Grant Morrison was recently on Kevin Smith’s Podcast, Fatman on Batman, and he had some very interesting ideas as to how the ending of the Alan Moore’s amazing Batman story, The Killing Joke, actually went. And rather then just pull the quote, we’ll let you listen to the pair discuss the idea right here. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wQ2x0OKBjU?feature=player_embedded&w=640&h=360] Quite the interesting theory there. Especially considering the more amicable endings most people usually go with. Either way, your thoughts are wanted in the comments section, so think away.
Marvel and Empire released one of the deleted scenes/gag reels from the upcoming Iron Man 3 Blu-Ray, which is out September 9, earlier today. Be warned, this is very heavy on spoilers if you haven’t scene the film. If you have, it’s actually rather hilarious, go ahead and watch, after the jump.
Since original Obi-Wan Sir Alec Guinness is no longer with us, the though of Obi-Wan as a force ghost in Star Wars Episode VII was lost. However, Latino Review is confirming that Ewan McGregor will be returning to the roll of Obi-Wan as the force ghost, along side a ghost of Emperor Palpatine. We’re still unsure how much he will be made up to resemble Guinness, if at all, as of yet. On top of this, McGregor is wanting to do a solo movie focusing on Obi-Wan Kenobi at some point.

The Disney Infinity game is shaping up to be one of the most robust games slated for this fall. And with tons of classic and modern Disney characters being shown as available, it doesn’t look like there will be any problem marketing this to most people. Of course, after viewing the creation tools set in the game in the trailer below, I’d be surprised to if someone didn’t want to at least give it a try. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZHwuLwFPko?feature=player_detailpage&w=640&h=360] And, this comes out next week. I wonder if we’ll see Spider-Man or Han Solo eventually.
