I had no idea that there were so many modifications to the Batman logo over time. I particularly like the time-based morph approach shown in this video. It lends some interesting movement and changes to the distinctive silhouette and gives a sense of just how spooky it would be to run into a pissed off Batman dropping from the sky down a dark alley. Mommy!

P.S. I am reminded that I’d really like to check out
Superman/Batman Vs. Aliens & Predator (Superman (Graphic Novels))
It might be silly but I gots to know what happens!

I just discovered the marvelous Spherical Cow website today, a collection of thoughtful and funny comics. There aren’t a ton of them but what there is, is great.

I really like this one on “Many Worlds.”

Homage or plagiarism? http://thepugetnews.com/2008/04/30/batman-and-the-dark-knight-trailers-side-by-side-derivative-plagiarism/ http://thepugetnews.com/2008/04/30/batman-and-the-dark-knight-trailers-side-by-side-derivative-plagiarism/#comments Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:29:03 +0000 Eric Franklin http://thepugetnews.com/?p=365

Other than intellectual slothfulness, is there any reason for these two trailers to be so identical? “Batman” was released in 1989. “The Dark Knight” is scheduled for July of this year.

Overall though, who’s the sucker? I’m totally going to see “The Dark Knight” anyways. I want that nostalgia. It was good the first time. It will probably be good the second time too.

Once again, kudos to Coudal for the pointer.
