This week’s DVD Drop is a complete no-brainer.  The Dark Knight was one of the most successful summer releases this year and my guess is that pretty much every single one of you went out and saw this movie.  It picks up where Batman Begins ends and allows the audience to watch the continued evolution of Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman.

There are few absolute truths in the DC comic book universe. Superman can’t be around kryptonite, OA is the source of the Green Lanterns’ power, Wonder Woman hates most men, and Batman is Bruce Wayne. Everything else can be cured by a simple “crisis,” of varying levels of finality.

In the newest twist of comic book fate, a line has been crossed. When Doomsday killed Superman and Marvel killed off Captain America (Steve Rogers), I had trust and faith that everything would recover and those responsible would see the err of their ways. But in this newest turn, the unthinkable has been thought. Not only is Dr. Thomas Wayne alive, but he is really Simon Hurt – the leader of the Black Glove organization. As if that wasn’t enough of a WTF, he kills his son Bruce Wayne/Batman. And he is dead, like dead-dead, like no kryponian trance or Bat-droid or Skrull pretending to be Batman in some inter-universal conspiracy.

Writer Grant Morrison has been quoted as saying, “This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman. Batman will live on though, with another character filling his Batsuit.” Reading the subtext correctly, Bruce Wayne will be back - but not as Batman. The question is, what silly-ass vehicle will they use to bring him back.

This week’s DVD is Tropic Thunder.  This was one of the most talked about comedies of the summer movie releases but was lost amongst other top name films such as The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones.  The movie features an awesome cast of mega-stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. Read more

At 1:32 in the Watchmen trailer, this pin-up of Sally Jupiter (played by Carla Gugino) appears for only a second. The illustration was done by artist, James Jean. And according to him, the picture plays a far greater role in the scene than the flash in the trailer conveys. Which is why we’re just going to sit here and stare at it for a while…

If you weren’t lucky enough to get tickets to The Dark Knight–which you weren’t, if you live here in New York–then you probably haven’t seen the first full-length trailer to director Zach Snyder’s (300) new flick, Watchmen. Based off of the “most celebrated” graphic novel of all time, this movie looks to be the most badass yet. We’re talking amazing. So stop checking out Megan Fox for a minute (actually, two minutes and 16 seconds) for the cinematic orgasm you’re about to experience.

UPDATE: So, we had a bit of misinformation on here earlier, but that’s what you get for writing drunk at 1am. Our bad.
