“The Dark Knight” is quickly carving out a place for itself among the most successful films of all time, so it’s no surprise that toys based on the record-breaking, award-winning movie are still popping up and going strong at Toy Fair 2009.

Here’s a photo of Mattel’s “Fear Toxin” Batman that was released late last year.

Earlier today, we brought you a sneak peek at Hasbro’s upcoming line of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie toys, and now we have your first look at another line of action figures based on a much-anticipated 2009 film and making their debut at Toy Fair 2009: Bandai’s line of “Dragonball Evolution” movie toys.

Not only did we get a peek at all seven characters in their 4-inch line of figures and a few of their 6-inch “Fast-Acting” figures (which punch and/or kick at super-fast speed), we also received a nice look at the 7-part build-a-figure Oozaru (Big Monkey) — a character appearing in the film that, until now, has only been hinted at in interviews with the “Dragonball” cast.

As any fan worth his longboxes will tell you, comic book movies and toys go together like macaroni and cheese — and Toy Fair International is where all the new toys based on comic book movies are showcased each year. MTV’s Splash Page is on location at TFI, and we’re taking the tours, snapping the photos and bringing you the best of this year’s offerings from the world of comic books and the films based on them. Case in point: Hasbro’s new line of toys based on the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie.

Along with the expected action figures based on Logan (Hugh Jackman) and Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), there were a few surprising additions to the line. Read on for more photos and details about the toys. Read more…

FROM MULTIPLAYER BLOG: Last week, I spoke to comics writer Marv Wolfman about his involvement in the DC Comics MMO “DC Universe Online.” (I did so after giving him grief about how he brought Optimus Prime back to life in less than stellar fashion back in the 80s — I’ll get into that later). Wolfman is a highly-regarded veteran comics writer whose most famous work is the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” mini-series that re-booted the DC Universe in the mid-80s.

Here’s what I learned about his involvement in the game and how the story is taking shape.

When I spoke to him, Wolfman hadn’t worked with the developers yet. What he had done is absorbed the high-end master-story for the game, which had been cooked up by fellow comics writer Geoff Johns. Wolfman was brought in to turn Johns’ story into actual missions.

If you haven’t picked up Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca’s 2004 indie series “Street Angel,” you’re missing out on both a great comic and, apparently, the source material for a great little film. The quirky Slave Labor Graphics series, which chronicled the adventures of a homeless, 12-year-old skateboarding martial artist defending her turf in the ghetto of Angel City against mad scientists, ninjas, time-traveling conquistadors and various other baddies, has been turned into a short film by an Australian film school.

Go ahead and feast your eyes on the wild trailer for the film:

Directed by Lucas Testro and produced by Adam Bishop, “Street Angel” looks to be a lot of fun and, if there’s any justice in the world at all, someday I’ll actually be able to see it. Read more…

It’s been a “Watchmen” day here at Splash Page HQ, with our exclusive debut of the “Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter” trailer this morning, and now 30 new “Watchmen” movie images hitting the ‘Net. We’ve posted one of the images below (featuring everyone’s favorite right-wing vigilante, Rorschach), and you can click on the image to view a massive gallery of new (and old) “Watchmen” movie images we’ve collected.

We’ve posted another pair of images after the jump, but check out the full “Watchmen” image gallery for everything we have thus far from the much-anticipated film. Read more…

Yesterday, we lamented the lack of “Iron Man 2″ movie news, but it looks like Eliza Dushku has come to the rescue. The star of Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse” television series kicked off an Internet campaign Thursday on the Howard Stern show to get her a role in “Iron Man 2” — and not just any role. She wants to play The Black Widow.

“They’re doing ‘Iron Man 2,’ and I’m so perfect for the Black Widow character, that they just need to get into it,” said Dushku. “They need to understand… I just learned Russian because I had to play a Russian girl in ‘Dollhouse.’ Maybe we could all tell them. Lets get on a Black Widow Iron Man 2 campaign.” Read more…

We’ve been pretty much bombarded with “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” news over the past month — between behind-the-scenes photos to cast updates to commentary straight from “Scott Pilgrim” creator, Brian Lee O’Malley. Not that this is a bad thing — after all, to say we’re impressed with both the direction and the all-star roster of Hollywood up-and-comers attached to the Oni Press adaptation would be putting it lightly.

However, if a post over at The Playlist is to be trusted, that aforementioned ridiculously-cool cast could get that much better, as they point to an article in Variety in which Jason Schwartzman was named as a castmember — and quite possibly the seventh “evil ex” (namely Gideon Gordon Graves) which Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) must defeat in order to win his heart’s desire, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
