Medicom Mafex TDK Batman and ASM Spider-Man Action Figures Arriving Soon
This summer's superhero blockbusters kick off next week with the debut of Iron Man 3 on May 3, but for action figure fans playing catchup on last summer's The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises, it's still a good time to be in the market for Medicom's 6" Mafex line. Both a TDKR Batman and ASM Spidey are set to arrive later this month or in early May for about $40 a piece depending on the preorder site. Mafex Spider-Man comes with five different sets of hands, a bunch of web effects and a stand. Batman will come with two sets of hands, a weapon-holding right hand, a grapnel gun and a honkin' EMP blaster. For fun, Medicom even paired the two together for a couple of press photos. It's no Amalgam reboot, but it's still swell to see. You can take a look at Medicom Bats and Spidey after the cut.

Batman Will Hug Your Children To Safety With A New Car Seat
Confession time: I've always been super nervous while riding in cars that other people are driving. I think it has a lot to do with watching the episode of Dragnet where Joe Friday did a slow motion breakdown of the various injuries you can sustain in a crash when I was like eight years old, but it persists to this very day. Now, though, the mad science of the 21st century has provided us with something that could cure me of this -- and possibly all - fears: a car seat that looks like Batman and is designed to hug children to safety.
Sadly, the makers have yet to produce this thing in adult sizes. They have no idea the amount of money they are leaving on the table.

The Next 'Scribblenauts' Game Could Take Place In The DC Comics Universe
A few months back the official Scribblenauts Facebook page posted a loosely Batman: Arkham Asylum themed screen shot to show off the game's object editing tools. It was a testament to just how much 5th Cell's action puzzle game series had evolved since 2009 and a reminder that, even though players had access to licensed Nintendo characters on the Wii U, they could explore any universe they wanted with the right tools. According to a report at IGN, however, fans may not have to spend hours customizing as the next Scribblenauts will be a DC Superheroes game.

David S. Goyer: Wonder Woman Is 'A Difficult Character To Crack' In Movies
David S. Goyer, the screenwriter who has emerged as Warner Bros.' go-to guy for DC Comics adaptations, with credits including all three of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies and the new Superman film Man of Steel, answered an eager fan's question about why Wonder Woman hasn't made the jump to the big screen in a Thursday "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit. Regarding moving her to film as opposed to DC Comics' other big characters, Goyer said Wonder Woman is "more difficult than Superman, who is also more difficult than Batman."

Ask Chris #151: Flash! Savior Of The Universe!
Over a lifetime of reading comics, Senior Writer Chris Sims has developed an inexhaustible arsenal of facts and opinions. That's why, each and every week, we turn to you to put his comics culture knowledge to the test as he responds to your reader questions!
Q: Is there anything interesting about the Flash? Is he really a core player of the JLA like the animated series portrays? -- @JibblyChan
A: I think it says a lot about me that I always find questions like this really surprising, because I forget for long stretches of time that there are people who didn't get super obsessed with the DC Universe in the early to mid '90s. It goes without saying that this is a symptom of a larger problem I have with acknowledging that other people actually have opinions about things, and that they arrived at them by doing different things than I did, but we all have flaws we need to work on.
I mean, I won't work on any flaws I may have, but I can definitely tell you why the Flash is one of the best and most interesting characters in comics. Or at least, why he was.
