This Woman Kept Her Secret Lover In The Attic of the House She Shared With Her Husband
Dolly Oesterreich and her “Bat Man” were the sex scandal of 1930. The details of their affair are still bizarre enough to raise jaded modern eyebrows.
This Year’s Biggest Superhero Movies Are All About America’s Descent into Fascism
A few days ago, many people were shocked—shocked!—at a pair of new studies that found that many Americans have authoritarian tendencies. They want a strong leader, who can sort out “those” people. This went against everything we had lazily chosen to believe about America! But it’s also pretty apparent if you pay any…

Everyone Hates Superman in the Batman v Superman trailer
After a low-quality version was leaked online, director Zack Snyder released the HD teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.

Why Harley Quinn Is Batman's Most Tragic Character
There's certainly no shortage of tragic characters roaming the streets of Gotham — from the orphaned, crime-fighting socialite with a penchant for spelunking to the once-promising DA with a now visible dark side. But does Batman's grimmest story actually belong to Gotham's (other) psychotic clown?

Batman's Movie-Sidekick Robin Is Finally a Woman (Maybe)
Filming for 2016's mega-mega-blockbuster Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice is motoring right along, preparing to destroy villains and box offices the world over.

Superheroes Make Shitty Husbands
News that Walmart is peddling a "Training to be Batman's Wife" T-shirt to juniors has raised ire for its retrograde bullshittery. Lost in the ruckus is the fact that it's not just offensive for its sexism — it's offensive because Batman is the type of douche that no woman would realistically go for. Surely there's a…
10 Times When Comics And Movies Sexualized Male Superheroes
You've heard the argument that male superheroes are sexualized simply because they are often bare-chested. But a man taking off his shirt doesn't make him a sex object. It's actually rare to find examples of male superheroes who truly are sexualized the way women are in comics. Here are ten examples.
SWAT Team Members in Superhero Costumes Go Rappelling for Sick Kids

This Preschooler's Commencement Speech Has Life All Figured Out

Here Is The First Image Of Ben Affleck As Batman
Zack Snyder has finally tweeted a look at his new Batman (played by Ben Affleck) for the still untitled Batman Vs. Superman movie. Aaaaaand the new batsuit has veins. [Edit not veins possibly seams, massive high res. image updated]. Take a look.
Here's How The Lego Movie Should Have Ended
It is a scientifically proven and totally undisputed fact that The Lego Movie is the greatest movie ever made. It makes Gone With the Wind look like Freddie Got Fingered. But we're not here to debate or discuss that (because obviously it's true so what's there to talk about). But in this new video we get a look at how…
Your Morning Cry: S.F. Turned Into Gotham for 5-Year-Old's Make-a-Wish

Amateur Bat Dad Is Hilarious to Everyone Except His Family
So, on the one hand, "Bat Dad" (no relation to this more famous Bat Dad) is funny — the cadence of his Batman voice is spot-on and he regularly saves his family from their greatest foe, mundanity. On the other hand, Jesus Christ would it suck to live in a house with this guy. I think the only family member still…
Justin Bieber: Internet's Best Troll, or Batman's New Robin?
I'll be honest: sometime around the monkey-abandoning incident in Germany, I hopped aboard the Justin Bieber hatemobile, which is basically just an overloaded jalopy driven by a foul-tempered orangutan named #1JoostinHatrr (apes can't spell). I was convinced we were watching the very public entropy of a…
Internet Is Going Kinda Nuts About Ben Affleck Playing Batman
Matt Damon's better (?) half is strapping on some plastic wings for the role of Batman in Warner Bros.' Man of Steel sequel. Twitter is going wild debating whether or not he's the best choice, but it's happening so we're all gonna have to down some wine and deal.
Today in Good Ideas: Post-Mastectomy Bat-Nipples
It’s probably pretty difficult for women facing a double mastectomy to marshall the soul-cleansing gallows-humor people use to deal with tragic shit, but fun nipple tattoos certainly help, especially if those fun nipple tattoos are fun Batman-themed nipple tattoos.
