It takes a lot to push Anne Hathaway in a see-through blouse out of the top three.  It takes an awful lot to displace some composition of Anne, Selina Kyle, Catwoman and the word “sexy” in the top google searches.  The quadruple cocktail of the Operation Early Bird viral screenings of The Dark Knight Rises Prologue, the video being leaked online and pulled down, the script being leaked so we could find out what the heck Bane was saying, and the movie’s star getting roughed up by Chinese police on his way to see a political dissident, that did it.  She’s down to fifth.

Better luck next week, Anne.

Some in the blogosphere and twitterverse have been obediently passing along all Rocksteady’s promotional materials about Arkham City, the sequal to the justly popular Batman: Arkham Asylum.  But not everybody is preordering their copy for next month’s release.  Some aren’t even excited.  Some are downright pissed.

The Epic Fail of Catwoman’s Costume has been discussed at length.  The fact that they have alternate skins for EVERY OTHER PLAYABLE CHARACTER EXCEPT HER only adds insult to injury.  Let’s move on to other major figures.

Penguin looks like an Orcish overseer in that getup. He looks like Grishnakh! “Wot about their legs? They dun need those! Oo they look taaasteey!”

Riddler looks like the dude from the 40 year old virgin after a bad divorce: he’s been dumped, stopped shaving, started chainsmoking.  Looks like he smells like cheap cologne and Jack Daniels.
