KITT should run for cover. The new Batmobile, which debuts in next week's Batman #676, looks totally amazing and guaranteed to put the "cowardly and superstitious" into any fleeing criminal scumbags. Too bad it's appearing in the first issue of a storyline called "Batman R.I.P." — but at least Bats is going out in a sweet ride. [MySpace, via Newsarama]

Quantum Internet Could Protect Batman's Secret Identity
With countries like China, Pakistan, and even the US spying on their citizens, it's nice to know a remedy might be on its way in the form of the Quantum Internet. As researchers like Seth Lloyd of MIT make progress toward the goal of quantum computing, they've found that the same architecture used to build quantum random access memory (QRAM) could apply across the whole of the internet. This could put an end to internet spying for good, and would mean that Batman could send email to the JLA without fear of discovery. More »

Samuel L. Jackson's Iron Man Cameo Is Already Online
People have already uploaded crappy cameraphone copies of Samuel L. Jackson's notorious cameo in Iron Man, and we wouldn't be able to call ourselves spoiler maniacs if we didn't post a copy here. Our spoiler pride also drove us to dig up some new X-Files 2 details and pore over some pretty spoilery new Indiana Jones photos. We've also found out which enemy Batman fights at the end of the direct-to-DVD animated Gotham Knight, and the identity of Spider-Man's latest enemy. We're all about the spoiler pride. More »

Super Sons Bridge The Super Generation Gap
After last week's post about GeNext, the sons and daughters of the X-Men, I couldn't help but wonder how many other people remembered the first series of stories to truly show how difficult it would be for the offspring of those who spent their time trying to save the world on a regular basis... especially when your parents were the most famous super-heroes in the entire world. That's right, people; I'm talking about Superman Jr. and Batman Jr. - better known to the world as the Super Sons. More »

Axe-Wielding Schoolgirls Battle Spacemen For Your Comics Dollar
Despite what many of you merry perverts may think, it's not all musclemen in tights and axe-wielding schoolgirls in short skirts in comicbookland.

This Is Grant Morrison On Drugs
The most shocking revelation from Grant Morrison's panel at New York Comic-Con: comics' most trippy writer was a straight-edger until he turned 30. After that, of course, the floodgates were opened and it was drugs, drugs, drugs, as he explains in this clip, courtesy of Zach from ComicRelated.com. Besides explaining what on Earth fueled The Invisibles, his 1990s punk-paranoid comic, Morrison also dropped a few hints about Final Crisis — hope you'll be glad to see Frankenstein in issue 3.

DC Universe Will Give Us "Manazons" and Anatomically Correct Supergirls
A new Secret Six series, evil math and 'Manazons' for Wonder Woman to face, and a Supergirl without T&A were only a few of the announcements made by DC Comics uber-editor Dan DiDio (flanked by cosplayers as Good and Bad Mary Marvel) and the panel of DC writers and artists at New York Comic-Con. They also revealed a new chapter in DC's ongoing space war, and an ominous development for Green Lantern's space police squad. More »

Batman: Not R.I.P., But Something Worse?
We've mentioned it a couple of times before, but now writer Grant Morrison is making it very clear for the entire doubting io9 readership (and, for that matter, writers): Batman R.I.P. is intended to end Bruce Wayne's crime-fighting career once and for all. But, unlike Morrison's All-Star Superman, that doesn't mean that he's going to kill Wayne off; he has something much less pleasant planned, apparently. More »
