Holy nine months of trouble, Batman!
Batman: Arkham Asylum was universally praised for revitalising the superhero genre when it was released in 2009, and follow-up Batman: Arkham City is already being spoken of as being the best release of 2011, even before its official launch according to Gigwise!
One of the most anticipated games of the year, we canât wait to start gliding around the city on October 21st when it's officially released to Bat-fans in the UK!
Get an exclusive look at the game and the Dark Knight in action with this brand new gameplay trailer....
Looking good right!
According to recent reports, the game builds on what we already know and comes complete with a larger area to play, more Bat-skills to test out and gadgets to master. Not forgetting the ability to glide around the city!
âWhen we finished Arkham Asylum, we knew we wanted to take Batman into his spiritual home â Gotham City,â says game director Sefton Hill to The Metro. âBut we know that if we were to deliver the true Batman experience the player would need to have complete freedom to go anywhere and everywhere and that every square inch of the city would need to be realised with the same care and attention to detail as the asylum.â
This time, you also get the option of trying out other characters including the likes of Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing. According to the makers of the game, Rocksteady, 10% of the missions are Catwoman based where she has to climb buildings and crawl along rooftops and Robin and Nightwing will be available in the downloadable content to use on the challenges.
Katy Perry loves our Beans on Toast Ring which is given to her by a fan!
Katy Perry, known for her fashion forward statement looks was snapped out last night sporting our fabulously quirky Beans on Toast ring!
Katy sported the ring after playing her sell out California Dreams Tour @ The Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield and it turns out it was one of our lovely customers Becky who gave it to her. Yup - Becky was lucky enough to have won a meet and greet with Katie before the show during which she gave Katy the ring who loved it so much, she had actual tears in her eyes!
Even more excitingly, Katy herself then tweeted saying..
Yup, the singer instantly adorned her finger with ring and let the world know how much she loved it via Twitter! Cute or what!

Back To The Future Delorean Up For Auction!
Yes, you read it right! Back to the Future's III's iconic DeLorean is part of the upcoming Profiles in History auction and this awesome piece of movie history is expected to fetch a whopping $600,000 when it goes under the hammer in December!
One of only three of the seven DeLoreans used in the trilogy to survive, it was of course fitted with a flux capacitor and fuelled by plutonium, ready to travel through time when it reached a speed of 88mph.
For fans with slightly less cash to burn, the legendary hoverboard, which featured in Back to the Future Part II, is also on sale and estimated to fetch up to $20,000 (£12,800!) Marty's jacket and the shirt worn by his legendary mentor, Doc Brown are also up for grabs.
The auction is being held to raise money for Michael J Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Fox who played Marty Mc Fly in the awesome movie trilogy went public with his own battle with Parkinson's in 1998 after he was diagnosed seven years previously.
The auction, which will include other items of film memorabilia including a pair of Wizard of Oz ruby slippers, will take place December 15 to 17 so if you're prepared to dig pretty damn deep, keep your eye on the auction site here as more details will be revealed soon.
If however (like us,) these amazing pieces of movie memorabilia are sadly out of reach, never fear! Luckily, you can get your very own little piece of Back To The Future for just £5.99 right here on TruffleShuffle.com!

'This was my first ever purchase from Truffle Shuffle...and what a fabulous purchase it was!! I had heard of Truffle Shuffle but as all the celebs were wearing bits from here (as I had seen in magazines) I thought it would be really expesive, but was plesently surprised!This Debbie Harry t-shirt was a birthday present for my sister, she absolutlely loves it. She hadn't seen this t-shirt before so was pleased as not everyone had it. It fits her lovely and she is always wearing it. When it arrived and had a look and love the quality, it feels so nice and expensive was happy to pay £25 for it also was pleased the delivery wasn't expensive. The packet love hearts were a bonus too we were both winners! Now just got to try and convince her she isn't actually Debbie Harry!!

Great Scott! Back for the Future???
Being a child of the 80s meant that I grew up being 'WOWed' by a whole host of amazing movies such as Goonies, E.T, Labyrinth and Ghostbusters. But there is one movie that I watched so much I managed to wear out the VHS tape, this movie was Back to the Future 2.
If you haven't ever seen Back to the Future 2, where have you been?
The story is about a character called Marty McFly who has only just got back from the past (Back to the Future), when he is picked up by Dr. Emmett Brown in his DeLorean time machine and sent through time to the future, 2015 to be precise. Marty's job in the future is to pose as his son to prevent him being thrown in prison. Unfortunately, things get worse when the future changes the present. Check out the original trailer below...
Being a car and gadget obsessed youngster there were a whole host of reasons to make me excited about this movie, the DeLorean time machine now being able to fly, Hover Boards, pretty much everything to do with 2015 (The future looks amazing) but there is one thing in this movie I remember wanting more than anything else. Marty McFly's Nike Sneakers! The light-up emblem and power laces blew me away. These are the best shoes never made....
Not any more..... 22 years later and Nike have (kind of) made my dreams come true with the 2011 Nike MAG....
Want to know more about these famous sneaks? Well, The glowing LED panel is there as is the electroluminescent NIKE logo on the strap. The foam support in the ankle and toe box have been increased for comfort which differs from the original in the âBack to the Futureâ movie. The MAG can be illuminated by pinching the corner of the high top. The feature itself makes it the first rechargeable footwear from Nike. Each shoe holds a five hour charge.
