Heath Ledger’s the Joker from The Dark Knight becomes the first live action movie villain to have a Nendoroid figure, single handedly tipping the toy line’s scale from cute to creepy. This Joker is also two-faced: one face has a glaring expression and the other has a chilling smile.

Of all the superhero films that have been made over the years, one of my favorites is The Dark Knight. I loved the performance Heath Ledger turned in as Joker in the film. He took the character from earlier cartoonish portrayals into a truly creepy bad guy that was more compelling than the hero of the film. If you are a fan of Ledger’s Joker, this is the action figure for you.

While most of us have converted to reading digital formats instead of traditional paper books, many of us still have a collection of reading material that deserves to be preserved in physical form – like classic comics, anime or art books.

If you’re a comic book geek or love Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies, get your wallet out. A company called Infothink has created a new Batman flash drive based on The Dark Knight Rises, and it looks pretty cool.

Batman fans – I just found a new toy for you to add to your collection. It’s Hasbro’s official The Dark Knight Rises Mr. Potato Head! Also known as The Dark Spud, this very special Potato head comes complete with his own Batsuit, Batcowl, Batbelt, Batcape, and Batarang.

There have been a bunch of replicas of the Batpod, which was made famous in the most recent Batman movie The Dark Knight, but this is one of the rare ones that’s street legal. At least, I hope so. This replica, dubbed the PS-Pod, for Pankaj Shah, the current owner, was commissioned by Chopper City USA and uses an all metal bodywork.

I”m sure that some of you would rather look at the actual posters of these geeky movies, but for me 25-year old Brandon Schaefer’s style actually calls out to geeks in that the things his art withholds are known only to those who have actually watched the movies they represent.

No, it’s not Christian Bale rapping, thank god. It’s the work of the satirical and parodistic folks at the Key of Awesome, and they do have valid questions. Plus the characters’ voices were spot on. Still, some of you may be tempted to ask: Plot holes?

Inject a dose of madness to your poker nights with the limited edition Joker poker set. Everything that you’ll find in a standard poker set is here, except that almost everything’s been defaced Joker-style, including the aluminum carrying case. Killjoys may point out that you can have your own “Joker poker set” for free; just doodle on a set of cards and a case Joker-style (it surely seems easy enough).
