An Inspirational Robin Moment
I just wanted to share with you guys that delightful picture of all the Robins, drawn by Patrick Gleason in the recent Batman and Robin #12. That’s Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin and then current Robin, Damian Wayne. They all teamed up to help Batman fight the villain Terminus and his goons. Here they standby while Batman launches himself into the sky to stop Terminus’ missile.
The story was only OK though. Writer Peter Tomasi had this great idea where Damian challenged all of the previous Robins to prove he was the best, so he faced off against them in some pretty great scenes…but then Tomasi weighed down the story with this stupid, forgettable Terminus battle. One of the only in-cannon times that all of the Robins are together in one place, and Tomasi wastes it with some boring super-villain.
Still, fun Robin story, and that’s what’s important.
Nananananananananananananananana Fan Film!
A brilliant fan film, posted to Youtube by Bryan Nest. In the months following Harvy Dent’s death, the Dark Knight faces a new menace in the form of Zsasz, the Ventriloquist, and a rogue FBI agent named Edward Nigma who’s determined to bring the Batman down at all costs.
Hey, This is Crazy, But Bruce is Batman, Maybe
DON’T WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN The Dark Knight Rises. But if you have seen The Dark Knight Rises, then by all means watch this fun, musical parody of that ‘Call Me Maybe’ song that everybody seems to like. I find it catchy myself. And when it’s being used in the service of Batman, it’s even better!

Batgirl: The Web Movie!
I never read Bryan Q. Miller’s apparently excellent Batgirl series, which saw vigilante Stephanie Brown donning a rather awesome black and purple costume to assume the role of Gotham’s girliest protector. But I know one group of fans who read it and loved it enough to take their fandom to the ultimate level – a fan film! Here is the first full trailer for Batgirl: Spoiled.
Hopefully the actual web series itself will be coming shortly. You can find out more about on Facebook.
The cinematography looks very top notch, and they are definitely not skimping on the fighting. Though if I’m being completely honest, I don’t think that costume fits all that well on the actress. She looks a little too much like a delicate cosplayer than an actual vigilante superhero. But she still looks smashing. Plus cameos by Renee Montoya and more? I’m in!
For those who don’t know, Stephanie Brown was a supporting character in the Batman comics in the 90s. She was the daughter of a super-villain, and decided to put on her own costume and call herself Spoiler in order to help Batman and Robin take down her dad. Then Stephanie decided to stick around as the Spoiler, not least of why because she started dating Robin. Stephanie even became Robin herself for a short period of time when her boyfriend gave up the mantle. Stephanie is the only female Robin in regular DC continuity, even if it was short-lived. When her boyfriend came back and took over again, Stephanie moved on and became the new Batgirl, leading a rather popular, quirky and fun series – from what I’ve heard.
Unfortunately, Stephanie’s Batgirl series came to an end when DC rebooted their entire comic universe in the New 52. Stephanie’s time as both Robin and Batgirl was erased from continuity, and she has yet to reappear in the New 52. So sadness for Stephanie fans. Maybe this web series will provide some happiness.
Batman Doesn’t Like Being Player 2
It’s possible that Batman has a lot of aggression to work out.
Awesome video about Batman and Robin playing video games, and reenacting one of the funnier memes on the Internet, by Crave Online.
