Last week Marvel finally updated the website for its upcoming live action movie The Avengers, which included releasing these awesome teaser character movie posters! The Avengers has one of the largest, star studded casts of any comic book film ever produced, which means its marketing department is going to need to create at least eight different one sheets for every character movie poster sets it releases. Thankfully they went for a pretty simple, yet effective design for these teaser movie posters, combining each hero and villain with the film’s trademark “A” logo.

The Avengers is sure to be one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2012, and it’s bringing some serious fire power with it (as you can tell from the movie posters in this set). The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Mark Ruffalo as the Incredible Hulk, Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

The Avengers assemble in theaters on May 4, 2012.

Alice in Wonderland Disney Vinylmation 3" Series

The newest Disney Vinylmation 3” series was released earlier this month, and it’s an entire line based on The Blot’s favorite Disney cartoon, Alice in Wonderland! Not only that, but it was designed by the uber-talented Disney Design Group artist Thomas Scott. On really interesting aspect to this series is that it does not include Alice, who was released as part of Vinylmation’s Animation Series 1. The AiW Series was created as an extension of that release and was built upon the design of the original Alice Vinylmation 3" figure.

Alice in Wonderland Disney Vinylmation Series includes Queen of Hearts, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, March Hare, Caterpillar, Oyster Baby, Dodo, Hedgehog, Mystery Chase Dinah and Mystery Chase Variant Hedgehog. On top of these 13 blind boxed figures, Disney will also be releasing a number of 9”/3” two figure sets, like the Walrus and the Carpenter set seen here. It will have a limited edition run size of 1,500 pieces and will be released in 2012. Scott has also designed a AiW Vinylmation 3” two figure set, that is scheduled for released in 2012.

The Alice in Wonderland Disney Vinylmation Series went on sale November 4th and 5th at the California and Florida D-Street locations and online November 11th at the Disney online store. Like with all limited edition Vinylmation releases, these went extremely fast. But I’m sure you can still find a few blind boxes if you look in the right places.

The Dark Knight Rises Second Look: Tom Hardy as Bane

While we got a great shot of Bane’s back a few months ago (you can see the original photo here), the January 2012 Empire magazine gives the world its first full look at Tom Hardy as Bane. This Empire exclusive photo graces the magazine’s cover and shows off The Dark Knight Rises’ villain’s new look. This movie version of “The Man who Broke the Bat” looks pretty crazy, doesn’t he? The Blot is itching to find out if this version of Bane still gets juiced up on Venom, and just what the deal is with this new mask of his. I wonder if there will be any real info this cover story of Empire’s on The Dark Knight Rises? My guess, probably not!

The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled for release on July 20, 2012.

Barneyism of the Week - Cheating

“This might be the worst thing I’ve ever done.” - Robin

Hey now, you weren’t at the top of your game but it was still pretty…

“Oh my god, I just cheated on Kevin.
He is the nicest guy ever.
I’m a terrible person.” - Robin

It’s ok, we both cheated.
What’s that saying about two wrongs making a right?

“Two wrongs don’t make a right.” - Robin

Naw, that’s not it.
