Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head are no strangers to cosplay, which makes it all the more fitting that they would take on Superman and Wonder Woman – after all, they have already proved their superhero strength by surviving 60 years of playtime with small children.
The new 6″ figures will come complete with Superman’s signature (but significantly less flattering) costume and Wonder Woman’s tiara, bracelets and lasso of truth. They are expected to hit websites and store shelves this August.

This short film by Los Angeles-based animator Mike Roberts tells us that even though Superman flies around the planet saving people and killing aliens, at the end of the day he’s just another guy cleaning sh*t out of a litter box.

I would buy the hell out of this comic book. It features “all the guys I love”. Check out Spectacularry for the adorable story behind it.

Riza Turker created a series of comic book fan art which brings superheros like Superman, Supergirl, Robin, Poison Ivy, and the Thing into the realm of “adorable” while presenting situations you normally wouldn’t expect to see – like Spider-Man and Venom putting their differences aside to woo Mary Jane.

We’ve already established that the Bat Phone can handle social media just as well as Superman’s iPhone 4S, but the question is does it have an assistant as good as Siri?

What comic book fan hasn’t longed to see Superman battle The Hulk? Even if you’re not crazy into the two characters, you have to admit that the possibility of them duking it out is intriguing. One fan grew tired of imagining and decided to make it happen.
It took YouTube user mhabjan months of working in his spare time to put together and animate this pretend fight (still a work in progress). Plus he gets bonus points for rendering Superman as Christopher Reeve.
Choose your side and watch the action unfold in the video after the break.
Add Superman and Wonder Woman to the previously announced Dark Knight Mr. Potato Head and you have yourself the makings of a very tasty Justice League.

To the dismay of fans, the popular series Smallville ended its ten season run on television last May. However, just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Superman series will continue its story in comics. Season 11 will launch in April and will pick up right where the show left off. Clark’s wearing the suit now, and it’s bound to get interesting. From the press release:
Mark Rodriguez has twin daughters with very different tastes – one is into flowers and butterflies while the other is a Superman fanatic. Since they share a room, this presented serious decorating challenges, but thankfully Mark is an artist, and was able to create a dual-decorated room that catered to both of their interests. Mark created custom lights of a ladybug and the Superman logo as well as murals painted on wooden cutouts.
The logo light is especially awesome, and Mark states he would be interested in producing them for sale if he was able to secure a licensing agreement. Check out some additional photos after the break.
