Culture Buzz And not some half-formed, new hero to appease their diversifying audience. Who in the DC stable of characters do you think is the most likely candidate?

All you need to become a superhero is a little motivation. And a lot of bad luck.
Culture Buzz Living in Seattle just got a lot more interesting. In response to vigilante Phoenix Jones, a new breed of super-villain has been born. Seriously. This is actually happening and not a parody of “Watchmen”.
They're fed up of saving the world, they're angry, and they're screaming their guts out.
Originally planned as a “Shit Batman Says” video, these Toronto-pranksters instead out-Batmanned the Batman himself.
Culture Buzz Someone get the man some gamma-infused laxatives, STAT. Sculpture found at a shopping mall in South Korea. (Seriously.)
Culture Buzz Can you name the superhero based solely on their predominant color? Artist Gidi Vigo created a series of hyper minimalist posters with nothing but a superhero's Pantone color match, now converted into a nerdy graphic design quiz. Answers at the bottom!
Culture Buzz This little guy is the epitome of feline agility. I think it needs to be the official superhero of all things cat. (via thedailywh.at)
What makes up Batman? Here's a very accurate formula. Thankfully there were a few things from the past few years that have been omitted from the equation.
Food Buzz As long as there is evil in the world, I will continue to fight. But first I have to take a little break …
Take all my money! Sure, it's digital paint splatters, but that doesn't make them any less cool. (via geekologie.com)
Culture Buzz “Can y'all do the stanky leg for the happy birthday boy?” This is beyond bizarre.
This 2-year-old saved her diabetic mother's life, and now wears a towel like a superhero cape. (via WNNfans.com)
Hard to tell the difference in this case. Dedicated to the release of Arkham City, with thanks to Nerdeux.
Style Buzz Female armor can't catch a break. If we're being honest, I'd never even considered these particular costume hazards.
Culture Buzz Parisians know what real art is. Part of an exhibit at the St. Pierre on Rue Ronsard, these photos were snapped by Jalal Gerald Aro but the sculptures are by an unnamed artist.
Culture Buzz How do you make Angry Birds even better? Give 'em superpowers. [Ed. note: Weirdly, the converse does not hold true. Giving superheroes Angry Birds powers makes them way suckier.] (Via)
Movie Buzz The reboot that has no reason to exist keeps looking better and better. (via comicscavern.com)
TV Buzz
On Monday, August 8 HBO will air a documentary about idiots who are going to get themselves shot real-life superheroes. They’ll be turning their cameras on costumed do-gooders like Mr. Xtreme in San Diego and the New York based Dark Guardian. And as any good superhero will tell you there’s three things you need to help you fight crime: Martial arts training, costume design skills and your very own poster. Well, at least they’ve got the poster. (Via)
The ultimate geeky birthday cake. Justice never tasted so sweet. (via dorkly.com)
Culture Buzz The title pretty much covers it. I don't know where you got this idea from JKB Fletcher but the comic book nerds of the world thank you.
Really? Spider-Man 3 is the number two top grossing superhero film? For shame. Hollywood’s been churning out superhero movies for more than half a century now, but it’s only in the past decade that they’ve really become an all-encompassing cultural phenomenon.
Culture Buzz User Nanonanonano suggested that we run with this photo in the Superhero Girls post. Think you can caption better than me? Add your own.
Culture Buzz A bunch of cute women doing cosplay at this year's WonderCon. Thank you, nerds. Thank you.
superHarmony helps mere mortals find love among comic book heros. Well, not really, but if they could hook me up with Gambit from X-Men, that would be awesome. Who would be your super honey?
