The characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets

Batman Live’s Batmobile
The Batmobile was revealed to a select team of geek journalists today. Geek Native wasn’t invited! No. The only conclusion this blogger can make is that the invite was lost in the post and that DC and the Batman Live team will try very hard to make up for the disappointment in some goodiebag shaped […]
