‘Ladies. Gentlemen. You have eaten well. You’ve eaten Gotham’s gorditas.’
Not even the late-night drive-thru of the Gotham City Taco Bell is beyond the reach of … The Batman.

Your video of the day | pood #1: The Motion Picture
Look at the size of that thing! It’s pood #1, the new newspaper-style alternative-comics anthology edited by Geoff Grogan, Kevin Mutch, and Alex Rader and featuring contributions from Jim Rugg & Brian Maruca, Hans Rickheit, Sara Edward-Corbett and many more. And in this video, you can sort of get a sense of just how much comics is packed onto each page. You got a better way to drop four bucks on a funnybook?

Watch the trailer for Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts
A trailer has been released for Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts, the newly announced feature-length documentary about by Sequart and Respect Films, the folks behind Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods.
“Oh god,” Ellis wrote this morning on his blog. “The trailer made it to YouTube, and people are taunting me with it. Let’s get this over with. I have, at best, a face for radio. Unfortunately, I don’t have a voice for radio. This is horrifying and I don’t want to look.”
The documentary is scheduled for completion next year.

The return of Spanish Alan Moore: ‘Alan Moore! I have joints!’
Remember that video we posted last month of a Spanish Alan Moore impersonator talking about Watchmen and fandom, and eating a page of From Hell? Of course you do. Well, it turns out there’s a rather surreal — okay, more surreal — sequel featuring an ode to Unbreakable, a cartoon snake … and Jumble, the idea elf who lives in Moore’s beard. Bless you, Neil Gaiman.

Spanish ‘Alan Moore’ discusses his work, eats Page 214 of From Hell
I’ve already lost track of how many times I’ve watched this video this morning. It’s a Spanish-speaking Alan Moore impersonator, holding court on Watchmen, From Hell, fans — “You all have the head full of stupidities” — his first marriage, traveling to Andorra to buy a radio cassette player, and rolling a joint with a Green Arrow comic. It’s … mesmerizing (and subtitled, fear not).

‘You need to check out Choker — dang, that art is nut smash!’
Dallas retailer Zeus Comics and Collectibles has released a funny, over-the-top video — it’s a nod to local TV commercials for used-car dealerships and monster-truck rallies — to promote Ben Templesmith‘s store appearance on April 3.

Straight for the art | Lady Gaga & Beyoncé ‘Telephone’ tributes
"Telephone" by Yamino
Chances are you’ve carved nine minutes out of your schedule over the past few days to watch director Jonas Åkerlund’s mind-melting video for Lady Gaga & Beyoncé’s “Telephone.” Naturally, the combination of Tarantino-esque exploitation-cinema homages, hilariously overt product placement, lesbian chic, outright silliness (“Let’s Make a Sandwich”!), and utterly fabulous outfits has fired the imaginations of artists around the Internet.
Above is an adorable, lusciously colored tribute to “Telephone”‘s dynamic duo by deviantART member Yamino. The piece got the attention of Lady GaGa herself, who called it “completely brilliant”, and blasted Yamino’s homepage to her three-million-plus Twitter followers.
I’m also rather fond of deviantARTist HamletMachine’s comics-inspired take on the video …

Luc Besson’s latest movie, based on the series of graphic novels by French artist Jacques Tardi, seems to be gearing up for its big release. Man, those actors looked like they stepped right out of one of Tardi’s pages don’t they? Props to the makeup crew. (via)

Your video of the day: Fallout trailer
Did someone tell me that the English producer/director Tupaq Felber is attempting to do a six-part adaptation of Peter Bagge’s Apocalypse Nerd for the BBC and I just conveniently forgot? Egad, I hope not. At any rate, above is the teaser trailer Felber put together. Hopefully the BBC will pick it up tout suite and BBC America (or some other Brit-loving American channel) will bring it stateside soon. (via)

Your video of the day: Neil Gaiman profile
It’s not really comics, per se, but I did enjoy this CBS profile of Neil Gaiman, mainly because he takes us on a brief tour of his oh-so-awesome library. (via)
