What does it take to design magazine covers? Clearly not any sort of photoshop skill.

Daaaaamn, Rayne Bidder and Jennifer Zhang were great in Death Wish - the former for comedy and the latter for kickass fight choreography.

A special shoutout goes to Batman and Robin's massive, Schumacher-costume man-sacks and nipples, which they wore without the slightest hint of irony. And the Robin/Nightwing fistbump.

Rayne Bidder was the stand out performance in Death wish. Well done, girl.

Dang, Black Widow, could you just...your hair is right almost in your eye there, could you just put it back a little? Just a little bit? Maybe get a headband or something?

"If you thought the original ThunderCats series was bonkers, early concept art proves that it could have been even more stunning."

Huh?

Very nearly all those designs made it to the final show unaltered. Sure, the Pumm-Ra design you show changed considerably, and there are a few on there that never made it onto the show, but I really don't see much that makes me think the show could have been "even more stunning."

that Hi and Lois strip is totally confusing me. I really want to understand it, he seems unethusiasitc with the movie version, which is in black and white except the reflection...
can anyone help? is this referencing past Hi and Lois continuity that I have missed?

Wasn't there a movie post for Spider-Man 3, that had him hanging like that and looking at the black-costume-reflection of himself?

Not that it makes the strip make any more sense, or anything, but that's what I thought it referred to.

Best part about BATMAN: DEATH WISH? Nightwing using air quotes.

Also, impressive that they managed to get Batman to play himself. He's pretty particular about the film projects to which he'll commit.
