Comic-Con International has unveiled the cover art for their 2014 souvenir book created by comic artist Jim Lee. I love Lee's style, and this is the perfect cover for this year's Comic-Con as 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the caped crusader. Comic-Con also points out three other separate notable anniversaries for Batman:
It’s the 100th birthday of writer Bill Finger who wrote many of the character’s adventures, from the earliest stories through the 1960s, and is responsible for such additions to the Bat-legend as Commissioner Gordon, the Batcave, the Batmobile, Gotham City, and Alfred, plus some of the Dark Knight’s most infamous villains. Finger is the namesake of the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing, given each year at Comic-Con since 2005;It’s the 50th anniversary of the “New Look” Batman, which started in 1964 under editor Julius Schwartz and including artist Carmine Infantino’s interpretation of the Caped Crusader,...

In 1939, artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger created one of fiction’s greatest and most enduring characters, Batman. Since then, this masked hero has been a staple in comic books, film, TV, video games, toys, shower curtains, and almost anything else you can think of. On May 5th, 2014, the Paley Center for Media in New York City hosted Batman at 75: To All a Dark Knight, a very special event celebrating 75 years of the Caped Crusader and the memories created during the iconic character’s history. New memories were created as well during this awesome event, which I had the honor and privilege of attending.

Alright internet, time to pull out the Nicolas Cage "You don't say" meme. Which by the way, I was informed is pronounced as "meem" and sometimes "meh-meh." but never "me-me"... as it should be. Anyway, back in November, I and many other writers across the internet had written stories about a mysterious Wonder Twins movie poster that was sent to Midtown Comics. The popular New York comic book shop posted images of it, which had a suspicious 2014 release date, and was supposedly featuring real-life boyfriend and girlfriend, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. They even showed that the packaging had a Warner Bros. logo upon it. From there the speculation began to build, and now it has been revealed to be a mere hoax concocted by Pat Evans. Pat spoke with Marc Tyler Nobleman of noblemania.blogspot.com about how and why he punk'd the internet. Seriously, though…with the spate...
