Artist James Jean created this illustration for the Watchmen movie that can be seen briefly in the trailer. He writes on his site:
At 1:32 into the Watchmen trailer, you can see a glimpse of an illustration I did for the movie. Alex McDowell asked me to create a Vargas-esque portrait of Sally Jupiter, played by Carla Gugino. It only appears for 1 second in the trailer, but the illustration is supposed to play a larger role in that particular scene.

If your like me and can't watch the "The Dark Knight" tonight, fear not. Run down to your local video store, or in my case the DVD shelf and pop in "The Dark Knight: 1966" aka "Batman: The Movie". See Batman not only take on the clown prince of crime know as the Joker, but also the fiendish Penguin, the clever Riddler, and the super sexy Catwoman. Ha Ha Ha!!!!!

We know it seems to many of you this day would never arrive, but on Monday, July 21, 2008, at 4:00 PM, EDT, Ed Peper, Chevrolet’s General Manager, and Ed Welburn, GM’s Director of Design, will unveil the details of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. This unveil will be the first step in answering the many questions (or should we say confirming the many rumors) surrounding the new Camaro.
Due to many factors, we are not able to extend an invitation to the entire Camaro community to join us in person for the dual, simultaneous unveilings that will take place in Warren, MI, and Los Angeles, CA.
We understand many of you may be disappointed not being able to see the car “in the flesh” that day (and therefore give you a reason to meet us at Indy in September); therefore, we are arranging a live webcast of the Warren unveiling on the GM Next website.
On Monday, July 21, just before 4:00 PM, EDT, go to http://camaro.gmnext.com and click on the "Camaro webcast" link at the top of the page (the Camaro link goes live July 17) to tune in the unveiling. If you cannot watch the webcast live, no worries, an archive of the broadcast will be available on GMNext.com and Chevy.com/Camaro.
Speaking of Chevy.com/Camaro, the next evolution of the site will also debut late Monday afternoon. The next evolution will include images of the production model, exclusive production animation, and a downloadable PDF file containing specifications on the 2010 Camaro. After the webcast, come on over and see the changes for yourself.
If all your questions are not answered during the reveal, a web-chat on the 2010 Camaro will take place the next day (Tuesday, July 22) at GMNext.com. The chat will start at 9:30 AM, EDT, and will feature experts from Chevrolet Marketing, Design and Engineering.
Since Camaro’s production announcement in August 2006, many people throughout GM have been passionately developing a car worthy of its heritage that features beautiful styling, segment-leading performance, excellent fuel economy and advanced technology. Quite honestly, we can't wait to show you all the work on Monday.
Sincerely,
Team Camaro

If you haven't noticed by now, my Bat-Fever is at an all time high. I haven't been this excited and hyped about the "Bat-Scene " since 89'. The latest infatuation of mine is the "1:18th Scale 1966 Barris Futura Batmobile Super Elite Edition". Like the "Hot Toy's Movie Masterpiece 1/6th-scaled Batmoblie" that I am also lusting over, this premium version of the 66' Batmobile highly detailed and has all of the bells and whistles that the actual car has.
SATURDAY, SATURDAY, SATURDAY!!!

$12 now, $15 if you buy them at the door.
What criteria do you feel makes a good QotD?
