Review: DC Universe Online |NerdBastards.com →
Read my review of DC Universe Online the awesome people over at @NerdBastards let me write for them. I’m gonna warn you, it’s long but hopefully not long-winded and boring. Let’s face it, DCUO is a massive, massive game with lots to offer. I don’t think a concise review could have been any shorter. If you’re looking for an in depth review of the MMO smash hit here ya...

WatchVisiting the ‘Batman Live’ Auditions Where Actors Wear Their Hearts on their Capes (via @ComicsAlliance)
This needs to become an American Idol-type reality show. Can no one else see the potential!?! If Andrew Lloyd Webber can make shows recasting Maria in The Sound of Music and Joseph in The Technicolor Dream Coat then there must be an audience for this! If not they should make the...

At one point I liked this book. But now? Sorry, this book has just gotten ridiculous. And this current storyline is filled with the kind of stupid female romantic rivalry I hate.
Talia is removing Bruce from Selina’s memories because she might give his Batman secret identity away? Because she…
Agree. This book started with so much promise. Great characters...

First Bloodthirsty Clip of Bane on Young Justice →
At least Young Justice remembers that Bane is supposed to be from South America. There’s also two other non-io9 exclusive clips for your enjoyment. One of them pushing me to think Robin and Kid Flash have the making for a stronger couple than anyone and Miss Martian. Seriously, those guys are all about each other. Plus, still no Artemis!?! I’m getting impatient.

DC Couples Tournament: Round 9
As a reminder this contest consists of both canon and non-canon couples. The couples were selected by readers of the blog. The top 32 couples out of more than 120 were entered into the tournament. The only rule for the tournament was the couple had to be from DC comics as opposed to television or movies. The inclusion of a couple...

DC Universe Online, an addiction is born
I’ve been blabbing about DC Universe Online since I heard about the game in late 2009, now a year later I’ve been playing almost non-stop since mid-December. In fact an important part of me buying a PS3 over an Xbox 360 was this game’s excusivity. DCUO is only available for PC or PS3 (and apparently Mac’s with Bootcamp). I had my copy pre-ordered and when the release date...

True Grit
grit: firmness of mind or spirit; unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger
As part of my weekend at the movies I also saw True Grit. This film has been generating a lot of buzz so I’m glad I finally went out and saw it. Never having seen the original I went in to True Grit with fresh eyes, not unlike when I saw The Green Hornet (review). This film blew me away. It was so...

The Green Hornet
Remember how I said that midnight showings are the best times to catch a flick? Well, apparently no one else got the message. Our showing of The Green Hornet last Thursday night/Friday morning was surprisingly quiet. Granted, we were seeing the movie in 2D as opposed to the ever popular 3D. Doesn’t appear that our tiny audience was a theme nationwide though, The Green Hornet took in...

WatchGalactic Empire State of Mind (via @GeeksofDoom)
College Humor has struck again with this hilarious video of Vader rapping his take on Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind.” Great thing is, they didn’t even need to change the title, it’s too perfect. Plus there’s a little Leia action in there too.

Key points to a weekend of success.
I really want to put my film knowledge to work. I mean, I went to school for 4+ years and am a ridiculous amount of money in debt for something, right? There are two films on my plate this weekend. Two films that at first glance appear incredibly different but are probably more alike than we realize. Both films are remakes of already well know and well liked properties, The Green Hornet and True...

Nerdy Saturday.
Got to love days off when you actually leave the house and become a part of our capitalist society. Yep, I spent my Saturday spending money I really don’t have. But whatever, these things make me happy.
Went to the local comic shop, not something I get to do as regularly as I like. If you’re ever in the Columbus area you really must swing by Laughing Ogre Comics. Great shop, friendly...
