 published: 2013-04-19Patton Oswalt's Star Wars/Marvel Mash Up Now Has A Poster The poster is credited to EW staffer Jef Castro, and it merges virtually every major player in future sci-fi and fantasy franchises.

I'll leave it to the Star Wars diehards to pick through all the insane ideas Oswalt suggests for what might happen in Star Wars: Episode VII filed under: Patton Oswalt
 published: 2013-04-15See Patton Oswalt As The Penguin In A New Take On Batman It’s unfortunate that it ties itself so tightly to Christian Bale’s Batman, because now I both love this video for its hilariousness and hate it because it makes Batman look dumb. It’s possibly the ridiculing that Batman deserves, but not the one he needs right now. filed under: Patton Oswalt

 published: 2012-01-25Tilda Swinton Willing To Tackle Patton Oswalt's Oscar Snub Dare Among playful posts that declared indie ingénues Elizabeth Olsen and Kirsten Dunst arrived via "a shower of rose petals," Oswalt painted a vivid picture of Academy-ignored motion-capture actor Andy Serkis performing a karaoke duet of "Life on Mars" with Tilda Swinton, who many felt was robbed of a well-deserved nomination for her gut-wrenching work in We Need to Talk About Kevin. filed under: Patton Oswalt
