Arkham Asylum Trailer

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

If DC ever greenlights a movie based on Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum, they needn’t look any further. This Spanish “fake trailer” by Ferran Brooks is simply awesome. And I’m choosing my words carefully.

By carefully imitating the imagery from the graphic novel, Brooks has been able to capture its atmosphere of claustrophobia and mental disturbances. It’s simply one of the best of its kind I’ve ever seen. My only “yeah, but” would be that it just could use that little bit more lighting. But that’s all.

While you’re at it, also check out his trailer to a possible movie based on UK fantasy comic Slaine, The Horned God.

Batman and Robin in Vietnam

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Over on Ethan Persoff’s wonderful site, a bootleg Vietnamese Batman and Robin Comic Book from the 1960’s can be found. This book is clearly inspired by the then popular Batman television series, with an invisible Robin, space ships, villains with gas-spewing skulls on their heads, onomatopaea, totally impossible perspectives and a furthermore unidentified female caped crusader.
