Caleb Paullus sent in these pics from his latest project, Super Not So Super – A Look into the super ordinary lives of superheroes. My favorites are Batman and The Flash, probably because they look less posey than the others, but all around awesome work. You can check out more pics and some funny photo comics at supernotsosuper.com.

Really? Emo jokes are so 1999, but your favorite super heroes just got a little more, well, emo.
JSalvador’s Super Emo Friends prints are freaking adorable and pretty LOL to boot. Each 6 x 11.5 print is signed, numbered and limited to 20. Gt ‘em while you can for only $20 over at Etsy.
Vanja Mrgan is a self-proclaimed Croatian illustrator, geek and an all around alright kinda guy who takes it upon himself to answer burning questions like: What would Wario look like with a beard? What would the Black Mage from Final fantasy look like with a beard? What would Mr. Game and Watch look like with a beard? What would RoboCop look like with a beard.
I think you get the idea.
Enjoy some of Vanja Mrgan’s bearded renditions of iconic pop culture icons below.
Revoltech, the line of meticulously articulated, heavily detailed Japanese figures recently held their Revoltech Expo and unveiled a butt-load of new figures as well as some surprising new licenses featuring popular characters from American franchises like Batman, Alien, Jurassic Park, and Nightmare Before Christmas.
While I thought the Batman Revoltech looked kinda’ lame and I could care less about an Alien Revoltech or a Revoltech of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park (although the T-Rex is pretty badass lookin’), the Jack Skellington figure stole my heart and gave it a boner. I also love how they’ve replaced the standard plain Revoltech bases with more fitting stands that better suit each character.
Check out pics of the figures previously mentioned and more at Tokyo Hunter.
This awesomely random mural featuring Animal Crossing, Yoda, and Batman among other things was sent in by loyal Albotian, Don Schwabs aka the dude who did the Scribblenauts Munny.
While looking for a toy store in a part of town I rarely visit, I got lost and turned down a back lane to double back the way I came. I got an awesome surprise when I spotted this mural on the back of a bicycle shop of all places. I love Animal Crossing, so I ended up coming back with my camera to take a couple of pics and merge into the one mural.
Thanks a bunch, dude! You should get lost more often so you can find more awesome stuff!

A reader by the name of Andrés sent me pictures of this badass Batman stencil graffiti spotted on a bridge in Mexico, but that’s not even the coolest part.
Okay, now here’s a zoomed-out pic. Notice that the arch on the bridge is starting to take shape?
Can you see it yet?
ZOMG! It’s Batman!!!
Andrés also says, “the bridge is in front of the justice department in my city, and HE is keeping an eye on them…”
What. An. Ass. Seriously, I’m not sure what’s more idiotic: the kid for thinking his hair is awesome, or the parents who paid for the kid to look like an asstard.
This pic is interesting because A.)it’s friggin’ Batman, and B.) it was taken with a Blue Lomolito Camera loaded with Fuji Superia 400 film. Crazy, considering Lomolitos are one-time-use cameras. How’d they rig it to take more film?
Daniel Reese aka Brass Monki is a 21-year-old shoe customizer who kicks major amounts of ass at what he does. Hit the jump for a sample of some of his customs and concepts ranging from Mario, Sonic, Tetris, and Final Fantasy to Freddy Mercury, Sin City, and Kill Bill. There’s even a freaking Twitter shoe!
Although there’s no official word that the Riddler will even appear in the next Batman flick, it’d be nice to see the Batman vs Riddler dynamic on screen. Batman is known for his extraordinary deductive reasoning skills, but the Riddler’s are way better. Imagine it — he’s always 10 steps ahead! He could be painted as the millionaire playboy villain to Bruce Wayne’s millionaire playboy hero. Seriously, gimme’ some credit. The foundation rules so far. All it needs is the perfect actor to play the Riddler.
Jeff – freaking- Goldblum.
His acting style would be perfect for the gig. Imagine his offbeat, stuttered lines being delivered as he plays the eccentric, smooth-talking, obsessive-compulsive Edward Nigma. Jeff Goldblum’s the only actor that could portray ego-maniacal confidence and a desperate obsession driven by a tortured past.
Admit it, you want this to happen just as much as I do.
Who do you guys think would make a good Riddler? Let me know in the comments.
Batman’s a little strapped for cash these days and has to sell some of his old shit. Like a pair of Batsocks… which look a lot like regular socks. He needs money for hookers at the Ramada Inn and delicious Arby’s roast beef sandwiches, but who doesn’t these days?
