Arrow ’66, Just a Little Something Fun
Everybody like Tuesdays? I’m pretty OK with them. They’re not Fridays and they’re definitely not Saturdays. But we can have a little bit of fun this Tuesday.
Big thanks to Dave Jones for making this little diddy. It’s Arrow and The Flash done in the style of the classic Batman ’66 TV show! I loved that thing as a kid. The Internet is full of such charm, and I’ll share it when I can!

Wonder Twins LEGOs, You Guys!
A new mini-trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie came out this weekend, and while it’s great, it also features something truly special: Wonder Twins LEGOs! Keep your eyes peeled at 1:24 in the video for the specialness.
That’s just plain fun.
The trailer is good too. This movie is going to be all manner of amazing. Cannot wait. Maybe the most anticipated movie of 2017? Yeah, maybe.

The 6 Wickedest Vertigo Villains
A week or so ago, I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, and it sucks. Basically, a bunch of bits and pieces inside my head landed in the wrong part of my inner ear, giving me a bad case of the dizzies. It’s not total vertigo, where the room feels like it’s spinning and I can’t walk straight. I basically just get a wibbly wobbly feeling when I turn my head, making things a bit fuzzy and putting me off balance. And there’s no cure!
Sounds like something a super-villain might do, eh?
Thankfully, the doctor was able to put me through a couple maneuvers that shifted the bits and pieces around a little bit. He didn’t fix the problem completely, but he definitely lessened the wobbliness to manageable levels. Now I have to hope it goes away, and I’ve got drugs to dull the headaches or the nausea. I’m surviving.
And since this sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to compare to comic books, I looked up some super-villains who use vertigo-based powers! It’s definitely a super-villain thing. Ugh.
6 Teen Heroes to Add to Young Justice Season 3
Young Justice is coming back for a third season, which is nothing short of a miracle! Cancelled shows just don’t come back to life a few years later. Fans everywhere are freaking out over the awesome possibilities of a third season. Personally, I wasn’t too keen on the show, but I’m always in favor of good superhero cartoons.
Plus I get to play one of my favorite games: superhero draft! I get to put my extensive knowledge of comic books to good use and pick out a few perfect heroes and villains for a role. Such as, what characters could they add to the third season of Young Justice? The cast is already pretty huge, but adding new characters is exactly what the show is known for, and somehow, they didn’t get to everybody just yet.
Join me after the jump for my picks for new characters to join Young Justice!
The Greatest Skyrim Video of All Time, By Dan Bull and Harry Partridge
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim just released a special edition last month, with updated graphics and other fanciness. I’ve played hundreds of hours in Skyrim, creating half a dozen different characters, because it’s an incredibly fun game. Since I bought all the DLC previously, I was gifted with the new Special Edition for free! I’ll get around to playing it eventually once I figure out a new character to create.
While I’m waiting, two Internet legends, Dan Bull and Harry Partridge, have teamed up for an amazing video about the Special Edition. You may remember these guys from Dan Bull’s Skyrim Epic Rap and Harry Partridge’s awesome Skyrim songs! And the Dovahkids!
Now they’re together and making true magic!
This takes me back! This is good video. It’s like two great masters of the Internet have come together to make the world an even better place!
