Who’s Better: Superman Or Batman?

"I've come to warn you about a man named...Dan!" "Not now, we're comparing scars."

“I’ve come to warn you about a man named…Dan!” “Not now, we’re comparing scars.”

Superman is (until the New 52/DC You ruined everything) my favorite DC superhero if not my favorite superhero altogether. However, I do love Batman as well (same disclaimer). So which superhero is actually the better superhero? NerdSync and BanditIncorporated both give their takes, even though their favorite is actually the other side of what they’re arguing.

Pinball is a lot of fun to play. I even own a pinball machine I’m trying to review for The Clutter Reports. There are bigger fans than I am, though, like ScreenCrush‘s Matt Singer, who reviews some popular pinball games based on popular and not-so-popular movies.

The Cabal story has last names in the credits only and today I’m not in the mood for looking up info on a three-page backstory. If they don’t have the interest in telling you who created the comic, why put credits at all?

New Gamera Trailer Drops At NYCC

I was going to do this tomorrow so I could get the panel video up, but it takes all day (or night) to render and the latest attempt had a glitch near the end. So I’ll save it for Saturday and screw up my plans because life hates me! On to more important things.

Gamera #2

At New York Comic-Con, a “proof of concept” trailer was dropped for a new Gamera movie, now that the dust has settled when it comes to company mergers and the like. This isn’t surprising since Godzilla got a US movie and there is talk of Toho finally bringing the Big G back. Plus this was a project that was intended to come up even before the Legendary Pictures take on Godzilla. Thanks to the internet I have seen the trailer and…I’m not as excited as I should be.

Be warned: there are some disturbing bits in this trailer.
