Poor Martha Wayne. While there are plenty of comics about what Bruce Wayne's dad got up to before he was killed, from being a part of a secret society to performing surgery on a mob boss at gunpoint, there's relatively few comics written about Batman's mom. More »

Secret identities. Do we really need them? More importantly, do superheroes? And how do they really work? (Do they?) More »

That would be Dr. Manhattan. Yes, he spends a lot of the film naked; being transformed from an everyday nuclear scientist into what is essentially a glowing blue god with powers and perspective beyond those of normal human beings tends to make you less bothered about things like "clothing," apparently.

Just how hard was it for Iron Man to get its PG rating? Here's one of the sequences that had to disappear: Tony Stark orders poor put-upon Pepper Potts to organize a last-minute party at his house in Dubai. Then, after some painfully awkward party dialog (and a babes-in-the-hot tub moment) that probably should have been cut, he ends up with three hotties in his bed. Cue fireworks, and... it's Bruce Wayne time. See the clip below. Click to view [Access Hollywood] More »

After all the hype and buzz, The Dark Knight turns out to be a taut, morally ambiguous crime drama that shies away for superhero schtick in favor of something more understated and suspenseful. As long as you leave the movie somewhere around the halfway point. If you stay for the whole thing, then be prepared to put up with a movie that gets so carried away with its own cleverness and supposed daring that it manages to make even Heath Ledger's compelling performance as the Joker seem boring. Plenty of spoilers under the jump, so be warned. More »

Rogen says Hornet, which he's co-writing and starring in, will be about a superhero whose sidekick (Kato) is more famous than he is. But to us, it's just more proof that movies have scraped the bottom of the superhero barrel. More »

Must-read graphic novels are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale. More »
