Bane Walkie-Talkies: Breaker 1-9, Got Your Mask on?

Posted on by

The Dark Knight Rises wasn’t my favorite in the Nolan Batman series, but I still thought Bane was pretty bad-ass – even if it did sound like he was talking with marbles in his mouth most of the time. That scene when he blows up the football stadium is a classic, IMHO. Now, if you want to announce your evil plans just like Bane, you can, thanks to these new voice-changing Bane walkie-talkies.

You and your friend can each strap on the Bane masks, and a special voice-changer circuit will make you sound just like the Dark Knight’s hulking, if inarticulate nemesis. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to understand each other, but I suppose that’s part of the fun.

I have to say, Bane doesn’t look so tough when he only comes up to your navel. No word yet on pricing for the Bane walkie-talkies, but our pals over at ThinkGeek are hiding more details over in their bat-filled secret lair.

UPDATE: Happy April Fool’s Day!

Bruce Wayne Approves: Batman Molded Leather Backpack

Batman Backpack

Whoever said that backpacks were for nerds obviously hasn’t seen Batman’s molded leather backpack. Okay, so it’s not exactly his, but it’s fashioned after the one that Batman used on the rooftop of a skyscraper in Hong Kong in The Dark Knight. It was also featured in the conclusion to the box office smashing trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises.

The backpack was made by UD Replicas, which is known for creating bike leathers that are based from movie costumes. Hit the break to check out more photos of the most badass backpack you’ll ever see in your life.

The Batman molded leather backpack retails for CDN$298. That’s about US$290.

Awesome Mom Paints Her Son’s Converse, Dark Knight Style

Posted on by

So last week, we saw how awesome dads could be. First, there was the dad who built his daughter her very own backyard roller coaster. Then there was the dad who turned his kid’s toy car into a real one. But moms can be awesome, too, and today we’ve got an example of one. Now what she did might not be something of epic proportions or mechanical in nature, but it’s a labor of love, just like what those dads did.

Redditor zacch wanted a pair of Batman Converse, but didn’t have the cash. So instead of buying one for him, his mom took one of his old pairs and painted all sorts of cool Batman stuff on them.

Not only do they look awesome, but they’re also one-of-a-kind, considering that his mom customized them and all.

The post on Reddit has amassed a lot of praise, comments, and request, which prompted zacch’s mom to accept requests for customized shoes. If you’re interested in getting a pair of customized kicks, check out his mom’s blog and use the email on that site to send in your requests or inquiries.

The Dark Knight Weds

Posted on by

When true Batman fans decide to tie the knot, they don’t do it in half-measures. Check out these classy, stunning gold and black wedding ideas. If you want to have a classy Batman wedding, there are some good ideas here, collected by the guys over at When Geeks Wed.
batman wedding ideas
You’ve got your invitations with gold batarangs, your black wedding dress with gold utility belt like belt etc. It’s all gold and black using the Batman costume from the movies as inspiration. The Batsignal could be used to signal the bride and groom to walk down the aisle. And I would also suggest that the ring bearer look like Jim Gordon or Robin.

Hopefully we will see some couples use some of these ideas and throw an awesome Batman-themed wedding (and send us some pics.)

You’ll Flip for The Dark Knight Rises Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Watch

Posted on by

I wasn’t aware of the fact myself, but apparently Jaeger-LeCoultre watches have had cameos as part of Bruce Wayne’s wardrobe in several Batman films through the years. It makes sense. Only the best for Bruce Wayne. And money is no object for Gotham’s leading billionaire. Now, to honor the release of The Dark Knight Rises, Jaeger-LeCoultre has come up with this tribute Reverso chronograph.

This watch is similar to the one worn by Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Rises. This very special piece features an engraved bat logo on the back, instantly making it a geek classic.

If you want to see some of the watches worn on screen by Batman himself, you can check them out at specialty JLC boutiques in Geneva, London, L.A., and Hong-Kong. They don’t mention the price, but I’m certain they’re too rich for my blood – but damn if they aren’t nice to look at.

Batman Nokia Lumia 900 priced at £600, throws in some free movie tickets

We said it was coming soon, and the Dark Knight-themed WinPho hasn't disappointed. Phones 4u has just announced that pre-ordered laser-etched Lumia 900s will be delivered on June 1st; that's this Friday. Off-contract pricing is pegged at £600, although multiple contracts are also available from the UK retailer. There doesn't appear to be any extra functionality on the special edition, although bragging rights do count for a lot. The phone will arrive in limited numbers, but neither Nokia nor Phones 4u is spilling the beans on precise unit numbers. The retailer is also throwing in free tickets to see the Dark Knight Rises at UK cinemas (or theaters) this summer, plus the chance to hit up the premiere. Pre-ordering heroes can zip-wire their way to the source link below.

Update: SlashGear's been told by Phones 4u that there will be 900 of the special edition phones.
