Anyone else excited about next year's Batman Begins? I think the title is a little lame (hopefully it's a working title) but it looks like it will be interesting. They say they have moved away from the look and tone of the past movies and will be doing a complete "reboot" of the film franchise...

I was flipping channels this morning and caught Pip & Pop on CH TV in Hamilton, Ontario. They were on the morning news shows promoting BITBBH Live with someone from VEE and giving away tickets. Did anyone else up here catch it? I didn't have time to tape it.

Check this out, it's pretty spiffy. I found it via Tough Pigs. It's a really nice, well done photo comic in the tradition of the ones that always get run in Wizard and ToyFare. The same people who did this also have something called Statler & Waldorf's Insult-O-Matic which is kind of clever.

Has anyone seen this? I got Kermit. :)
