Hey everyone, I'm very excited for Batman-Online to be helping UNDONE launch their new range of Batman watches that celebrate 80 years of our favourite hero.

You can sign up for more information here - where you can also have a chance to win one of the watches!

Here is the press release from the company.




HONG KONG, October 21st - UNDONE, the world's leading custom-watch label, announced today that it has entered into a three-year global licensing agreement with Warner Bros.

Being no stranger to delivering unique and fun interpretations of characters and household names to the watch world, UNDONE is confident these pieces will not only be the watches Batman fans need, but the ones they deserve.

UNDONE is releasing a tribute that is bound to make the Joker lose his laugh. For Batman's 80th anniversary, UNDONE has designed a premium collection, introducing its first Titanium model in tandem to this special occasion. Since his first appearance on the pages of DETECTIVE COMICS #27 on March 30, 1939, Batman's role and look as a crime-fighting cultural icon continues to evolve in our collective consciousness. The UNDONE BATMAN 80th Anniversary Collection pays homage to perhaps two of the most definitive eras in Batman's evolution; The Caped Crusader and The Dark Knight.

"The Caped Crusader"
To the Batmobile!

Housed in Grade II Titanium, the cushion-case, crown and pushers are light weight, agile and highly corrosion resistant. With a micro-blasted finish for ultimate stealth and aggressive shoulder lines reminiscent of the Batmobile, the Caped Crusader brings Batman's fierce demeanour to your wrist. The distinctive yellow can be found on the centre console, circling the tachymetre and its "80" mark, a nod to Batman's 80th anniversary. Further, on the chronograph seconds, hands and subdials, the classic oval insignia (1989-1993) in the form of a Batarang can be found. Equally fearsome in the dark, the dial reveals a green luminous detect-a-scope and Bat-Signal minute subdial whilst the hands and applied indices are an icy blue.

"The Dark Knight"
Billionaire by Day/ Gotham's Guardian by Night.

"The Dark Knight" is a realistic interpretation on the duality of Bruce Wayne/Batman's identities. The matted grey look of the Titanium micro-blasted cushion case along with the two-tone dial design converge to an almost "Noir"/ "B&W movie" aesthetic. Here you will find the 2011 NEW 52 COMICS version of the Bat emblem stealthily debossed into the subdial; take this watch out for a spin at night, however, and you will witness the lume on the appliques and chronograph counters come alive like the blue-nitrous boosters of the Batmobile's powerful engine. Made for shaking hands in the boardroom and kicking a** on the boardwalk, "The Dark Knight" is undoubtedly a versatile piece borne of a reluctant Super Hero's necessity and Wayne Industry engineering prowess.

Whether you've been a fan since the first DETECTIVE COMICS (1939) appearance, the gloriously upbeat and cheesy Adam West TV adventures (1960s), Bruce Timm's Animated Series (1992-1995) or Tim Burton's iconic film adaptation (1989) ... You are sure to find the perfect addition to your Batcave arsenal.

The UNDONE x Batman 80th Anniversary Collection is set to be released on the 5th December 2019. "The Caped Crusader" and "The Dark Knight" will come in an open glass case back, laser serialized with a special commemorative Batman 80th Anniversary badge based on the cover of DETECTIVE COMICS #27 on March 30, 1939. Both models will arrive in a tactical, yet stylish metal carrying case featuring the Bat emblem.

"To the Heroes in Real Life"
UNDONE will be donating a portion of the proceeds on this project to support the heroic work of the Hope For Henry Foundation; who help seriously ill children and their families through difficult times. More information about this partnership to come.

Technical Specs
Both "The Caped Crusader" and "The Dark Knight" are housed in Grade II Titanium; a 25% weight reduction from the regular UNDONE Urban series. The case measures in at 40mm diameter (43mm including crown) and 48mm lug-to-lug length. Height has been reduced by 0.5mm to 13.3mm; making this whole new chassis lighter and thinner, leaner and meaner for all your crime fighting and boardroom takedown needs.

RRP Price: USD $495

This summer I want to have a live event for the 25th anniversary of Batman Returns.

In the past we have put on our dvds and chatted in a chat room, but I want to take it further.

Live streaming video with us providing commentary (via Skype) and responding to viewer comments.

Who's up for it? All you need is a Skype account - if you have a smartphone then that's easy - and access to watch our video feed - on facebook or youtube.

Suicide Squad (2016) / Spoiler free reviews
Tue, 2 Aug 2016, 15:24
Give your view in the film but strictly no spoilers!

Obviously this is for those that want to discuss the film.

I would ask that any discussion about the film's plot be kept here until April 8th (after which time it will be renamed) - to allow fans wishing to avoid spoilers a decent chance.

Misc. Burton / Dave Lea - Then and Now
Thu, 1 May 2014, 02:47
Dave Lea, as you know was Michael Keaton stunt double/fighter/trainer. He's also a friend of the site.

Check out this cool video of him training his abs recently. The guy is in as good shape as he was 25 years ago!

Video only works on a PC/Mac, but watch to the end (it'll bring tears to your eyes)
