By now you're probably totally in love with or utterly annoyed by Carly Rae Jepsen's pop hit "Call Me Maybe" and its numerous homages (such as the US Olympic swim team's charming video).

In the weeks leading up to the release of The Dark Knight Rises, there were a lot of debates over the relative merits of Joss Whedon's Avengers film and TDKR's predecessor, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.

Several notable upcoming 1/6 limited edition collectible figurines were showcased at HT's booth last week in a variety of displays. Th...

So that's one Internet discussion we can put to rest. I mean, I know it's tempting fate to say that, but the evidence is conclusive: Bane's voice was indeed modified between early screenings of The Dark Knight Rises' prologue late last year and the film that was released earlier this month...

When it comes to video games, Batman fans have few complaints in this day and age. Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Gotham City games have been crazy critical and financial successes and even the more modest The Dark Knight Rises mobile game tie-in has received fan praise...

"I am devastated by this tragedy, and my heart is with the victims, survivors and their loved ones. Words fail me," wrote Hans Zimmer on Facebook in the early days following the shocking events of July 20, when 12 people were killed and dozens wounded by a masked gunman at a midnight screening of Zimmer's new film, The Dark Knight Rises, in Aurora, Colorado...
