Check Out These Two Awesome Ninja Batman Collectible Action Figures
We concur that Batman has a lot of similarity with ninjas. Portraying Wayne-san in medieval Japan, as a sword-wielding cape crusader almost seem too appropriate. The animated feature film Batman Ninja, directed by Junpei Mizusaki and produced by Warner Bros., was released in stateside in digital format on April 24, 2018 and theatrically in Japan in June 15 in the same year. It is worth noting that the American and Japanese versions have a slight variation in screenplay. Continue reading Check Out These Two Awesome Ninja Batman Collectible Action Figures
The Cost Of These Iconic Pop Culture Structures Will Blow Your Mind
Movies don’t show everything. While motion pictures tell some story, they never detail everything like for example, whether super villains eat, or do they bathe or poop, and they certainly won’t give you a hint of what it took to build the Batcave or Hogwarts castle, and how much real world money they would cost – if they were to be built in this non-fictional world.

LEGO App-controlled Batmobile Is Now Available, But It Is Not For Everyone
If you are NOT a huge fan of Batman, but adore his rides, then this adorable LEGO 76112 App-controlled Batmobile may appeal to you. I am not totally sold, though because, it is a tad too cute for my liking. I mean, the look is OK, but TBH, I can’t look at it without conjuring the image of Ryu Nakanishi’s armored amphibious tank, the G-5 Mecha, from the iconic Gatchaman anime. It has the same chubby form, but instead of tracks, this cute Batmobile had fat wheels. Continue reading LEGO App-controlled Batmobile Is Now Available, But It Is Not For Everyone
The Details In This 6’ Tall Custom LEGO Batcave Will Blow Your Mind!

Continue reading The Details In This 6’ Tall Custom LEGO Batcave Will Blow Your Mind!
This Custom LEGO Batmobile Deserves To Be A Real Batman Ride
Over the years, Batman has lost his appeal against characters with ‘real’ superpower, but one thing that continues to captivate me is his gadgets, more specifically, his ride, the Batmobile. In a way, Batmobile kind of defines this superhero without superpower. I have in my possession two LEGO UCS Batmobiles: the LEGO UCS Batmobile 7784 and the LEGO UCS Tumbler 76023. They are both as fabulous as they are iconic, and now, there is one “fictional” fan built (AKA LEGO MOC) that I think deserves to be in the same place as those two official sets. Continue reading This Custom LEGO Batmobile Deserves To Be A Real Batman Ride
If Superheroes Do BBQ, They Will Probably Use This BBQ Tool Set
I am not sure if superheroes like Batman, Captain America, or Wonder Woman do BBQ. I imagine that they not only do, but have a deep love for BBQ. After all, they are Americans aren’t they, and honestly, tell one true blue American who doesn’t love a good BBQ session? Probably none. If they do, I also imagine they will be flipping patties and sizzling those hot dogs with the Superhero 3-piece BBQ Tool Set with the name of their alter ego. Continue reading If Superheroes Do BBQ, They Will Probably Use This BBQ Tool Set
Batman As A Ninja Is Totally The Right Thing To Do
Ninja was a covert agent (but more like mercenary, really) in feudal Japan who have been depicted in numerous movies and TV series. On screens, ninja are often depicted as skilled, elusive, and stealthy force, who are often loaded with gadgets and does disappearing act. In some way, Batman is very similar to a ninja and therefore, it kind of make sense for Warner Bros. Japan to come up with an animated feature called Batman Ninja. Yep. That’s right. The Bat has gone Japanese. Though we are not sure if the Bat will be played by a Japanese version of Bruce Wayne, or it is just Wayne-san in medieval Japan, as a ninja.

If Bruce Wayne Ever Went Broke, This Will Probably Be His Crimefighting Ride
Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman, always gets the best gadgets and rides money can buy, and therefore, to think that the billionaire masked crimefighter will use a Toyota Camry as his ride of choice when he go about kicking baddies’ ass is nothing less than absurd. Seriously, Joker will probably die laughing. However, if he ever go broke, who knows he may resort to converting a lacklustre ride into his Batmobile like what this Imgur user did. But, of course, knowing the Bat, he will probably tricked out the drivetrain to maybe include jet engine(s) and the requisite afterburner(s), along with Bat-ish not-so-aero aero kit and a bunch of seemingly just-for-show bits. And how can we forget the Batman’s favorite color, black for the paint job, eh? Continue reading If Bruce Wayne Ever Went Broke, This Will Probably Be His Crimefighting Ride
Guy Built Christopher Nolan’s Batmobile ‘Tumbler’ Out Of A Minivan
Thinking of getting rid of your rusty, old minivan? Well, don’t. Not at least until you have read this. What you see here is the modern day pop culture, the Batmobile, AKA Tumbler, made famous by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy, DIY-ed entirely in the garage. Granted, this is a rather crude contraption, but you’d be impressed if you know that it actually has a minivan underpinning. Yes. That’s right. This is in fact a bat-minivan, or batvan, if you will. Cobbled by Instructables member Kid Hero who we’d hailed as a real-life superhero for making minivan great again. It may not look exactly like the movies’, it does look reasonably decent.
