It’s fine to have plain white and black socks on hand for certain occasions, but I recommend keeping your sock drawer full of wacky designs for everyday wear. Seriously, looking down at your feet and catching a glimpse of Batman can turn a frustrating day into a happy one.
Superhero Stuff has your sock needs covered with new styles featuring Batman and Robin, Spider-Man, Superman, and The Avengers.
See more styles after the break.

Late last night I couldn’t sleep and decided to watch “BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Part 2″ again. Now, this is only the 2nd time I have viewed it and the 1st time I pretty much watched it just to enjoy the story. ( It’s a seriously GREAT film. If you have not seen it then please do, it’s awesome! ) Anyways, last night I noticed a few details I had not seen before and here’s a fun example:
OK, there’s this huge fight scene towards the end where Batman and Superman are having a serious battle. There’s a ton of property damage and during one part they crash through the wall of a building and sort of walk through the middle of some little kid’s room. Then, they end up back outside and continue fighting. It’s a very brief moment. But, while I was watching this scene I noticed the little kid had a “1977 Superman Movie / Christopher Reeve” Poster on his wall!! It’s a very out of focus image, meant to be just brief background, and kinda hard to notice. I think they blurred the background to give the images depth.
But hey, here’s photographic proof. WOW! That is a nice homage placed in there by some Art Director or Animator, very cool!
This is just a quick post to share some random images of brand-new BATMAN items that will be coming out or are out now. First up is a photo from the recent 2013 TOY FAR, Here’s a new 1966 Batman “Penguin Batmobile” Slot Car by Auto-World. Yes, for the few who don’t know there was a classic moment in the vintage 60′s TV Series where the Penguin stole Batman’s car & then sort of customized it for himself. Wow, they’re actually making a toy of that…again, ha!
Then, here’s a cute decorating item called “My Pillow Pets” and it’s the Batmobile in plush form. Jeez, it’s SO gosh-darn cute, goo goo goo.
Now, last but not least, is this photo showing some of the packaging for a Hot Wheels BATMAN Classic TV Series 1966 Batmobile Diecast Car ( Mattel 2013 ). I’ve shared this item here before but this new photo I found is a little better so I thought I’d throw it in here as filler.

This time on The Bastardcast: Jeremy and Jason try to keep it together as they discuss meteoroids, asteroids, zombies, and other world enders like Warner Brothers’ development slate and the Dan Harmonless Community. Also, Jeremy and Jason nerd out on all the Toy Fair 2013 news and then fight about A Good Day to Die Hard.
Following that, Jeremy swings low on latest member of the X-Men First Class: Days of Future Past cast, Jason goes off the deep end when Jeremy mocks Han Solo, and they both think the that reports about the demise of the video game industry are premature and full of poop.
Yes, it’s the kind of high brow episode where our fearless hosts let you know that an actor’s artistic worth is determined by how many times he shows peen on the screen. In fact, that’s this week’s special happy fun hashtag, #PeenOnTheScreen.
All that and more #FebruMurray fun as we continue to celebrate noted kickball striker Bill Murray.
The Bastardcast: Presently running low on witty taglines.

If you know Stan Lee, then you probably know that he does a series by the name of ‘Stan’s Rants‘, in which he presents viewers with various tirades on various subjects of import to him. Now, the vocal super hero creator does his own ‘How It Should Have Ended’, discussing the way certain films might have been improved via a finale overhaul. Check out what Stan has to say on the movies Inception, Batman and Star Wars: A New Hope, as well as a nice little solution to the Star Wars Episodes I-III issue.
Thanks to GeekTyrant for the heads-up.
Each and every week we scour the Internet for nothing but the best in nerdy art. We leave no digital stone unturned, we poke and prod every nook and cranny of the Interwebz. Why? Because we love you, and we love to bring you weekly feed of nerd art.
On with the dump!
ABOVE: Nintendo would be wise to “borrow” from the HeavyMetalHanzo and this sweet Skyrim/Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword mash-up he’s put together. Link has been screaming at everything for years, just thinking about hearing “FUS RO DAH!” squeaked out like a tiny little mouse and you’ve got an instant console smash hit.[Geek Tyrant]
Hit the jump for the Oscars, Ryan Gosling as The Rocketeer and Bill f-ing Murray!
It’s the award season and the biggest awards show of the year is right around the corner, the 85th annual Academy Awards. Inspired by the Best Picture winners, from 1927 through 2012 and based on Gjon Mili’s 1949 Life magazine photographs of Pablo Picasso this tribute to the award show by Olly Moss can be yours. For all you hardcore movie lovers out there try to flex your nerd brain by naming each best picture winner without cheating, go ahead. [Geek Tyrant]
We never would have expected Hellboy to be a Batman fan. A team effort with pencils by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, inks by Francesco Francavilla and coloring by Euan Mactavish, you can imagine this as a setting just before Gotham by Gaslight Batman swoops in for a meeting. [ The Art of Francesco Francavilla]
Sue Storm is arguably the best mother in Marvel Comics. loving, kind, but if you do something to piss her of you better have some kind of resistance to invisible women kicking your ass. Nobody does her better, drawing-wise then the talented hand of Adam Hughes. [Comics Alliance]
NBC may be months behind on their airing the long-awaited, lukewarm episodes of Community, but the artwork of Ben Deguzman continues to live on heroically. Here, the Greendale seven as the Justice League, Ben has fitted everyone perfectly to a hero, being bang on with Abed’s Batman. It’s almost like he’s watched the show. [Geek tyrant]
Featured as the cover to the Star Wars Insider, the official Star Wars fan magazine, artist Roberto Campus created a fitting tribute to the famous Uncanny X-Men cover by John Byrne. Both share similar features to one another, but this is one of the best ones out there thanks to the force. [Deviant Art]
Never trust the lady with a high-power rifle, especially when it’s Tom Hodges‘ version of The Baroness holding said rifle. [Herochan]
Ryan Gosling as The Rocketeer, someone at Disney needs to get onto this as soon as possible. A fan-made promotional poster by Shaun Watson, this is just one of many the United Kingdom resident has crafted for the stars of today. Maybe in some alternate universe Gosling is actually The Rocketeer, breaking hearts in between his many post Mickey Mouse Club appearances. [XombieDIRGE]
You’ve probably seen many of these as highly detailed statue by the talent crew of craftsman at Kotobukiya, but they’re all based on one individual’s talented work. This version of Supergirl for the Marvel Bishoujo line is just one of the many by Yamashita Shunya, who has crafted many of the pieces currently sitting on your shelves and if not go get yourself one. [Uneventful Catastrophe]
“He slimed me.” Three words of legend thanks to Bill Murray. In our continuing support of “FebruMurray” we give you Ghostbusters‘ Dr.Peter Venkman. Created as part of Gallery 1988′s Bill Murray tribute show “Please Post Bills” artist Jason Edmiston crafted the true meaning of the month of love: getting slimed by a Class 5 non-terminal repeating phantasm. And a real nasty one at that. [Deviant Art]
Here’s a quick post to share the new that our friend Renato D’ Angelo finally got his “1966 Batman TV Series History” Book on Amazon. He self-published this book and I guess it’s hard to get your product on their site. Especially since he lives all the way in Argentina. Anyways, for people looking for this book this is great news. You can also buy it on his website, just CLICK HERE. Oh yeah, here’s the official Bat-Blog Book Review we did awhile back, just click right HERE!
Check out these great photos sent in to us by our Good Friend Marcio who lives in Brazil. In that part of the world they have a Fast Food Restaurant called HABIB’S and right now they have these 6 different figures you can collect promoting THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Film!! There are toys of Batman, Bane, and Catwoman! Actually, it’s 2 different sets of 3 figures each. One set is more realistic looking while the other set is very cute. ( Thanks Marcio! ) I also found the original TV Commercial for these that are airing on Brazilian Television, check it out!
