Two-Face Is LEGO Batman’s Illest Villain

Sure, this summer’s new Dark Knight flick looks great, but there’s another Bruce Wayne incarnation dropping in September: the LEGO Batman video game. Unlike the darker, more modern movie, the LEGO game is based around the light-hearted 1960s Adam West TV show. Today, Warner Bros. revealed one of the villains that will show up in the game: Two-Face. Originally known as Gotham’s district attorney Harvey Dent, he turns into a sociopath after a criminal throws acid in his face. In the game, the character’s weapons will be twin .45 automatics. After the jump, watch Two-Face in action (with a cameo from Scarecrow) and see some new stills from the game.

The Batmobile Is For Sale On Ebay

If you’re a real 80’s baby, you might remember watching the live-action Batman show at Six Flag’s Great Adventure around 1989. It was a re-enactment of certain scenes from the movie, complete with a replica of the Batmobile (keyword: replica). The car you now see before you, is the real deal. One ambitious eBay seller is looking to get rid of one of the five actual Batmobiles from the Tim Burton classic for a cool $500,000 bucks that actually works, just not street-legal. Here’s what he had to say about some of the vehicle’s specs:

The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The chassis is custom built and the motor is a Chevrolet 350. To get in you have to be able to enter through the top where the canopy opens, just like in the movie.

If that doesn’t convince you to come out of pocket yet, the gallery of close-ups will after the jump.

Mortal Combat Vs. DC Universe Fight Gets Ugly

Most superheroes have at least one weakness, but still, it’s hard to imagine anyone ripping their skulls out of their heads. But in Capcom’s new game Mortal Combat Vs. DC Universe, Batman, Superman and the gang are going to have to compete with a gang of ninjas who won’t stop until they hear that fateful word ring out: FATALITY. The rumored game just got a lot more interesting with the release of a new trailer, which shows Batman facing off with Sub-Zero in a pretty wild show down. Watch the carnage after the jump.
