The Batman Villain Project

Every once in a while, we stumble upon something new and interesting while researching old, obscure comic-book characters. The Batman Villain Project is one of these hidden gems; it’s a photo set on Flickr that features artistic interpretations of a multitude of Batman villains.

Video of the Week: The JSA All-Star Story Site

One of our writers, Goose Gansler, created this video inspired by the golden age stories from our DC Comics fanfic site. It’s very cool, very geeky, and it’s basically an ad for our site (though with a link to our original Geocities site from many years ago). Enjoy!

Welcome to the Five Earths Project

At the end of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the last remaining universes were merged into one and became the current DC Comics Universe. But what if those five Earths were separated after the Crisis and continued on independent of each other? These stories explore what they’d be like. The time is not long after . . .

Why, you string all of them together into one massive story that eventually dovetails into a coherent ending, of course! At least that’s what I did when trying to find . . .

What in the world is Bizarro Fiction?!?

The other day I stumbled upon a fictional genre that was entirely new to me: Bizarro Fiction. I was captivated by the name alone. Obviously, as a comics fan I knew this genre was named after Bizarro from the comics, Superman’s imperfect duplicate. But while Bizarro Fiction’s name may have been inspired by the eponymous . . .
