010?!

    That means that we probably won't see the release until early 2012, a 4 year gap.
  • Name
    nope that would actually make it a great contender for fall 2011
  • Nokoo
    So you're saying they'll film it, edit it and market it all within 8 months?
  • Macca
    That's a good thing - it leaves plenty of time to get rid of the bitter, bitter aftertaste left by Quantum of Solace.

  • The second Batman artwork is simply amazing! duss005, you got my attention.
  • Thumb_at_FistOfBlog
    Those batman images are nice, but most of them are VERY derivative, if not straight-up stolen.
  • EvanJDeBiase
    that "youth in revolt" poster is a direct lift from Kubrick's "Lolita"
  • mangoshakes
    that's why batman is so cool.
  • awesome
    the batman pics were a nice surprise in this page 2
    batman just kicks so much ass
  • Propadanda
    Freeman looks unbelievably similar to Mandela from the angle the photo is on.
  • quintushalls
    This Page 2 had really great stories but Page 3 was crap.
  • super_aj
    Invictus just looks awesome. Count me in already. Clint Eastwood should just direct films until he's 225 years old!
  • Dr_Gonzo
    I'm loving the Batman artwork. Some awesome skills on show there.
