Toy NEWS! The Dark Knight Sinks

Thanks to some ad for toys in a comics/magazine, we now know how Bane and Catwoman will actually look like in Warner's upcoming flick Dark Knight Rises, and it's...

(Click on the above pictures for bigger res'!)

...and OH GOD! MY EYES!! IT BURNS!! HAAA!!

No, really. It's not that awful.
But they look bad.
Such...silly designs. Nothing iconic. You'll have them forgotten in 2 years top!

Bane is...ugh... And Catwoman seems to come from some random bad con/bank heist movie.

Randoms - World's Finest Slash Fiction Art in Rome

Remember that superheroic repainted old statue in Bulgaria from a couple posts ago?
Well, here's an actual statue of superheroes.

This time it's Superman and Batman as spotted in Rome's Villa Borghese gardens.


Oh my... what does this kinda statue imply?? °___°

Anyway, once you realize there are actual Batman and Superman statues across the world, I guess this just goes to show how these sort of comic book characters are as much part of our culture as old mythological figures like Hercules, Atlas, etc..

Blog - somewhere in Bulgaria

Here's an interesting look for a monument in Sofia, Bulgaria.


It was originally a statue celebrating the 1944 "liberation" of Bulgaria.


The giant monument was built to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Russian ‘liberation’ of Bulgaria in 1944.
It is regarded as the prime example of the forceful socialist-realism of the period.

“The figures of Soviet soldiers at the base of a Soviet Army monument have been transformed into superheroes in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, reported the Daily Mail.
“Twenty years ago you would have been shot for stepping too close to this monument in Sofia in Bulgaria.

But some "vandals" (as some might call 'em, I prefer "street artists") updated the monument some years ago.


What d'you make of it?
