DC Comics has, famously, declared that Batman doesn’t eat p****. That’s because, “It's hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.” So, they’re not morally opposed to it, per se. But it’s money, not morality, that drives these storylines – and that’s always been the case. It just so happens that, decades ago, the best way to sell comics was to explore the romantic, sexual taboos that teenage boys found intriguing. And that's what we're exploring on this very specia l Valentine's…

Fact: Not all Batmans were created equal. Sorry Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Adam West, Michael Keaton, and Robert Pattinson, here's ironclad proof that the best Batman was and will always be Kevin Conroy (RIP).

Remember a time before comic book movies were popular? Yeah, me neither. If the past ten years are any indicator, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Cinematic doo-doo pile are here to stay. But what if Marvel and DC and everybody else were honest about how they make their dumb comic book movies? Roger Horton investigates.

These are the tip top cosplays and costumes we saw at San Diego Comicon 2022. From the Marvel universe, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, fantasy games, and cartoons, there was everything you could imagine coming to life in downtown San Diego. Pop culture's best collection of weirdos, obsessives, and generally awesome individuals all gather in one place once a year. America's Finest City. Now let's go see what all the fuss is about.

Have y'all ever realized that politics can be kind of boring? That's why we're so lucky to have memes to spice current events up with wacky main characters. People who aren't on social media miss out on the fun side of politics facilitated by memes. While the events of January 6th were crazy and memeable in their own right, a new meme man has emerged from the hearings of the storming of the Capitol, and that meme's name is Clark Kent .

When Avatar came out in 2009, we all thought that CGI and visual effects could only improve from there. However, that hasn't necessarily been the case, especially with flicks like Thor: Love and Thunder. The sequel to Thor: Ragnorok has been the subject of criticism for its uncanny and ugly CGI effects. These strange visuals are not merely caused by poor artistry, but they happen because VFX teams are often overworked, and are asked to do more than they can handle given the time constraints. Th…

Another day, another superhero debate.

America is a big, beautiful mess. Each state has its own unique identity, some so distinct that many Americans can easily recognize a state based on a few key characteristics. Redditor u/Thomas_The_Llama recently prompted the people of r/AskReddit to describe their states without revealing any names, and the resulting thread is very entertaining (unless, of course, you're not American , in which case you might be a little confused).

Exciting developments in 'Batman: Urban Legends'

Whoops!

Batman's sex life is being heavily debated

About half of us were first exposed to now-famous superhero comics via out-of-context comic panels used as internet memes, but we looked up the original issues and those memes are actually UNDERSELLING the glorious stupidity and insanity of the original stories. Stories like the Joker's "boner" fixation, Captain America's public "wanking," and the time Batman got slap-happy with his little buddy.
