Man of Steel director Zack Snyder just came out and rocked our worlds at Comic-Con. Not just announcing that Batman will be in the Superman sequel — which he did with a cool-looking metallic Superman-Batman logo that drove the crowd nuts. But that was not the biggest deal.
Have your butler clear off your work bench. Put your billion dollar company on hold! You have some weapons to make! Or you could just have Wayne Enterprises make these awesome batarangs. However, since most of us are not Bruce Wayne, we will just have to do it ourselves.
Instructables contributor Triumphman built this amazing folding steel weapon himself. He used an angle grinder to cut the shapes out of steel, then drilled a pivot hole. After that he smoothed and sharpened the edges, painted it, and screwed it together.
It looks great and folds up nicely to tuck into your utility belt. Head over to Instructables for the full details on how to make one for yourself. It looks pretty straightforward if you know how to work with metal and you have the right tools in your lair. No doubt, it looks horribly dangerous for the rest of us.

Batman’s collection of villains are a strange bunch, where most of them are just plain mad. After all, villains tend to have this lust for power, while some of them are totally insane that they just want to introduce nothing but anarchy to the world. The Riddler, however, is willing to tempt the world’s greatest detective with his collection of riddles, that sometimes ends up as irritating. Still, here is the $349.99 Batman Arkham City Riddler Tropher Replica that allows you to display it on a shelf, be it at home or at the office.
The reason why it costs so much is because this has been hand-sculpted, hand-finished, and hand-painted, so you can be quite sure that no two of these are the same, as there should be some subtle differences between them. Not only that, the Batman Arkham City Riddler Tropher Replica would look a whole lot better in the dark and at night thanks to a beautiful LED effect. This is an officially licensed DC Comics collectible, so who knows, it might even be worth something many more years down the road when you are old and feeble, while Bruce Wayne as the Dark Knight remains young, strong and rich in the comics.

How Batman Takes a Selfie
Posted in: Today's ChiliLet’s face it; no one takes better pictures of themselves than superheroes getting ready for a poster. But how do they get the perfect set-up every time? Like this.
If you were thinking about buying a Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-Ray set, check this out. This could be the Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-ray Ultimate Collector’s Edition box set. And it is awesome. This amazing edition is expected to go on sale sometime in the third quarter of this year.
There’s really only one reason to see the new Superman movie: to watch people with superhuman powers pounding the crap out of each other, flying into each other and burninating each other with heat vision. Luckily, The Man of Steel more than delivers on the super-punching front, even as it muddles through in other ways.
Now I’m no expert on agriculture, but I didn’t know that Gotham had any farms left. Then again, the Scarecrow had to come from somewhere right? That helps to explain this kick-ass tractor that looks like it came from Wayne Industries, right alongside the Tumbler we all know and love.
This tractor was built in the Netherlands, and it just happens to look like the Dark Knight’s tumbler. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Yeah. That’s all. This guy probably doesn’t have a Batcave and talk in a gravelly voice. At least that’s Lucius Fox told me.
He is not at all preparing armor, along with a black cape and cowl to fight crime in the Netherlands. Nah. That’s just crazy. So crazy it just might work.

Want to smell like Superman or Batman? Now is your chance. When you’re fighting crime, you want to smell your best. Otherwise, at the end of the day you are just going to smell like Joker sweat from beating up the Clown Prince of Crime.
You wear that tight suit all day and night, you fight bad guys, you fly around or zip from one building to another. You’re bound to work up quite a sweat. That’s why a super hero needs a super cologne.
The Batman cologne smells like Bergamot, Lavender, Black Pepper, with Cardamom, Geranium, Warm Patchouli and a hint of Vanilla Bean and Musk. The Superman version smells like Fresh Ozone, Ginger Zest, Lemon Sorbet, Crushed Greens, Nutmeg, Blood Red Grapefruit, with hints of Warm Amber Egyptian Musk. They each sell for $19.50 over at Hot Topic.
No word on when you’ll be able to smell like the other members of the Justice League.
