Bat-laundry day

Foggy Knight

Superheroes make us stronger

New study suggests that superheroes influence man’s self-worth and physical strength!

And meanwhile a real superhero in the streets of Brazil.

Only in Brazil

Elections are coming up in Brazil and a few familiar names are running for office.

Dark Knight

Finally Christopher Nolan is done sucking the fun out of Batman and infusing it with grandiose self-importance. A lot didn't make any sense and the editing was choppy, but at least you don't feel the 2 hours and 44 minutes go by.

Toronto Batman

The Flash isn’t the only superhero running around Toronto these days. The Dark Knight has been scouring the city for information too.

The new DC

DC Comics is on a roll. It unveiled its new logo...

 ...and joined the fight against hunger in Africa (with a little nod to Bowie.)

New Batman trailer

The new Batman preview? Too pretentious and boring for words.

What?

These guys had it right. Que pasa?

Batman & Son

Loving the new Batman and Robin. A delightfully new dynamic that feels so right for the duo.

Animated covers

Artist Kerry Callen turned four classic comic book covers into animated gifs.

British Batman

These days, the British seem to have single-handedly taken over the creation of the modern American superhero mythos. Superman’s history is being currently re-written by Scottish writer Grant Morrisson and in the movies, he’s being played by The Tudors’ Henry Cavill.

Not to mention the new Spider-Man, one-time Doctor Who bit-part player Andrew Garfield (American but has lived in Surrey since he was three).

But none is as steeped in Britannia right now as the Caped Crusader. Christian Bale, cinema’s current Bruce Wayne, is British; director Christopher Nolan is British; and so are most of the co-stars from Gary Oldman to Michael Caine. His recent comic-book adventures are being chronicled by Morrison, who gave him a kid and a franchise. The new hit video game Batman: Arkham City was developed by London video-game developer Rocksteady Studio. And there is, of course, the Batman Live show which played until recently at the O2 Arena in London.

But as it has been noted, if the British have to put up with Robert Downey Jr. playing Sherlock Holmes, I suppose there are worse things than having American vigilantes with British wit.

Batman Live

This is looking pretty good, despite earlier skepticism.
