A few weeks ago, we talked about an item called “The Batman Files”, a compilation of various documents collected from Bruce Wayne’s travels. We now have an unwrapping video for you guys. Enjoy

“The Batman Files” can be purchased on Amazon here.

Odd question, I know, but if you are playing “Batman: Arkham City”, you may have across this little easter egg that was either placed to get fans talking or may mean more to the future of the franchise.

When we spoke to Paul Dini, writer of BAC, he said he always places subtleties in his comics that will get the fans excited. This may very well be one of those things.

If you played “Batman: Arkham Asylum”, you may have found the secret room with detailed plans of Arkham City. The writers and game designers obviously had planned the future of the franchise and in this case, we could be seeing Harley coming back in a bigger role should there be a future game. And if Paul Dini has his way, there will be.

The easter egg can be found on the desk in the Joker’s Funhouse next to Harley’s outfit from “Batman: Arkham City”. Rumor has it, if you find the test before the game is complete, you can hear Harley singing “Hush Little Baby” (confirm in the comments if you have experienced this) which may indicate that she has already given birth to the Joker’s child…mind blown.

Be sure to listen to our interview with Paul Dini for more about BAC and the future of the franchise.

If you’re in or around the Los Angeles area, or don’t mind making the trip over for the first weekend in November, then make it a point to get to the Los Angeles Convention Center where the Comikaze expo will be bringing you the best in comics, gaming, Sci-Fi, Horror and more!

Comikaze is an affordable expo, at only $12 per person, in which proceeds will be donated to charity. With the San Diego Comic Con just a couple of hours away from Los Angeles, it’s been tough to get a decent convention together for the L.A. based geeks and this may be the opportunity we’ve been waiting for.

Comikaze will have a ton of guests from the comic book, movie and TV industry, including the guests of honor, Stan Lee and Elvira! If that doesn’t excite you, then you should probably just stop visiting our site altogether.

You can read more about the details of the event and attending guests on their site at comikazeexpo.com. We look forward to seeing you there!

In a market over saturated by vampire movies and TV shows, it is not often one stands out from the rest. If you are looking for something a bit off the wall, that I can promise you’ve never seen before, you may just want to check out a dark comedy called “Vamperifica”…my official WTF movie of the Halloween season. This is the gayest vampire film you may ever see, aside from “Twilight”, and I don’t mean that in a derogatory way.

“Vamperifica” begins 200 years ago with an epic tale of a vampire king who was killed only to be reincarnated into an extremely flamboyant college student named Carmen (Martin Yurkovic ) who is unable to land a part in a stage performance that he’s after. After being tailed by 2 vampires, who are trying to make Carmen realize who he really is, he finally embraces his role as a vampire and begins his training as the vampire king.

Carmen utilizes his new found powers to seek revenge on those who have wrong him throughout his life. Though he’s not afraid to feed on humans, he stay’s away from devouring his victims that he “doesn’t like”. This leads to one-liner gems like “don’t you know there are vampires in Africa who have no blood to drink”.

“Vamperifica” may not be the funniest film you see, the acting may not be Oscar calibre and the story is simple, but it’s charming in its own right.

“Vamperifica” is not afraid to poke fun at itself and its genre and, in a way, it makes it a fun experience. With most Halloween movies nowadays being cheesy or campy, “Vamperifica” is a unique holiday movie that is well produced and you may find yourself enjoying it more than you think.

“Vamperifica” was an official selection of the Screamfest 2011 horror film festival.

Featuring the intense melee skills of Nightwing, a.k.a Dick Grayson, the trailer showcases the character’s punishing arsenal of fighting moves that can be used against Arkham City’s hardened thugs.  Nightwing comes complete with his own unique gadgets and special moves, and is playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that are included with the pack: Wayne Manor and Main Hall. The pack also contains a bonus Animated Series Nightwing character skin.

The Nightwing Bundle Pack will be available November 1 on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for 560 Microsoft Points and PlayStation®Network for $6.99.  The Robin Bundle Pack will also become available on November 22 to all owners of the game for the same price.

Mark Hammil, who is known to everybody as the beloved Luke Skywalker from the (real) “Star Wars” trilogy and The Joker from the hit 1992 “Batman: The Animated Series”, has just announced that he will be retiring as the voice of The Joker following the release of the hit game, “Batman: Arkham City”.

Hammil has solidified his decision in a Tweet this week stating:

Hello/Goodbye Joker! I’ve enjoyed every minute behind the wheel of the [Clown] Prince’s crazy car – I’m going to miss him more than I can say!!

We all will miss Mark’s incredible voice talent as the Clown Prince of Crime but Hammil is doing something that most actors tend not to do…go out while they are still on top. Now that “Batman: Arkham City” has topped over 4.5 million copies sold, you really can’t be any higher.

There is still a slight chance we may hear Hammil’s Joker again and according to another one of his Tweets, if DC or Warner Bros. decides to make Alan Moore’s “The Killing Joke” an animated feature, he would happily return for the project. With a classic story like “The Killing Joke”, I can’t imagine it NOT being brought back as an animated feature.
