Awesome Comic Sunglasses “Sun-Staches”.

Nubia 10:10:00 PM

Maybe They're Not For Everyday But They're Hella Cool.

(Harley Quinn)

I read about these "Sun-Staches" on CBR and couldn't help but agree, I'm not sure why the name? haha. They have nothing to do with mustaches which is where my mind immediately wanders with the name.These sunglasses look like they're mainly for style and stunting around which makes me wonder how effective they actually are at blocking the sun.

Anyways, these DC Comics Themed Sunglasses are pretty rad. I'd rock a pair regardless. They're exaggerated and the ideal product for any nerdy/geeky fashionista. The only ones I can really see being worn on the regular perhaps are the Catwoman pair. The rest would be cool for cosplay purposes at Comic Cons or Gamer conventions.

(Batman)

(The Joker)

(Catwoman)

You can head over HERE and pre-order a pair which are estimated to be released this August 2015 for a very cool $9.99 right now.

Suicide Squad Movie First Look Cast Photo Revealed.

Nubia 11:28:00 PM

The Suicide Squad Is Here Kiddies!

David Ayer has blessed us with this goodie tweet. DC comics must be tight Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron is doing so good that they had to hit us with something.

Well this is an interesting group photo ain't it?! I love how Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn is totally standing out. She's definitely in character in this photo. Here we see Adam Beach as Slipknot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara (kneeling) as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.

I think so far so good. Any thoughts? I'm even liking Cara Delevingne as Enchantress. I'm a fan of miss Delevingne on the fashion runways so hopefully she impresses me here too.

Thank goodness I heard that the Jared Leto tattooed Joker look isn't going down. Honestly, that shit looked terrible with those tattoos. Plus I really like Jared Leto so I don't want to be unhappy with the characters look.

DC Comics Pulls "Batgirl" Joker Variant Cover At Artist's Request.

Nubia Mejia 12:13:00 PM

Oh The Controversy...

Did you guys see the variant cover for "Batgirl" #41? Well guess what?! It will not be published by DC Comics I learned yesterday. What I found even more crazy but I guess a bit understandable was that the request to pull it was from the cover's artist, Rafael Albuquerque.

"My intention was never to hurt or upset anyone through my art," Albuquerque, the acclaimed artist of "American Vampire," said in a statement. "For that reason, I have recommended to DC that the variant cover be pulled."

DUDE WHY?

I don't think the cover should have been pulled AT ALL. We can agree to disagree on this. Here are a few general reasons why.

1) Rafael Albuquerque is an artist! He's an expressive person and should conserve the right to be creative as he wishes. He's talented and that's why he got hired to begin with.

2) They're fictional characters!!! The Joker is an evil one at that! How about way worse things that go on in books, TV, movies and all sorts of places that are way more violent towards women than this?

3) I actually think it fits really well with the story line from the 1988 story "Batman: The Killing Joke". I think he did a good job paying homage.

4) This can start an ugly trend in the Comic Book industry. Will people start a social media campaign every time a cover slightly offends them? Will more covers/variants get pulled? I feel like this open up a can of worms.

The variant was inspired from Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's popular 1988 story "Batman: The Killing Joke," in which Barbara Gordon/Batgirl was shot and paralyzed by the Joker. It was always insinuated that the character was also sexually assaulted... but never confirmed.

The hashtag #changethecover was very active on Twitter and Tumblr asking DC to not release the variant. Then threats and all sorts of craziness started floating around the internet of course.

Rafael Albuquerque:

My Batgirl variant cover artwork was designed to pay homage to a comic that I really admire, and I know is a favorite of many readers. 'The Killing Joke' is part of Batgirl’s canon and artistically, I couldn't avoid portraying the traumatic relationship between Barbara Gordon and the Joker.

For me, it was just a creepy cover that brought up something from the character’s past that I was able to interpret artistically. But it has become clear, that for others, it touched a very important nerve. I respect these opinions and, despite whether the discussion is right or wrong, no opinion should be discredited.

My intention was never to hurt or upset anyone through my art. For that reason, I have recommended to DC that the variant cover be pulled. I'm incredibly pleased that DC Comics is listening to my concerns and will not be publishing the cover art in June as previously announced.

With all due respect,

Rafa

DC Entertainment:

We publish comic books about the greatest heroes in the world, and the most evil villains imaginable. The Joker variant covers for June are in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Joker.

Regardless if fans like Rafael Albuquerque’s homage to Alan Moore’s THE KILLING JOKE graphic novel from 25 years ago, or find it inconsistent with the current tonality of the Batgirl books - threats of violence and harassment are wrong and have no place in comics or society.

We stand by our creative talent, and per Rafael’s request, DC Comics will not publish the Batgirl variant. – DC Entertainment

In all honesty... What do you think about this situation? I highly disagree with the cover being pulled. It was a great piece of art and should have been published.

Fish Mooney Leaving Gotham.

Nubia Mejia 11:55:00 AM

This news got my like...

So I heard that Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) won't be back on FOX's Gotham season 2, not as a regular at least. This makes me SO.VERY.UPSET. Fans everywhere are having all sorts distraught. I was glad to see Pinkett Smith back on Television and she was killing it as Fish Mooney. Fish Mooney had the perfect amount of sass, evilness, and flesh piercing glares. She was a bad bitch in the best ways. She'd do whatever to show you how bad and serious she was too... even stab her own eye out! (who does that?!)

Pinkett Smith appeared on Live With Kelly and Michael, and while talking about how kick-ass and glorious her character is she also talked about the future on the show...

“I don’t think so, no. I signed for a year and the year is up,” Pinkett Smith said. “But there are some great things coming ahead on Gotham, believe you me. There’s a lot of good stuff coming.”

(insert crying and raging fit)

However on a semi-bright note she might be back in the future or at least for guest appearances I hope. Warner Bros. had the following to say...

“Fish Mooney’s storyline takes a lot of interesting twists and turns into the finale of season one of Gotham.” So make of that what you will."

I was dying for her to get out of this weird organ selling, abandoned island in the middle of nowhere storyline they have her and now she's just going to be gone soon...

I guess we'll see what's to come on FOX's Gotham... wonder who will replace Mooney? Thoughts?

Las Vegas Super Toy Con 2015 Cosplay.

Nubia Mejia 10:09:00 AM

It's simple, I love to cosplay.

Saturday there was a Cosplay contest going on at the Las Vegas Super Toy Con. Naturally, I wanted to enter but I didn't really have much time to prepare the type of costume I wanted to. I through together something quick and worked with what I had to create the beautiful, crazy, playful, hyper, quirky, insane, delightful Harley Quinn look below. My favorite lady from DC Comics may I add.

Putting the Harley Quinn cosplay together: The red and black corset I purchased at some random lingerie store in NY. The face paint is some left over face paint from Halloween and some regular makeup (red lipstick, eye shadow, mascara). The leggings were purchased at Hot Topic. The belt is my boyfriends work belt he wears everyday. For my hair, I couldn't find hair dye anywhere close by so I had to improvise! I grabbed red lipstick and smashed it in between a thick sheet of bounty paper and kept smearing it in my hair until it got as red as I wanted. For the black in my hair I used mainly black eye shadow and also smeared it on my hair with a sheet of bounty paper.

I thought for being such a super last minute cosplay costume it looked pretty cute. Next time hopefully I'll be ready and able to do something crazy.

As a prop I printed 2 photo of The Joker from the Batman Animated Series and cut out some hearts from construction paper. I then taped the photos and hearts to a thick cardboard and made a little sign out of it that said "My Boo, Mistah J!" It also had a little gun that said 'Bang!' on it.

Here's a few of the other cosplayers at the Las Vegas Super Toy Con.

Nubia Mejia 3:44:00 PM

Let the very vampy and sexy Michelle Pfeiffer as 'Catwoman' from Tim Burton's 1992 'Batman Returns' kick off your week.

Selina Kyle is a good kitty gone bad.

A lot of these photos portray how I feel inside most days... a mix between hot, feisty and evil.

NYCC

Throwback - Batgirl Cosplay At Comic Con.

Nubia Mejia 1:45:00 PM

I was taking a look back at this Batgirl cosplay I did back when I had my flaming red hair...

It was about 2 years ago I'd say at New York Comic Con. Definitely wasn't my best cosplay but I didn't really have much time to put anything great together. I strolled into Hot Topic and picked up a Batman corset and underwear. Then later on in the day I proceeded to go into Walgreens where they had a batman cape and mask set for 9.99. I figured it was better than nothing and I was dying to dress up.

Here you have it!

I guess I was channeling good ol' Barbara Gordon from the Batman animated series from 1992.

Man Crush Monday: Oswald Cobblepot (Penguin).

Nubia Mejia 11:56:00 AM

Oh Robin Lord Taylor, you were perfectly cast as the Penguin in Gotham. You make Monday nights more fun. You are the man I love to love and almost wish I can hate. This leaves me totally crushed.

What's not to love? You walk around with that devilishly, borderline insane looking "Im up to something" smile. You're a sharp dresses known to strut around with confidence with a sleek cacatua bird-esque hairstyle. You're presence is delightfully daunting (if that makes sense). You know EXACTLY what you do.

At the same time...

You are too smart for your own good. A conniving individual who will stop at nothing to conquer what you desire (Even if it means taking good ol Fish Mooney and many others). You gain peoples trust then crush them. You're totally creepy, and the worst kind of backstabber. Not to mention you kill with such ease. Making it look like a fun after school activity.

Yet....

I can't help but feel sympathy for you... Damn you're good. It's like, I see you do all these terrible things and I'm still always rooting for you... When I see you plead not to be hurt when you're about to be attacked by Falcone or Maroni's goons... My heart lets out a little weep.

You have me rooting for me bad guy which I usually don't!

I've stopped debating with myself on this issue as upset as it's made me, YOU WIN. I like you, What can I say? I have good faith you'll do what you must with your second chance at life. Determintation is definitely not lacking you little survivor you!
