Mattel Starro set unboxing video
This video from the official Matty Collector site shows an unboxing of Mattel’s Starro vs. the Justice League boxed set. I’m not normally interested in merchandise and action figures – ergo their usual absence from this blog – but that Starro set is really rather cool. Not only does the contents look fabulous, but there [...]
Fan Film Friday: Maxwell Lord’s Advril commercial
I came across this fan sketch when I was researching Maxwell Lord’s biography. It’s a spoof commercial for Advril by Chris R. Notarile which features the Blue Beetle (Notarile) who is suffering from a headache until Maxwell Lord (Daniel Shaw) appears with headache pills – a sly reference to Countdown to Infinite Crisis where Max [...]
Fan Film Friday: Batman: City of Scars
In terms of fan-films you can’t get much more well recognised than Bat in The Sun productions. Their new production Batman: City of Scars has just premiered on Daily Motion. It was made by the brothers Aaron Schoenke (writer, screenplay, editor, director, producer) and Sean (screenplay, composer, producer). Batman and the Joker are played by [...]
Fan Film Friday: Batman’s Logo
Batman’s logo has changed and morphed over the years, but I hadn’t appreciated how much variation, until I saw this video which was posted to YouTube by the user Antupainamku.
Fan Film Friday: Five Fan Trailers

Warner Brothers have slowly been putting their comic book movies in order. The central engine for this was the creation last year of DC Entertainment as a division centred around DC Comics. Cinematical concisely describes the process since then: This monolith of movie production was set up in order to usher in more DC character [...]
Joe Casey’s Justice League Academy Pitch
Joe Casey had once proposed a Justice League Academy series to DC Comics. Casey discusses his proposal in an interview with Tim Callahan @ CBR in relation to the “glacier-like” pace of getting anything approved at DC Comics. About two years ago, at San Diego, I pitched an idea to the editor of the “Justice [...]
Mister Miracle Finger Board
I found this oddity whilst clearing some stuff out of my parent’s attic. It’s a fingerboard with a florescent coloured Mister Miracle on one side and a pencil sharpener on the other. I remember it from the 1980s, but I must’ve realised at the time that the figure on it was Kirby’s Mister Miracle. No [...]
Mattel SDCC Exclusive Starro Figure
There is a long tradition of producing exclusive comics or action figures for sale just at conventions. Mattel have just released details of their exclusive products for San Diego 2010 and there are a couple of Justice League related figures in there. The biggest one is an exclusive Starro figure – complete with Kevin Conroy [...]
