The Dark Knight Rises is nearly on us – but there is still plenty of time to build buzz.

This reduces the chance of social media (hello Twitter) spreading the news that the […]

Superhero Week: Batman v Dark Knight statues
Geek shop powerhouse Things From Another World report that Batman is their hot collection this month. No surprises for guessing why. TFAW have between 10% and 20% off pre-orders of Batman models and statues. This blogger went looking – and enjoyed comparing The Dark Knight Rises statues to the more traditional Batman models. Batman v […]
Superhero Week: Batman: Knightfall review
Knightfall is the Batman story arc that introduces Bane. Given that the Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, is nearly here and also introduces Bane it comes as little surprise that DC and partners are putting this collection back on the shelves again. Batman: Knightfall (volume one) is a large collectors collection. It’s over 800, […]

Superhero Week: Batman’s Femme Fatale
Batman manages to attract the attention of an interesting collection of femme fatales. Is this because writers are often tempted to view Batman as the peak of male potential (successful, active, rich, community minded…) and pitch him against someone female? Artists Andrea Rhodes and Saul Ruiz have a collection of some Gotham’s troublesome women. A […]
Superhero Week: LEGO superheroes
Our second post in Superhero Week is to look at some LEGO heroes. There are some impressive LEGO builds out there but my favourite may well be Superman and Young Justice versus Brainiac in a battle around The Daily Planet building. There are easier ways to get started with superhero LEGO. The company has both […]
Superhero Week: The coffee starter and superhero mugs
It’s the first of July and the first ever Superhero Week here at Geek Native. Superhero Week means along with all the gaming, anime, computer game goodness that you’ll expect – there’s a supercharged boost of superhero specials. Here’s a question – how does any blog begin their Superhero Week special? After much though, over […]
The Rockabilly Batman and Bane
Bob Kane and Bill Finger created Batman in 1939 and so the Dark Knight lived through the Rockabilly era of the 1950s.
