Christopher Nolan talked about the third installment of his Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival where he was presented with the Modern Master Award for Inception on Sunday night.


ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype attended the event and sat in on the tribute to the director at the Arlington Theatre in downtown Santa Barbara where Nolan said he saw Aliens years ago.

We listened in as moderator Pete Hammond asked where he got the title from and Nolan joked, "I banged my head against the wall."

The audience laughed and then Nolan went on to say, "We've worked on it a long time - David Goyer and myself. We're about 12 weeks away from shooting. We start in May."

It's been known that Nolan wasn't sure if he was going to do another film or not, so when Hammond asked why he decided to do a third one, he simply said, "It was about finishing the story."

Nolan still wouldn't confirm whether Anne Hathaway would play Catwoman or just Selina Kyle. When asked, he smiled coyly and wouldn't say a word.

The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled to open in theaters on July 20, 2012.

At the same time Nolan will be directing The Dark Knight Rises, he and his wife/producing partner Emma Thomas will also be working on the new Zack Snyder-directed Superman film, which will star the newly-announced Henry Cavill and hits theaters in December of 2012.

More update on Kamen Rider W Returns!

Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel;

Commander Dopant is able to create an endless amount of Masked Soldiers. Commander Dopant calls the criminals of Futo garbage and his "mission" is to clean up this garbage. Aoi Kuzuki's father seems to have some relation to the Commander Dopant.


The Commander Dopant can achieve a stronger form (right) by using the Gaia Memory Enhancing Adapter, which makes any memory 3 times stronger. It gains more speed and strength putting Kamen Rider Accel in a pinch! And as revealed in our previous posts, Ryu can also use this to upgrade into Kamen Rider Accel Booster.



Up next is Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Eternal. Kamen Rider W is still fighting against the remaining Dopants, and suddenly a woman holding psychic powers appears. Her name is Miina (played by Rin Takanashi). She has come to Futo in order to avenge Katsumi Daido's defeat in W FOREVER: AtoZ/Gaia Memories of Fate.



According to Miina, "Katsumi was going to save us from hell." To her, Katsumi Daido was everyone's hero. She then tells the story of Katsumi Daido's heroic past, which leads to the formation of NEVER and Kamen Rider Eternal.

Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel will be released on April 21 while Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Eternal will be released on July 21.

Shokotan appeared in a manga she recently read! LOL

She is depicted as being slightly off-kilter, saying only nonsense. Nakagawa found it so hilarious that the remainder of her blog post consisted of repeating her only lines in the manga and deploring her overly-realistic upper lip.

China`s "famous" orange Gundam has reappeared with modifications!

It`s new look. LOL!!!


Floraland (Chengdu Guosetianxiang), an amusement park in the central Chinese province of Sichuan, had erected the statue last year, and then insisted that it was "not an imitation but an original [design]. It is not an copy of Gundam, but a design we came up with."

A public relations representative added last December, "Since there are reports of similarities, we are currently working on modifications." Days later, the statue was suddenly removed, and park officials denied the existence of the statue to the news agency Agence France-Presse. The park's website also removed the image of the statue from one of its pages.

Plot details for Let`s Go Kamen Riders has been revealed but it is yet to be confirmed whether this is real or fake:

40 years ago, the Kamen Rider Riders were defeated by Shocker, due to the time alteration by the Mole Imagin. Shocker has been ruling over the world since then. Kamen Rider OOO, NEW Den-O and Ankh has been crucified and are standing before the population of Japan.

The three of them are about to be publicly executed, Ankh goes to possess Momotaros. The one ordering the execution is General Shadow and he calls for Kamen Rider #1 and #2 to do the execution. It seems like the two of them are working for Shocker now. When it’s time for execution the Boy Rider Squad shows up and gives the Riders their belts.

It’s then revealed that Kamen Rider #1 and #2 had broken the brainwashing a long time ago and instead of executing them, they release them. Together the five Kamen Riders fight against Shocker.

The movie will be released on April 1.

Warner Bros. Animation has officially released an official image of the new series of Thundercats. Well, the new design looks like a Japanese version of Thundercats to me! =___=

According to WBA, roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime(no wonder), “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.

The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.

“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.
