The Adorable Evolution Of Catwoman

What I find most interesting about artist Jeff Victor’s illustrated Evolution of Catwoman from movies and TV is that in the 2000’s she was wearing a lot less clothes. I never really noticed since I have tried hard to forget Halle Berry’s version of the classic character.

These illustrations are absolutely adorable though and give us a look at how Selina Kyle has changed over the years. It’s not nearly as drastic as some other heroes. For the most part they haven’t changed her all that much.

What’s Inside Batman’s Utility Belt?

We all know about Batman’s utility belt. Basically it has everything that a Batman needs to get out of any situation. It’s a lot like Doctor Who’s Sonic Screwdriver. But what exactly has the Dark Knight carried in his belt over the years? Artist Kevin Tong clues us in with this cool infographic.

It is by no means complete, but it’s a fun look at what some of the Movie and TV versions of Batman have kept in the utility belt. If you have room for shark repellent you can carry just about anything else you need.

Ray Harryhausen With His Special Effects Models

Ray Harryhausen was a genius and his talent is directly responsible for many of the cool effects you see in movies and on TV today. io9 recently posted a fantastic collection of photographs of the stop-motion special effects pioneer, that show him working with his models.

Harryhausen was behind movies like Mighty Joe Young, Jason and the Argonauts, and Clash of the Titans. His on screen magic was and is amazing to see, and so are these images which show him hard at work.

Behind The Scenes Of The Dark Knight Trilogy

With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still being a year and a half away from theaters, we need a Batman fix now more than ever. Well, feast your eyes on these behind the scenes images from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

Luckily for us these movies were very well documented, so we get to take a look at what went on behind the camera. Nolan really nailed Batman and even if I didn’t care for much of The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan really understood Batman in a way that other filmmakers have not.

Guide To Star Trek Uniforms Infographic

Costumesupercenter created this cool Star Trek infographic that shows the Star Trek uniforms throughout the various TV series and movies. They forgot the Man-Skirt or Skant from The Next Generation premiere Encounter At Farpoint.

It is a handy infographic for those who can’t decide on a Halloween or comic-con costume. I think my favorites have always been the 1960’s uniforms and Kirk and crew’s movie uniforms. The Next Generation uniforms are cool too, if you don’t mind doing the Picard Maneuver.

The Star Wars Prequels From R2-D2’s Perspective

Some people enjoy the Star Wars prequels, while others can’t stand them. One thing is for sure. The prequels show a different point of view compared to the original movies. Speaking of points of view, imagine how different the prequels would be from R2-D2’s point of view.

Artist Chris Gugliotti shows us with this nine panel comic titled “A Certain Point of View.” I would love to see Gugliotti do the original trilogy from R2-D2’s perspective too. R2-D2 has a very unique adventure. The last panel is my favorite.

A Collection Of Famous Robot Heads

Daniel Nyari put together these awesome illustrations of famous robot heads. How many can you identify? If you are on this site and reading, I am expecting some good scores. You should be able to identity at least 90% of these if you are a true Sci-Fi geek.

Even the Woody Allen robot from Sleeper makes an appearance. If robots really are taking over the world(And we know that they are), we could use more illustrations like this to keep them identified. These heads look great. I would love to see the rest of the robots done in the same style.

Dad Photoshops Daughter Into Sci-Fi and Fantasy Films

This guys gets the coolest dad ever prize. Grant Davis decided to Photoshop his daughter Winter into his favorite movies. You can see Winter co-starring in such movies as X-Men (as baby Magneto), Space Jam, Harry Potter, Die Hard, and more. Winter is going to have these images for her whole life, reminding her what a cool dad she has.

I’m sure that he will be adding even more soon. The question is, which movie will Winter show up in next? We will have to wait and see. One thing is for sure. Winter is coming!

DisHollywood: Disney And Hollywood Collide Head On

In this series of superb illustartions, artist José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros takes Disney and Hollywood and lets them share screen time. It is amazing how naturally these characters go with one another and fit right into the other’s world.

Here you will see the Creature from the Black Lagoon with Ariel, Freddy Krueger with Sleeping Beauty, Batman’s Joker threatening to cut off Rapunzel’s hair and more. It makes me wish that we could have brand new versions of all of these movies with Ontiveros directing as well as being in charge of the art. That would be a darker version of Disney that I would like to see.
