Vampy’s Amazing Genderswapped Nightwing Cosplay

by Susana Polo | 3:34 pm, October 11th, 2012

As the superhero identity of Dick Grayson, the all-grown-up first Robin, Nightwing’s almost always been the superhero identity of a dude. Notable exceptions being the Nightwing of the Smallville setting and Power Girl while trying to police the Kryptonian city of New Kandor. But cosplayer Vampy isn’t dressed as any of those. Rather she’s clearly drawing inspiration from the version of Nightwing that appears in Batman: Arkham City, and who cares if he’s not a chick. She’s done an incredible job.

DC Comics Starts Selling Licensed Art Prints Of Their Properties (Finally!)

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, August 7th, 2012

You’ve seen them on Tumblr, Etsy, DeviantArt, etc. – amazingly artistic images you’d love to hang on your wall, featuring your favorite DC Comics characters. Fans have wished DC would get behind the idea and sell similar items for a while now. Well, it seems they’ve finally heard us. DC Comics have begun selling a range of archival prints, previously sold at the C2E2 convention in Chicago, in their DC Collectibles shop. They lean towards the minimalist approach (something we appreciate on this site) but also cover art deco, classic illustration, theater posters and more. Take a look at what they’ve got to offer.

Things We Saw Today: Synchronized Swimming is Charmingly Over-the-Top

by Alanna Bennett | 5:00 pm, August 6th, 2012

The Olympics brings forth a whole lot of really epic photographs–and also some silly ones. In the best of times, they are combinations of the two. The Frisky has a gallery of some of the best shots of Olympic synchronized swimming, and you really need to go look at it.

Our Favorite TDKR Rumor of the Day: One Of These Women Might Actually Be in TDKR

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:49 am, November 22nd, 2011

I was going to stick this into the “hold on to your butts” category because…woah…but since there’s no confirmation I chose “rumory.” We’ve just heard that a certain DC Comics superheroine might have a role in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises and that a famous actress has already been filming as her. The HUGE spoiler and a photo that corroborates the story is under the cut.

The New 52 in Review: Week 3

by Christopher Holden | 3:26 pm, September 22nd, 2011

Christopher Holden continues a series reviewing the New 52 with…

WONDER WOMAN

Editor’s Note: If you buy one New 52 comic this week, I hope it’s Wonder Woman #1. I hope it excites many of you when I say: If you like Sandman, or Hellblazer you will finish the issue in what feels like way too soon and be begging for more.

Unlike many of the other new 52 relaunches, there is no retelling of Diana’s origins. She simply IS Wonder Woman, and she is not one to be trifled with. Connections to the Greek gods are still an important aspect of the story, although given the looks of Hermes and Apollo, there may be more to the Greek Pantheon than meets the eye. Like any great Greek tale, the story begins in medias res, and although there is not a lot of focus on Diana, she is presented as a warrior who has been thrust into a new adventure of many. Wonder Woman has been reinvented several times over the last couple years, and I think this is the best interpretation we have seen since DC: The New Frontier.
