Super Plants?
I legitimately never had a clue that there was enough crossover business between comic book fans and fans of gardening to justify the merchandising coup that is DC superhero planters… You learn something new every day. Definitely cool to see Captain Marvel filling out the 4th spot.
It’s Not Like It Was A Good Idea To Begin With.
These are the most hideous things I have ever seen. I don’t care if they’re vintage from 1989 and in near mint condition. They’re HIDEOUS. And this guy dares to ask $450 for them. Seriously. If you REALLY have to have a pair of Converse Bat-stars, at least go for the used pair with the [...]
Batman Has The Best Rogue’s Gallery.
I think that’s considered common knowledge. And I’m sure it’s common knowledge around here how much a fan I am of villain-centric comic book covers. So obviously these are right up my alley. Especially the second. Killer Croc never gets the respect he deserves, and that giant bat-logo looks sick.
Chase.
I think we all know by now that I am really into the… shall we say, espionage and political intrigue side of the DC Universe. Suicide Squad, Checkmate, Manhunter… those are my jams, so to speak. So it’s only natural that at one point, I picked up a run of Chase. The basic gist of [...]
Vintage Bat-shirt.
While scouting the ‘bay for shirts to post about over on TeeTillDeath, I stumbled upon this piece of vintage 70s Batman merchandise from seller drob50spurs: Not only is this an awesome shirt, but the seller describes it as “buttery”. A “buttery” Batman shirt. That’s pink (description says orange, but it really looks pink to me). [...]
Building Your Own Utility Belt:
I think the important thing is to have a Bat-buckle that’s original. When everyone else is going for the traditional black on yellow logo, I’m saying you go with this vintage metal number. And then I guess you should worry about things like lock picks and smoke bombs and lasers.
Haberdasher Noize.
Only the Mad Hatter could find these cool. Only the Mad Hatter. And maybe Jughead.
DEADSHOT!
Back before Geoff Johns and Gail Simone were around to revitalize under appreciated characters, you went to one man: John Ostrander (and credit where credit is due, a good deal of said revitalizing was done hand in hand with his wife, the late Kim Yale). Their most notable revitalization of course was the turning of [...]
The Batmobile.
The ultimate in super hero mobiles. There have been many, many versions, but for model purposes I always like to stick with the old school… Of course the old school can sometimes cost you almost as much as an actual used car.
Awwwwww.
Who knew fighting crime could be so cutesy wootsy?
