6 other times Batman and Superman have fought!

Batman V Superman Jeremiah Skipper

The two arguably biggest superheroes are about to square off on the big screen! But this is hardly the first time Batman and Superman butted heads. With an idealistic and uncompromising world view like Superman’s, and Batman’s more pragmatic and hardened sensibilities, it’s clear that these two heroes, even in their shared pursuit of peace and justice, won’t always get along. In fact, there have been a handful of times that Gotham’s Caped Crusader and Krypton’s Last Son have clashed in comics, animated shows, video games and other what if/alternate universe stories. Here are 6 other times Batman and Superman have fought in other media:

'Until Dawn': The Ultimate Horror Game

Poster_Game_Until_Dawn_089993_

I can't believe I didn't find out about this game sooner! It would have been perfect for Halloween! Until Dawn is an incredible and wonderful game and it's just the right amount of scarefest for someone who hates scary movies like me!


Until Dawn is about this group of kids who reunite at a remote winter lodge to celebrate / get over a tragedy that befell them a year before. Little do they know that behind the shadows of the cold, dark night, something sinister awaits them.

Not your typical teen horror flick! Trust me!

Starring Grant Ward and Claire Bennet. (Or at least that's what we kept calling them.)
Along with other notable actors including Rami Malek (Mr. Robot), Peter Stormare (Count Vertigo), etc.

10 Ways Arkham Knight Is The Closest You'll Get To Being BATMAN

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before…

If you had a choice between being BATMAN or getting any wish you can think of…

Which Batmobile would you drive?

Because YES, WE ALL WANT TO BE BATMAN! THIS QUESTION IS INVALID. Batman has been an icon in pop culture for decades! We all love him and what he represents – the pinnacle of human potential.

Awesome Things To Expect At A Con!

Every year, more and more nerds are born made. Thanks to Marvel movies and DC TV, our people have grown exponentially! And with that growth comes the rise in attendees in nerd conventions. One of the most prominent of which, is the Philippine ToyCon!

And ToyCon 2015 is right around the corner! June 19-21 to be exact! If it’s your first time going, or you don’t know what Cons are, let me tell you what you can generally expect from them. But for those (likely very few) nerds who have no interest in Cons, let me tell you what you’re missing!

Authentic Adaptation: Street Fighter Assassin's Fist

GAMERS REJOICE! FOR A DECENT LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION OF STREET FIGHTER HAS ARRIVED!

street-fighter

Street Fighter Assassin's Fist is a 13 episode online series based on the popular video game. It started off as a passion project for Joey Ansah and Christian Howard but eventually became a Capcom sanctioned production. It was THAT good! Even if you notice that it doesn't have the same standard as your TV productions, but they still manage to come up with some great quality work.

The show focuses on Ryu and Ken in their formative years in martial arts. As well as the younger years of their master, Gouken, and his brother, Goki. Remember how Tekken butchered all the characters we so loved? And how M. Bison and Charlie in Legends of Chun-Li were facepalm silly? Well this is the exact opposite of that experience. There has never been a truer, more faithful, video game to live-action adaptation that Street Fighter Assassin's Fist.

The Last of Us - Uncharted and Arkham City's Lovechild

TheLastofUsPoster

The Last of Us has very familiar gameplay. It's no surprise that it's similar to Uncharted, because they come from the same game developers, but it also has some semblance to the Arkham franchise - having its own version of the Detective mode, a stealth kill system, and the gradual development of arsenal as the story progresses. 

But one thing that sets it apart though is its dark tone and incredibly gripping story telling. (Which makes it a perfect game for gamers to play, and non-gamers to watch.) The game's been around for a while now, but I'm pretty sure this is one of the biggest reasons why it's become so popular.

What’s e-sports, you say? E-sports is the all-encompassing term for competitive video gaming. But according to owner Raphael Gancayco, it represents much more. E-sports is the idea that competitive video gaming can be as real a sport as basketball, or football or any Olympic event.

Detour at the 8th Christmas Toys and Collectibles Fair

On my way home from Batangas, a friend told me there was a ToyCon at Megamall. Good thing I had my trusty camera with me, took a few shots of the event floor, which was relatively smaller than the usual toy convention. But cool nonetheless.:)

Super Mario Makeover

Last Oct. 26, the Saturday before Halloween, the barkada celebrated with a 90s themed costume party. I just wanted to share the costume me and Bett made for the occasion.

We decided to go Super Mario!

Cosplay Crazy

Cosplay Mania was held last Oct. 5 and 6 at the SMX Convention Center. And I’ve been to my fair share of cosplay events through the years, but not one this immense. It’s amazing what a lot of fan passion and creativity can do. 

Arriving at the venue, you can already see just how many people were anticipating the event. SMX overflowed of cosplayers and fans. The scene was painted with colorful characters and enormous props. Photographers had a field day! 

We entered the hall floor and it was like a festival. Merchants were selling all sorts of anime paraphernalia. From your usual shirts, books, posters and toys, to the less usual, like Harry Potter necklaces, Anime pillows, Captain America aprons, to sewing machines. Yup, sewing machines.

For Sale: Bags, pillows, keychains…and aprons?!?!
