Culture Buzz Shhh…don't tell anyone. A behind the scenes preview of the new raft of titles being published by DC. Much like the “leaked” photos of Before Watchmen, we were kindly invited to take these pics.
Culture Buzz Being the arm candy of a superhero should come with hazard pay. Nothing bad has ever happened from abusing your powers to save the one you love. This will end well.
Culture Buzz A sad day for lovers of Joe Biden, satire.
Culture Buzz Swamp Thing must be the black sheep of Treant family reunions. With Scott Snyder at the helm, can this character finally crawl out of B-movie infamy and take his place among A-List DC Comic characters? Find out April 4th, 2012.
Celebrity Buzz Bobby kept it classy during his performance in Maryland on Thursday night. “I'd like to say thank you for your pres[ence] … I'd like to say thank you, period. I'ma throw two up for Whitney. That's my love … Life is life. You have to move on sometimes … My name is Bad Ass Bobby Brown.”
Culture Buzz DC Comics gave BuzzFeed a sneak peek at the first four pages of Aquaman #6, coming out next week. And my god, that is the fastest police response time ever.
Culture Buzz Oh Starfire, at least you're direct? Comics Alliance took some creative liberty with comic panels from the DC reboot, and the result is some serious innuendos.
Culture Buzz Isn't putting “The Flash” on your car sort of tempting fate? Starting November 30th, DC Universe will be tooling around the Outback.
Oh great… Halloween has turned your favorite politicians into zombies. Now instead of votes or money they want your brrrraaaains!
Celebrity Buzz Dammit Batman. There's one in every family; even if that family has superpowers.
Tech Buzz Get off my lawn Netflix/Facebook/Star Wars/DC Comics! Too many changes in too short a time span creates a perfect storm of entitled Internet ranting.
DC Comics honchos Jim Lee and Geoff Johns are subjected to an intense grilling by BuzzFeed editors about their massive relaunch, The New 52. Virtually all of the major DC titles, from Batman to Wonder Woman, are starting over at #1 with brand new stories and mythologies. We confront the DC creative team about this very important event with very stupid questions.
Celebrity Buzz The first good look at an insanely chiseled Henry Cavill in costume for Zack Snyder's “Man of Steel.” Lois Lane is a lucky woman.
Batman & Superman respond to the DC Relaunch in the most appropriate manner. What a couple of drama queens.
Movie Buzz The internet is bountiful with nerd stimulant this day. Over 8 minutes of footage from “Green Lantern” popped up online, none of it spoilery, all of it giving a decent flavor of what the film will ultimately feel like. The final clip in particular, called “Parallax,” shows off Ryan Reynolds making some sweet-ass hard-light constructs with his power ring. *squee* Oh, and Blake Lively.
Culture Buzz Too many multi-verses? Shut. Down. Everything. Starting in September, DC will be hitting the veritable reset button on many of their franchises. Each of these heroes goes back to issue #1 this fall. (via bleedingcool.c)
Culture Buzz A bunch of cute women doing cosplay at this year's WonderCon. Thank you, nerds. Thank you.
Culture Buzz Artist Stanley Chow did what most of us have done at one time or another: imagined Jon Hamm in tights, fighting crime. Why Warner Bros. didn't make this a reality instead of casting some limey as Superman, Zod only knows. But if Christian Bale doesn't return for a fourth Batman film, there's hope. Desperate, sweaty hope.
Culture Buzz A wonderful series of “what if” funny book covers by Comics Alliance. There is no amount of money I wouldn't pay to see “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen America: 1988.” Much more over at Comics Alliance.
Culture Buzz The artist known as Boneface did a series of illustrations with effed up and vibrantly bleeding superheroes. There's something strangely gratifying about seeing Robin with his ass beat.
Culture Buzz Artist and avid cyclist Mike Joos does an ongoing series of illustrations depicting various geek icons on their bikes. From Spider-Man to Dale Earnhardt, everyone loves a good bike ride. Yes, Dale Earnhardt is a geek icon. NASCAR fans are nerds.
Culture Buzz Artist Chet Phillips reimagined famous superbeings as Victorian gentlepeoples and roustabouts of sublime wonderment. Available in trading card sets, there's the Union of Superlative Heroes and the Order of Nefarious Villains. Excelsior!
Culture Buzz Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, et al. reimagined as contemporaries of the Sex Pistols. Another Warren Ellis challenge from the Whitechapel forums. In the same vein as Batman Steampunk Posters, just minus the steam.
The logical follow up to Minimalist Superheroes. I know the “minimalist” thing is getting a bit shark jumpy, but this is still a fun test of your Nerd Quotient.
