The Comic-Con in San Diego ongoing and there’s already a lot of leaks, hints, and previews that would make a lot of overzealous geek fans’ brains melt.

The panel Book of Eli included Gary Oldman and instead of pimping the Hughes Boys film (the cast of which includes big names like Denzel Washington, Michael Gambon, Mila Kunis and Ray Stevenson), Gary dropped a nukie of a geek dookie – the third Batman movie will begin filming next year.

Holy crap, Batman! This is huge new indeed. After getting steamrolled by awesomeness in The Dark Knight, fans are content on waiting even a couple of years for the next installment. Still, rumors have been around regarding a third installment but most can be dismissed on the account that there’s no script written, director tapped, or cast drafted to back the claim that the project has been greenlighted.

But this is Oldman hinting on it. Being the Hollywood professional, we don’t think that he’s just saying this to earn some cheap pops. There most likely is some major development regarding The Dark Knight sequel.

Whether Nolan will be back, we’ll just have to wait on more news.

MamaPop just dished out this post pitting two of the biggest superheroes in the movies this year – Iron Man versus Batman. Quite the sacrilege if you ask me. Well, mostly it’s because of the movies. Iron Man is the best superhero movie so far. The Dark Knight (Batman) is an epic crime drama that happened to feature a guy in a cape.

But the two (as characters) taken side by side do not really feature much difference. Billionaire playboys, with lotsa money, lotsa toys, and swanky butlers. There were some other takes online pitting one against the other but come on, they come from two different mythos. Sure they have some dead-on similarities but we could still highlight key differences here. Phenomena on Break had an interesting take on this too.

And MamaPop’s take is a bit flawed I guess since they’re based mostly on the movies. Tony Stark had Jarvis as a butler. There’s no point comparing Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) with Alfred (Michael Caine). Hot-blooded men would definitely choose Pepper any day. Well, they ended up with Iron Man sweeping all points.

Oh and remember this YouTube clip?

Just got back from the movie theater where I watched the first full show on the official opening day of The Dark Knight. Jessica Zafra wrote in her review (the only one I’ve read about the movie) that, “This is possibly the best superhero movie ever made.” Guess what? I cannot agree with her more!
