The Arkham Knight Robin Looks More Exciting!
We’ve got our first close-up look at Robin from Batman: Arkham Knight! I think he looks great!
He’s very similar to his look from Arkham City, which is expected, and I liked Arkham City just as much. I dig the armor, I dig the haircut; I dig the whole thing.
But…I don’t yet have that upgraded PC or the money to make it happen. And now I’ve got less than a month to get it together!

Superhero naming conventions are getting ridiculous
Dorkly.com adds yet another amazing parody, with a very good point about superhero names in the Marvel universe. Enjoy!
The Hero We Need Right Now, the Documentary We Deserve
Remember Batkid? Of course you do, how could you forget something so adorable? Well if you did forget, there’s a new documentary to look forward to!
It’s days like these when I rue the fact that I don’t live in ‘select cities’. Maybe this’ll come to Netflix someday. Or…I dunno. Where does one find documentaries?

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/2/15
This is a great weekend for comics! Not only is Avengers: Age of Ultron tearing up the box office (expect my review tomorrow), but it’s also Free Comic Book Day! And my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen, is only two weeks away from launching on Kickstarter! What a time to be alive, I tell ya!
Due to my seeing Age of Ultron twice in as many days, my review pile is a little light this week. Well, light in terms of number of issues reviewed. For some reason, I went on a real nitpicky exploration of Batman #40. You might want to skip that one if you don’t want to hear me drone on endlessly about why I don’t care for Scott Snyder’s Joker.
And skip right down to Bitch Planet #4, the Comic Book of the Week! That series is starting to pick up steam!
And watch out when she gets going!
Over at Word of the Nerd, you can check out my review of Fantastic Four #645. It’s being hailed as the final Fantastic Four comic ever, but trust me, it’s not. The comic isn’t even written as a finale. The Fantastic Four will be back as soon as Marvel is done having a beef with FOX Studios.
Comic Reviews: Batman #40, Bitch Planet #4, Princess Leia #3 and Silk #3.
Finally! Robin Confirmed for Batman: Arkham Knight!
I have been waiting patiently for this news, and it’s finally here! Robin is going to play a major role in Batman: Arkham Knight! He’ll be joined by both Nightwing and Catwoman, so that’s even more awesome! But Robin is the one I really care about, and his cool new costume! Check out the badass new game trailer to see him in action.
According to what I’m reading, there’s going to be something called ‘Dual Play’ that allows players to switch between all these heroes on the fly in the middle of the free-flow combat. The video offers some ways that this could work, but we’ll have to see it to believe it. All I really care about is that Robin is definitely going to be a part of this game! Awesome!
Of course, I can’t yet even play the game. I don’t own either of the consoles that can play it, and my computer isn’t nearly strong enough. So I guess I better start saving up if I hope to get that new graphics card by the end of June!
