There’s been some pics of The Dark Knight Rises circulating around the web of Batman and thugs fighting on the steps of what may be Gotham City Hall. We’ll assume you’ve seen them because you’re rabid fans of the franchise.

Now Warner Bros has released something pretty much every rabid fan of the franchise may have wanted to see even more than Batman and Bane: the first official photo of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. The photo, which appeared on the official website, TheDarkKnightRises.com, is sadly not all that sexy.

It is, however, a pretty good look at what Nolan is going for with his Catwoman and keeps pretty much in line with his vision for the films. Of course, what did you expect? According to sources, Nolan’s vision for the Catwoman costume is more “tactical, like the comic book,” “less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman costumes”, and would feature goggles.

That seems to describe what we’re seeing here completely. Maybe there’s some other version of her outfit that appears later in the film? It would be a shame to have a woman as attractive as Hathaway and not utilize all her talents to the fullest.

Check out the full version of the photo after the jump. And, a couple others we found from around the Internets.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

One of the most fun things about comic to Comic-Con in San Diego is the amount of people who dress up in their favorite costumes and their favorite character from movies, TV, comics, games, manga or you name it. It’s a highlight of the week to see all the great, and not so great, costumes that people come up with to enhance their Con experience.

To help showcase a few of those people who spent their tame and money to dress up so you and the rest of the attendees could have their day brightened a little bit more, we’ve got the first of our galleries from the show.

In this one we’ve got a mix of general photos, costumes, booths and more. We hope it gives you a feel for what the Con is like.

Expect more coverage of all the festivities and, of course, a lot more pics and video as Comic-Con continues. As they say in Hollywood, we’ll be here all week.

Click through for all the pics.

That’s right boys and girls it’s E3 time again. So, you know what that means, right? It means we will have a bunch of game trailers, videos and more to share over the next couple days.

It also means photos. Lots of photos. We like photos. Photos tell a story. They tell a story of E3 full of exotic booths, exotic games, exotic trips to far off lands and exotic booth babes.

That’s right, the booth babes are back this year and we’ve got pictures to prove it. So, click on through for what will probably be the first of at least a couple more galleries of photos showing off the sights, sounds and even smells of E3 in Los Angeles.

Well, maybe not the smells. That would be a little difficult. Click through for all the excitement.

First we get the “official” word the the movie is indeed filming. And now, presented without comment, is this first picture of Tom Hardy as Bane from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming third Batman film The Dark Knight Rises. Okay, can’t help it, one comment. It looks pretty great.

Okay, two comments. Can’t wait for this movie. A year is too long.

What do you guys think?

You’ll hear a lot about all the cool games, tech, and gadgets you’ll get to try out at the PAX East show floor, but you won’t hear much about is everything beyond the show floor. PAX prides itself on offering the all-encompassing gamer experience, which includes a wide variety of things to do when you’re a little tired of trekking through the mobbed expo hall or have some time to kill between panels.

Here’s all the “other stuff” I found worth checking out around the convention center this weekend.

One of the great traditions of San Diego Comic-Con are the huge numbers of attendees who come dressed in costume. Whether inspired by anime or manga characters, to super-heroes, to movie characters, Con-goers really get into it via their elaborate costumes.

The Flickcast team braved the crowds down on the show floor on Day 1 to bring you just a sample of what we saw. So take a look at our day one gallery and keep checking back for more photos from the Con.

Check out all the exciting photos after the jump. The photos are what make Comic-Con special and these folks have traveled sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles to be at the Con and dress as their favorite character. So, we like to encourage them by highlighting their pictures here.

Be sure to keep it right here for all your Comic-Con news, interviews, photos and more direct from San Diego.

Normally when things like this come out we try to do a full writeup and explain all the pics or the trailer or whatever new bit of info has surfaced. This time, however, I think I’ll let the photos do the talking for themselves — especially as those photos just happen to be some awesome new ones from Tron Legacy.

Coming from our pals across the pond at Empire Magazine, these new pics are from a new article in the magazine hitting newsstands today. Needless to say, they look pretty damn awesome.

Having just watched the first Tron again recently, I like the direction they are going with this new film. Can’t wait to see more. What about you guys? Does this get you excited for more Tron Legacy?

Check out more pics after the jump. Tron Legacy hits theaters on December 17.

Even though we didn’t get a chance to attend Anime Expo this past week it doesn’t mean we can’t bring you some info on the event. Taking place from July 2-4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the expo showcases the latest, greatest and most colorful Anime from around the world.

Of course, where there’s Anime you will find people who love to dress up as their favorite Anime characters. Our friends at LAist have put together a rather impressive bunch of photos that show you exactly what we’re talking about.

We can show you a couple of them here but for all the rest, be sure to head over to the site and their photo pool on Flickr to check them out. After looking at these photos and hearing some of the stories it looks like we ma have to add this event to our calendar for next year. Seems like it was a good time.

Check out a few more photos after the jump.

Another day at E3 brought even more interesting stuff including a visit to the Sony and Nintendo booths to check out the new Playstation Move and the Nintendo 3DS. Both were pretty amazing devices and promise to take gaming as we know it into new and different directions.

We also managed to see a few of the notorious booth babes here at the show but, as one of my colleagues in the press observed, their weren’t as many this year as they would have liked. I won’t make a value judgement on the quantity or the quality of booth babes in attendance this year except to say that they were all lovely and willing to be photographed. What more could you ask for?

We also visited the G4 booth and managed to snag a pic of X-Play’s Morgan Webb hard at work. Those guys sure know how to put on a show. Check out all the pics after the jump.

Three different sites have received images of faux-newspaper clippings, somehow related to Paramount and Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2. Superhero Hype received the first image, with the headline reading “The Secret Life of Mr. Stark,” with “Secret” highlighted in yellow. The second image was received by Screen Rant, with the headline of the photo reading, “Stark Situation Paralyze”, with “Stark” in yellow.

And now, the third released image, comes from CHUD with the headline stating, “Tony Stark’s Confession: ‘I am Iron Man’”, and this time “Confession” is highlighted. So far, the message seems to be, “Secret Stark Confession.” Who knows how many more are to come, if any, or if this little game is just a bit of viral misleading.

Answers seem to point to the creation of an ARG, much like the series of ploys created for The Dark Knight, and pretty much anything that JJ Abrams touches. To me, this seems like it’s leading to something to do with Mickey Rourke’s character, Whiplash, as there have been photos of that character in a Russian prison cell, with articles much like this hanging on his wall.

Check out the three clues after the break, and let us know what you think they might mean. Iron Man 2 hits theaters May 7, 2010.
