Snippets of Fiction 1
He wanted more from life, wasn't there more to life. He was disillusioned, he wanted to know why he existed. What was the point to life. Why did we live, what was our purpose. What was the universe and what was our part in it. He looked at the mirror, studying his reflection. What was he doing with his life, why did his life matter at all?
The raindrops slid down the window pane barely leaving a trail. The air was heavy with morning dew. He didn't know how long he stood there, she was lying on her side, her head buried in the pillows, ensconced in the comfort only a winter morning can give. He watched her sleep before turning to the window again. He had been in this world for two and a half decades and what did he have to show for it. NOTHING. No one would know he lived, he would barely be a memory after his remains were interred. He didn't care, he would be dead. But the prospect of being known, the prospect of being famous when he was alive always ate at him. He wanted to do something with his life, he wanted to live. He wanted to live for himself, not for the perception of others. He wanted recognition, not fame, he wanted peers not fans. He wanted to be more than just a man. He wanted his life to mean something.
He heard thunder splitting the sky in two. He looked up at the sky and smiled. But then again, his life didn't matter, his actions didn't matter. He was just an insignificant speck in the grand cosmic scheme. He was nothing in The universe, not even a microscopic speck Why was he alive? Why did his life matter?
Download Complete, his computer glowed from the corner of the room. Finally, his Netflix was done streaming.
He sat down in front of his computer and thought no more.

Justice League Concept Art In Next Batman: Arkham Game?
I found this on a website whose name escapes me right now , but the content was too cool not to share, the author is mentioned below

Several sources reported today that Rocksteady, the studio behind Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, are working on a prequel to both games featuring the JLA.
This prequel will involve Batman’s first battle with the Joker and his first encounter with the JLA members. It is also rumored that the game will have a stylized 50′s Silver Age feel. However some concept art from an artist who worked on the Arkham games popped up shortly after the game itself was revealed.
It’s unknown if this really is concept art from the game itself but considering the style of the characters themselves there is a very strong possibility that this maybe from the real game. As for the release date sources say 2014 at the earliest. This is a plan from DC to use video games like this, Lego Batman 2 DC Superheroes and Injustice Gods Among Us to build up hype and awareness for the team and movie through video games to non comic book fans.
Here is the rumored concept art for the game:

Batman Arkham City Sequel/ Prequel
So, the Batman Arkham City Sequel may well be a prequel set in the Silver age of DC Comics. Which means there are chances that Batman may be suited up in Blue and Grey tights, a la Adam West in the campy 60s show. I would shudder at this thought, but to be fair, the show had its own flair, for the time, of course. However, with Rocksteady studios helming the game, you can be rest assured that they'll bring the same level of awesomeness, they brought to the franchises previous installments (Arkham Asylum and Arkham City). Now if the game is indeed being set in the silver age, then all the rumours and hints about Harley Quinn and her alleged demon spawn from the Joker himself being the main villain of the game may not be true. With Mark Hamill having declared that he may not be returning for the next installment of the series, it may also seem that Rocksteady may shift focus from the Joker and Arkham Asylum itself and make Batman roam freely tnhroughout the entire span of Gotham City and not just a part of it.
The scope of such a free roaming possibility is enormous. Batman moving in the shadows of the entire span of Gotham City and doling out justice to the scum of the underworld would be awesome.
And if treated right, the game could have the epic noir feel that Spiderman: Shattered dimensions was able to sort of achieve. But I believe Rocksteady can ace it. Gotham City in the sixties, a decade explored to much commercial success by both the X-men and the Transformers. So just imagine what Batman can achieve in said decade, amid the moon landing and the cuban and chinese missile race. Add to that the era of the Mustang and just imagine a sleek and pimped out Batmobile with a Mustang chassis. That would be Epic. Bataman riding a Batmobile Mustang. This is where you use the word Epic.
As for possible storylines, theres a great deal of stories to choose from.
This era is perfect for a prequel for the Arkham series because this was the era, when Batman was taking a turn for the darker more gothic version
This was also the era when he teamed up and co- founded the Justice League, which is being touted as a possible plot point for the game
This was alos the era when the classic Joker was revamped to the cooler and darker Joker of today
But I don't think Rocksteady will be bringing back the Joker for this, we'll just have to wait and see.

Here is the first look at the Wolverine
The first look poster for The Wolverine is beautiful and it seems to be modeled on the Japanese Haiku

Image Courtesy: The Wolverine Movie |
The movie is set in Japan and explores Wolverine's past in Japan and his first real love, a woman named Itsu. He also faces off against a deadly foe, the Silver Samurai. The Silver Samurai has been chosen for Itsu by her family, but she loves Logan. The story seems to revolve around Wolverine's love for Itsu. But rest assured, there will be some wolverine style hack and slash kick ass action.
But the question here is whether he'll be endowed with Adamantium, as in the comics Wolverine's time in Japan is a prelude to his returning to America and before Weapon X.
But earlier pictures have shown him with Adamantium claws. So we'll just have to wait and see.

Iron Man 3: The Iron Patriot
Iron Man 3 will hit theatres in April, 2013. The third installment of the franchise features two bad guys. Or thats how it looks like. Tony Stark aka Iron Man, will be facing off agains the classic baddie The Mandarin, who incidentally, in the comics is described as the leader of the Order of the Ten Rings. The same terrorist group that kidnapped Tony in the first installment. Now with Jon Favreau not at the helm, the new director Shane Black is going in another direction, making Iron Man grittier a la The Dark Knight.
Tony Stark will be going up against the Mandarin, that much is for sure. But here, the questions arise about the movie's second villain/ anti- hero/ ally? The Iron Patriot.
These photos show that the Iron Patriot, is decked up in the flight suit customised for Col. Rhodey aka War Machine, but with a star spangled paint job. But, heres the question, The Iron Patriot in the comic books is described as a baddie, the bizzarro to Iron Man. But if Rhodey Rhodes is piloting the suit, that characterisation for the Iron Patriot may not fly well with fans of the comic books. Though it could lead room for a possible confrontation between Rhodey and Tony like in Iron Man 2, but that scenario seems highly unlikely.
Or a more likely version would be that War Machine aka The Iron Patriot will be a government sanctioned Iron Man who fights crime and terror at the behest of the government, which could again pit The Iron Patriot and Iron Man against each other.
So, we'll just have to wait and see if the Iron Patriot will be fighting alongside Iron Man or against him.
