That bad guy is creepy—like a cross between M. Bison and this dude I saw on the cover of an anime in Blockbuster when I was 5 and gave me nightmares for a while and Guyver.

The show's for the Japanese market by the animation giant Madhouse, so except for Iron Man looking like Iron Man and beating ass, it won't be a whole lot like the all-American Iron Man we know. Still, I seriously hope they consider re-importing it so I don't have to download fansubs.

But uh, don't <a href="even ask what they're doing to Wolverine. It's just better that way. [Topless Robot via Technabob]

Sure, it looks like a straight combo of Being John Malkovich and The Simpsons episode Bart Sells His Soul, but hey, I like both those things, so I'm on board. [TrailerAddict]

Luckily (I think), interested buyers can work with the "only Configurator" to design a caravan that's completely unique, like the seemingly Picasso-inspired one above:

"Using the online Configurator, every user sets up a design that is unique, their own layout that they can identify with. The configuration is generated by a computer using the customer's inputs, and then the final design is done by parameters from the architects to yield an attractive and practicable result. The caravans are produced using the principles of 'mass customization': this allows both the individual wishes of the customer to be accommodated while producing the caravan with series methods."

Just seems like a lot of wasted space to me. [LikeCool via Born Rich]

Obviously, the short glimpse of the movie featured here raises a few questions. Will it be better than Speed Racer? Will it retain the psychological, nuclear-age vibe of the original series? Will Nicolas Cage be less annoying voice-only? These questions and more should be answered in October. [Boing Boing Gadgets]

io9 has the full video posted on their site, which has some pretty cool imaginings of future military tech going on. Osprey-like, VTOL aircrafts that transform with ease, nanobots which devour the Eiffel tower, face masks that close up like Mark II's and oh yeah—crime bosses who live in underwater cities. I could do without the pulsing and flashing style lifted from the Terminator Salvation teasers, but whatever.

Check out the wonderfully low-res gallery of exoskeleton shots below, and be sure to check io9 for the full trailer. Is it just me, or does this movie look better than it has any business being?

Hulu. Summary: Alec Baldwin is an alien; TV turns brains to mush and that's a good thing; significant audience reached by a company that streams TV over the internet. We're evil and proud of it. Ed. Note: Hulu can't seem to get their embed crap straight with this post right now, and the site isn't loading the video, either. Suffice to say, it was good for a chuckle, and good for Hulu, which is certainly not a household name in U.S. households right now.

Update: Hulu Alec Baldwin Huluwood video is now available at their blog. Also, note to Hulu: You have to watch ads before you get to watch the ADS?! WTF?!

Vizio. Notes: We're here. We're cheap. People are buying our TVs. Deal with it. Oh, and there's a contest.

Audi. Notes: Jason Statham. Bad ass. And because they're better than BMW. — J.L.

Pixar's Up. Summary: How do you follow up a gem like Wall-E?

And then there were the 3D ads, featuring appearances by NBC's Chuck, the Sobe lizards, and the Dreamworks Aliens vs. Monsters animated flick. Who had the glasses ready? How'd it look to you?

Lastly, I am but a man, with beer in my system and BBQ covering my fingers. What did I neglect to mention that caught your eye during the commercial breaks? [Hulu, YouTube]

Again, as with the other trailers today, watch this puppy in HD if you're a true fan, normal fan, or new to this strange, space sci-fi thing.

Here's the G.I. Joe trailer from earlier, and the intense Transformers trailer too. All three will be shown again on your TV later this evening during the game. [YouTube]

T-28 is presumably short for Tetsujin-28, the original Japanese name for the manga and anime series that became Gigantor in the U.S. It looks pretty close to the original, based on my flawed memories. I love the look of the robots, but the only human face, that of Jimmy Sparks, looks a little weird to me. It looks not quite human, sort of in the same way the faces in Clone Wars do. But I don't think it's as intentional as the puppet-esque faces in Clone Wars are.

In any case, let's hope this movie — and Astro Boy — both manage to get finished. Imagi is also working on a Gatchaman film that's released some amazing-looking art. Unfortunately, auditors Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu cast doubt whether Imagi will have the financial resources to make any of these films happen, in late December. Robot fingers crossed! [Movie Trailers]

There's lots of new footage in here, including footage of the gigantic mech, the bikebots and the harvesters that we've seen concept art for. I'm not sure if this will actually end up being a good movie or not, but at the very least it should provide some solid eye candy. [Trailer Addict]

If you missed this the first time around, here's the teaser trailer:

[io9]

• Resident musicologist Jesus Diaz revealed the top-secret lyrical underpinnings of the Indy theme, which are as safe for awesome as they are not safe for work. Too bad he hated it.
• Any self-respecting superfan doesn't just see the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull six times. He buys all the official merchandise he can find. Of course there's an official fedora and Hasbro FX whip, which increased Gizmodo workplace efficiency by 4%.

• 
  

• The folks over at Toy Fair in New York finally, observing Harrison Ford's increasing potatoishiousness, have put together a "Tater of the Lost Ark" Mr. Potato Head.

• 

• And then there's the Crystal Skull projector/homeschooling device, which speaks to your children about real archeology while projecting sort of related shots of melting Nazis and Shia LeBeouf.
• Remember how the kid down the street always had 10x more Legos than you? Well he's still around and though he's all growed up with a fancy job and girlfriend (not really), he hasn't changed. Not content with the official Kingdom Lego set, some guys with undoubtedly bright futures reenacted the boulder scene from Raiders with the little plastic blocks. 5 million of them.
• Well, give or take. This photo revealed that the giant boulder actually had a foam core, which really upset at least 17 people. I mean, they smashed some stranger's car with an eight-foot Lego ball — how mad can you be?
• But it isn't all good for Indy, as he was publicly emasculated on The View. He was informed by a surprised Whoopi Goldberg that Lucas made him "look like a man" and was forced to sit idly through a bunch of chick chatter (hey, I'm down with the whole feminist movement and all, but that just looked painful).

The trailers aren't HD trailers like you get on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. It's more like grainy YouTube videos before YouTube raised the quality of their videos. You can pause, and you can skip around in the video by hitting B. The videos go fullscreen if you click on them. There are DS titles, which is nice. Edit</>: Corrected errors.

Downloading DS demos is probably a big part of why you'd use this channel. It's easy, just flip on the DS, pick a demo, and start transferring.

The titles section lets you see what's upcoming and get relevant game stats. There's little worse than buying a game you think is multiplayer and getting home and finding out that it's for you only. Or just plain lousy, in the case of Iron Man, but the Nintendo Channel doesn't give game ratings. It does give you a big image of the box art though.

This rendition of The Joker needs to get some kind of award for Ledger for being the best villain in recent memory. The Joker doesn't need gadgets to kill Batman. He relies on pure insanity. The new suit, on the other hand, seems even more souped up and gadgety than the first. We'll have to wait for the movie to see what crazy ass stuff they shoved in. [Why So Serious]
