I have a bad case of Cumberbatch Fatigue. It's due in part to his inexplicable omnipresence in all my favorite genre fiction, but mostly to his unimpressive turn as a white-washed Khan in Star Trek: Into Darkness. I'm not here to squeal with fannish excitement about his upcoming starring role in Dr. Strange. I'm here to grumpy-cat my way through the news about his equally clueless cast-mates.

If you were holding out hope for Guillermo del Toro to work with DC Comics superheroes, I've got some bad news for you. But Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to make you feel better by describing an "absolutely mind-blowingly awesome" Sandman movie.

The cover also reads, "Death to the Flag, Long Live the South."

Tara Schultz, a college student in Southern California, is protesting the graphic novels she was asked to read for her English 250 class at Crafton Hills College, calling the novels "pornography" and "garbage."

One Million Moms is at it again, petitioning Fox to drop their plans to produce Lucifer, a show based on the character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman.

It looks like Fox is going to continue exploring the comic book world, because they just ordered Lucifer to be adapted into a TV series.

Yup, another DC Comics property is getting the pilot treatment.

Welcome to a special New Years edition of Pull It Together, where I will almost not even be telling you what comics come out this week.

Neil Gaiman, destroyer of dreams, wants to set the record straight for any fans out there who thought his praise of Hiddleston's cheekbones meant the British actor was definitively cast to play Morpheus in the film adaptation of The Sandman.

You should know, there is a significant lack of Tom Hiddleston/Morpheus fan art out there. Get to work, nerds!

When there was a changing of the creative team in Batgirl earlier this year, many readers asked, “What will happen to Alysia?” Batgirl's roommate, created by Gail Simone, made headlines across the internet when she confided to her Bat-roomie that she was trans. Discussions sparked around how the depiction of Alysia would represent trans people: Would Alysia become a trope and fall victim to the ways that trans women have been previously characterized in media?

DC Comics is making a full-steam-ahead effort of translating several of its Vertigo comic book series to the small and big screen. Let's look at other Vertigo properties that are begging to be given the live-action touch for television.

The official Arrow twitter account posted this teaser image of this week's episode "The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak." Look familiar?

Hey, I get to use my favorite Sandman top pic!

New York Comic Con kicks off this Thursday, and in theory if you've decided to cosplay then you have your costume mostly done by this point. But you and I, fellow procrastinators, know better. Sometimes you want to go as something, but you have neither the money nor the time to rig up a steampunk Harley Quinn outfit or some genderswapped Monterey Jack from Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers duds. Enter closet cosplay: The last vestige of the casual, lazy, cheap, and/or pressed-for-time cosplayer.

Looks like Fox is ready to give NBC's Constantine a run for its Judeochristian demon-snagging, DC Comics-inspired money. But instead of a Billy Idol lookalike demon hunter, they're going for a David Bowie lookalike demon king. Err, demon piano bar owner. Whichever he feels like, man.

Yup, still happening.
