To help with the cost of saving the world, superheroes should take on sponsors

To help with the cost of saving the world, superheroes should take on sponsors

Let’s face it. Not every superhero can live the life of Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark. Some might even contend that if Peter Parker didn’t have to make a living, he could spend more time saving the world rather than doing the bidding of J. Jonah Jameson. Corporate sponsorship actually makes a lot of sense. Of course, that would probably be the case in the real world if superheroes like Superman weren’t just stuck in fiction. If athletes can get endorsements, who wouldn’t want to pay to have their logo flying around the city or on the front page of the NY Times after a superhero saves the world again? There’s…

Is Christopher Nolan the most appealing part about Man of Steel?

Is Christopher Nolan the most appealing part about Man of Steel?

The question has a pretty obvious answer. People would have been excited if Danny DeVito was the producer. Still, the funny folks at How It Should Have Ended put together a nice spoof commentary discussion between Superman and Batman, tied together by the presence of Dark Knight director and Man of Steel producer Christopher Nolan. As 2013 looms and excitement about a slew of summer blockbusters coming a half a year from now starts building up, it makes for fun to watch the epic trailer, then watch the HISHE treatment.

Where can we get a hold of the Batmobile documentary?

Where can we get a hold of the Batmobile documentary?

It’s a shame that I didn’t see this until after Comicon was over. I might have attended had I known that this would be there. Every Batmobile displayed. Several of the actors, directors, and stunt directors who were part of the filming from the 60s television series through the end of the recent trilogy were a part of it. The documentary of geek documentaries played and I missed it. Where can I see it? Here’s the epic preview that got my blood boiling to the point that I’m using my blog login to ask the question. That’s how important this is. …

It's a good thing Bruce Wayne is rich...

It would be impossible for anyone other than a really rich person to be Batman. Sure, anyone who has the physical prowess and the willingness to train can be a strong fighter, but the gadgets, suits, vehicles, and overall systematic infrastructure that goes into maintaining the Batman presence requires money. Lots of it. This infographic comes to us from Moneysupermarket.com via Seattle Nissan and breaks down the various costs associated with making Batman the baddest man in Gotham City. Click to enlarge.

Dark Knight Rises trailer: "This isn

Dark Knight Rises trailer: "This isn't a car"

There are two reasons to never watch trailers of movies that you already know you’re going to watch. You get to see things that make you worry that it won’t meet your expectations. In this case, it’s the last line of the trailer that acts as a stark reminder that Christian Bale, as talented of an actor as he is, still uses the barely-intelligible smoker’s voice when in the Batman persona. Expect parodies such as the one beneath the trailer. The second reason is that, if it’s a movie that you’re dying to see, you only get teased into wishing for a time machine. That’s the point of a trailer, I suppose. Here’s…

Nerdgasm: The Dark Knight Rises trailer

It’s hard to make us speechless. We are often overly-verbose rather than sitting dumbfounded by anything, particularly as unimportant as a movie. The Dark Knight Rises trailer dropped our jaw and made nothing but guttural noises come out of our mouths. Simply stated… enjoy. …

Batman: Arkham City hype machine gets psychedelic with Riddler trailer

Few games have been as anticipated in recent months as Batman: Arkham City. The unique adventure game uses an appealing combat style, clever puzzles, and iconic heroes and villains to draw us in and make our collective gaming mouths water. The sequel to the wildly-popular Batman: Arkham Asylum is scheduled for launch October 18th in North America and October 21 in Europe. …

How to Pop Popcorn... With Lasers!

How to Pop Popcorn... With Lasers!

In case you had no idea what you were going to do this weekend, here’s a suggestion: popcorn. With lasers. But not just any lasers: Arctic Spyder blue lasers, the kind that if flippantly horsed around with, you could very literally unweld your retina from the back of your eye. Then you’d just have a floaty retina bobbing around in eye goo. And some unpopped popcorn. And nobody wants that. So if you’re going to try this, do be careful. Granted, not the most efficient way to pop corn. But considering the badassery that goes into every kernal, you’ll enjoy it that much more. This is, of course, assuming you…

No Pirates, Princesses, or Pokémon, Please

No Pirates, Princesses, or Pokémon, Please

What’s your kid wearing for Halloween? He’s not going as Batman, is he? I see, like, a trillion child Batmans running around every Halloween, all wearing that foam (plastic?) muscle bib chestplate deal, with snowpants so they don’t catch a cold. Parents, your child isn’t going to catch a cold. He’s the goddamned Batman. Anyway, the point is, your kid’s Halloween costume is stupid – muscle bib or no. If you really wanna have a pissing contest with the other parents on the block, you’ll consider the Kid’s Walker from Sakakibara Kikai. Obviously from Japan, the Kid’s Walker is a robot that… well,…

Batman Utility Belt Stows Your iPhone Like A Pro

Batman Utility Belt Stows Your iPhone Like A Pro

Can’t decide what to wear for Halloween this year? Yeah, me neither, and if you’re anything like me, it’s probably because you need something that will also accommodate your phone. Hey, I’m not letting my phone any nearer to my sweaty bod than it needs to be. But, luckily for you, if you plan on being creatively vacant enough to go as Batman this year, has Universal Designs got one hell of a utility belt for you. Featuring a whole lot of places for your crap, the belt has one especially-interesting feature – a pouch that is downright suspiciously iPhone-sized. I suppose any phone will do, though. Besides,…

Pimped-Out Batbus Disregards Common Sense and is Completely Badass Anyway

Pimped-Out Batbus Disregards Common Sense and is Completely Badass Anyway

Students at UT Delft in the Netherlands have done something completely inexplicable. They have built a bus. And what a bus it is. Featuring an all-carbon-fiber kit, a lowered chassis, twin 800hp electric engines, and not one, not two, not twelve, but sixteen gull wing doors, this bus looks more like a collaboration between Batman and P. Diddy. …
