“Pin-Up” of the Week: The Dark Knight Rises New York City Premiere Pin

The Dark Knight Rises is out, and it’s blowing away fans.  I’m looking forward to seeing it first thing tomorrow morning.  I’ve been staying clear of all the entertainment sites so I don’t ruin any surprises.  Not only am I looking forward to seeing this film, but the trailers that come before it.  I hear there is a Man Of Steel trailer before the movie starts.  That I deeply want to see.  Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is by far the best interpretation the world’s greatest detective.

This pin was given to those individuals that were lucky enough to attend the New York City premiere of The Dark Knight Rises on July 16th.

The Dark Knight Rises Official Trailer #3

The 2012 summer superhero movie season kicks off this Friday with the release of the much anticipated The Avengers.  Along with it will be new trailers for The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises.  We live in a great time when some of the best superhero films are being made.  Christopher Nolan’s version of Batman is my personal favorite.  And what is he working on next?  That’s right… The Man of Steel.

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer 2 Has Been Released

Here is the second trailer for this epic conclusion to the best Batman trilogy of all time.  Really looking forward to this one!

A Look Inside The Panini Logo

Of all the manufacturers, Panini has the most interesting logo.  But what in the hell does a knight and the letters “EPM” have to do with anything.  After a little research, and an e-mail to Panini Corporate I’ve come up with a few answers.

According to Panini Online:

Because Giuseppe Panini, who loved riddles and puzzles, invented his own crossword puzzles under the pseudonym “The Knight”. In the 70s, there was also a magazine for Panini sticker collectors whose testimonial was “Pipino The Knight” (Pipino stood for Giuseppe).

Giuseppe Panini is the founder of Panini.

Now what about those letters “EPM”?  They stand for EDIZIONI PANINI MODENA.  Edizioni is Italian for “Editions”, Panini obviously is for the founder, and Modena is the city in Italy where the company was first established.

Card of the Day #39

This is something a little different.  This is a 2005 Batman Begins Authentic Used Cape card from the movie.  I thought I would use this today because I just saw The Dark Knight last night and it has to be the best Batman movie ever.  Enjoy!!!
