These Batman Pinup images are from Deviantartist Simon Pimpernel and show Batman and his enemies as they might have appeared in a Gotham a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I would love to see these designs used in a future movie.
Make sure you check out the rest of his work too. He is an amazing artist, with a great eye. I picture Gotham during the prohibition, with Bruce Wayne’s parents killed by period gangsters.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a classic in every sense of the word as far as I’m concerned. James Gunn’s movie is just plain fun and one of the funnest scenes was at the very end when Baby Groot dances to The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.”
Now we can relive the dance in stop-motion form. This video took more than 1,000 photos to create. The creators used a Hot Toys 1/4 scale Groot and Marvel Legends 6″ Drax. This should put a smile on your face. Check it out below.
Northern Belle really did a killer job on this Rogue / The Thing crossover cosplay. I’m not sure if this ever happened in the comic books, but if not, it really should have. Rogue looks great as The Thing. The body paint, done by Artisticurves is really amazing.
The photography was done by Seai Photography. You can tell she really had fun doing this cosplay.

Etsy seller BeatUpCreations takes old antique and beat up plates and transforms them into beautiful works of art. Many have a modern theme. In their shop you can find everything from Pee-Wee Herman to Mr. T, to David Bowie on antique plates. My favorites are the Star Wars pieces that they’ve created.
Most of them are classic paintings with a Star Wars twist. They are an amazing mix of old and new. Just the right kind of geeky to hang on your home or office wall. The C-3PO plate just makes me laugh, but I want them all.

Slashgear has a very interesting article about how Star Wars: The Force Awakens is being made. It’s pretty similar to how video games are made. The focus may be on practical effects this time around, but there is a lot more going on than meets the eye. It’s pretty impressive stuff.
There’s a lot there for fans of the Battlefront game as well, so make sure you read the whole thing. It is really eye-opening. If you don’t have the time, just check out this video below.
Fans of Michael Crichton‘s 1973 science fiction western-thriller WestWorld are going to love this. It is a very life-like silicone robotic version of Yul Brynner as the Gunslinger from the film. It is so real it is terrifying. This crazy robot was made by sculptor Nick Marra of Nick Marra Studios.
Check out the video below for more detail about how it was created. When they make a new movie, this is a great way to include Yul Brynner, even if it is just for a short cameo. This thing is unreal!
