YES.
Yesterday in Physics someone’s phone went off to the tune of the Justice League. After the professor paused his lecture to acknowledge the phone, the kid answered his phone and replied, “The University is in trouble?! We’re on our way!” The kid stood up, ripped off his t-shirt, revealed the Superman costume underneath, and exclaimed [...]

I’m not too hyped about tablet computers, I remember the hype about them from about a decade or so ago and the splat that followed. But if the much rumored Apple tablet had some sort of magical comic book features, that would be like a free marshmallow on top of a chocolate sundae.

I don’t usually like stealth video games (I generally prefer to barge in and get things done – that’s why my death to kill ratio on Call Of Duty is so horrible) but I LOVE Batman: Arkham Asylum, and I think this post makes a good case for why

If this is true, and in the case of Murdoch’s Sun, that’s a big IF, casting Megan Fox as Catwoman could very well break the entire fabric of the Internet.

Update: Ryan Reynolds got the part.
Some interesting choices.
This week, the race narrowed to Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake. The clock is ticking on the decision as the holding deal the studio had on the actors expired Monday, meaning the three are now free to accept other offers.
My preference would probably be for Ryan [...]

This is funny. Shatterstar, one of the mostly generic characters with tiny feet and too many pouches that Rob Liefeld created, turns out to be gay as written by Peter David but Liefeld is upset by that.
