Comic Trivia Of The Day- Mr Freeze

o Mr Freeze is one of the big time players in Gotham City. Terrorizing the world with sub-zero weapons whilst encased in his giant robotic-like armour which keeps is body below zero degrees.

Victor Fries aka Mr Freeze first appeared in Batman #121 (1959) and has used his ice-cold weaponry to inflict serious damage to the civilians of Gotham and securing millions of dollars that he and is cold-hearted gang have accumulated over the years.

But did you know that Mr Freeze does actually show off his human side. He mainly uses all of the money that he has collected over the years, from a series of crimes, to actually fund his research into curing his beloved wife, Nora Fries, who he has put in a cryogenic sleep in order to preserve he body for the disease that she is dying from

This genuine act of love, be it outside of the law, is the reason why Batman and other members of Batman Incorporated have left him alone over the years (unless he's actually done something really bad of course)

Comic Trivia Of The Day- Deadpool

Today we will be looking at Deadpool, Yayyy!

Probably one of Marvels most popular characters, this anti-hero is probably the most psychotic person ever to grace the pages of comics and yet we all love him! The fact that he is getting his own game, which looks awesome and should be out this Summer!!!

Anywho, Did you know that Deadpool was part of Department K (in Canada) which was secretly working on the Weapon II-X project (where Wolverine was upgraded). By going rouge, Wade Wilson was sent to The Hospice were rogue superheroes were sent for rehabillitation. This was just a place where the people in charge Doctor Killebrew and Ajax tortured Wade, putting a 'dead pool' on him where people bet to see how long it would take him to die and thus this is how he turned into a nutcase and how Wade Wilson will always be better known as Deadpool

Comic Trivia Of The Day- Infinity Gauntlet

Continuing with your daily trivia, here's some more!

Today we will be looking at the infinity gauntlet, possibly the strongest weapon ever in the world of comic books, certainly more powerful than any green lantern ring. 

Thanos created the gauntlet in order to become the strongest entity in the universe, and wielder of the worlds. Thanos created this great feat by collecting the 6 infinity gems; Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Reality and Power.

Thanos managed to wield the gauntlet to wipe out over half of the universe including the Fantastic 4, the majority of the X-men and Daredevil as well. Eventually Thanos was defeated by his Granddaughter, Nebula

Comic Trivia Of The Day -Clayface

So today we will be looking at another aspect of Batman with this time looking at the villain Clayface. The original Clayface (aka Basil Karlo was introduced to the DC universe in 1940 by Bill Finger and Bob Kane.

But did you know that, so far, there have been a total of 8 people who have used the Clayface persona although the 6th Clayface, Peter Malley, actually went under the persona of Claything.

Clayface's malleable  skin allows him to morph into any object or person he wants with pin-point accuracy, well externally anyway. Due to his ever changing appearance,  Clayface does not actually have any bones as such and this can be discovered whilst playing Arkham City when Clayface portrays the Joker.

Comic Trivia of the Day-Fantastic Four

Did you know that, according to the new magazine, Marvel Fact Files, that the very first magazine only cost 10 cents in 1961 but in 2012 it would set you back around $300,000.

That is obviously if its a pristine unused, unread copy which a collector had enough sense to invest in. With a 3,000,000% inflation rate over the past 51 years (averagely it would be about
58823.53% per year although this clearly did not happen every year)

So people resist the urge to open your awesome comics and save them for the future!!!! Jk i couldnt wait 50 years to becone rich knowing that im missing out on the good stuff, just sell 'em on ebay once your favourite hero or villain is dead.

Comic Trivia of the Day-Bat-Girl

So today on the Comic trivia expedition we are looking at the original Bat-Girl Bette Kane who is also known in more recent years as Hawkfire.

So, did you know that the original Bat-girl was introduced in to the Batman in 1961 just to silence any critics that said there was a homosexual relationship/indications between Batman and Robin. This seems stupid now as many people probably won't care due to tolerant times but it was thought, that back in the late 50's/ early 60's that it was deemed necessary.

However when the new editor, Julius Schwartz came onto the Batman scene he deemed this notion silly and scrapped the character Bat-girl as well as her aunty Kathy Kane aka the original Batwoman however the original Bat-girl did crop again throught the pages of DC comics as a number of different heroes called Flamebird and Hawkfire

Spider-man and Red Hood, Who's copying who?

Ok so I admit the title must be a bit misleading and I can understand why but please hear me out.

After reading through the first issue of Marvel Fact Files I noticed the outfit that Spider-man wore whilst battling the Sinister Six in the series Amazing Spider-Man (Issue 682) you can see that Spider-man is donning a different costume compared to his usual red and blue spandex. Although looking pretty bad-ass in his outfit, I cant help noticing the mask that he has donned for this mission looks pretty damn similar to that of Jason Todd's Red Hood costume, especially in the animated film 'Under the Red Hood' (which, personally, is the best animated comic book film I have ever seen)

Due to the comic being published in March 2012 it appears that Marvel has 'borrowed' the idea off of the DC character. Due to the fact that there are close to a thousand different characters through out the pages of comics and I'm sure anyone of us would struggle to come up with a tenth of the amount of designs floating about.

I also doubt very much that the artists copied the idea more likely it was subliminal and you have to admit, the mask goes with the awesome armour really well.

Comic-com, wooooo!!!!

As you may or may not know, the MCM expo is coming to London, UK once again and I've finally got my ticket (not to brag but yay me :P). By purchasing an early entrance weekend ticket for less than £30(!) I want to provide a little diary of what will be going on there and maybe I'll get to talk to a few famous people as well. Comic-legend Mr. Stan Lee was at the convention last year so hopefully the line-up is as good.

As most of you may know this is also an excuse to do my first bit of cosplaying, which I'm really excited about! The plan is to go as Thomas 'Tommy' Elliot, better known throughout the DC world as Hush from Batman. Hopefully I'll be able to upload a picture of the finished product soon enough. Hopefully it doesn't suck too much.
Any ideas of what I should look at or do there would be great and if you comment below that would be awesome.

If you want to go to the MCM expo in London I've put a link at the bottom from where you cab buy the tickets (from the official MCM London site)
Also, another link below is the music video that MCM made with all the cos-players from last year.

Hope you guys and girls enjoy it and hopefully you'll give the diary a read in May.

Remember to +1 and follow the blog (only got atm :/) also tell you're friends and will hopefully see you guys in London some time soon :)

Greatest Comic Book Villains Ever Series- Batman Pt. 1

Ok so in this post we will be looking at the first bunch of DC villains and I thought what better comic to look at? Also helps that these are my favourite comics. Because there are so many potential winners from these comics that is going to be done in two parts with part 2 being uploaded a couple of days after this one. Okay so the list of villains for part one is: The Joker, Two-Face, Hush and Mr Freeze.

The Joker

The Joker is without question Batman’s greatest enemy of all time, attacking and killing people close to him. For example, Joker beat the crap out of the original Robin killing him as well as shooting and paralysing Barbara Gordon (Batgirl/Oracle). The Jokers insanity, along with a variety of weapons, mean you can never predict The Joker  as well as never knowing when or how he is going to kill someone. His obsession with Batman and destruction makes The Joker extremely dangerous to anyone who comes into contact with. Also The Joker is known to manipulate people, including other super villains, to get what he wants as well as giving him the edge in a fight.

Two-Face

A bipolar schizophrenic who is obsessed with his two faced coin, of which he cannot function or live without. Using his coin to determine the fate of his enemies Two-Face can use it to determine methods of killing as opposed to just whether or not he could kill someone. Two-Face’s previous experience as district attorney means that her is very influential, amassing a massive gang to take down his rivals.

Hush

Hush is obsessed with Bruce Wayne rather than Batman which is unlike most of the other villains in the book. So obsessed in fact that he removed his own face and grafted on a new one, just to look exactly like Bruce. His excellent surgical skills along with his dual-pistols means that Hush could kill you in a number of ways including torture in the form of removing the victims face whilst still conscious. His bandaged head is also used to install fear into his victims.

Mr Freeze

Mr Freeze is a man who turned to crime in order to save the love of his life Nora. If her safety is threatened in anyway at all, Freeze will go on a rampage looking for the accused. Wielding an ice cannon, which can freeze anything on the spot, as well as his special cooling suit with additional weaponry, make Mr Freeze a dangerous foe indeed.  To get him into the fight Nora would have to be taken and her resurrection would be his prize.

FIGHT 1:Joker VS Mr Freeze

Okay so the Joker has the speed advantage where as Freeze has the power along with the dangerous ice cannon. Joker has an arsenal of different weaponry though which could cause serious damage to Mr Freeze. All though his Joker venom would have no effect on Freeze, due to him being inside a suit, his other weapons could cause serious damage to Freeze, shutting down his suit and causing him to die.

WINNER: Joker

FIGHT 2:Hush VS Two-Face

Both wield pistols and would have an excellent stand-off. Maybe Hush would have the psychological edge over Two-Face if he made references about healing his scarred face, but that might not really bother Two-Face. A close quarter combat would lead to Two-Face being defeated in the fight and subsequently be executed. 

WINNER: Hush

FINAL FIGHT: Joker VS Hush 

Both of these villains can actually carry themselves in a fist fight with both having different styles. Hush more aggressive as opposed to The Joker who has a more flamboyant style. Joker would probably try to psych Hush out with his erratic behaviour, causing Hush to be distracted and that is when the Joker will get the killer blow.

WINNER: JOKER

Greatest Comic Book Villain Ever Series-Spiderman

All right so last night I was thinking about who the greatest Comic Book villain was in the history of Comics and decided to come up with a series of posts eliminating those who do not make the grade. This series includes both Marvel and DC comics as well as Todd McFarlane’s Spawn.

So this first blog is about the villains of Spiderman. My choices to review are; Venom , Carnage, Green Goblin and Dr Octopus.

Venom

A symbiotic life form that arrived from a different planet. The symbiote venom turns who ever it is joined to into a violent person , robbing their humanity and this makes me them more dangerous than ever. Latching onto Eddie Brock, the dangerous Venom is effectively a stronger and faster version than Spiderman.This could be due to the alien life form but it could also be due to the fact that Brock has for Peter Parker.Venom is cold and calculating, luring in his victims, including Spiderman, in an attempt to kill him.

Carnage

Like with Venom, Carnage is also a symbiote which latches onto the crazy and deranged  serial killer Cletus Kassidy. With his previous mental instability, Carnage is the most unpredictable, violent and dangerous Spiderman villains ever.He has similar abilities to both Spiderman and Venom but his erratic behaviour, along with his desire for killing, makes the villain one of the most dangerous in the whole of the marvel universe.  

Green Goblin

Norman Oscorp was a brilliant scientist who owned Oscorp Industries. He injected himself with a special formula in order to become stronger, faster and have an increase in stamina.  The only problem is that the serum turned him extremely aggressive as well as being insane. Green Goblin took out a personal vendetta against  Spiderman  and even kidnapped Peter Parker's child. The most dangerous thing though is that the original Green Goblin inspired others to follow his footsteps like his son Harry as well as inspiring the many incarnations of Hobgoblin.

Dr Octopus

Octo Octavius was another brilliant scientist until his experiment went wrong. 4 metal arms were fused to his body and are controlled by the doctors mind. The mechanical arms increase the speed and strength of Octavius whilst wielding them pin point accuracy. The arms have been upgraded over the years to do various tasks like shooting lasers etc.

FIGHT 1:  Venom vs Green Goblin

Although  the Green Goblin has a number of weapons in his arsenal I believe that Venom would take advantage and make the kill due to his symbiotic speed and ruthlessness.

WINNER: VENOM

FIGHT 2: Carnage vs Doctor Octopus

All though the mechanical arms of Doc Ock would do some serious damage to Carnage, I think that the deranged mind of Carnage would somehow find a way of tearing off the metal attachments of Doctor Octopus and eventually causing his death.

WINNER: CARNAGE

FINAL FIGHT: Venom vs Carnage

Although both villains are symbiotes I believe that Carnage would have the upper hand due to the completely  deranged and violent mind of Kassidy. Venom would put up a good fight but I see this turning out like the comics with Carnage on top.

Winner of the Spiderman Villain heats:

CARNAGE 

Possible Robin/Nightwing Film?

So as the dark knight trilogy has finally come to a very sad end there was a hint of a possible robin or night wing film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing as the costumed hero? The first hint is when John Blake goes to the orphanage and gives the receptionist his real first name which is Robin. As the receptionist says that it is a really nice name it gives us fans a little twinge hoping for a new film to be in the works.

The second big hint is that at the end of the Dark Knight Rises, when Blake is given coordinates to the batcave as Bruce Wayne/Batman leaves Gotham city with Selina Kyle (Catwoman). There is no explanation within the film why he has gone there so potentially it is building up to a new film.

Blake's attitude towards crime and helping people, especially the boys in the orphanage (seen in the Dark Knight Rises), is very similar to Batman’s attitude, as well as the circumstances in which the two grew up (both with dead parents) which could show that he would want to carry on the legacy off the Dark Knight if Gotham needs it (which personally I hope they really do)

There are some sceptical people though who think that having a Nightwing film would be too much of a niche target audience as possibly only the hardcore comic fans would know about the story of Nightwing. I believe however that would all be explained if the film went into production.

If it does go into the works then the obvious person to be directing it would be Christopher Nolan. The man did an amazing job with the latest trilogy; far beyond the fun kind of film of Batman and Robin and Batman Forever whilst still maintain the dark edge of the Tim Burton films. We all know Nolan will deliver in making an incredible film if we hopeful fans are right.

So if this movie does happen who would you like to see as the main villain for Robin or Nightwing to thwart? Please comment below with your suggestion.
