The result: way too many Photoshopped images of Christian Bale in seductive poses, paired with out-of-context quotes from Christopher Nolan's Batman movies.
For example...

At Toy Fair, our friends at MTV Geek got the chance to grab a few minutes with Todd McFarlane, the legendary "Spawn" creator and one of the founders of Image Comics. McFarlane might be able to add "movie character" to his impressive list of credits, too, seeing as Image co-founder Rob Liefeld recently wrote a screenplay about the company's creation. In fact, Liefeld went as far as to suggest Christian Bale for the role of McFarlane.

There's a new "Iron Man 3" poster dropping today.

There's more than just blood in the air for Hit-Girl — there's some love in there, too!
Speaking with Yahoo UK, "Kick-Ass 2" actress Chloe Moretz teased that her upcoming reprisal of the Hit-Girl role is a much more grown-up take on the pint-sized killer. And yes, that means there's even room for a little romance in Mindy Macready's life.

Add Alan Cumming to the increasingly slim list of former "X-Men" actors that haven't signed on to Bryan Singer's "Days of Future Past." But just like Halle Berry, the door isn't closed on Cumming just yet.
"I don't know. We'll see," was Singer's response when Huffington Post's Mike Ryan asked the filmmaker about seeing Cumming as Nightcrawler in the coming "X-Men" sequel. "You know ... we'll see."
That "we'll see" could turn into a "yes," depending on where Singer takes the "Days of Future Past" script.
