<img alt="Batman Superman Movie Logo Worlds Finest Batman/Superman Film to Follow Man of Steel; Will Release in 2015 [CONFIRMED]" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-339475" height="300" src="http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Batman-Superman-Movie-Logo-Worlds-Finest.jpg" title="Batman/Superman Film to Follow Man of Steel; Will Release in 2015 [CONFIRMED]" width="570" /><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the more playful Easter Eggs in <em>Man of Steel</em>
– a quick shot of a satellite with the “Wayne Enterprises” logo –
alludes to the existence of Bruce Wayne in that film’s universe, but the
introduction of the character also makes sense from a thematic
perspective. <em>Man of Steel</em> director Zack Snyder has suggested that the sequel will have to address the collateral damage from
Superman’s battle against General Zod and his minions on Earth;
meaning, the next chapter in Cavill-as-Kal-El’s story will be smaller in
scale – relatively-speaking – and ought to examine the character from a
different perspective (e.g. through the eyes of an everyman).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What better way to do that than by
introducing Batman – the one regular mortal human member of the Justice
League – into Superman’s world next, as opposed to one of the other
deity-like DC superheroes?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the
WB/Legendary panel, Zack Snyder took the stage to announce the project.
He then handed the microphone over to Harry Lennix (General Swanwick
from <em>Man of Steel</em>), who recited the following quote from the comic book “The Dark Knight Returns“:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I want you to remember Clark, in all the years to come. In all your
private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I
want you to remember, the one man who beat you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thereafter, the Batman/Superman logo was shown and geek pandemonium broke out in Hall H. Here it is:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="superman batman movie comic con Batman/Superman Film to Follow Man of Steel; Will Release in 2015 [CONFIRMED]" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-339500" height="300" src="http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/superman-batman-movie-comic-con.jpg" style="display: block;" title="Batman/Superman Film to Follow Man of Steel; Will Release in 2015 [CONFIRMED]" width="570" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, here is the official press release from WB:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The current hit, “Man of Steel,” has taken
in more than $630 million at the worldwide box office to date, and
climbing. Along with its star, Henry Cavill, the upcoming film brings
back Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane. The new Batman has
yet to be cast.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen
the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an
anticipated release date in Summer 2015.<br />
<br />
Silverman stated, “Zack Snyder is an incredibly talented filmmaker,
but beyond that, he’s a fan first and he utterly gets this genre. We
could not think of anyone better suited to the task of bringing these
iconic Super Heroes to the screen in his own way.” Kroll added, “We are
thrilled to be back in business with Zack and his team on this next
movie. The success of ‘Man of Steel’ is a wonderful testament to the
love and support that both fans and new audiences, worldwide, have for
these characters. We are very excited to see what Zack has in store for
all of us.”<br />
<br />
Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment, noted, “Superman and
Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans
everywhere. All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for
Zack’s continuing vision for the DC Universe.”<br />
<br />
Zack Snyder, who made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con today,
breaking the news to audiences there, later said, “I’m so excited to
begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I
can’t wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter. Let’s face
it, it’s beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing
off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world.”<br />
<br />
The new film brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as
producers. This time, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as
executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.<br />
<br />
Thomas offered, “Whilst our ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy is complete, we
have every confidence that Zack’s fresh interpretation will take the
character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman
opened the door to a whole new universe and we can’t wait to see what
Zack does with these characters.”</div>

It still blows my mind that Joffrey is the same kid that Batman ran into in Batman Begins. Now he is super evil ruling Westeros from King's Landings. This image is very true, while there are some very big villains there, there is no one as evil as him. <br />

Barbie cant help looking great, she is manufactured that way.<br />
<br />
But what if the doll that has been setting unrealistically high beauty standards for girls since 1959 was a real person?<br />
<br />
Well, for one thing, if Barbie was real flesh and blood she wouldnt look SO perfect in the morning.<br />
<br />
Imgur user Eddi Aguirre went ahead and created what Barbie would look like without her usual make up.<br />
<br />
As you can see, Barbie now has pale lips, freckles, dark circles under her eyes and braces. Her hair is also somewhat frazzled. So we can guess that this is Barbie without access to soap and water lol<br />

<span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;">“The world ain’t saving itself.” </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;">That line, a call to arms, is attributed to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation character. And Johnson knows a thing or two about “saving.” After attempting to launch his own action franchises with movies like The Rundown and Doom, D.J. discovered a new calling in the film industry: he’s the elixir brought in to “heal” franchises that have lost their way. Plug The Rock into Journey to the Center of the Earth or Fast & Furious sequels, and all of a sudden, the series are much improved. Johnson works his magic on G.I. Joe, resuscitating the franchise after the corny Rise of Cobra and setting the series on an ass-kicking track. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;">Hoping to capitalize on The Rock’s new found healing powers, I cooked up five film franchises in need of an energy boost that would be well served by adding Johnson for a subsequent sequel.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></span></span>
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;">1. Terminator </b><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></span></span>
<img alt="The Rock terminator" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/36654/_1364504497.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
And I’m not saying cast Dwayne Johnson as a different version of John Connor (as Terminator: Salvation did with Christian Bale), or ask The Rock to play Schwarzenegger’s T-800. Just write it as a sequel that somehow touches on a plot where future freedom fighters have to contend with another breed of Terminator machines, and Johnson plays a completely different character unassociated with the existing stories who must rise up and defeat the mechanical threat. The later Terminator movies were too beholden to Connor’s mythology. There are hundreds of stories that could be told in the Terminator universe, and one of them should find room for The Rock.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;">2. Jurassic Park</b><br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></b>
<img alt="The Rock Jurassic Park" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/36654/_1364504319.jpg" /><br />
<br />
It’s simple math. Dwayne Johnson + Dinosaurs = Box Office Gold. The actor has proven he can hold down big-budget, effects-driven sequels (see Fast Five or Retaliation for examples). He danced with dinosaurs in the family-friendly Journey 2, but probably wants to upgrade to the more sophisticated models director Colin Trevorrow will be bringing to Jurassic Park 4. One way Universal could secure an instant interest in a fourth Park movie would be to add Johnson’s name to the movie’s poster … then have him fight a T-Rex in the movie’s stunning finale!<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;">3. Star Wars</b><br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></b>
<img alt="The Rock Star Wars" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/36654/_1364504486.jpg" /><br />
<br />
This one’s a bit of a trick, as Rock recently admitted that he wants a crack at a Star Wars sequel, especially now that J.J. Abrams is at the helm. When I interviewed Retaliation director Jon M. Chu at the G.I. Joe press day, he started the ball rolling on a “Rock for Boba Fett” campaign. Adding Johnson to the Star Wars universe sounds like a no-brainer … if only because adding him to ANY franchise is a no-brainer at this point. Whether it’s in Episode VII or as part of standalone movie is unclear, but Disney could make a bold step in the right direction by casting Johnson as a Jedi hero – or even a Sith warlord.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;">4. Pirates of the Caribbean</b><br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></b>
<img alt="The Rock Pirates of the Caribbean" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/36654/_1364504338.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
One aspect of Johnson’s personality that’s often overlooked is his humor. I get it. The man’s built like a small mountain. You want to see him butting heads with Vin Diesel or fighting alongside Bruce Willis. But The Rock’s genuinely funny, and a collaboration with Johnny Depp could showcase that side of the performer. We know a fifth Pirates movie is in the pipeline. Wouldn’t you like to see Capt. Jack Sparrow locking rum-soaked horns with a pirate legend played by The Rock?<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;">5. Die Hard </b><br />
<b style="background-color: #fdc150; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: large; line-height: 18.1875px;"><br /></b>
<img alt="The Rock Die Hard" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/36654/_1364504292.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I hear you. A Good Day to Die Hard snuffed out any interest you had in seeing the future adventures of John McClane on screen. But what if Willis were able to recruit his G.I. Joe co-star for a future installment. And what if Johnson agreed to play the villain … a charismatic psychopath with a personal vendetta against McClane who brought fear and pain back into the beleaguered cop’s life. Willis hasn’t had a worthy adversary since Simon had him jumping through hoops in With a Vengeance. The Rock could bring personality and physicality to a sixth Die Hard movie. Hey, it couldn’t be worse than A Good Day, and if they decided to give it a shot, I think most of us would be on board.</div>

Keeping up with the lunar theme of posts, do you guys remember Pirates of the Caribbean? In the movie the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship would come out in the mortal world when a green flash occurred. Well to be quite fair I have seen quite a few green flashes (took bucket loads of patience & free time) but I have yet to witness the Flying Dutchman yet.<br />

Green flashes are optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible, usually for no more than a second or two, above the sun,
or it may resemble a green ray shooting up from the sunset point. Green
flashes are a group of phenomena stemming from different causes, and
some are more common than others.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-young_0-0"><span></span><span></span></sup> Green flashes may be observed from any altitude (even from an aircraft). They usually are seen at an unobstructed horizon, such as over the ocean, but are possible over cloud tops and mountain tops as well. <br />
<br />

There are many different types of green flash. Some describe a streak or ray
of the colour green … like a green flame shooting up from the sunrise or
sunset horizon. The most common green flash, which many people
describe, is a flash of the colour green seen when the sun is nearly
entirely below the horizon. <br />
<br />
You can see green flashes with the eye, when sky conditions are just
right, if you are looking toward a very clear and very distant horizon.
That’s why those who see green flashes most often see them over a sea
horizon. You also must be looking just at sunset, <em>at the last moment</em> before the sun disappears below the horizon. And you have to <em>be careful not to look too soon</em>.
Wait until just the thinnest rim of the sun appears above the horizon.
If you look too soon, the light of the sunset will dazzle <em>(or damage)</em> your eyes, and you’ll miss that day’s green flash.<br />
<br />
Bottom line: The green flash is legendary, and some people have told us
they thought it was a myth, like a unicorn or a pot of gold at the end
of a rainbow. But green flashes are very real. You need a distant and
very clear horizon to see them at the last moment before the sun
disappears below the horizon at sunset. <br />

Last weekend provided the full Moon’s closest approach of the
year to Earth. On Saturday, May 5, 2012 the Moon appeared as much as
14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012, according to
some calculations.<br />

Every month, as the Moon circles the Earth in
its elongated orbit, its distance from the Earth varies. Last weekend,
the Moon reached what’s known as its <strong>perigee</strong>, the closest point to Earth in its orbit. It was about <strong>356,953 kilometers (221,802 miles) from Earth</strong> on Saturday. Apogee — when the Moon is farthest away — varies, but is around 405,000 km (252,000 miles) away.<br />

<br />
Manson's no stranger to resurrection or reinvention. Every successive
album has seen hard rock's smartest and savviest villain reborn in some
manner. He went from the apocalyptic industrial metal of 1996's now
classic <i>Antichrist Superstar</i> to the theatrical glam dream of <i>Mechanical Animals</i>. He came off the <i>Holy Wood</i> cross and became brutally burlesque for <i>The Golden Age of Grotesque</i> and then he ventured inside himself for <i>Eat Me, Drink Me</i> and <i>The High End of Low</i>.<br /><br />
Now, he's arrived at the aptly titled <i>Born Villain</i>. And thank god for that as due to the ill-advised crooning on <em>Eat Me, Drink Me</em>, to the hit-and-miss <em>The High End Of Low</em>, Manson had been treading water. The God of Fuck was in serious danger of becoming The God of Fuck-All.<br />
<br />
There's thankfully none of that lighters-in-the-air singy nonsense of the last two records. Lead single <strong>'No Reflection'</strong>
lays things out nicely. Plenty of crunchy guitar, Manson's wails and
croaks, waves of guitar, guns, razors, death, pain and some
classic/terrible MM puns ("This will hurt you worse than me/ I'm weak,
seven days, I'm weak"). <br /><br />Elsewhere, they gleefully plough that
glam-metal-industrial-rock furrow that gave the group that classic
late-'90s trilogy of albums, granted without any of that famous
in-your-face shock value nor the same quality of tunes. It starts
strongly, opener <strong>'Hey, Cruel World'</strong> having a nicely
shouty chorus built for some fist-pumping live performances ("We don't
need your faith / We've got fucking fate / Fate! / Fate! / Fate!")<br /><br />The half-spoken <strong>'The Gardener'</strong>
bounces along like a demented poetry reading with some good
old-fashioned claims to outsiderdom ("I'm not man enough to be human /
But I'm trying to fit in / And I'm learning to fa-fa-fake it"). <strong>'Overneath The Path Of Misery'</strong>
opens with a delightfully portentous reading from Macbeth's "sound and
fury" soliloquy before culminating in some ear-splitting squeals.<br />
<br />
Johnny Depp (yes the same fella who is best known as Captain Jack Sparrow) appears on a pointless cover of Carly Simon's <strong>'You're So Vain'</strong>
tacked on as a bonus track. Has Manson ever recorded a decent cover
apart from the better-than-the-original 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of
This)'?<br /><br />There's some filler, some woefully underwritten tracks and some complete guff, and while <em>Born Villain</em> doesn't have anything near as wonderful as 2009's best rock moment 'Arma...geddon', it's much, <em>much</em> more fun than <em>The High End of Low</em>
as a whole. Yeah, the original trilogy (<i>Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals </i>&<i> Holy Wood</i>) remains untouched and perhaps a decade of
diminishing returns has nudged us to think of this record kindly, but
all-in-all Manson and friends have clawed back enough of that primal
energy that made MM such a draw.<br />
<br />
In the end if I were to rate it, the new Manson brainchild will get a<b> 4 out of 5</b>.<br />

<b><i>The Avengers</i></b> has arrived in theaters and brings Iron Man, Thor and Captain America amongst others, together to battle a great evil force. The reviews - so far - have been great (even my sister & her hubby in UK are raving about it) and the film promises to kick off summer in a big way.<br />
<br />
But
this isn't the movie that I'm most excited about this summer. Not by a
long shot. The most-anticipated movie of the summer according to me (or maybe more fan boys like me) is <i>The Dark Knight Rises</i> - the eagerly-anticipated final chapter in the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy.<br />
<br />
So you must be wondering why am I being all excited about Batman's latest outing. Here are my reasons due to which I'm looking forward more to Batman returning to the big screen than I am about Marvel's <i>The Avengers</i> avenging the earth in the time long battle of (superhero) good against (supervillian) evil.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>The Story</b></i></span> <br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXoQvO0fC9KGexhMaSHD_ozs6sGh58igQt_3YXmaMfqmBKtzypj8_2UfMKb1GFRak2d3MFM5NKO7l4WLd4EzCcircIOK1UGDaXjK2N5UUVThdSQLbY3oHyeBfhwQ4swfYAAmAW6P6IA_c/s1600/Batman-and-Bane-in-The-Dark-Knight-Rises.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXoQvO0fC9KGexhMaSHD_ozs6sGh58igQt_3YXmaMfqmBKtzypj8_2UfMKb1GFRak2d3MFM5NKO7l4WLd4EzCcircIOK1UGDaXjK2N5UUVThdSQLbY3oHyeBfhwQ4swfYAAmAW6P6IA_c/s320/Batman-and-Bane-in-The-Dark-Knight-Rises.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
I haven't seen <i>The Avengers</i> yet (awaiting its arrival at Pakistan's cinemas on 11th of May) and I assume that it will have a
great story. But in many ways, it's going to be an origin story more
than anything else. The film has to establish the team coming together
and working as one unit for the masses yet unaware of the Avengers and their formation. Nolan's Batman origin story was already told in
<i>Batman Begins</i>. The director then IMPROVED upon that in the masterful follow up <i>The Dark Knight</i>. Who knows what will await viewers of this third film?<br />
<br />
<i>The Dark Knight</i>
ended with a thought-provoking climax as Batman made a decision that
few others would be willing to make: Instead of revealing the true
motivations of the late Harvey Dent (Two-Face), the Caped Crusader opted to paint
himself as the villain so that the citizens of Gotham would still
idolize their hero (Dent) and not have the unfortunate reality undermine
their idealism.<br />
<br />
Now, in this final chapter, it will be
interesting to see how Batman can thrive as a hero even though the
people of Gotham view him as a monster. This dichotomy -
between Batman's public persona and his private heroism-- will likely
set the stage for a great story about nobility and honor in the face of
criticism and hatred.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>The Cast</b></i></span><br />
<br />
If you put the cast of <i>The Avengers</i> together for a photo shoot, it would provide a great cover for GQ. If you put the cast of <i>The Dark Knight Rises</i> together for a photo shoot, it would include some of the finest actors working today.<br />

There's no arguing with the fact that <i>The Avengers</i>
offers up a strong cast - with Robert Downey Jr. as the best of the
bunch. But many of the other actors composing the cast are younger
performers who haven't established themselves as great actors quite yet -
whereas the Christopher Nolan Batman films offer up one of the
strongest casts ever in comic book movie.<br />
<br />
Four of the main actors in <i>TDKR</i>
(Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Marion Cotillard)
have all won Oscars for their acting skills. Additionally, the film's
supporting cast includes the massively-talented combination of Tom
Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Oscar-nominees Gary Oldman and Anne
Hathaway. This is an incredible cast - not only for a superhero movie,
but for any film in general.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Themes</span></b></i><br />
<br />
I have seen <i>Captain America</i>. And<i> Thor</i>. And <i>Iron Man</i> and <i>Iron Man 2</i>. Even <i>Hulk</i> & the reboot <i>The Incredible Hulk</i>. And I thoroughly enjoyed every single of them. Overall, the <i>Avengers</i> lead-in films have had something to offer audiences.<br />
<br />
But none of their themes compares to <i>The Dark Knight</i>,
which tried to be much more than a typical superhero film. Not only
were the special effects great, but the story itself offered a thematic
depth that other superhero movies haven't yet matched. <i>TDK</i>
wasn't just about a hero fighting evil. It also spoke to the dichotomy
between good and evil that exists in all of us, and focused on the
Joker's distorted view of human morality.<br />

<br />
When a boatload of
innocents faced off against a group of prison inmates and had to choose
whether or not to sacrifice the other in order to survive, the movie
forced audiences to think about their own visions of good versus
evil. Let's hope that <i>Rises</i> is half as thought-provoking and deep as its predecessor.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>The Director</b></i></span><br />
<br />
For some, Joss Whedon can do no wrong. The creator of <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</i>, <i>Angel </i>and <i>Firefly (and off shoot movie Serenity) </i>has a hardcore fan base that has loved much of the work he has done behind the camera. In addition to writing films like <i>Cabin in the Woods</i>, Whedon has directed episodes of <i>Buffy</i>, <i>Angel</i> and <i>Firefly</i> and the film <i>Serenity</i>.<br />

<br />
But
it doesn't compare to Christopher Nolan. Nolan has created a series of
unforgettable films over the past dozen years. From 2000's <i>Memento</i> to 2002's <i>Insomnia</i>, from 2006's <i>The Prestige</i> to 2010's <i>Inception</i>,
this director has created several masterful works (not including the Batman films). And he is also the guiding force as Producer & writer for another DC's hot property Superman in <i>Man of Steel</i>. He knows how to
develop strong stories, use special effects smartly, and show viewers a
great time at the theater. That ability can't be under-estimated.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>The Villian</b></i></span><br />
<br />
From what I've seen of <i>The Avengers</i> so far in trailers and
clips, it looks like their greatest nemesis will be Thor's boring
brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Admittedly I haven't seen the film yet,
so I'm not sure what Loki's abilities look like or how much of an
opponent he will be for the team of superheroes.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">BANE! Enough said hehe</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
That being said, Batman's nemesis in <i>The Dark Knight Rises</i> is Bane and the film's trailers - especially the awe-inspiring latest one -
have focused on this evil terrorist. From blowing up a football field
full of players, to bringing Batman to his knees, this monster could be
the greatest threat that Gotham has ever faced. One must remember that in the world of DC comics, Bane is the only villian so far who has broken The Bat (literally breaking his back bone) after systematically wearing him down by making him chase all of Arkham's inmates who he has freed. And Tom Hardy, who is quickly establishing himself as an A-lister, seems to be great for the role.<br />
<br />
Let's
remember that Batman's previous enemy The Joker was portrayed by Heath
Ledger, who won a posthumous Academy Award for his unforgettable
performance. Bane might not match up to that, but I think Hardy will
create a great and memorable adversary. Case in point: people have
already started parroting their favorite Bane quotes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Conclusion</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<i>The Avengers</i> has opened to massive box
office numbers, as was expected. But in a few months, I think people will forget it as
they focus on the true superhero of the summer: <b>Batman</b>.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I know a lot of Pakistanis don't believe in the existence of UFOs or aliens but could the nation's latest tragedy be caused by an UFO?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Well according to some unconfirmed reports that's what happened. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Reports have suggested that the apparent cause of the
deadly Bhoja Air's Boeing 737-200 crash in Islamabad could have been due to a UFO
sighting by the pilot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A
Russian news report by 1TV.RU covering the crash (which was also posted on YouTube) incorporates footage
of three mysterious lights moving in formation, leading to a heightened speculation
in the UFO community that extra-terrestrial craft could be blamed for the tragic accident.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">According to another source at Gather.com, there
are rumours that the pilot may have been buzzed by the object and
that he complained to the control tower at Islamabad's Benazir airport as he made his
approach.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The object in question (pictured above) seen on the video footage resembles the class of UFO known as the "Black Triangle". </span>Reports generally describe this class of UFOs as enormous, silent, black
triangular objects, hovering or slowly cruising at low altitudes over
cities and highways, usually at night and making no attempt to evade
detection. These objects are often described as having "running lights",
either bright white lights or pulsing coloured lights that appear at
each corner of the triangle. Such lights can be seen in the footage and the frame taken from the footage as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Black Triangle UFOs have been reported numerous times in recent years but never have they been reported as a cause of a crash. They were seen during the 1989-1990 Belgian UFO wave, the 1997 Phoenix Lights incident & January 2000 Illinois incident.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The Belgian UFO wave peaked with the events of the night of 30/31
March 1990. On that night Control Reporting Centre received calls that three unusual lights were seen in the sky. The lights were reported to be brighter than stars, changing colour
between red, green and yellow, and appeared to be fixed at the vertices's
of an equilateral triangle.<br />

In the meantime the patrol reported in that they confirm the sightings. These unknown objects were even tracked on radar and two F-16s were scrambled from the Beauvechain Air Base.<br />
Over the next hour the two scrambled F-16s attempted nine separate
interceptions of the targets. On three occasions they managed to obtain a
radar lock for a few seconds but each time the targets changed position
and speed so rapidly that the lock was broken. During the first radar
lock, the target accelerated from 240 km/h to over 1,770 km/h while
changing altitude from 2,700 m to 1,500 m, then up to 3,350 m before
descending to almost ground level – the first descent of more than 900 m
taking less than two seconds. Similar manoeuvres were observed during
both subsequent radar locks. On no occasion were the F-16 pilots able to
make visual contact with the targets and at no point, despite the
speeds involved, was there any indication of a sonic boom.<br />

After chased
by two Belgian Air Force F-16's, the UFOs were photographed and sighted by an
estimated 13,500 people on the ground – 2,600 of whom filed written
statements describing in detail what they had seen. Finally at around 01:30 the lights started making jerky movements and began gradually loosing luminosity & disappeared.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Black triangles are often the subject of much speculation in the 'ufology community' and various conspiracy theories, as well as more skeptical hypotheses. Common explanations include:<br />
<br />
- craft of extra-terrestrial origin,<br />
- top-secret military aircraft containing suppressed or reverse-engineered anti-gravity technology (and could this anti-gravity be the cause of the 737 loosing altitude and crashing),<br />
- misidentifications of one or more conventional aircraft such as B-2 Spirit stealth bomber or another black project aircraft similar to the retired F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter ( the turbulence wake by the aircraft could have lead to the sudden loss of control of Bhoja airliner).<br />
<br />
In the end all I would like to say is that its all open. What if its true? What if it was a UFO that brought the plane down? Or was it an American stealth spy plane roaming around Islamabad violating our airspace undertaking some sinister agenda or another secret mission like the OBL capture? <br />

Who remembers the 'My Little Pony' cartoon show from our childhood days. Okay most of you wont as it was a girls cartoon.<br />
<br />
Why was I watching it then? Damn something was wrong with me even then...<br />
<br />
Oh well anyways it was about these magical ponies who could do stuff... (quite explantory) lol<br />
<br />
Anyways if 'My Little Pony' was modified for guys and if it covered my favourite motorsport, 'Formula 1' here are some 'Ponies' which you might have seen on your tv screens.<br />

We all have heard about the so called "rip off" culture in China. They just take anything and create an imitation of it. Be it cars, planes, any product! But this is one of the most hilarious and thought provoking rip off or is it an all together new concept that no one in the western world has yet been able to comprehend.<br />

Well it could be a novel attempt at copying the Starbucks Coffee business and it all got lost in translation. Or it could be that the chinese have managed to somehow harness the cosmic power of the intergalactic sexual prowess and are mixing it with their coffee. The customer experieces a totally 'stellar orgasmic' experience after drinking this 'star fuck' laced brew.<br />
