Awesome Superheroes
Superuseless Superpowers
If superpowers are mutations a-la X-Men, most should be dead ends; Superuseless Superpowers explores pointless abilities including 13th Bullet Bulletproof and Slumberjack.
Trailer: DC Universe Online
We’re a bit iffy on this early trailer’s graphics, but with Jim Lee at the helm of DC Universe Online, along with 100+ heroes and villains plus Metropolis and Gotham, we’re plenty stoked.
Trailer: inFamous
Sucker Punch’s PS3-only superhero game, inFamous, is reminiscent of Prototype; it is however fully open-ended, which means we’ll see plenty of third-person mayhem in our future.
Shoot the Baddies
Finally, some targets geeks will appreciate: Olly Moss’ has a sweet “Shoot the Baddies” graphic that features our favorite movie and game villains. Note: vote for it at Threadless.
Trailer: Push
With Djimon Hounsou and Fantastic Four’s Chris Evans, Push is like the cinematic version of Heroes; it focuses on government-hired psychics divided into 10 types of powers.
Live Action Thundercats
This fan-made Thundercats trailer is surprisingly good; it’s amazing what some snazzy editing (check out that virtual grey face paint on Hollywood actors) and dubbed lines can do.
Gotham’s Youth T-shirt
Kids got no respect these days, or so the saying goes, but we can’t help but wonder how things might be different if the Dark Knight would just lighten up as seen on this Gotham’s Youth tee.
Trailer: Wolverine
No shaky cam footage or whacked out angles here: the official X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer is above, and while it’s light on FX, we’re liking the dark and foreboding tone.
Slowing Down T-shirt
Don’t let the scooter in this Slowing Down tee fool you; before you blink twice, The Flash will have run your ass over AND delivered righteous pwnage at Bingo and Shuffleboard.
Batman Uni-Formz Vinyls
We’re having a hard time choosing just one of these three Batman Uni-Formz urban vinyls; thankfully, you can get ’em in a limited-run “Statues Case” that includes six of the 8″ figures.
Video Game Costumes
We admit that cosplay often ranks high on our dork-o-meter. However, many of these 31 video game costumes are amazing, from a Link lookalike to a drop-dead sexy Ivy Valentine.
Art: Joshua Middleton
Joshua Middleton has a comic artist’s dream portfolio: known for his line work, he’s worked with both DC and Marvel; Superman, Batman and the X-Men are just a few of his “clients.”
Book: Watchmen (Hardcover)
While Warner Bros’ much-anticipated movie is stuck in legal limbo due to a lawsuit, tide yourself over with this special hardcover edition of Watchmen, available 11/11.
