6 Thoughts On The LEGO Batman Movie
I’m not going to call it the best Batman movie ever made, but Yeehaw, The LEGO Batman Movie is a hoot! Fun, funny and full of Batman-themed hijinks and Easter Eggs, the new sequel is mostly everything you could want from a follow-up to The LEGO Movie — and we’ve still got a proper sequel to that coming down the line!
The LEGO Batman Movie is quality Batman entertainment on a level we just don’t get to see very often. That makes it something special indeed.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
The bar has now been set pretty high for the rest of the year full of superhero movies. It’s not insurmountable, but The LEGO Batman Movie was still a blast! It was so good, and I do so enjoy this style of humor, that I’m even considering watching their upcoming Ninjago movie. Hopefully the party doesn’t stop anytime soon.

6 Things I Want to See in the Runaways TV Show
Fancy that, there’s going to be a Runaways TV show! Marvel announced the teenage cast last week, making it pretty darn likely that the show will really come to Hulu in the near future. Runaways has been in consideration as a movie for a long time, but a TV show might be the best bet! It’s not Neflix, but it still works.
Once upon a time, they were kings and queens of the comic world
I was a fan of the Runaways back in the day. They’re a really great idea and the characters will fit nicely into the Marvel Universe. The story has twists, romance, craziness and plenty of good stuff to make a TV show. No doubt pre-production is already underway, but I’d like to think the Marvel Studios people read my blog excessively to get some ideas!

The 6 Best Pig Superheroes Who Have Skin in the Game
The Super Bowl is this weekend and, therefore, I wanted to do a List of Six to mark the occasion. But considering I’ve already done a list of sports-themed superheroes, what was I supposed to do next? I don’t know sports ball!
But I do love me some bacon, ham and pork chops! Which all come from a wonderful, magical animal!
I never cared for Spider-Pig
Get it? Pig superheroes? Footballs are nicknamed ‘pigskin’? It fits. Trust me, it fits. And like most good animals, there’s a healthy number of porcine-based comic book characters. So in honor of all the Super Bowl tailgating parties this weekend, join me after the jump for all the best oinkers!
6 Best Male Derivative Characters in Comics
This past weekend, millions of women from across the world marched in solidarity to show everybody that they mean business. Were I not such a lazy schlub of a man, I would have joined them. I regret not going out and marching. But I do have a blog! And I’ve decided that the best way to honor those women is with a list about men!
But not just any men! These are the only male comic book characters derived from female characters! I’m both surprised and not surprised that there are so few.
Sort of like this
Female derivative characters are all over the place in comics, and they’re usually great characters in their own right. You’ve got Batwoman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Superwoman, She-Hulk, the new female Thor, the new female Iron Man, two different Spider-Women; but there are almost no characters of the reverse. Where are the male characters who derive from the original female superheroes?
They’re on this list! What few I could find! Join me after the jump to celebrate the female characters awesome enough to get male knock-off versions!
6 Insane Characters Peter Dinklage Could Play Other Than Pip the Troll
Awesome actor extraordinaire Peter Dinklage was recently announced as being in talks to star in the two upcoming Avengers sequels. So I had the bright idea of doing a List of Six about the possible roles that Dinklage could play. Of course, the entire rest of the Internet had the very same idea. Clearly great minds think alike.
So much Dinklage attention!
The smart thing to do would be to cut my losses and just do another list. But then I got to thinking: why not just be lazy and make my own list anyway? I’ve never done a list about Peter Dinklage before. Why not? Besides, pretty much everybody on the Internet has pegged Dinklage for the same handful of potential characters: Pip the Troll, the Watcher, Mephisto, Adam Warlock or M.O.D.O.K. And yeah, these are all solid ideas.
But what if I opened up the awesome expanse of my geeky mind and came up with six character possibilities that no sane person would possibly consider?! Yeah, that might be fun.
