Dark Knight Rises

"The Dark Knight Rises" has only been in New York City since late last week, and the place is already going to pieces. Billionaire playboys need police escorts. People on motocross bikes might be abducting innocent civilians. The Batwing even needed to make an appearance to calm things down. All of this nonsense, and we haven't even begun to talk about the bomb-like sphere in the heart of the Financial District.

With leaked set photos once again abound, there's always a flurry of "The Dark Knight Rises" information floating around after a shoot as public as the two major ones that have happened in New York City so far. Both locations, Midtown and the Financial District, featured action that seems to be from the same IMAX sequence, with the Wall Street shoot taking place later chronologically.

Here's a run-down of what's gone down since Bruce Wayne turned the real-life Gotham into his own. Major spoilers ahead!

Marvel

"Marvel Universe," the massively multiplayer online game from Marvel and Gazillion Entertainment is – well, it's out there somewhere on the horizon. The game has been under development in its current iteration for a couple years, and details have been rather slim. Today, Marvel released images of four character models – Wolverine, Captain America, Deadpool, and Cable – that will be showing up whenever the game actually launches.

Iron Man 3

Tony Stark has slugged it out with Iron Monger, Whiplash and, in next summer's "The Avengers," the Asgardian mischief maker Loki. But fans of the "Iron Man" comic books have long been holding out hope for a big screen appearance of Shellhead's number one nemesis, the Mandarin. With teases of "The Ten Rings" littered throughout the first two "Iron Man" movies, will we finally get to see Tony going head-to-head against the ring-clad bad guy?

The sad answer: probably not, if "Iron Man 3" director Shane Black's latest remarks are any indication.

Rhys Ifans did more than show off his Lizard voice when he stopped by MTV News the other week to talk about "Anonymous."

The actor explained that he's a big fan of his "The Amazing Spider-Man" villain The Lizard because of his complexity. Unlike other villains that serve as foils to their superhero counterparts, Ifans has said that he think he and Spider-Man have a "moral" bond, and shared this time around why he thinks Connors is such a special character.

"The majority of comic book villains are pure evil, but Curt Connors is an exception," he explained. "Curt Connors is a good man who initially wants to save the world but he gets hungry and greedy and reckless and he pays the price for that."

Wild Cards

Fantasy writer George R. R. Martin is big business right now. “Game of Thrones” was a great success on HBO, his latest "Ice and Fire" novel “A Dance with Dragons" was recently released to great critical and commercial acclaim, and there's more good news on the way: it’s been announced that SyFy Films has snatched up the rights to “Wild Cards” for a feature film.

Robert Kirkman

"Walking Dead" comic book fans are no doubt continually surprised by the overwhelming amount of mainstream attention this franchise has been getting lately – Emmy nominations, record-breaking cable debuts, and now the book's creator, Robert Kirkman, is showing up on a daytime talk show? It's not the zombie apocalypse, but it's certainly a different world we're living in, fellow nerds!

Kirkman was a guest on today's Halloween-themed edition of The View, flanked by hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar and Sherri Shephard dressed head to toe in zombie makeup. As a longtime fan of Kirkman's, watching him on The View was surreal, to say the least. Hit past the jump for the highlights.

Wolverine

As a fan, following the production of "The Wolverine," the follow-up to 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," has been a series of highs and lows. You cheered when Darren Aronofsky signed on as director, promising a much more serious take on Hugh Jackman's character, and despaired when he left the project, saying he couldn't spend so much time out of country. When James Mangold ("Walk the Line," "3:10 to Yuma") replaced Aronofsky this summer, it was unclear what direction the project would move in after a change in the director's seat. Would it be the same darker, weightier version of Wolverine that fans knew from comics and expected from Aronofsky? How much of that film would remain?

MTV News briefly spoke with Mangold about "The Wolverine" during an interview about the Blu-ray edition of "Cop Land," and the director enthusiastically shared his experience working on the film so far with Jackman on a Wolverine that's "more intense than we've ever seen him."

Walking Dead

From the very beginning, "The Walking Dead" has never been shy about making changes and adjustments from the comics penned by Robert Kirkman. Some characters, like Donna and Allen, do not exist in the show at all, while others — Daryl Dixon, for example — are entirely new. Then there are folks like Shane, a man who survives only six issues in the comics but has a huge, prominent role on the show.

It was only a matter of time, then, that someone with some comic book staying power would get killed off early. Major spoilers after the jump.

"The Walking Dead" unleashes the third episode of its second season, "Save the Last One," this Sunday night (October 30). We left last week's episode with Shane and Otis desperately seeking a way to avoid becoming dinner for a small army of very, very hungry zombies, while Rick Grimes and his wife Lori watched hopelessly over Carl, still suffering from the accidental gunshot wound delivered by Otis.

So, what's next? Will Shane, already dead at this point in the comics, live to see another day, or has he finally met his maker? What's going to happen to Carl? And what kind of fantastic zombies will Greg Nicotero give us this week?

Beyond the break, read five teases of what's coming next. Be warned: some mild spoilers lie ahead.

Wayne Enterprises

What does Bruce Wayne have in common with Donald Trump? Beyond sitting atop a money pile that would make even Scrooge McDuck blush, the billionaire playboy who stalks Gotham City's streets at night as the Batman just so happens to operate his business on Trump's home turf.

Superhero Hype reports on the current New York City shooting of "The Dark Knight Rises," posting several set photos and first-hand accounts revealing that Trump Towers will double as Wayne Enterprises in the film. Seems like an appropriate use of the production's current New York shoot to me!
