It’s Batman meets Metal. In particular, this is ArhyBES’s take of Dethklok’s Face Fisted. Their “new” band is called Children of Batman and this remake is called Batface. You might not want to listen to this at work because, well, metal. And swearing. I like the arrangement of Red Hood, Robin and then Nightwing across […]
Superhero Week: Femme Robin cosplay
Cosplayer Alice In The TARDIS has transformed Batman’s sidekick into a petticoat wearing girl. This Robin Lolita cosplay even has a little bow at the waist. Here’s the question. If Robin looks like this… what would Batman look like? Like this post? It might win you an Amazon voucher in this year’s Superhero Week competition. […]
Superhero Week: Gotham Gears and superhero robots
Deviant artist Chasing Artwork, aka Justin Currie, has a fantastic looking art series called Gotham Gears. It takes Batman, friends and foes and re-imagines them as robots.

Superhero Week: Tribal art meets superheroes
These designs are by Native American illustrator Jeffrey Veregge. Veregge has studied traditional salish art and grew up on a reservation known locally as LIttle Boston. Veregge’s site is well worth checking out. He describes his work as reflection of a lifetime love affair with comic books. That’s our type of artist. Keeping up with […]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice logo
Zack Snyder’s next Superman movie will be called Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. We’ve the newly revealed logo too. Some thoughts about the title. Firstly, it puts Batman before Superman. I imagine that was a straight cash battle. There was no super-powered arm wrestling over that honour. Execs knew exactly which Justice League hero […]
Two minute Gotham trailer
Smallville was the TV series prequel to Superman. Gotham is the TV series prequel to Batman. I think the similarities pretty much stop there. This trailer for Gotham looks good. We follow a young Jim Gordon as a detective, watch him promise Bruce Wayne that he’ll catch the killer of his parents. There’s even a […]
