This weekend movie theaters everywhere will be running the trailer for the final act of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. The trailer is intended to play before screenings of The Avengers, so if you’re out for one of the biggest comic adaptations of the year, you’ll get a taste of the other.

But as you can see by this post, Warner Bros has graciously gone ahead and posted the trailer online for us to watch on our computer monitors and cell phones. I haven’t watched it yet, trying to save it for the theater. If I crack today and look at it, I’ll post in the comments all my thoughts and reactions.

Many fans were hesitant, to say the least, when the New 52 reboot was announced (including us: listen to our podcast about it). Six months and six issues later, how is the DC Universe doing?

Here are the top five things the New 52 does right:

DC Comics has announced that the Second Wave of the New 52 relaunch will start in May 2012 with the addition of six new ongoing titles. The six new titles are BATMAN INCORPORATED, EARTH 2, WORLDS’ FINEST, DIAL H, G.I. COMBAT, and THE RAVAGERS.

There it is, folks. The latest teaser poster for the Dark Knight Rises. This is the last and final movie starring Christian Bale as Batman. Bane will be played by Tom Hardy, while Catwoman will be portrayed by Anne Hathaway. The Dark Knight Rises will arrive in theaters on July 20, 2012.

In 2009, Rocksteady developed the first good Batman game since the 16-bit days (okay, it was that but…) the best Batman game in recent history (okay, it was that too but…) the definitive Batman game (it was that until Arkham City was released earlier this fall) the second best Batman game ever. By taking cues from Bioshock, Metroid, and some of Marvel’s recent games, Batman Arkham Asylum puts players in the role of the Caped Crusader in a way that few games have done before. By presenting its own visual style and providing tons of fan service, Batman Arkham Asylum becomes one of the best comic-inspired games of this console generation.

aDam, Ernie, Zac, and Zero go off topic for an hour.

We’ll talk about Black Friday, Wikipedia, Rugrats, Super Mario, Saints Row The Third, Gears of War, Batman, and much more.

Let us know if you think this episode was not as good, just as good, or better than previous episodes. Because we didn’t plan this one at all and if we can avoid that in the future, we can save a lot of time.
