The new trailer for Batman v Superman was leaked online this week and it looks pretty good. Zack Snyder1 did the clever social media-savvy thing and dropped a high-definition version of the trailer shortly afterwards. #BatmanvSuperman #NotBlurry #NotPirated https://t.co/6twr1oFBvr — ZackSnyder (@ZackSnyder) April 17, 2015 Reactions have been mixed apparently….

In my quest to buy every single action figure DC Collectibles pumps out that’s based around the Batman “Arkhamverse” video games, I have so far managed to buy a giant alligator man, a steroid Joker and a colossal zombie. When Solomon Grundy turned up in the mail, I joked that…

Despite not actively being a die-hard LEGO collector1, I somehow have a growing collections amassing on one of the coffee tables in my flat2. The collection grew a little larger over Christmas, with my other half kindly gifting me a LEGO set that pandered to my fascination with both LEGO…

If you thought my physical space was cluttered, you should take a look at my computer desktop. I tend to save everything to the desktop and then, once every few months, go through everything and either archive it to a hard drive or consign it to the digital recycle bin….

At the beginning of the year I wrote about a Paint-Your-Own Gromit model I did up in the style of Peppa Pig. What I didn’t mention in that post was that I had actually bought two models – one for my relative, and one for me. The reason for this…

The third time’s the charm! This week’s theme is “Ian Fleming”, and we somehow manage to deviate heavily, driving drunkenly in a meandering fashion across an entire range of James Bond-based topics. The topics can be boiled down to the following: Murdered: Soul Suspect (video game) Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack…

I’m a big admirer of Derren Brown. He’s managed to convince 99% of people that he’s simply a stage conjurer who uses a combination of psychology, hypnotism and good old-fashioned misdirection in order to give people a good time. This is in fact a lie, and I know this because…

I’ve always had a little bit of an obsession with Batman, particularly when it comes to the Joker. I don’t know why I’ve always had this fascination with the purple-dressed pale-faced psychopath, especially since I do suffer from coulrophobia1. My fascination started with Jack Nicholson’s portrayal in the Tim Burton…

You may already be aware of a small obsession I have with the Batman Arkham games and the toys based on those character designs – I’ve shown off my little collection before in a self-indulgent display of “look how much disposable income I have (LOL)”. You can consider this to…

Have you heard the news? Courtesy of my favourite Taiwanese news-reporting animation team! The internet has exploded over the announcement of “Batfleck” (don’t blame me, I didn’t come up with the name – I was going to call him “BatAffleck”). The issue was even particularly contentious in the office where…
