We Could Buy A Comic Shop... →

It’s like a zoo. But with a lot more strange smells.

And dying animals.

And nerds.

But we’d be like a block from Pink’s famous hot dogs! And…eh…uh…do you have $700k to spare?

In Soviet Russia, Burger King…holy shit…uh…is awesome.

Took seven seconds to open a browser window and confirm that they really don’t use fact checking or copy editors at Wenner these days.

Or else, their writers really can’t tell the difference between insider media events in DC.

Totally disappointed by nerd sites that missed the obvious jokes from Nolan in the new The Dark Knight Rises trailer.

Namely, the “R” for the Gotham Rogues is the same stylized R used for the Robin outfit made canon by the Tim Drake-era Robin and later his shift into Red Robin.

And the touchdown-scoring player’s name is Ward, which is the last name of actor Burt Ward from the 1966 Batman TV Series.

Ahem. Glaven. 

pretty interesting stuff.

OH MY GOD YES

I just want to point out that the guys holding the signs are friends of mine who went to my highschool

mainly one of them, a guy named Dave, is the biggest Batman fan i know

he even went on to publish a comic of his own with a friend of his, it’s called Ban: Sidekicked http://tdotcomics.ca/bansidekicked-a-review/

i’m from Ontario Canada by the way, and so are they
they made the trip out to Pittsburgh just to get a chance at being in the film

lo and behold they made it in hahaha, i’m even excited for them!

edit: guess who has two thumbs and just now learned Hines Ward is real? 

also: "Actually, that Robin-style “R” isn’t there by Nolan’s design, guys. Extras were told to make signs in support of the Gotham Rogues, and obviously some of people who went were comic book nerds." [via]

edit 2: Goddamn it, Steelers. This is worse than the time I assumed the Jets had really found a terminator when they brought Cromartie on. 

If you thought the Cain Train was taking Christmas off…

This is the Sucker Punch equivalent for zombie video games, first-person shooters and dude-brah action films. 

So Dark the Con of Santa

The end for Santacon isn’t anything new. To describe it briefly, it’s like the pre-game party for the folks who consider Halloween to be their “big night out." You dress up as Santa, meet up at some spot early in the morning and get your drunk on while merrily using the holiday as an excuse to relive whatever stupid shit you pulled when you were 16 and drank Midori thinking it was what you did when folks talked about drinking liquor.

Here’s the thing that burns me up: most parents see a Satantango of Santa they know shit’s about to go down. But when a kid looks over and sees Santa, their natural reaction is that of joy. After all, if Santa’s out of the mall then he’s clearly sending out presents. Watching a group of kids ask to pose with a drunk Santa is more fucked up than funny if it isn’t Biilly Bob Thorton.

So, watching a bunch of Santas toke up and drink while walking around kids at a kid event at the National Zoo is more fucked up than the line I overheard last week at Santacon NYC walking down Park Avenue ("Baby! Baby! I didn’t know it wasn’t you! I didn’t mean to give him a handy! He had your beard on! I’d never cheat on you!")
