Possible Arkham City sequel names?

A few months ago, Warner Bros had released a statement about the next game based in The Arkham Universe and revealed that it would in fact be a prequel, exploring The Caped Crusaders and The Clown Prince of Crime's history. They had also said it would be based around The Silver Age timeline.
Warner Bros have revealed possible names for this. We don't know whether or not they are movie titles for a Batman movie reboot, but I highly doubt it:

arkhamuniverse.com (Arkham Universe) 
batmanarkahmuniverse.com (Batman Arkham Universe) 
batmanarkhamarises.com (Batman Arkham Arises) 
batmanarkhambegins.com (Batman Arkham Begins) 
batmanarkhamdarkknight.com (Batman Arkham Dark Knight) 
batmanarkhamknight.com (Batman Arkham Knight) 
batmanarkhamlegend.com (Batman Arkham Legend) 
batmanarkhamlegends.com (Batman Arkham Legends) 
batmanarkhamnight.com (Batman Arkham Night) 
batmanarkhamorigins.com (Batman Arkham Origins) 
batmanarkhamstories.com (Batman Arkham Stories) 
darkknightarkham.com (Dark Knight Arkham) 
dcarkhamuniverse.com (DC Arkham Universe) 
dcarkhamverse.com (DC Arkhamverse) 
thearkhamuniverse.com (The Arkham Universe)

These don't necessarily sound like movie titles, but who knows!

I have also discovered on wikipedia that the next Batman game title is in fact Batman: Project Gotham. 

Could Batman: Project Gotham be the next in The Arkham series or just a completely different thing?
And what about the Arkham names (courtesy of Comic Book)?

Sound off below.

James McAvoy is interested in playing Gandalf in Silmarillion

Apparently James McAvoy is a Tolkien fan. 
The X-Men: First Class, Scottish actor revealed this, while talking with Total Film. Along with informing about him wanting to become part of The Middle Earth franchise and wield the staff of one of the most famous of fictional Wizards, Gandalf The Grey!
McAvoy added this: “I’d like to play Gandalf. It’s called The Silmarillion! It’s a collection of poems and songs that chart the ancient history of Middle-earth. My true geek is coming to the fore, but they’re really, really beautiful stories. In part of that is the genesis of Gandalf, or Mithrandir, or Stormcrow, or any of his many, many names. Anyway, maybe that’s the one!”

The are currently no plans on bringing an adaptation of 'The Silmarillion' onto the Big Screen, but with the success of all the Tolkien adaptations there is a possibility for this to be done.
Although McAvoy is a great choice to me personally, but shouldn't it be Fassbender?

What do you think?

Gandalf demands you shall not pass without commenting!

New MAN OF STEEL image rises, featuring Henry Cavill as Superman




Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel is now six months away, and with the recent release of the trailer for the movie, hype is at its peak.
We have only been able to receive two trailers, two posters and one official image, but we can now add one more official image to that list, thanks to USA Today.
Although the image is rather scarce, it looks good nonetheless.

Check it out:




This movie will be released on July 14th. The Man of Steel cast includes Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne, Christoper Miloni and Harry Lennix.

Batman Rogues gallery combined?!

Batman has probably the most well known villains in comic book history, but what would it be if all of these popular villains were combined? Well Gingashi over at Deviantart has done just that.

HARLEY QUINN AND THE VENTRILOQUIST







































THE JOKER AND THE RIDDLER







































POISON IVY AND CATWOMAN




First clip from THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PART 2 released!

Warner Bros is set to release their second of three scheduled movies by the end of this month. This movie is none other that The Dark Knight Returns Part 2!
This sequel to The Dark Knight Returns part 1 will be set immediately after the events of the first. The first received positive reviews and I therefore hope the same for this one.
This one, like the first is based on Frank Miller's epic Batman tale, The Dark Knight Strikes.

WB has released a short clip from the movie to promote the release. It features Batman beating the pulp out of over a dozen Cops (still seems like a fair fight).


The movie will be released in stores on January 29th, on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download. 
The cast includes Peter Weller, Michael Emerson, Mark Valley, David Selby, Ariel Winter and Maria Canals- Barrera.
