2 Comments

Welcome back to the second part of our look at the best Cosplay from Comic-Con International. You can check out the first here. I waited a bit before posting this as Cosplay pics have the tendency to trickle out the week after Comic-Con International and I wanted this to be a large collection. Now I regret that idea because we have such a large freaking collection! So why am I wasting time still yammering here? Let’s take a look at some of the best Cosplay from the CCI!

THIS IS NOT ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Review

2 Comments

I have recently moved to a town without a theater. This was entirely based on work, so I did not have much choice in the matter, as I would never voluntarily move 40 minutes away from a theater. This has greatly hampered my movie watching ability. I saw The Avengers opening weekend luckily enough, but I just saw Amazing Spider-Man and will not see The Dark Knight Rises until the end of the weekend. So when it came time to assign one of our Bomb Droppers the joyous task of reviewing TDKR, I realized I still really wanted to review it. So C Tan suggested I should do it anyway, just BS using vague adjectives and fake plotlines I’ve gleaned from the trailers. I had one thing to say to his suggestion.

So here we go. This is not The Dark Knight Rises review.

While the Marvel Studios panel pretty much blew me away this year, that wasn’t the only crop of news the company delivered. We’ve got a few short films, and some new details on Marvel’s Animation slate.

CCI 2012: Cosplay! Part 1

Leave a comment

Yes, Comic-Con International hits every year full of news, premieres, announcements, big studios, celebrities, you name it. But it also brings out the fans in droves, and that many fans crammed into one place tends to erupt into a smorgasbord of cosplay enthusiasts. Of course, with any costume you have to be safe, and the first step in safety is this:

Thanks to C Tan for the pic. That’s gotta be kind of embarassing… Can you imagine a full on 90’s Cable cosplayer having to unstrap 34 guns and open 12 pockets from his right leg? Pure embarrassment.

Yet Another ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Robin Rumor

10 Comments

Speculation about whether or not Robin will appear in The Dark Knight Rises has been going on for a long time now. Nolan has made it clear that there is no place for Robin in his Bat-world, which you think would end it all right there. But not us fanboys, no sir. We have to keep looking, keep hoping, keep pining for that little bit extra out of a film. Let’s take a look at some of the other Robin/Nightwing rumors that have shown up over the course of the film’s production.
