It’s not every day that we get to see our favorite heroes and villains in street clothes rather than their usual outfits. Artist Mingjue Helen Chen created this lineup of DC superheroes and villains so we could see what they look like when they dress a bit more like we do. It would be fun to see some of these as cosplay too. Fantastic art.
Check out Catwoman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Supergirl and Poison Ivy here then go check out Mingjue Helen Chen’s website for more cool stuff.
Travis Durden’s aim with these images is to illustrate that ‘the natural life cycle of myths and idols involves their destruction’. Every hero has a downfall. So the french artist created these digital compositions that show the eventual demise of Batman, in collaboration with several other photographers whose images document abandoned buildings around the world. Durden adds elements from Batman’s life into each frame.
It puts Batman in a post apocalyptic world where he is the guardian of essentially nothing. These images are haunting, sad and eerie. You thought he was brooding before! These images make me uneasy. Batman needs a thriving city around him.

I love what I see of this cool proof of concept trailer called Ickerman. It looks like Blade Runner and part chase movie. Right from the get go we see this guy as a loner in a futuristic world. His clothes are from another time, he’s driving an old Ford, while all around him the futuristic vehicles are in pursuit of him. Here’s the synopsis:
Taking place in a futuristic megalopolis where new technologies and virtual reality are ruling society, ICKERMAN is an original story following a nostalgic teacher obsessed with 35 mm films and old cars. After a string of disturbing events, he falls into his imaginary world and starts acting like the characters he admires to deliver his best friend from the guru of this digital era.
The movie is to be directed by French filmmaking team Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard. Ickerman is to be their first feature film. They are currently looking for funding, hoping to start shooting the full film in 2017. I know I would like to see what they can do after watching that trailer, which was shot in one night in Paris. The VFX were completed in just three months with one VFX artist working on it. The budget? Only 1,000 euro. I’m impressed. I hope they get the funding and make this movie.

They already make the most realistic 12-inch action figures anywhere, but that isn’t enough, now Hot Toys has announced that they will be making a new scale of figure. Life-sized action figures. That’s right. What you see here is a 7-foot, 2-inch figure. Next they will be cloning the actors and offering living life-sized figures. Give them a few decades.
The eyes light up, it has a BvS logo base and as usual it is incredibly detailed. We don’t know when Hot Toys will release this huge figure,but the price will be out of my reach, I know that much.

The scene where Rey and BB-8 first met is recreated here with the Teedo scavenger and the Luggabeast. This amazing recreation was made by LEGO Ideas member hongtzer. It is their idea of a proposed playset and it is really expertly done. I can’t imagine LEGO would do a better job. It is perfect.
Which makes it a bit heartbreaking, because this concept has arrived a bit too late. LEGO already has a Teedo minifig and a luggabeast on the way as part of an upcoming set called Encounter on Jakku (75148). Oh well, we can still admire hongtzer’s work and give them credit where credit is due. Great build.

I love seeing how much work goes into making sci-fi and fantasy movies look real. It’s like learning how the magician does the magic trick. I am more in awe of how the trick is done than what it looks like on stage. This Jurassic World VFX reel offers a great look at what went into making those dinosaurs so real. The recipe for success is in large part just grown-ups pretending to be dinosaurs. Best job ever! It’s more than that of course, but that is what stands out in this VFX reel and it is really fun to watch.
Want to transform your car into a vehicle worthy of a superhero? A company called WrapStyle Singapore is making some amazing superhero wraps that are just plain out of this world. You can see them here on several sports cars.
They have Captain America, Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man and more. These are some really impressive designs. Then again, these wraps are shown on exotic cars. They might not look as amazing on your minivan or Ford Escort.

The more I see of this movie, the more excited I get. We don’t have a long wait now before Batman v Superman hits theaters. Empire Magazine has released some new photos from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on their iPad app, and DCEU Facts shared these on Twitter. I don’t think we have seen most of these.
The movie is less than two months away. I hope it is as amazing as it looks. We see Bruce Wayne visiting a bunch of dead loved ones, Wonder Woman deflecting something with her bracers, Superman in control of the Bat Signal and much more. There’s a lot here to digest. Love the atmosphere on that concept art too.

What would Marvel superheroines look like is they had lived in the year 1887? Thanks to artist Michael Dooney we have an idea. He drew this cool series titled “1887 Ladies” and these ladies look spectacular. They are elegant, with steampunk and Victorian and old west style. I think my favorite is Black Widow. These are so stylish and beautiful. See more here.
