Things We Saw Today: Batman and Charles Dickens, BFFs

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:00 pm, December 3rd, 2012

Of course Bruce “My parents are dead!” Wayne would be a fan of Charles Dickens. Of course. (The Spectator, via The Beat)

What’s with that North Korean “Unicorn Lair” everyone’s been talking about? The Frisky has details.

Feminist Frequency’s Anita Sarkeesian just did her own TED Talk; check it out at TedXWomen.org.

Looks like someone borrowed a page from the J.J. Abrams School of Lens Flare with this new Man of Steel poster. (Bleeding Cool)

Brave, Adventure Time, Wreck-It Ralph, The Legend of Korra, and (my personal favorite) ParaNorman were all nominated for several Annie Awards, which honors the best in, as the name suggestions, animation. Check out the full list of nominees at The Hollywood Reporter.

Ever wonder how you’d keep up your appearance during a zombie apocalypse? Emily Kinney, who plays The Walking Dead‘s Beth, has your back with this list of beauty tips. (Jezebel)

Whedonverse costume/character designer Shawna Trpcic (Firefly, Dollhouse, Angel, The Cabin in the Woods) has posted a bunch of her concept art online—on eBay, specifically, where she’ll be selling original sketches all month. (blastr)
And last but not least: Who hit 1 million unique visitors for the first time last month? This site! Thanks, readers. We love you. Have an awkward hug.

Okay, if you put the new Star Trek poster and the new Man of Steel poster next to each other with no other distinguishing features… I might have switched the movies to which they belong. I can’t be the only one, right?

I really dislike the Man of Steel poster — it just looks like a blurry screen grab.

The only good thing about the Man of Steel poster is you can’t see the awkward Superman bulge.
