CBP AudioBoo #10 - Batman One-Shots

As Pittsburgh embraces the filming of The Dark Knight Rises, Dang embraces the back issue bin and digs up some little-known or forgotten Batman stories from a few years ago.

First Look: The Batwing from The Dark Knight Rises

Here's a great shot of the Batwing as it "flies" through the streets of Pittsburgh...

Batman in the Burgh!

Check out this great strip by Pittsburgh's own Dynamic Duo, Marcel Walker and Wayne Wise.

#68 - Marvelized!

There is a lot of summer movie conversation and a heavy concentration of Marvel titles are discussed.

NEW CONTEST!

Our new host needs a nickname, but to make things more fun, we all want new nicknames. The twist is, they have to be in the style of the old Marvel Bullpen as perfected by Stan 'The Man' Lee. He annointed creators with such names as Merry Gerry Conway, Gentleman Gene Colan (or Gene 'the Dean' Colan), Sturdy Steve Ditko, Rascally Roy Thomas, Jazzy John Romita and of course, Jack 'King' Kirby.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with the best nicknames for Dan, Scott and Jeff.

The deadline is 12:00am, July 31st, 2011. Email your submissions to comicbookpitt@gmail.com.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Teaser Trailer

It's been a great time to be a fanboy. First, we had the teaser for The Dark Knight Rises, then we got our first look at Season 2 of The Walking Dead, then the post-credit scene from Captain America was leaked online featuring our first look at The Avengers and now the official teaser for The Amazing Spider-Man has hit the internet.

I'll be the first to admit, despite the sheer star power in this movie, I wasn't thrilled about a reboot, but I'll also admit that this teaser has me a little excited.

I still hate the new costume though.

The Dark Knight Rises: Teaser Trailer

I always thought Bane was a joke in the comics, so I'm really intrigued to see what Christopher Nolan does with him in the movie.
