It’s The All Singing, All Dancing Batman!
First he sang the metal, and it was great. And now Batman sings Taylor Swift in this excellent song parody by the How It Should Have Ended peeps!
Good times all around!
And if you really want your fix of Batman v. Superman cartoons, check out this mini-battle by Stephen Byrne. It’s short but it’s sweet…unless you love Batman.
Me personally, I’m definitely in the camp that Batman can beat Superman, given the right circumstances. Batman has no limits!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/15/15
I am very pleased to announce that the first two issues of Gamer Girl & Vixen are done! We’ll be sending them off to the printers soon, so anyone who ordered a copy through our Kickstarter will get them this fall. But we’re also going to be offering the digital issues online in this upcoming week! I can’t wait until people are actually reading my comic!
As for regular comics, we’ve got a bunch of winners this week, from Superman to Batman to Starfire!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, yet again. I’m like a broken record at this point. I want to give other books a chance, but nothing touches me like Squirrel Girl these days!
Over at Word of the Nerd, I continue my coverage with Secret Wars #5. We’re past the halfway mark of this big series, but for some reason, writer Jonathan Hickman decided to take a breather to remind people of some of the backstory. Odd choice.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #43, Batman #43, Gotham Academy #9, Starfire #3 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #8.
I’ve Seen Better Batman vs. Superman Battles
It seems that Batman fighting Superman is all the rage now, and the Internet isn’t about to deal with that lying down.
Not quite an epic rap battle of history, but I’ll take it! Quality animation, stylish rhymes, hip beats…and the like. I dunno. I’m hardly a good judge of a rap battle. But major kudos to Top Trending for making this happen!

Speaking of Fun Mash-Up Videos!
Here we have Nightman v. Day Man: Dawn of Justice! It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans should definitely check this out!
That’s some high-quality editing right there. The song fits, the characters fit, and that bonus bit at the end with Wonder Woman is great too. The Internet is all about deliveries today!
Kudos to Albert Lopez for making this happen.

Amazing New Batman v. Superman Trailer Confirms My Worst Nightmare
The new 3-minute trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was the talk of Comic-Con on Saturday, and boy does it deliver! I don’t have a lot of faith in this movie (having been disappointed by Man of Steel), but there’s no doubt that this is a pretty exciting, action-packed trailer.
It also features a moment that makes me a sad panda: dead Robin.
You can see it at exactly 2 minutes into the trailer. Batman looks mournfully up at a dark costume with yellow spraypaint. If you pause, it’s clearly a Robin costume, with a message from the Joker. This confirms the rumor that Joker killed Robin at some previous point in the timeline. And even though we know that Joker kills Jason Todd in the comics, and even though most people on the Internet are jumping on this Jason Todd theory, I’m fairly confident that the movieverse isn’t going to bother with a direct adaptation of the comics. I fear that there was only one Robin, Dick Grayson, and the Joker killed him.
Sadness.
Still, at least it’s an awesome trailer. And there’s also the rumor that Jena Malone is playing Carrie Kelley, so we’ll just have to cling to that.
