Culture Buzz Clowns and little people and bulls…oh, my. Here are some frankly weird images of dwarf bullfighting in Colombia and Mexico. Plus some not-so-little people dressed as Smurfs, Captain America and Superman for some reason.
Culture Buzz Max Landis (son of “Animal House” director John) argues in not-totally-accurate detail why killing Superman was the death of “death” in comic books. Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Ron Howard and other celebs also take part.

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.
Celebrity Buzz For all y'all doubters who thought Henry Cavill was stuffing his tights. From the Vancouver set of Zack Snyder's “Man of Steel.” More like “Man of ROCK HARD BEEFCAKE.” Homina.
Culture Buzz So this is Herbert Chavez, who looks normal and not at all creepy. Strike that. Reverse it. (via abcnews.go.com)
How many DC characters can you spot? Never mind why these heroes on taking mass transit. Just sit back and enjoy the art style. I particularly dig the ads across the top. (via geektyrant.com)

Bet that went down well with the authorities! (Via The Telegraph.)
