Talking Lego Batman is now my favorite Batman
Bats shows some concern about his means of travel is this preview for the new Batman Lego Game.
This looks so awesome! I wish this was a show as well. BTW, notice that once again Superman is a total prick?
Detention or Super Villains class?
Italian artist Denis Medri’s designs for a rockabilly take on the Dark Knight with some inspired 1950s Americana reinterpretations of Gotham’s heroes and villains. His version of Two-Face — who is a “mix of Richie Cunningham and a Evil Fonz” — might just be the most affably ridiculous thing we’ve seen all day. Here are some other character-specific design notes from Medri:
- The Penguin is “a sort of entrepeneur fish industry import/export with criminal attitude.”
- Poison Ivy is channeling Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors.
- Joker is rocking the Teddy Boy style.
- Catwoman is modeled on Bettie Page.
AMAZING! I love it! I would love to see a series on this!
I really like this piece of art work. It’s a reminder that even hard working villains who are trying to cause chaos, mayhem and rule the world still take time to break bread together like a family!
I imagine them telling funny anecdotes about how they almost killed Batman…or made him look silly.
Good times….good times!
check out my blog for a bunch of other UMINGA art. There are more posts than this one. :) THANKS! Be warned it can be a little NSFW!
Creepy, but very cool!

I really have a thing for Villains in the Batman series. I tend to like villains anyway, but I especially love Batman and his adversaries.
