Lindsay Lohan has made leggings so famous, even Wonder Woman has traded in her trademark shorts for a pair.

In the newest issue of her comic (available today) the iconic super heroine is sporting a new "darker, more modern costume."

Picture and quote from NY Daily News

"It's a new contemporary look that matches the storyline of the series," Dan DiDio, co-Publisher of DC Comics, told the News. "We wanted to reinvigorate a character that has had a [look developed] in the 1940s for the current audience and hopefully attract a new audience."

The costume change marks the landmark 600th issue of the Wonder Woman comic.

"If you take a half step back is there enough of Wonder Woman [in the new costume]. It really captures some many of the iconic imagery associated with the character -- the tiara, the bracelets, the bustier, and the belt. We're really hoping it sticks," said DiDio.  read more »

Christopher Nolan has said he wants to use more of the more unknown Batman villians "because there are so many of them to choose from". Well, "many" is an extreme exaggeration.. "a few" is a bit more accurate. Mostly due to the majority of Batman villians being third rate charactors who are only interesting when they team-up with each other. The ones who can hold their own though are usually the ones that are a bit out there and would be next to impossible to present in any realistic fashion. Thankfully, Nolan's also said he will never use the Penguin in his movies (or Robin for that matter). So there's at least that. I just hope they don't go with the likes of Egghead, King Tut, Ma Parker, Calendar Man, Hush or that stupid Anarchy guy from the 90s. I'm pretty sure they're smarter than that, but who knows! At any rate we're just gonna cover the best and most probable villains that would fit into or could be made to fit into Nolan's realistic Gotham City.  read more »

There is also plans for a Hulk VS Thor (from Marvel Comics website) – It's gods versus monsters in this epic 45 minute movie! Never have we explored the explosive power of the Hulk like we have in this new film, every major character from the Marvel Thor universe is thrust into battle with this Green Goliath as he brings a new Ragnarok down upon the realm of gods.

Synopsis:

ALBERTA, Canada. Over the past week, The INCREDIBLE HULK has been tearing a line across the Canadian wilderness, leaving a swathe of destruction in his wake. He has to be stopped, and there's only one man up to the job. He's the best at what he does, but what he does isn't very nice. He's WOLVERINE, an elite agent of Canada's top secret Department H, and he's been put on Hulk's trail with a single objective: stop the Green Goliath… at all costs. Slicin' N' Dicin' Hulk and Wolverine are about to enter the fiercest battle of their lives. And they have no idea that there are a few unpleasant surprises waiting for them on the other side.

Both films are being released in 2009, Hulk VS Wolverine in January and Hulk VS Thor at a later date.  read more »

We were heavily debating what our second Bad Comic Idea should be. Lots of names were thrown around from Superman VS Muhammad Ali to The Fantastic Four, but then I remembered I had a Combo-Man phone card back in 1996. It was a no brainer. Yes Combos the snack food had a super-hero. He was a mismatch of Marvel characters (surprise, surprise that the House of Stupid Ideas was behind it) hence the "combo" part. I started to do a little research and found someone else had done it for me.

Here are Comb-Man's Stats: (Combo-Man's history and more pictures here.)

COMBO™ MAN

Real Name: Rick Wilder

Identity/Class: Human mutate
