Google Helps Hype Up "The Batman" With a Google Search Easter Egg

 

Turn on the Bat-Signal when you search for "Bruce Wayne", "Gotham City", or "Bat-Signal" in Google, as the search engine page gives a nice little Easter egg search to fans of Batman in anticipation for the release of Matt Reeves' "The Batman" next week!

By typing any of the aforementioned keywords on your desktop or mobile device and clicking on the animated Bat-Signal gif when you see the search results, the screen will turn slightly dark as the Caped Crusader's glowing symbol of a beeper shines in the sky... And then you will see the shadow of the bat himself answer the call and swing towards the fight for justice!

Be sure to catch The Batman next week when it opens in theaters this March!

ICYMI: See the first trailer and poster of Todd Phillips' "Joker" starring Joaquin Phoenix

From the mind of the director who brought us "The Hangover Trilogy", "Due Date", and "War Dogs" comes this daring and bizarre vision of the origin story of one of DC's greatest villains - as Joaquin Phoenix stars as the man will become the future nemesis of a certain Dark Knight Defender of Gotham City in Todd Phillips' "Joker".

In this very first trailer for the film - see a man known as Arthur who tries to make people laugh and ends meet, yet is constantly pushed and treated poorly until something snaps and leads him down the path where he will literally "put on a happy face" that will forever haunt the citizens of Gotham.

Gotham: Hugo Strange cast for Season 2 and to be played by BD Wong

Adding yet another familiar villainous face to the growing roster of bad guys making their appearance in the show, Fox and Warner Bros. have officially announced that "Jurassic World" and "Law and Order: SVU" actor BD Wong has been cast as the deranged psychiatrist Professor Hugo Strange, a man who is one of The Dark Knight's first supervillains. Strange is also actually the first villain to discover Batman's secret identity of Bruce Wayne, but develops an obsession to actually replace and become the hero... Which he repeatedly fails to do so in his comic book appearances.

The news comes from Comic Book.com, and also details how Strange plays into the events of "Gotham" - now on its second season and continuing the series that explores a Pre-Batman Gotham City that is slowly becoming home to the supervillains it is notorious for and the few forces of justice like a young Detective James Gordon who continue to fight for the innocent.

DC All Access: Top 7 Sinister Joker Moments

It may be Harley Quinn month this February (with a stellar article on the clown girl by The Nerdist that's absolutely worth reading), but we mustn't also forget about a certain Clown Prince of Crime, who just recently reared his ugly head back into the gates of Gotham - terrorizing its citizens and one Caped Crusader who's desperate to try and save it.

I'm talking about none other than Mr. J himself... The Joker. In Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's current run of Batman, he's been more chaotic and unpredictable than ever... And new revelations of his origins seem to suggest the same.

Top 7 Sinister Joker Moments
Ala DC All Access, here are the top 7 Sinister Joker Moments from comic history that the publisher has collected and listed. Be warned of course... SPOILERS for those who don't want to know.

Batman actor Christian Bale comments on BatKid and Ben Affleck

This past week, the world was touched and reminded that heroism and dreams can come true, as a 5-year old "BatKid" was granted a Gotham City of his own to stop the bad guys, set in good 'ol San Francisco by the efforts of the city and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It made widespread news, and was even able to catch the attention of a former Batman star and actor from Christopher Nolan's epic Dark Knight Trilogy, Christian Bale.

Via Superherohype and during an interview with Access Hollywood, Bale goes on to comment about the charity event.

"I just think it's great. It's a great day for the little guy. I just think Make-A-Wish and San Francisco did such an amazing thing to organize that. You just think of the delight in that little fella's heart, running around doing that. Then also as someone who has played Batman, it's great to see that the symbol of Batman is so much bigger than any one person, than any film, than any comic book, any TV series, that's really what it's all about. It's irrelevant which actor is playing it, we're irrelevant in that sense. But for little Miles to have such a great day is just delightful."

Then, Bale went on to talk about his successor, Ben Affleck, who will be starring as the new Caped Crusader opposite Henry Cavill as Superman in the "Batman Vs Superman" 2015 film that acts as a sequel to this year's Man Of Steel. He went on to say this:

"I wish him all the best. He's a very experienced actor and filmmaker and he'll make it his own. Our thing's finished, we've always declared it was finished and it should be passed on to another actor and it will be again after him."

A video from the interview was shown with Bale talking about Affleck:
