I may be $20 closer to the poor house, but at least everyone will know I’m a bum with style.

This is one of the reasons we began the Officially Cool feature here at FilmSchoolRejects. When we come across amazing art from an amazing artist, it makes us feel all warm and tingly inside…and it makes us empty our wallets.

I’m sure you remember my older officially cool sneaker submissions that included the Freddy Krueger and the Jason Voorhees sneakers. Well now I found something a little more up my alley.

Assembled by the fine folks over at Black20’s Trailer Park, this is one of those cool little offbeat pieces of the Batman universe that you won’t want to have missed.

There’s a scene in The Dark Knight where star Christian Bale stands on a ledge on top of the Sears Tower. Is it real or is it CGI? It’s real; the way director Christopher Nolan likes it and the way he believes an audience should see it.

Over the years, there have been quite a few cute animated couples, and these are the ones that top the list.

I always love a cool desktop for my macbook or my iPhone. Here are some for the movie-lovers out there…

Would Brandon Routh’s Superman stand a chance against the green giant? What about Christian Bale’s Batman? Here who we think might actually stand a chance against the Incredible Hulk from the new film.

I’m not sure why I’m surprised that the creative team behind the viral goodness that is The Dark Knight keep going the extra mile. They’ve proven over and over again that they’re taking the city of Gotham seriously. Almost as seriously as District Attorney candidate Harvey Dent.

My first troubling thought though - ‘Will there be fatalities? So will I see Batman get his head cut off or something? Because I don’t know if I could handle that’.

I took one look at it and I said “Oh my god, I need this!” You can expect it in stores in August, which will probably be the month you have to go on welfare after all the awesome Dark Knight collectibles hit stores.

You can ask any close friend of mine what I would do if I became filthy rich, and it is always the same answer. I would change my name to Bruce Wayne, and I’d buy Tim Burton and Michael Keaton’s Batmobile.

Holy fetish Batman!

After the debacle that was Speed Racer’s opening weekend, it appears that Warner Brothers may be ready to kick marketing for The Dark Knight into high gear.

Toy stores released a rare collectible Heath Ledger as The Joker doll this week. Moments later the dolls were sold out, just like that.

Even without seeing The Dark Knight, we’ve known for a while that a lot of the story is coming from the best Batman origin stories. Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger both mentioned “The Killing Joke” as Joker inspiration, and the focus on Harvey Dent makes “The Long Halloween” an obvious choice for source material.

“I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach…” - Aaron Eckhart. Do we have a picture of what Eckhart was talking about? See for yourself!

Everyone remembers how vintage the original Batman show, and movie are…but what everyone forgets is how really really bad it was.

“I need it just in case Batman was real, and my hometown was in peril.”

Artist Kolby Jukes captures the spirit of Heath Ledger in this ten-inch statue that’ll look right at home on your desk or bookshelf. Assuming you still have room after the last Bat-blitz of merchandising.

After a solid hour of trying calmly to explain the situation, I was reduced to shouting profanities about Jim Gordon and my local police force in the waiting room just as the night was starting to get busy.

So The Dark Knight is only 113 days away, and you don’t know your Carmine Falcone from your Selena Kyle. Should you be publicly and humiliatingly punished? Probably, but the folks over at ComicMix have paid your bail by creating a really cool list of the ‘Batman’ comics you’ll need to brush up on before heading to the box office.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Caped Crusader himself spoke about the possibility of a third Batman flick.

Now that the writer’s strike is over, the Justice League movie has a new lease on life and a new storyline.

Everyone seems to be paying a lot of attention to Heath Ledger’s Joker, but director Christopher Nolan says that we should be watching another character very closely…

So, come 2010 in I Am Legend land, Batman will be facing off against Superman, don’t you wish you could see that?

For the five of you who only read this site, this will be brand new to you.

Many people saw some Dark Knight footage this weekend in front of I Am Legend. So what did you think?

As we anxiously await the online debut of the Dark Knight trailer, we get a two new posters that we are supposed to see, and something else that wasn’t meant to be online yet…

Yesterday it was Batman from behind… Today it’s Heath Ledger.
