What If Batman Used Apple Maps?

Could The Dark Knight have saved his beloved Rachel Dawes if he were using Apple Maps to find his way? Would Harvey Dent still have that nonsense all up his face if Siri guided the Bat Pod through the streets of Gotham? Wonder no more, internet, for YouTube has the answer.


Batman Versus Physics: Could The Dark Knight Safely Glide In Real Life?

As countless Birdman rallies have shown, building a powerless flying contraption, even for a single person, is not an easy engineering task. Not that it’s ever been a concern for fictional superhero Bruce Wayne / Batman, who glides from tall buildings using nothing but his cape. But could he… really? A group from the Physics and Astronomy department at the University of Leicester in the UK decided to do the maths, using Batman Begins as a guide.

Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit Gets You Accepted Into The Nerd’s Angels

Somehow I can’t picture a rugged, tattooed and bearded biker squeezing into this officially licensed Dark Knight armour replica. More like Comic Book Guy riding on a moped.


Will Blu-Ray Untap The Potential Of BD-Live?

In the 12 months since Blu-ray emerged victorious over HD DVD in the battle for high-definition format supremacy, BD-Live has gone from having huge potential as a key sales and marketing feature to becoming a footnote on the spine of a handful of Blu-ray movies.
