Life-Sized Batman Wants Your Bids

Mon 16 Jul '12

Life-Sized Batman Wants Your Bids

This Dark Knight replica rises to new heights.

In recent years, you may have noticed that rising oil prices and inflation have led to superhero toys becoming smaller and smaller, to the point that almost everything is micro-scaled nowadays. But we're bucking that trend big-time: check out 75 inches of Batman from The Dark Knight Rises (which opens Friday at long last). There's just two days left to head over to the Course of the Force eBay page and bid on this life-size statue of Christian Bale in the Batsuit. Sculpted by Studio Oxmox for Muckle Mannequins and Section 9 Entertainment, this fiberglass statue with cloth cape weighs around 143 lbs and is valued at $4000. You'll set the price for this one when you bid on it, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation will benefit.

Let's face it, there are lots of things you could do with a Batman replica around the house. Most fans would simply display him dramatically, but you could probably also hang laundry from his arms if you wanted to, or decorate him with colored lights at Christmas. If you happen to be a farmer, you could just have yourself the coolest scarecrow of all time, while Dr. Crane laughs at the irony. Mainly, though, his presence should ensure your house is never bothered by insane super-villains who wear metal masks or clown makeup.

If you want a chance to bring him home, you need to act right now. Fire up your fingers like they were the Tumbler, and head over to Course of the Force's eBay page to get your bid in. Whatever the cost ends up being, it's worth it to be able to say you have Batman as a permanent houseguest and mean it. And like Batman, you'll be helping the less fortunate; just with a donation rather than a Batarang.

The Amazing Spider-Man Redux Reviewed

I ended up catching The Amazing Spider-Man in theaters over the weekend. Honestly, I thought for a redux, it was very good. I liked the whole new take on how Peter Parker got his powers and his background story. This is the area of the review without the spoilers.

The acting was pretty great. I am not going to go into any detail about the cast and who played who because it is not important. Face it, we go to see the comic book movies for the characters not the actors. At least in a case like this. I felt that the casting was pretty good and I liked the overall feel for the characters. I felt that the Parker family was done pretty well and so was Gwen Stacey family. Doc Connors was pretty good too.

The special effects for Spidey were great. I will admit I didn't justify seeing this movie in 3D and I kind of wish I did. The CGI scenes were great. The only issues I had were with the Lizard's face. But still, I felt it was realistic. The sound effects were great as well. Not a whole lot of music was used either. Which was great. I mean, if I am going to argue that we go to see comic book movies for the characters, do we really want a music score?

Spoilers are now here.

Somethings that were lacking to me, at least... Oscorp was where Parker's dad and Connor's worked. They kept making reference about the owner being sick and needing this formula to work to help keep him alive. I am going to assume this is where Norman will eventually be brought in and end up with his Green Goblin juice.

When Gwen Stacey's father was bleeding to death from a wound created by the Lizard and the cure for the genetic changer was made... Couldn't Parker have injected him with the Lizard's DNA changer to heal him and then use the cure to reverse it? I felt like that could have been a solution. But I guess the idea is to give Peter a darker and more dramatic issue; he had to promise Mr. Stacey that he would leave his daughter out of his life.

Overall I give the movie a solid A. Spidey Fans, just go in with an open mind and you'll enjoy the movie.
