THE DARK KNIGHT RISES at The Movie Drive-In!!

"Hey, Let's All Go To The Lobby, Let's All Go To The Lobby..."

 These photos are great for two reasons: 1. The Costumes look great! We have Batman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn right here!! 2. They were shot at a Vintage-Style Movie Drive-In! I totally love those places, "Hey Mom, we're sitting IN the car AND watching a movie!". The audio was always kinda crappy but just the joy of going with a bunch of friends and having your own space was always good times. Plus, you ALWAYS had to go hit the concession stand for munchies, ha! Very cool!

 Whoops, did I mention that Batman here is our friend William? Yes, This is him & his Wife ( I think, maybe? ), with another friend, and they all went in costume to go see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES at their local drive-in. Oh man, I bet if kids were there they went totally insane, ha! ( Thanks William for sharing your wonderful photos )

Get A Good Look At Iron Man's Arc Reactor From Christopher S. Ross Concept Art

Tony Stark's chest Arc Reactor in Iron Man (2008) is a technical marvel. No one gives us a better look at it's wondrous technology than Christopher S. Ross (Men In Black 3, Avengers, Minority Report).

His site is http://dezyn.com/

It's interesting to see the elaborate device Tony Stark could - and should - have had to work on it. Of course, we wouldn't have gotten the hilarious scene of Pepper taking it in and out for him.



Official Synopsis:
From Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures comes Iron Man, an action-packed take on the tale of wealthy philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil. In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When Stark is kidnapped and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free, Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and save the world. Gwyneth Paltrow co-stars as his secretary, Virginia "Pepper" Potts, while Terrence Howard fills the role of Jim "Rhodey" Rhodes, one of Stark's colleagues, whose military background leads him to help in the formation of the suit. Jon Favreau directs, with Marvel movie veterans Avi Arad and Kevin Feige producing.

I also came across this photo showing the crazy "Advertising Banner" display that this place did. Oh man, check it out!! ( You might need to click on it for a larger HD version ). It's insanely cool!!

Sorry Salvatore for having this post all mixed-up ( ha ha! ) but I do appreciate you sharing your photo.
