Pfffft, who needs Batman to come to the rescue when you’ve got two perfectly awesome superheroes? Let these Batgirl and Robin cosplayers show you how it’s done. Even The Dark Knight, one of the best and coolest superheroes around, needs a little help sometimes, which is why he has Robin and Batgirl to lend a [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Two-Face Is Double Trouble

Britt Hayes — Wed, 08 May 2013 14:10:03 +0000

Of all the Batman villains to cosplay, Two-Face is one of our favorites because he seems to bring out the most creativity in fans, like this gent straight outta London. Where to begin with Two-Face… He’s one of Batman’s most important villains, for sure. Harvey Dent and Bruce Wayne were BFFs, but then Harvey had [...]

'Man of Steel'-ers beware of potential spoilers ahead...

On April 22, it was reported that Michael “I Make Things Go Boom” Bay, apologized to a reporter from The Miami Herald for the third act of his 1998 smash, ‘Armageddon.’ He said: I will apologize for Armageddon, because we had to do the whole movie in 16 weeks.

Cosplay of the Day: Riddler and Two-Face are Up to No Good, Obviously

Britt Hayes — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:00:50 +0000

What’s more troublesome than one Batman villain? Two Batman villains, of course. It’s always more dangerous when the Dark Knight’s foes combine forces, but the cosplay is always so much cooler. Lhars Ebersold and her friend Taffeta Darling cosplayed as the Riddler and Two-Face, respectively, for a comic convention last year. Yep, that’s right, you’re looking [...]

Batman Is Now Training Soldiers in Afghanistan

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:54:45 +0000

It’s good to see these soldiers still have their sense of humor in a place where anything can happen. Then again, should something go down, America’s own Caped Crusader has their backs. There’s been a recent series of Army safety PSA’s popping up online from quite an unexpected place. A US soldier stationed in Bagram [...]

Cosplay of the Day: This Joker Is Pretty Serious

Britt Hayes — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:00:59 +0000

We see a lot (a lot) of people cosplaying as various versions of the Joker from the Batman films, and even though the Heath Ledger version from Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' is pretty popular, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cosplayer who does it better than this guy.

Cosplay of the Day: An Appropriately Miniature Damian Wayne as Robin

Britt Hayes — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:22:20 +0000

Perhaps Batman’s tiniest sidekick to date, Damian Wayne (son of Batman himself) is a cute — but deadly — little ass-kicker, and we love this tiny imitation. Yesterday we brought you a classic Batgirl courtesy of Teri Standiford, a reader who submitted her own cosplay photos, and today we bring you another submission from Teri [...]

Today’s cosplay is a reader submission from Teri Standiford, a comic book fan from Florida who really knows how to bring comic book characters to life. Browsing her Facebook [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Batman and Tiny Robin to the Rescue!

Britt Hayes — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:46:53 +0000

We know, we know — we post a lot of Batman-themed cosplay around here, but how could we resist this Caped Crusader and his cute little Boy Wonder? Bob Kieffer is one of the world’s greatest dads — at least, that’s what we think after checking out his cool father/son cosplay. Bob is a huge [...]

Cosplay of the Day: Bane's a Real Back-Breaker

Britt Hayes — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:30:10 +0000

You’d think we’d be sick of seeing people cosplay as Bane from ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ but this guy’s spot-on costume is too awesome to ignore. Ryan Denton of Chandler, Arizona put together this great Bane cosplay, which was featured in TheRPF forums. It’s one of the most screen-accurate Bane costumes we’ve yet to see [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:39:32 +0000

The mystery of the “The Bradford Batman” has been solved. And let’s just say it’s not as exciting as it could’ve been. Last week wanted criminal Danny Frayn was deposited in a police station in Bradford, England by a man dressed as the Caped Crusader. Before the authorities had the chance to thank the costumed vigilante for [...]

Christine Gritmon — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:33:51 +0000

This Valentine’s Day, millions will cuddle up with their cats and a box of Dove bars and sink into a juicy romance novel.

Batman Reboot Won't Hit Theaters Until After 2017

Mike Sampson — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:51:47 +0000

Sorry Bat-fans. If you were looking for a new Batman movie some time soon, you’re going to get disappointed. It looks like we won’t see a ‘Dark Knight’ reboot for quite a while. So what’s the hold up? With the ‘Dark Knight’ and Batman franchise pulling in big bucks for Warner Bros., you’d think they [...]

In 1965 George Barris bought a 1955 Lincoln Futura for one dollar. He just auctioned it off for $4.6 million. Granted, Barris, 87, put about $15,000 into vehicle after his initial purches.
