15 Minutes of Worf’s Ideas Getting Shot Down by People on Star Trek
This video is exactly what it says in the title. Some insane genius – possibly called tarnationsauce2 on Youtube – has strung together a series of Star Trek: The Next Generation clips in which klingon Lieutenant Worf has all of his ideas and suggestions turned down or denied by other characters. Everyone from Captain Picard to Riker to random characters just reject poor Worf. It’s the sort of humor that just gets funnier as it goes on. It’s insane and it’s brilliant all at the same time.
Though you don’t have to watch all 15 minutes to get the funny.
Static Shock Fan Film is On Its Way
Those creative types out there in Internet land are once again making one of my favorite sorts of Youtube videos: superhero fan films! This time, Stefan Dezil and company have made one called Static Shock: Blackout, which is due in March. The teaser trailer was released earlier this month. Static Shock is a black, teenager superhero created by the late great Dwayne McDuffie. He had a popular cartoon show on The WB several years ago, and is one of the most prominent black characters in comics.
It’s also one of the first titles canceled in the New 52 reboot by DC Comics. Oops.
Well these fans will show you why Static Shock can be cool. The electricity effects are actually pretty damn badass.
6 Best Animated Robins
Batman and Robin are like a rock concert. Batman is this brilliant, blazing, glorious rock star, the idolized hero of millions who burns brighter and rocks harder than anyone else ever will. All the other superheroes, like Superman or Wonder Woman, they’re competing rock stars. Maybe they’ll do an album together or hang out at a charity together, but in the end they have their own bands and their own concerts. Batman views them as rivals. But Robin is unique among other superheroes.
Robin is the guy with the backstage pass.
Animated Batman Lego series anyone?
If Batman is arguably the greatest, most popular superhero, Robin is the fan who Batman lets hang out back stage. We can’t be our favorite rock star. We can’t be Batman. But in some ways, we can be like Robin. We can be the fan with the backstage pass. We can hang out with Batman and learn all of his secrets. We’ll be there for Batman when he’s in a tough spot, or we’ll be by his side when he’s kicking ass. We can be the fan that Batman actually likes hanging out with, the one he shares a beer with. And maybe someday, when Batman needs us the most, he’ll invite us on stage to jam with him.
And then we will prove that it has all be worth it, and we will rock hard enough to impress Batman.
I think that nicely sums up one of the reasons why I like Robin. He’s the guy that Batman trusts above all others, the one that Batman likes hanging out with. The one superhero who is truly in Batman’s inner circle. But Robin is not just ‘Batman’s Pal’, he’s Batman-in-training. He’s Batman’s assistant. That’s what it means to be his sidekick. I plan on doing a lot more with Robin on this blog, but for now let’s take a look at one enterprise that seems to do Robin right: animation.
Here are the top 6 animated Robins, ranked worst to best!

Greatness Strikes Twice
Does everybody remember that amazing Portal 2 song set to the Nightmare Before Christmas? Of course you do! It was brilliant! Well video-maker Harry UK is at it again with another Portal 2/Nightmare mash-up song. This one isn’t as brilliant, and the Wheatley impression is far from perfect (how could it be?), but damn this is one creative and gifted dude. Listen and enjoy an amazing bit of geekery.
Multiple Man By Way of DeviantArt
If you’re not familiar with DeviantArt, it’s a website where artists can post their work for the entire Internet to see. It’s great! Fun to just browse and take a look at various projects and masterpieces. It’s also a fantastic place to see superhero fan art, which is my primary use for DeviantArt. Everyday fans like you and me can draw superheroes to their hearts’ content and post them online for other fans to enjoy. It’s one of the things to love about the Internet.
So just for kicks and giggles, I decided to see what kind of fan art is out there for my favorite comic book character: Multiple Man.
Let’s take a look at some of the best ones.
First up is ‘Multiple Man’ by Mr. Representational.
'Multiple Man' by Mr. Representational
I really like this one. It’s got style, it’s got class, and it’s got a nod to Madrox’s current gig as a private detective. Plus it showcases his powers in a fun and original way. Definitely a great pic.
More after the jump.
