I'm incredulous. Geek Pride Day on the Internet is like Empire Pride Day on the Death Star. However, because Geek Pride Day is celebrated on the release date ...

Warner Bros. concludes a weeklong promotional blitz of television commercials and cinema posters with two more banners in support of The Dark Knight Rises, the new Batman film by Christopher Nolan. The latest images continue to spotlight the carnage-in-the-streets-of-Gotham motif of those released throughout the week, setting the stage for what a harrowing, tense, and grim-as-f*** conclusion to ...

We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great images on sites like like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we've created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially ...

The new posters depict each of the principals -- Batman, Catwoman and Bane -- in portraits set against the falling debris and sleet. Unlike the poster released yesterday (which was not happily ...

Following two characteristically chilling teaser images, Warner Bros. has released the first theatrical poster for The Dark Knight Rises, the new Christopher Nolan film based on the Batman character originally created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. The poster maintains the series' tradition of displaying the Batman symbol in violently whimsical ways, and you can see exactly how in the ...

Seven years after the release of the first film based on the popular and award-winning Dark Horse graphic novel series by Frank Miller, we now have an official release date for the long-awaited sequel. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For will open on October 4, 2013, as confirmed by a new teaser poster. Co-directed once again by Miller and Robert Rodriguez, the movie will adapt not just the titular ...
