Here’s The Gameplay Trailer For Batman: Arkham Origins

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:15 pm, June 11th, 2013

We finally get to see what gameplay looks like for the forthcoming Batman: Arkham Origins video game. It’s not quite as good as the previous trailer, which made me wish they’d just make a movie instead, but it’s pretty good. I just hope the entire game isn’t you getting shot at every 5 minutes.

Who Needs the Justice League When There’s The Grumpy League of America!

by Isabella Kapur | 4:35 pm, June 10th, 2013

I doubt that Grumpy Cat would do well as Aquaman, given that cats have an aversion to water. Well, at least he would be able to get a constant supply of delicious fish. Maybe hunger makes Grumpy Cat grumpy.

DC & Marvel Character Mashups Make For Some Interesting Cosplay Ideas

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:32 pm, June 8th, 2013

Eric Guzman has some great DC and Marvel animated-style illustrations on his DeviantArt page but it’s his recent mashups that really caught our eye. He combined the general costume ideas for two character to create something incredibly unique. So much so, I’m already trying to figure out how I can pull off Poison Scorpion. And he put some real thought into which two superheroes or villains would come together best. Take a look.

Francesco Francavilla’s Batploitation Gives Us Gotham Circa 1972

by Jill Pantozzi | 10:15 am, June 6th, 2013

Artist Francesco Francavilla does a spectacular job when he’s drawing Batman in our current time but what happens when he decides to take a trip back to the Disco-riffic 70s? ”I have been tinkering recently with a ElseWorlds story/take on Batman set in that 70s styling. So, from the pages of PULP SUNDAY, I give you BATMAN 1972!” he wrote. ” Yes, you are witnessing the first case of BATPLOITATION.” Take a look and see if you this his Comissioner Gordon, Catwoman, and The Riddler, are out-of-sight.

Mini Batgirl Shows Off Her Mini Batcycle

by Isabella Kapur | 12:12 pm, June 3rd, 2013

Reaching this level of cosplay perfection is hard enough for adults. I’m jealous of this Batgirl’s outfit, but her scooter is too perfect. Now if I could just go back in time and be this cool as a kid.

Henry Cavill Would Love To See A Superman/Batman Meeting On The Big Screen

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:46 am, May 24th, 2013

Fans have longed to see Superman and Batman team up in live-action on the big screen for a long time but if our new Man of Steel Henry Cavill had his way, we’d see them fight first.

This Batman: Arkham Origins Trailer Makes Me Wish It Were A Movie Rather Than A Video Game

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:15 pm, May 20th, 2013

None of this is gameplay but I’m kind of speechless right now. I need these people to get to work on a feature film immediately.

Meow: Watch Catwoman Cosplay Piano

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:35 pm, April 30th, 2013

It’s not nearly as dynamic or adventurous as The Walking Dead Cosplay Piano video but in episode two, we do get to see what it would be like if Catwoman was a talented pianist and hear Danny Elfman’s lovely Batman score, and that’s entertaining enough for me.

Batman’s Rogues Gallery Poses For 1940s-Style Mugshots

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:30 pm, April 27th, 2013

These digital mugshots of Batman villains were brought to dapper, terrifying life by artist Jason Mark. He’s only done the Joker, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin and Two-Face so far, and I hazard I’m not alone when I say I’d be thrilled if he did some more.
