Gotham Gears: Batman Characters Turned Into Robots

This is a very unique take on Gotham’s many characters from artist ChasingArtwork. It is a series of vector paintings titled Gotham Gears. This colorful and unique series features Catwoman, The Joker, Batman, Bane, Mr. Freeze & The Penguin as robots. Some of our favorites are below.

Now we know what Batman and friends would look like as post apocalyptic robots and I like it. I would read that comic book. Bane is still the largest and Batman is very Spawn-like.

Star Wars Gaming Tribute Art

I’m loving this colorful Star Wars Gaming Tribute Art. And since Star Wars fever is everywhere right now, this is a good time to share it. Artist Rob Duenas has outdone himself with this piece. There is so much to see in this amazing artwork, I’m still not sure I have noticed all of the details.

All of the cool Star Wars games are here. Star Wars arcade games, the old Atari 2600 games, the computer games from the 90s. There is just so much here. I like all of the little touches like the Han Solo in Carbonite keychain hanging next to a mini Lando on Leia’s Boba Fett backpack. It’s so colorful and playful. Leia knows how to game with the best of them.

Ralph Steadman’s Illustrations For Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451

Ray Bradbury is one of Science Fictions greatest authors. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fahrenheit 451 in 2003, artist Ralph Steadman was commissioned to illustrate Bradbury’s classic book. When Bradbury saw the work that Steadman did for the book, it blew him away. You can see why. These illustrations definitely compliment Bradbury’s style. I’ve never seen these before, but I had to share, because these are sooo awesome. They are so frantic and energetic.

Star Trek Spock 1:12 Collective Action Figure From Mezco

Can you look at this new Mezco figure and not think of it as the best TOS era Spock action figure ever? No, you can’t. Because it quite simply is the best. If you can show me a better Spock from that era, I’d love to see it. This is the first in Mezco’s new One:12 Collective range of super-detailed actions figures. I can’t wait to see more of the crew.

He has a real fabric uniform. He also has two head sculpts: one with an arched eyebrow. He also comes with multiple hands, including live long and prosper and mind meld poses. The equipment is just as good as the rest of this set. The communicator, phaser and tricorder have articulated details as well. Not to mention the fact that this is a stunning likeness to Leonard Nimoy. Well done Mezco. You have my money. Spock will be available in June, but you can pre-order him right now.

The X-Files By-The-Numbers

I want to believe. I’ve always been more of a Mulder than a Scully. How about you? I can’t wait for the X-Files to be back on TV. As we get ready for a new season of the classic show, brush up on your X-Files knowledge with this cool infographic that shows the history of the X-Files.

It will let you know what the deadliest episode of The X-Files was, for instance. Ever wonder how many of the 202 hours were mythology-based? This infographic will tell you. The truth is out there. Or in this case, right here in one handy chart. Fox has done all of the hard work and come up with all of these facts and numbers.

Hot Toys’ Batman v Superman Batmobile

The real star of any Batman movie is the Batmobile, not Batman. This vehicle has gone through many changes over the years, but it is always packed with cool features and gadgets. What else would you expect from a crime fighting man of wealth? The Batmobile in Batman v Superman is no exception. It’s a car that steals the show. This Hot Toys sixth-scale replica has working lights, moving parts, and a cockpit that is super detailed. As usual, this thing looks amazing.

This is a sneak peak ahead of its official reveal at the 2015 Toy Soul show in Hong Kong. We even have a cool video. Hopefully more info will come soon so we know when to get that mortgage on the house.

Marvel And DC Superhero Families

You know who the real heroes are? People who are all about family. Good moms and dads are way more super than Batman and Wonder Woman. I guess that’s why I like this art series from French artist Andry Shango. These images are adorable and all about “Super Families”.

He manages to convey a ton of emotion in these images, even though you don’t see faces. That just blows me away. It’s always fun to see our heroes in new ways. In this case, we see them as more family oriented.

New Batman v Superman Character Posters

Here are 3 new character posters for Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, focusing on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. These three heroes are all looking intense and determined.

We still have a long wait for this movie, but this is one that I am super excited about. It has the potential to be HUGE. Batman and Superman will pound on each other, sure. But they are going to have to team up to face an even greater threat, with some help from Wonder Woman and a few others.

The Daily Lives Of Superheroes And Villains

We can never get enough of seeing fictional characters doing everyday things just like us mere mortals. I think it makes us feel more heroic somehow and by seeing superheroes and pop culture characters doing things like laundry and using public restrooms, it kind of brings them down closer to our level.

This series of amazing photographs comes from Canada-based photographer Daniel Picard. It shows superheroes, supervillains and other pop-culture characters doing all of the stuff that we do. He uses action figures, but you would swear that some of those characters are real people dressed in a costume. You can check out his Figure Fantasy book for many more.
