The Adorableness of Batgirl and Supergirl

It is my sworn duty as a geeky, niche comic blogger to bring you, my faithful readers, the best comic book stuff from all corners of the Internet. The Information Superhighway is a big place, and there is all manner of delightful fun out there. Today is the adorable art of Mike Maihack. He seems to be a big fan of Batgirl, as you will soon see in this pair of strips starring Batgirl and Supergirl.

And the second, which was released just this week.

Here’s hoping he makes some more soon!

How X-Men: First Class Should Have Ended

If you’re like me, then you know all about the ‘How It Should Have Ended’ cartoon series on Youtube. The name is self-explanatory, and these guys have done it for a ton of movies, mostly superhero movies. X-Men: First Class is the latest cartoon, and it’s fantastic and funny! So consider this your introduction to the awesome world of these cartoons!

I’ve Got a Skyrim Song in My Heart

So I don’t know if I’ll ever write a review of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The game is just too massive, too wildly untamed, to really get it down in review form. I may whip something up someday, but for now, I figured I’d just update everybody on my status. Maybe some of you care, maybe some of you don’t. For those that do, keep reading. For those that don’t, at least enjoy this fun video.

Made by the same guys that did the earlier Skyrim songs.

Now then, my orc warrior Tannenbaum has continued to explore the world of Skyrim. He’s been to the frozen north and the jungles of the south. He’s been inside a magic black gemstone and he’s slain ghosts, giants, and humans alike. He’s even killed a few orcs who deserved it. Tannenbaum hasn’t chosen a side in the civil war, but who needs to? He’s the dragon-slayer!

The townsfolk were very grateful and came out to watch

And from that dragon, I crafted a legendary suit of dragon-scale armor.

I also made orphans out of its children

And I met a comely wench who sang the song of the dragon-slayer!

Very comely in the chest

Good times.

I Now Know What Everybody’s Getting for Christmas

Or at least for the male members of my family. DC Superhero themed boxer briefs! And not just any old superhero underoos, we’re talking classy underwear with actual super powers. Like, I guess, the Flash boxers warm up when you wear them. And the Green Lantern boxers glow in the dark. The Joker boxers are just in bad taste. About as bad as this video.

That Joker is a maverick renegade! I guess nobody told them that the Joker is a homicidal maniac?

Here are the actual boxers for your viewing pleasure. They’re made by some company called Diesel, because that’s the perfect name for an underwear company. I think my favorites are Batman, because they made the boxers look like his armor, and the Joker, because it just looks like fun.

Batman:

The best ever representation of the sort of underwear I assume Batman wears

Flash:

These will open the floodgates for guys being called 'too fast'

Green Lantern:

Ryan Reynolds is missing a prime endorsement deal here

Joker:

New fuel for everyone's fear of clowns

“It’s’a me, Mario!” – The 8-bit Opera

Once again the Internet brings the funny with this hilarious song parody of Super Mario Bros. It was made by Legolambs, the brilliant creators of the Arnold Schwarzenegger musicals. Check out this Mario song, then follow that link to some of the others. Conan: The Musical! is particularly brilliant.

Thanks to Topless Robot for the find.
