WTFriday?! - God Damned Batman Tweets!

Source: Twitter

So I messed up guys, two Fridays ago I promised a new running feature, one Friday ago it did not happen. I have failed something fierce but hopefully this awesomeness I am about to share with you can make up for the err of my ways ... hopefully.

There are tons of celebrities that now use Twitter for their own self aggrandizement (See Ashton Kutcher, Jim Carrey and formerly John Mayer) which is totally fine, because there are people who care about how big of a deuce you just laid or how amazing that bran muffin was, I just ain't one of them.

Now there are celebrities that Tweet responsibly and effectively, like Conan O'Brien who launched a nationwide sellout tour with one blurb, and then there are people that everyone should follow on Twitter.

Who? The God Damned Batman is who!

Upon reviewing some of the Dark Knights daily tweets we come to the realization that he is a dick, and not just in the detective sense of the word. But that is OK, because he has embraced that and made it work for him and his nocturnal crime-fighting escapades.

He gives us profound insight into many things that should concern us all. Such as:

• Cinema: "Saw the A-Team. Would've been better if instead of a 'team' it was one man. Dressed like a bat. Who drives a stealth tank."
• Sports: "I'm not saying these World Cup guys aren't in shape, I'd just like to see them play in 50lbs of body armor with limited head motion."
• And of course; Fighting Crime: "If the Joker is a dog chasing cars, I'm the a**hole driving the car who suddenly throws it in reverse."

I will allow you to peruse the rest at your leisure. No, I do not have a Twitter account, but upon discovering The Batman's profile I am seriously considering getting one.

Batman is back in another animated feature that hits shelves on July 27th on both DVD and Blu-ray.

Batman: Under the Red Hood pits the Dark Knight against another mysterious vigilante who may be as efficient as the Batman but does not hold himself to the same strict ethical scruples. Batman is resolves that he must bring down Red Hood in what may prove to be the Caped Crusader's most challenging adversary yet.

The voice talent in this animated adventure is pretty amazing as well with the likes of Neil Patrick Harris along with Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike, Star Trek) voicing Batman. If that wasn't enough this release comes with a bounty of extras sure to delight the detective in you.

Blu-ray and Special Edition DVD Extras Include:

• Digital Copy of Batman: Under the Red Hood
• Featurette: Robin's Requiem: The Tale of Jason Todd
• Two bonus episodes from the first season of Batman: The Animated Series hand picked by creator/artist Bruce Timm

No 3-D for Bats 3?

Breathe a sigh of relief. Cinematographer of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Wally Pfister has no intentions on using a 3-D format in the (still unannounced, but seriously how can it not happen) third installment of the Nolan/Bale Batman franchise.

Pfister actually was very adamant about not shooting in what he calls the "3-D fad" claiming that the format might have worn off by the time the movie is released. He does leave the option of shooting at least some of the film in IMAX, just like the infamous bank robbery scene from The Dark Knight, which for anyone who saw that sequence you know that is good news.

What is known for sure at this point, according to Pfister, is that Bats 3 is going to happen and it will be shot old school on film. Right now there is a tentative release date of sometime in 2012, but seeing as the film is in no farther than pre-preproduction that time frame could easily change.
