What If Iron Man and Spider-Man Were Pokemon Trainers?
Remember when the Cartoon Hooligans made a cartoon about Batman and Superman as Pokemon trainers? Well they’ve done it again!
This is good, quality Internet content. The exact sort of fun cartoon geeky silliness that I come to love and depend on. Go Internet!

The 6 Best Bikini Superhero Costumes (And Their Later Improvements)
I need to level with you Henchies for today’s list. I had this big plan about going to see the new Inhumans TV premiere on the big screen last weekend, but my plans fell through and I didn’t manage to shake my cold. So my plan to write an Inhumans review listicle completely fell through. That, coupled with a Labor Day holiday spent hanging out with my parents, and only I found myself finally getting around to writing this week’s list late last night with a splitting headache.
So let’s just spend today celebrating the end of summer with some impractical bikini-like superhero costumes!
It’s fun, it’s simple, and it’s probably everything wrong with superhero costumes in their heyday. So rather than just ogle a bunch of superbabes, I’ve decided to go one step further and show off their newer, less-skimpy updated costumes! As you can see, some progress is being made! Even if some of these characters have since reverted back to their skimpier costumes…still, an effort was made. And I applaud that effort!
Join me after the jump for the six best bikini superhero costumes, and the modern upgrades that are a lot less revealing!
Star Wars: Rebels Final Season Trailer
It probably says a lot about me that I spent the entirety of this trailer waiting for some classic Star Wars character to cameo. I didn’t care who, just somebody. Boba Fett, maybe? They do talk about Mandalore a lot.
But by the end of it, when the only Easter Egg we got was X-Wing fighters, I had to accept that the final season of Star Wars: Rebels needs to stand on its own. No more Darth Maul. No Obi-Wan Kenobi. No Boba Fett. Just let these characters tell their story to the end.
Because it will be the end, right? Ezra and Kanan can’t still be around by the time we reach Rogue One and A New Hope, right? Even if Kanan and Hera make an awesome couple. There can’t be a couple of scrub Jedi in the Rebellion when Luke Skywalker shows up.
Right? Right?!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/2/17
Odd news, everybody! Due to a couple different factors this week, the review pile is kind of small. For one thing, it’s a fifth Wednesday, so there were already fewer books being released, and most of the comics that came out I’m way behind on. For another thing, I have been laid up with a pretty bad cold all week, and I just didn’t feel like reading a lot of comics. Oy, this stupid cold. My kingdom for a cure!
At any rate, I’ve only got two comics on the stack this week. I’m kind of taking it easy. And out of the two of them, Saban’s Go, Go Power Rangers wins Comic Book of the Week! It’s almost as much fun as the regular Power Rangers comic.
Not what it appears
Secret Empire came to an end this week, and I couldn’t care less. I like the ambition and the general idea, but the ending isn’t anything special and the whole adventure lost steam awhile ago. It was a little too huge in scope and didn’t really earn its earnestness.
Comic Reviews: Go, Go Power Rangers #2 and Infamous Iron Man #11.
Holy Cow! There is Robin Casting News!
I’ve lost track of a lot of superhero casting news in the past couple years, because there are just so many new shows and movies. But you best believe my ears are going to perk up when I hear that a live action Robin is going to be somewhere!
Actor Brenton Thwaites has been cast as Dick Grayson for the upcoming live action Teen Titans show, and he will indeed be Robin instead of Nightwing!
Apparently he starred in that new Pirates movie that nobody saw
I haven’t really given this show much thought, to be honest. I have no idea what to expect. But if Robin is going to be the star, with the show built around him coming out of Batman’s shadow, then I’m definitely on board! Let’s hope they can pull it off! Robin needs some quality live action adaptation!
