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 […]
Flamebait: If male superheroes were treated equally by pin-up artists
Stephen Byrne has one picture on his Deviant Art profile at the time of posting. It’s this one. It has hundreds of comments. At a first glance it looks like another way to point out how female superheroes can be drawn very differently from male superheroes. Is there more to it, though? The title is […]
Short film: Deathstroke – Arkham Assassin
Plenty of blood and splatter in this one. This short film is set before the events in Batman: Arkham Origins. The crime lord Black Mask has put a bounty on Batman’s head and lured eight great assassins to Gotham City. Perhaps foremost among those assassins is Deathstroke who has to demonstrate his skills to the […]
Short film: Batman – Strange Days
We’ve seen plenty of unofficial Batman films and animations but Strange Days comes from DC Entertainment themselves. The animation marks the 75th anniversary and is from producer Bruce Timm. Strange Days is a lost tale from Batman’s past in which the Dark Knight follows an odd giant into the lair of Dr. Hugo Strange. Risk […]
Geeky workouts
Is “geeky workout” an oxymoron? Hmm, I suspect not, some of the geeks I know are also gym bunnies. I think Neila Ray might also classify. Her site has everything from workouts to fitness tips and recipes… but there’s a geeky flare too. For example, these visual workouts are a case in point.
Frozen parody: Do you wanna kill the Batman?
Do you want to build a snowman? In this alternative to one of the songs in Disney’s Frozen Syndey Amber adopts the role of Harley Quinn and tries to talk the Joker into killing the Dark Knight. Do you wanna kill the Batman? Okay, bye.

There’s over 200 different black and white illustrations. Short film fan? Use this teleport link and the site […]
Rockabilly Batman custom action figure
We’ve had some Rockabilly Batman designs on Geek Native before but this is the first time that I’m aware of that anyone’s pushed on to make a custom model. There’s a DCUS Starman model in here with DCUC Batman head. Modder Matt Handcock made the jacket, sculpted the chest symbol, gloves, goggles, boots and even […]
Sengoku Batman art series
“Sengoku” is a period of history from Japan that’s sometimes also called the Warring States Period. It foreshadows the unification of political power and the Tokugawa shogunate. Artist Scott Wade, who currently works at Airtight Games, is the talent behind this set of “Sengoku Batman” illustrations. I’ve no idea whether the style is perfectly right […]
A real and fully functional batarang boomerang
Victor Poulin makes Boomerangs and sells them online (when his hostgator site is up). The creations are handmade from 10 ply birch wood and his YouTube channel tends to show trick shots, catching techniques and tips on how to throw. This video shows a large batarang being thrown over a field of snow. You get […]
