Sports Are Hard Enough Without Competing Against Dinosaurs

And now, competing for Team Cretaceous, it’s Parasaurolophus! Artist Woon Jung has a series of fantastic art incorporating dinosaurs into everyday sports. In addition to being wonderfully bright and fun, the little details really make these. Look at the expressions on the humans. And the dinosaurs. More of Woon Jung’s art can be found here.

How’s It Feel to Be the Damsel, Batman?

Batwoman’s saving your life, you grumpy ol’ billionaire. The words you’re looking for are “thank you.” The newly relaunched Detective Comics is undeniably fun. One of the reasons it’s so enjoyable is that it’s had a Batman who isn’t unbeatably good at all the things, coming up against a better organized enemy that managed to…

Cower Before a Magical ‘Honey Badger’ and Five Other Fantastic Beasts

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them has really made it hard to actually find any beasts. At least, until now.

Open Channel: Just How Much is Gotham Beyond Saving?

Gotham is one of those shows that’s aged way too fast for its own good, and I honestly don’t know how much longer we have until Fox sends it to a farm upstate. Season 3 hasn’t even started yet, and at least half of the characters have reached their Batman-era peak. Selena Kyle and The…

Wonder Woman Director Responds to Accusations that the Film is a ‘Mess’

The Wonder Woman film is still nearly a year away from being released, but there’s already a lot riding on it. The amount of pressure on the solo movies in the DC movieverse to set up the franchise is so high that we would’t be shocked if Diana herself couldn’t hold it up. And if…

Kylo Ren Loses It While Watching the Rogue One Trailer

You’d think Kylo Ren would be happy to see his grandfather once again on the big screen, but that’s not the case in his latest reaction video to the new Rogue One trailer.

All-Star Batman Offers a Brilliant Twist on a Classic Bat-Villain

Two-Face thinks he can turn everyone in Gotham City and the surrounding state into a greedy no-good criminal lowlife with the promise of cold, hard cash and the threat of suddenly revealed secrets. He’s probably right. I’ve always thought that Two-Face was second only to the Joker in Batman’s rogues’ gallery. His past as a…
