New Mattel HOT WHEELS BATMAN BATMOBILES Spotted at Walmart

You might have read about these brand-new HOT WHEELS BATMAN Batmobile Toy Cars right here at the Bat-Blog awhile back. Well, our Good Friend and Ace Bat-Reporter BATMOBILLY spotted them, in a special display, at Wal-Mart the other night. Don't worry, they sell them at Target also. These toy cars are really amazing as diecast vehicles but for me there are two very cool things about them: 1. The packaging artwork is awesome ( I really like the use of all the different Bat-Logos ), and 2. They only cost $1.07. Hey, that's something we can ALL afford, ha ha!



There are EIGHT to collect and also keep in mind that some of these are re-issues. For a complete checklist be sure to check out that 1st image of a graphic taken from the back of one card (Click on it for a larger version ).

Video - BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM - Six Screen Eyefinity Review

OK, I know the new Batman Video Game is "Arkham City" but here's a video showing a pretty awesome 6-Monitor PC Gaming Set-Up using "Asylum" as a demo. Oh man, it's crazy! I bet if you were setting there, close to the screens, it would seem like a more natural view. But, I wish the monitor edges were not showing, more seamless, but this is still pretty cool!

OK, you know the New 2011 Hot Wheels BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE Car that is out there? Well, it's been seen with variant packaging where one has the BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Logo on it. Now, the cars are exactly the same, it's just a variation on the package design. Mattel is sort of known for doing that kinda thing, ha! Personally I like this new one with the logo because it makes it more of a piece of Bat-Merchandise. ( Thanks Chris )

New "Passing on the Smile" Fan-Film Teaser Trailer - Harley Quinn's Origin

I received an email this morning from a guy who is working on a new fan-made film called "Passing on the Smile". Basically, the movie is all about the creation of Harley Quinn. She is an employee of Arkham Asylum in Gotham City & we all know that she turns into a villain ( and Joker's girlfriend ) ...but, how does it happen? I think this film is going to try & explain that. This is the teaser trailer & you also get a small glimpse of the Joker.
