It’s been long rumored that the Skrulls would be a big part of the Avengers movie this Spring, originally appearing in leaked footage of a cancelled video game. Even though producer Kevin Feige has denied all involvement of Skrulls, Toy Fair coverage of Jakks showroom by MTV Geek and Idle Hands has uncovered very Skrull-like looking characters as pieces of a board game. Now, since Twentieth Century Fox has the rights to “Skrulls” as part of the Fantastic Four, these will most likely be called “the Chitauri” after the revised Skrulls in the Ultimate Universe. But still, is this the actual reveal, or just a concept game that was making guesses?

So today is January 1st, 2012! I can’t help but wonder if it could be the beginning of the end. You know that whole 2012 End of the World Mayan thing and all that. I have some New Years Resolutions however, regardless of the world ending or not.

1. Finish off my DCUC Collection! Yeah, those expensive, pesky DC Universe Classics figures I want to finish my collection off this year!
2. Finish off my Doctor Who DVDs and get caught up on the Doctor Who figures. My mad rush to finish off DCUC has meant that Doctor Who has had to take a backseat.
3. Be a bit more kinder and gentler. This one is last because it has the most chances of failing!

So it begins another year of the inevitable rat race for collecting!

It is 12:57 AM on December 31st, 2011. 2012 is almost ready to begin in less than 24 hours. New Years Eve. I have much to reflect on. And a lot to think about. I want to make more posts on here more so then just posting news. I want to get back into the business side of things with the comics. Since John being sick and then dying I sort of slipped off on that.

Speaking of that, Mother being with us has had its ups and downs in the last few months. But it’s been good over all.

I have to say I’m happy… I have my family, my health… and most of all Erin and my Mother.

I was just talking to Erin about this. Over the years there have been many entrances to the Batcave.

In the classic television series, Batman & Robin… Upon learning which criminal he would face, Wayne would turn a switch concealed within a bust of Shakespeare that stood on his desk. This would cause a bookcase to slide back and reveal two fireman’s poles. “To the Batpoles!” Wayne would exclaim, and he and Grayson would slide down to the Batcave, activating an unseen mechanism on the way that dressed them as their alter egos. The title sequence often began at this point.

Rarely seen in the various motion pictures are some of the entrances; the cave is once again seen in Batman Returns, and Bruce gains access to it via a tube/elevator like passage from Wayne Manor, the entrance to which is hidden in an iron maiden, and is activated by flipping a small switch hidden on a small replica of Wayne Manor in the bottom of a fish tank. Alfred also confirms, in a throwaway remark, that there is a stairway to the cave. The Batcave of this film is also shown to be more technologically advanced than in the previous film, featuring more work stations and computers. The most notable revision to the cave is a large walk-in closet carved into a wall, where Bruce stores his numerous Batsuits.

In Batman Forever, the Batcave is accessed through a rotating wall in Wayne Manor’s silver closet, the only room in the mansion that is kept locked. The cave can also be reached via a secret tunnel system from Bruce Wayne’s office at Wayne Enterprises, through which he rides down in a capsule.

In Batman Begins, the Batcave is accessed through a secret compartment behind the bookcase through a series of notes played on the piano…

However I will forever and always remain a fan of this simple entrance…
