New Arkham City Trailer Wraps Catwoman In Fetish

These poses. These close-ups. The kiss before the crunch. Any vestige of reality has been tossed out in favour of a full-on fetish show for this new, Catwoman-centric, trailer for Arkham City.

Captain America, Peggy Carter And Red Skull Character Posters

These Captain America examples, seen at Cine Mercado, seem particularly dull. All that catches my interest is that Peggy Carter gets her own character poster. Here's hoping that indicates her role in the film will actually be meaningful.
