DC superladies don sweaters for cold-weather crimefighting

Don’t superheroes ever get cold? I suppose that spandex might be specially formulated to regulate temperature, but that still doesn’t help with bare-armed superwomen who fly the frigid skies or run through the chilly streets fighting (or committing) crime. These ladies from the DC Universe decide to bundle up instead with some nice cozy sweaters.…

The Justice League goes to grade school in the webcomic Little League

Little League gives DC superheroes a Muppet Babies turn, sending the superfriends back to grade school. Yale Stewart’s webcomic follows Superman and Batman through their first day back…

We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, and other proof that Michael Bay’s not the first to crap on the Ninja Turtles

The internet hasn’t reacted all that keenly to producer Michael Bay’s shitstorm-unleashing revelation that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be space aliens in his upcoming film. https://gizmodo.com/wait-michael-bays-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-might-n-5894310 In fact, Bay’s wholesale revision of the Ninja Turtles’ origins has invoked the ire of Michelangelo voice actor Robbie Rist (who claimed that Bay is “sodomizing” the…

10 Times Batman Acted Like An Absolute Lunatic

Given the fact that Batman is a vigilante who traipses around dressed as a flying guano factory, it’s a damn miracle he’s as straitlaced as he is.

These stereographic monsters twitch wildly to fright and delight

Seattle-based illustrator Dain Fagerholm focuses on weird beasts and their magic gems, but the artist has added an even wackier, extra dynamic twist to his designs. Fagerholm has converted his fearsome beings into stereographic GIFs — two static images are combined to create the illusion of motion and depth, not unlike a Magic Eye. Behold…
