Fannish Items of Interest

Prompt submissions are now open at dark_fest.

From Cracked: Secondhand Nightmares: 10 Horrifying Thrift Store Finds.

Some new images from X-Men: First Class have been released, as well as the poster.

Selina Kyle (look carefully, it hasn’t said Catwoman in the press release—just Selina Kyle) and Bane will be the villains for The Dark Knight Rises. Anne Hathaway will be Selina Kyle, while Tom Hardy will be Bane. Rachel Weisz would have been my pick, but Anne Hathaway might be okay. Before anyone complains, just remember the uproar when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker. I’ve only ever seen Hardy as Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis, so I should watch get around to watching Inception soon.

Io9 has written a great overview of Bane’s history in the comics.

For Regis’ replacement, I’ve seen the suggestions of Anderson Cooper, Kelly’s husband, Mark, and various other people—but what about John O’Hurley or Tom Bergeron?

A huge thanks to the current highest bidder (misura, at $6) in my thread at qldfloodauction. Bidding closes on the 26th, if anyone wants to join in on offering fanfic or other items for the auction.
