I love this sketch. Burton drew it as a gift for Batman’s production designer, the late, great Anton Furst. Look at those feet! (Via.)

Is This The Most Filmed Death…Ever?
The killing of Thomas and Martha Wayne may be the most filmed murder of all time. Vulture has put together a short video showing all of these killings occurring side by side, simultaneously. I only hope that Bruce Wayne doesn’t stumble across this while working at the Bat-Computer today.
We’ve All Heard Of Jesus’ Image Appearing On A Slice Of Toast…
…But what about the bat-symbol appearing in a child’s smile? Surely this is the work of the nefarious Joker!

I L-O-V-E these tees! Blending the logos from Bruce Timm’s 1990s Batman cartoons with the silhouettes of Sherlock and Watson was an inspired idea, and the results are as iconic as they are eye-catching. Both shirts are available on Amazon:

Go, Read: DC’s Super Dictionary
Back in 1978, The Super Dictionary was a fun way to teach kids new words using context and repetition. Nowadays, it’s a treasure trove of oddly-captioned weirdness. I can only hope I age as gracefully.

A Lonely Vigilante In The Lone Star State
French photographer Remi Noël, fascinated by American culture and the state of Texas, traveled from Houston to Dallas taking black and white photos of his “traveling companion,” a small Batman action figure. While the concept may sound like a one-note gimmick, the resulting photos range from the haunting to the hilarious, perfectly capturing the surreal sensation of traveling alone in a faraway land.

Quell Your New Year’s Neurosis With These Two FREE Comics!
The new year often brings with it some serious soul-searching. Like the mid-year and end-of-the-year soul-searching, this beginning-of-the-year soul-searching is usually pretty depressing. Some folks will tell you to simply ‘snap out of it.’ Take a walk. Pop a pill. Buy a puppy. Not me. Over the years, I’ve found that the best way to stop feeling sorry for myself is to momentarily engage with something far more miserable — like, say, a maudlin movie or a particularly bleak book.
Don’t get me wrong. Human interaction works…sometimes. But other times it’ll leave you feeling far worse than before. That’s why I recommend art. Even at its most grim and gritty, well done art has the power to be life-altering. Inspiring, even.
This morning I had just such an experience with Gerardo Preciado and Daniel Bayliss’ two FREE, unofficial, online comics, Batman: The Deal and Superman: God’s End. Both of these comics are undoubtedly downers, yet both of them also planted the seeds of hope within me.
Tumblr’s Top Comics Talk
Tumblr is a lot like a comic book shop — dark, dingy and full of deviants and detritus.
KIDDING.
No, Tumblr is a lot like a comic book shop because if you browse around long enough, you’re bound to come across something that you would have NEVER seen anywhere else.
From a Bronson-esque Batman to Beyoncé in a Beto dress, here are a few of the better bits I happened upon this week.
Arresting Aerosol Imagery, Batman!
This beautiful Batman-themed graffiti was found by SneakyLawyer and his girlfriend while exploring an abandoned housing complex in Belgium. The artist, who uses the name ‘PETEONE,’ filled multiple rooms with his Bat-art, sampling styles from Bruce Timm, Brian Bolland and Jock.

2 Silly Comics For Cynical Comics Fans
Hulk SMASH! Hulk SCOLDED! Hulk…sniffles?!
Batman is a hoarder. And no matter how hard Alfred tries, the caped crusader refuses to clean out the Batcave.
Tumblr’s Top Comics Talk
Nightwing commutes between Blüdhaven and Gotham. Aquaman splits his time between the ocean floor and the Hall of Justice. Me? I spend every other hour toggling back and forth between the wide open plains of the World Wide Web and the dank, darkened confines of Tumblr.
Why?
Cuz while the internet likes to think of itself as erudite and enlightened, Tumblr is unapologetic in its nerdiness and navel-gazing. It’s a lot like a comic book shop in that way. And just like a comic book shop, if you browse around long enough, you’re bound to come across something that — for better or worse — you would have NEVER seen anywhere else.
Here are a few of the better bits I happened upon this week.
