This is the real Iron Man. Heh, the chest light is a nice touch.

So clever - well done!

Check out this old set of costume patterns for Wonder Woman, Batgirl and Catwoman!

These for girls sizes 12 and 14. If you look closely, you can see the date on the package reads 1978! Very, very cool! Does the .25 written on the package means it sold for 25 cents? Quite a bargain.

This is an old clip from Legend of the Superheroes, a Hannah-Barbara production from 1979. Great to see Batman and Robin in their old school costumes.

Although, I must say that Batman’s last line in the clip is a bit disturbing. “Wait till you see what I’m gonna do to you when I get you back to the Batcave!”

Costume Pro ElizabethAmber just put her Harley Quinn costume up for sale on Etsy.

This looks awesome! The costume includes the bodysuit, headpiece with collar attached, gloves, and booties. At only $125, this is a great deal for a professional costume.

This video makes me a bit speechless. I have no idea where this is from or when it was made. It certainly looks old, though.

Here we have Superman about to attempt suicide by drowning himself with an anchor - because he’s just a freak. Fortunately, a couple of hippies come along and help him understand that it’s COOL to be a freak.

So, so very bizarre. Thanks (sort of) to Dolphin for the tip!

Marvel.com just posted a photo of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash on the set of Iron Man 2!

He looks fantastic! Heh, you’d have to be crazy (or made of Iron) to mess with that guy. I wish we could see more of his whips. This movie simply cannot come soon enough.

As a reference, here’s a picture of the comic version of Whiplash. What do you think, does Rourke get a passing grade?

AICN posted a couple photos of Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex. He looks awesome! Although I kind of wish his face was even more deformed, like in the comics.

Jonah Hex is a Confederate Civil War soldier who becomes a bounty hunter. In the comics, he’s time travelled and fought zombies and other monsters. Josh Brolin pulls off the tough guy routine perfectly. This movie will be awesome.

This video is hilarious!

Here’s a guy getting his Spider-Man cosplay on, hanging out in public, trying to make the world a better place.

Watch as a smart (but evil) girl unleashes her pigeon army against Spider-Man for the ultimate anti-cosplay victory. Poor Spidey!

LOL, I love the accompanying elevator music, it’s a nice touch. Great video! And thanks to Bad Horse for the tip.

This is a FANTASTIC clip of Saturday Night Live back in 1979. In a tribute to superheroes, they have Bill Murray as Superman, Dan Akroyd as the Flash, and John Belushi steals the show as the Hulk. Man, SNL was really good back then.

Marvel.com has a great article on their blog, featuring SNL’s greatest and goofiest Marvel moments.

“Ant Man, huh? Where are your ants?”

I love it! SNL sure has given us good laughs over the years. Thanks to Marvel for bringing back some great memories!

This is the coolest fan-made video EVER!

Someone painstakenly made a fake trailer for a Green Lantern movie starring Nathan Fillion. It’s completely incredible, and looks way better than anything the studio will end up doing.

I am 100% for Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan, this would be mind blowing.

This video was made using clips from the following movies and TV shows:

Planet of the Apes

The world has experienced two major shocks in pop culture this week…the win of Shawn and Mark over favored Dancing with the Stars couple, Gilles and Cheryl, and Kris beating out Adam on American Idol!

Well, here’s another shocker, people…after nearly 70 years of stringing along both Betty and Veronica, Archie Andrews is getting married. That’s right, Archie will finally propose to one of them.

News of the perpetual bachelor’s pending nuptials leaked out Wednesday on the Internet and was confirmed on the official Archie Comics’ blog. It will be a six-part story beginning in Issue 600 of his comic book “Archie,” shipping on Aug. 12th and hiting stores on Sept. 8th.

In the story, Archie has graduated from Riverdale High School and college! Heck, he may even be a working stiff when he gets engaged.

But who will Archie choose…the elegant, wealthy Veronica Lodge? Or girl-next-door, Betty Cooper? On Archie’s blog, Jughead has suggested that Archie flip a coin to choose between the two ladies.

Hey, you think that’s how America decided who to vote for on Dancing with the Stars and American Idol?

Yay! Check out Iron Man!

People has published an exclusive photo of Robert Downey Jr. wearing his Iron Man suit! This photo was taken two days ago as they filmed scenes for Iron Man 2 in Los Angeles.

If you look closely, you can tell the armor is only on the upper half of his body. So it looks like they will CGI in super armor legs in editing.

Woo hooo! I’m already so excited for this movie! A years seems too long to have to wait.
