A Tiny Peek at Harley Quinn’s Revenge
Harley Quinn’s Revenge is real, baby! And it’s coming to us at the end of May! Not only is it going to be attached to the upcoming Game of the Year Edition of Batman: Arkham City, but the DLC itself is going to be available for Playstation 3 on May 29 for $9.99, and then for X-Box: 360 on May 30 for 800 Microsoft Points! Hells yeah! And it’s definitely going to be a new story mission, not just challenge maps and the like. Which means we are actually going to get Robin as part of a story mission! Perhaps he’ll even be free to move around Arkham City!
I knew buying that Arkham City Robin action figure wasn’t a waste of money!
Anyway, check out this video and you can see about 5 seconds of Harley.
Or you can just look at this screenshot to get the entire gist of that 5 seconds. Apparently Harley is going to dye her hair black. Perhaps because she’s in mourning?
For some reason, DC Comics apparently just hates Harley's classic look.
As always, I will keep you lovely readers informed about any further developments.
Beware the Batman Teaser
Because the universe will shrivel and die a cold death if there isn’t currently a Batman cartoon show on the air, here is our first teaser to Beware the Batman. It’s going to be a CGI show coming out sometime…who knows. I’m not very interested, because there’s no Robin, and Alfred is going to be packing heat. Me thinks the studio executives had a hand in creating this one. I suppose we’ll just add it to the pile of Batman: The Animated Series, The Batman and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
6 Super-Villains Based on Randomly Lame Objects
Never let it be said that all the good super-villain themes are taken. If you can settle for not being the next Joker or Doctor Doom of the world, there are a whole host of possibilities for the up-and-coming villain of tomorrow! There are whole arsenals of deadly weapons to base yourself on or an always expanding and ever fearsome animal kingdom! Or why not combine the two? Did someone say Pistol Shrimp?
Or maybe you can just base your villain identity on whatever you find lying around.
Vacuum...Woman? Maybe? Too sexist?
Not everybody can have a real stellar super-villain identity like Magneto or Doctor Octopus. Sometimes super-villains need to get creative. And sometimes maybe they shouldn’t have even bothered. Here are 6 super-villains who weren’t trying very hard.
Superman or the Flash? Who is Faster?
Who is faster: Superman or the Flash?
It’s a question as old as comic books themselves, and the subject of intense fan speculation. Heck, it even comes up in the comics all the time, with the two characters having race after race after race. These characters are not blind to their own selfish boasts.
Place your bets
The competition has been disputed in several different TV versions of the heroes, and was also featured randomly in an episode of Lost. Clearly there is some debate on the issue. So in the interest of writing a geeky blog, I thought I would weigh in. And I’m really curious to hear your answers.

I Really, Really, Really Want Spider-Man to Hook Up with Ms. Marvel
Let’s talk about romance in comic books for a minute. Even with all the big fights and awesome powers, superhero stories almost always have a little romance in them. Superman has Lois Lane, Batman has Catwoman, Cyclops and Wolverine were always fighting over Jean Grey; love has always been a key component to comic books. As it should be.
But I have to ask, why, oh why, do superheroes never hook up with other superheroes?
And can we change that by getting together Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel? Please? They’d be so cute together!
They could even fight super-villains together! Adorable!
When it comes to superhero relationships, they really only seem to have one option: stay in love with the character they were hooked up with way back when they first debuted. Comic book fans notoriously hate change and want to maintain the long-standing status quo. That history is what keeps these classic couples together, moreso than anything that actually benefits either character. So modern day comic book writers would rather retread old ground in the romance department than give the fans something new and exciting.
But I want that excitement!
In recent years, comic book publishers have been taking baby steps into the realm of giving their characters new relationships, thereby creating new dynamics and new stories. Like Storm and Black Panther or Cyclops and Emma Frost. Well now I want these publishers to embrace this idea and forge full steam ahead by taking the most love-lorn of all superheroes, Spider-Man, and giving him an awesome, new super-powered girlfriend!
