Batman In Mexico

What if Batman visited Mexico? It’s a question I’ve never thought about. Photographer Faridde Orozco thought about it and set out to find out just what that would be like. This series of photographs are the answer.

These shots are beautiful and you know what? The location may have changed from Gotham to Mexico, but Batman is just doing his usual thing. Brooding and looking out over the city from rooftops, mostly keeping to the shadows. I really like getting a tour of the city from Batman’s point of view. Awesome. My hope is that Faridde takes some other heroes to other cities and shows us the results.

Wild Animal Stormtrooper Helmets

New York based designer Blank William has reinterpreted the iconic Stormtrooper helmet in a very interesting way. These are not like any other Stormtrooper helmets you have ever seen. They bear the likeness of an elephant, a rhino and hippo.

Aside from looking like jungle animals, the helmets come in two styles: The New Order in both black and white. The black ones have contrasting gold elements, and the white has white and black tones with chrome accents. Even though we have seen many unique takes on Stormtrooper helmets, it is amazing that there can still be designs that come completely out of left field. This is truly a unique take on the Empire’s workforce.

Our Favorite Movie Scenes In Pixel Art Style

Behance user Gustavo Viselner created this series of 8-Bit pixel art based on classic scenes from some of our favorite movies. These scenes make me want to play some old video games based on these movies.

Back To The Future 1 and 2 are represented here, Aliens, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and more. I love these images. So classic. Each have phrases from the scene underneath too. Great work Gustavo. You really captured these moments perfectly. They all have this great atmosphere.

Star Trek Sports Team Logo Designs

If you love both sports and Star Trek, these Star Trek sports team logo designs are the perfect mashup. The best of both worlds you might say. That was a little Star Trek humor. Tough crowd.

The teams here include the Borg Drones, the Gorn Rockthrowers, the Bat’leths of Kronos and many more. I love these designs. The Redshirt Expendables… They never win a game.

Pop Culture Characters As Fossils

French artist Georges le Mercenaire created this series that imagines famous Pop Culture characters, mostly robots, as fossils dug up by some fictional future generation. Below are just some of them. I love art like this that thinks outside of the box and shows you familiar things in new ways. It’s a fantastic concept.

Among the Sci-Fi characters presented here are Twiki from Buck Rogers, a Cylon, an AT-AT, Darth Vader, Bender from Futurama and more.

Alien Queen Cosplay

This Alien Queen Cosplay based on the alien queen from Aliens 2 is more beautiful than terrifying. It was created by animation director Ashley J. Long. That headpiece is made from 50 to 60 pieces of cardstock that were hand arranged and glued together over two months. Now that is dedication to your craft. No wonder it looks so perfect. The jewels are a nice creepy touch. The headpiece sits on a bike helmet, which is the key to making it wearable and keeping it in place. It’s a great design.

The egg is paper mache and the spine is aluminum. I’ve never seen a more stylish and elegant alien queen. Still deadly, but quite lovely. You can make one yourself. For more info check it out on Instructables.

Tickets To The Greatest Fictional Events

Amazing Venues created these fun tickets to the greatest fictional events. Maybe you want to attend Daniel-san’s victory at the All-Valley Karate Tournament. Or spend an incredible evening at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance from Back to the Future.

You are going to need tickets. Well, here they are. Now we can imagine what these tickets would look like, even if you can’t experience the events in real life. I think I’ll pass on the Hunger Games and Joffrey’s Stag Do. Some events are better unattended. I’ll just stay home when it comes to those.
