Bidding Is Open

Ever wanted to own a piece of comics history? Now's your chance. Batman-creator Bob Kane's own comic book collection is up for auction. The sale includes early issues of Detective Comics; Batman numbers 1, 2, and 3; and a mint copy of the first issue of The Incredible Hulk (one of only four known to exist). They won't come cheap but for the right collector, it'll be worth every cent.

Batman vs Sherock: Epic

A friend of mine told me about Epic Rap Battles of History and sent me the link to Batman vs Sherlock Holmes. At first I just thought it was weird--then I was hooked.

Batman Burlesque

In Toronto? Always thought Penguin could be sexy if he just worked it? Then you might want to check out the Batman Burlesque show this Saturday (4 June) at Toronto Underground Cinema (186 Spadina Ave). Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder...

Bat Wars

Don't tell Lucas--he might try to re-make the movies again (Han Solo was Batman all along)...

Found here.

Alternate Reality Movie Posters

If I were suddenly offered three wishes I'd have to use one to see Boris Karloff as Freddy Krueger. And it would be worth it.





These are my favourites but you can see more here.

Samurai Jack: All About Aku

This is such a great cartoon, and Aku is an awesome villain. If you haven't seen Samurai Jack, wait no longer. (By the way, this is a fan-made video and the music is the theme from Batman Beyond.)

Holy Confusion, Batman!

As evil as the Abnormal Drug Trafficker is, the real criminal here is the person who opened the package!
