Have you ever wondered what a Batman Beyond fan-made poster would look like? Wonder no more. Here is a sweet fan-made poster designed by Guy Bourraine Jr. The poster shows that the movie is coming in 2015, but unfortunately that is not the case.
I have thrown in a cool Batman Beyond video below. Man, I would love to see a live-action Batman Beyond movie. What about you?

The first movie poster has been released for Precious director Lee Daniels' new thriller The Paperboy, which is based on the novel by Pete Dexter. The story follows a Miami Times reporter as he returns to his Florida hometown to investigate the imprisonment of a death row inmate. The film has a solid cast of actors that includes Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, John Cusack, and Nicole Kidman.
I love the the retro style of this poster. Daniels has proven that he's a solid director. It should turn out to be a solidly good movie, but I'm still not sold on Efron as a serious actor.
Here's the official synopsis:
A directionless young man helps his reporter brother investigate the possible wrongful conviction of a man on death row, and in the process, falls for the woman whom the convict has been romancing through prison correspondence.
Here are some beautiful minimalist movie posters created by David Moscati. If you are a fan of movies and science fiction, you owe it to yourself to check out these sweet posters.
I like Moscati's take on movie posters. It shows that he is also a true fan:
Every film, no matter how complex, can be broken down to one simple meaning. That one goal being the driving force for the entire production, in this case less is more. Minimal Movies follows a design principle based off of the laws of simplicity. By examining each film to its core – a design is fashioned by talking literal aesthetics and subjective connotations and presented in it’s own as well as classic film poster style.
The Sovereign Series: Science Fiction Collection
Sovereign Science-Fiction is a Poster collection based upon the top five Science-Fiction Films as picked by Tom Menna Industries’ list of the Top 25 Science-Fiction films to date. The films listed were based not only on their excellence in the genre and in filmmaking – but also on concept, creativity, and innovativeness – as well as the influence they had (and still have) on today’s Cinema, Science Fiction and Pop-Culture(s). The designs are meant to reflect this spirit.
Here are some other cool movie posters designed by Moscati:

The R2-D2 ballerina costume above was awesomely created by J!NX fashion designer Samantha, aka Leeloo on Flickr. The costume is called Artoo Tutu and she wore it on Halloween of this year. Check out the photos and tell us what you think!
There's a lot of people in this world that don't believe in paying to see movies. It's hard to blame them though, going to the movies is just getting too damn expensive these days, especially with the extra cost of seeing a film in 3D or in IMAX. I don't condone stealing movies at all, I'm completely against it. I'm just saying I can see why people don't want to have to pay for them. Every year Hollywood loses a ton of money because of these pirated films, but it looks like illegal downloads are down from last year.
Fast Five leads the pack this year with 9,260,00 downloads followed by The Hangover II, Thor, Source Code, I Am Number Four, Sucker Punch, 127 Hours, Rango, The King's Speech, and Death Hallows Part II. Check out the chart below for all the details.
Sylvester Stallone continues to show off his ripped body to prove to the world that he can still kick everyone's ass. The image above comes from his new film Bullet in the Head. The guy looks like he's in the best shape of his life; it's crazy!
Walter Hill is directing the movie and the story follows New Orleans hitman (Stallone) who teams with a New York City detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the dingy back alleys of New Orleans all the way to the power corridors of Washington, D.C. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.
The movie is set to hit theaters on April 13th, 2012.
Check out this sweet Star Wars/Toy Story T-Shirt Mashup. Nik Holmes designed this tee that mixes Boba Fett with Buzz Lightyear. TeeFury is selling the shirt for 24 hours only, so act quick.
Here is a description of the design:
I have two boys, so needless to say we have our fair share of Buzz Lightyears. I was looking at one and just appreciating how awesome the design of the character is, and how he's just such an instant classic. This got me thinking about another cool spacemen with wrist cannons and a jetpack.

Marvel has unleashed a new international Russian trailer for The Avengers, and it contains a bit more new footage. The trailer is completely in Russian but you still get a pretty good idea of what is going on. There's no doubt that this film is going to be epic.
This story was directed by Joss Whedon, and brings together Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), and the villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
Here's the synopsis:
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”–the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble in summer 2012. In “Marvel’s The Avengers,” superheroes team up to pull the world back from the brink of disaster when an unexpected enemy threatens global security.
The highly anticipated film comes out on May 4th, 2012. It seems like we've still got a long way to go, but it will be worth the wait. Check out the Russian trailer below and tell us what you think!
It seems like fanboys and fangirls want as much information as they can get on Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Even with as much that's been released for the film so far, there is still a good amount of mystery surrounding the film and what the story actually includes.
The LA Times posted a spoilerish scene description, which was revealed in an intro to an interview with Catwoman. Not sure why they decided to post a description to a scene like this that is clearly a spoiler, but they did, and now it's available for you to read... if you want.
If you do decide to read it tell us what you think!
Gotham City is a war zone. A ruthless madman named Bane has ripped away any sense of security and the citizens, haggard and clutching suitcases with refugee anxiety, sit behind barbed wire waiting to see what will blow up next. A hooded prisoner is dragged in – it's Bruce Wayne, one of Gotham's most famous faces – but the eyes of the crowd go instead to the woman in black standing at the top of the staircase.
"Sorry to spoil things, boys, but Bane needs these guys himself," says sultry Selina Kyle, played here by actress Anne Hathaway, navigating the steps with stiletto heels that, on closer inspection, turn out to have serrated edges capable of leaving nasty claw marks in a fight. She also wears high-tech goggles that, when not in use, flip up and resemble feline ears.
Head on over to Hero Complex to read the full interview with Anne Hathaway. Here's a little expert where she talks about her character and Gotham City.
Gotham City is full of grace. You look at Heath’s performance as the Joker, there was a lot of madness there but there was also a grace and he had a code there. There’s a lot of belief and codes of behavior in Gotham and my character has one, too. A lot of the way she moves and interacts with people is informed by her worldview. Chris has given us all such complex, defined, sophisticated worldviews that it’s just a matter of doing your homework and getting underneath the character’s skin.
An awesome teaser trailer has been cut for Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien, and what makes this edit so cool is the fact that it was done in the same style of Scott's recent film Prometheus. The trailer was done extremely well, and it got me excited to want to watch Alien all over again.
The trailer was created by YouTube user heresjohnny1991, and he basically took the sound and lettering idea from the Prometheus trailer and cut it together with some great imagery from Alien. Check out the Alien teaser trailer below and tell us what you think!
We have a different piece of Geek Art today from CGHUB artist blau. The piece is called Blauberry Akuma and according to the artist is a "Blueberry demon in a thick mist." I love the look of this fantasy art piece, the eyes in particular, and of course the bear trap style necklace adds a fun wicked touch. What do you think?
This is one ridiculous yet well made trailer mash-up bringing together two films I never imagined would work in a million years... Transformers: Dark of the Moon and The Little Mermaid. This is actually one of the better made trailer mashups I've seen recently, but is still silly as hell. Check it out below and tell us what you think!
Welcome to the brand new Geektyrant webcomic Comedic Continuity! In what I hope to be a weekly installment (unless I get hit with copyright infringement), I will be posting your favorite Marvel and DC heroes re-edited in the way I always imagined them...deranged and slightly douchey.
So without further ado enjoy our first installment Veterans Day For Captain America (West Coast Avengers #64) and let me know what you think in the comments or via email.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been jumping right back into the action ever since ending his political career. He just finished playing a border sheriff who faces off with a drug lord in The Last Stand, and is slated to have a larger role in The Expendables 2, which arrives next summer.According to The Arnold Fans, the action icon is set to play an immortal in his next sci-fi/action thriller soon.
So I thought what the hell, why not make a Top 15 list of movies that I didn't see over the last year because of how bad they looked. My decision not to see any of these movies was based on how bad they looked due to the trailers that the studio released for them, as well as some of the actors that were involved with the projects.
I can't really give any kind of commentary on the films because I haven't seen any of them, and I seriously doubt I will ever watch them. This list is based purely off the fact that they looked absolutely terrible.
So here's the list, each one accompanied by the movie trailer that turned me off on the film. And yes, there are two Nicolas Cage movies on the list. This list is in no particular order, look through them below and tell us what movies you avoided in 2011 because they awful they looked to you.
Check out this awesome zombie Snow White decal that will help spice up the minimalist look of your Apple. The decals range in price from $7 to $20 and are made of die-cut pressure-sensitive adhesive vinyl and eco-solvent inks. You can apply it to your Apple laptop, iPad, iPod or iPhone perfectly. There is even a "Goth" style Snow White you can buy at the designer's Etsy.
I'm not sure how many of our readers will be into this news, but I feel I'm doing a disservice to the community it I don't report on it. Alien Cathouse, one of the first sci-fi inspired cathouses, will be coming to Las Vegas, Nevada sometime next year.
The owner, Dennis Hof (who apparently owns the Moonlite Bunny Ranch?), is teaming up with Madam Heidi Fleiss to bring you the "ultimate sci-fi experience".
Featuring girls donning costumes from Star Trek, Star Wars, and many other sci-fi elements, the place promises to recreate various fantasies of any geek...for a price of course.
It seems odd...but then again who better to promote to than a community who has been known to spend thousands of dollars on frivolous items to begin with?
My only hope is they can recreate my fantasy.

These cool fan-made posters for The Shining are far from dull, in fact they are awesome. The minimalist look and feel of these posters is simply amazing. Stanley Kubrick's chilling adaptation of Stephen King's book is one of my favorite horror films.
