On the Subject of Bat-Branding

Image result for batman symbolSo. Today I have to write a rather quick blog post, but I hope you enjoy anyway. So, today would like to discuss a passion of mine, Bat-Branding. Why is it that Batman feels the need to put a bat symbol on everything?
Flashdrive, Vehicles, his platform in his SECRETS BASE. It's rediculous. I can picture Bruce walking into Best Buy, buying flash drives en masse, then drawing a bat on every single one.
One thing I wonder is, does Bat-cow have a Bat symbol branded onto him? Does Titus' collar have bat-dog tags?
I think Bruce has a problem. Even his companions are Bat themed (aside from Robin) Batgirl, Batwing, Black Bat, I mwan seriously. He takes it to far. See you next week!

Everything Right About Kenan Kong as Super-Man!

First off, I just want to apologize for nobody posting during the majority of the Summer. We were all super busy, so we thought it best to take a hiatus. But with school starting today, that ends and we'll be pumping out content on our regular schedule. Thanks for being patient with us and we hope you enjoy :)

So I kow it may be a bit early to be doing this, but after reading The New Superman #1 and instantly loving Kenan Kong, I knew I had to do a post on him. So, that outta the way, here is Everything Right About Kenan Kong as Super-Man:
1. He's a jerk, and not in a good way. He not a Tony Stark type jerk, no no no, he's a straight up bully, and I love it. He goes against not only common Superman cliches, but also common Superhero tropes. New Superman #1 opens with Kenan beating a kid up for for his lunch. Then, when he gets his powers, he doesn't say thank you, he leaves. I love it.
2. He doesn't belive in Truth, Justice, and the American Way. This kinda goes with the first point, but aaayyyy, it's not like your the list police. Anyway, those famous Superman ideals? Super-Man could care less. Truth? Forget it. Justice? "Gimme your lunch!" The American Way? He's Chinese!
3. He's Chinese, and he's Super-Man and that's awesome. He's the best example of diversity I've seen from DC in a long time. Sure we have some black charecters, but asian? Not as frequent. He's not even overly stereotyped (Vibe). And I think that's cool.
And that's why, after only 1 issue, I love Super-Man. Make sure to look out for Kris's post on Wednesday, and I'll see you next week.

Theory Time!

Sorry, but I don't have a Top 10 list today, either. I came up with this theory a few days ago and couldn't wait to share it. So I was looking at Pinterest, and I saw found this:

This picture is of Hawkeye, conversing with a child in a Hulk costume. Hawkeye says he has his hearing aids out, and we can't read or "hear" what the kid is saying. So I started thinking. What if we experience comics like the protagonist wants us to, or how they experience it.

One of my supporting reasons is Batman, or more specifically Gotham. A video by NerdSync (I'll put a link below) theorizes that Gotham isn't as bad as us as the readers thinks. We mostly see the bad things that happen in Gotham, because who would read a comic if a lot of it just showed normal life? My spin on this theory is that Batman not only mainly interacts with the low lives of Gotham, but Batman obviously has a dark state of mind. So what if we see Gotham how Batman sees it?

My next point is about Deadpool. Deadpool obviously has brain damage. His comics are almost always the wackiest and strange. What if a lot of what we read in the comics just happens in his head?

I consider this picture to be proof. 372,844 pancakes is a lot of pancakes. I did some research, and it takes about three minutes to cook each side of a pancake. So I punch those digits into a calculator, and it would have taken him about 1553.5 DAYS to make those pancakes. That's about 4.2 years. And that's doing it nonstop, with absolutely no time in between pancakes.

This is probably not factual, but I will say that maybe the writers make Deadpool, Batman and other comics like this just because it's fiction and they can do whatever they want, but most theories are seldom confirmed. Tell me what you think in the comments. Thanks for reading!

13 facts you didnt know about Supernatural



Everyone loves Supernatural, the popular TV show about the two Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean, who were raised by their father, John, to hunt and kill the "unnatural" after his wife, Mary, was murdered by the yellow eyed demon when the boys were kids. 22 years later the brothers set out on a journey to find their recently missing father who, when they finally meet up with, reveals he knows what killed their mother, a demon, and has found a way to track and kill it. Meanwhile, Sam starts to develop abilities. Death visions, visions of people dying before it actually happens. These visions are somehow connected to the yellow eyed demon who murdered his mother and its mysterious plans that seem to be all about Sam. When their father dies striking a deal with the very same devil that had killed his wife, the brothers, now alone and without their mentor, are determined to finish the crusade their father started. But disturbing revelations about Sam's part in the demon's apocalyptic plans are presented when John's dying last words to Dean are revealed. Here are 13 facts you may have missed.

  12. Sam is horrified of clowns. He has been since he was little.
  13. Early on in the series, Deans phone number was given, for awhile, the studio had it set up so that if you called the number, you would hear a voice recording of Jensen Ackles (Dean) saying "This is Dean Winchester. If this is an emergency, leave a message. If you are calling about 11-2-83, page me with your coordinates." The full number was 1-866-907-3235.  
Thanks again for reading! I'm sorry for posting so late, family emergency. I hope you enjoyed it, and if you haven't watched Supernatural, you should try it. Also if this is Misha Collins, we all at Geekagogue love you, good sir (me the most). Check back in next Wednesday for another post!
