Happy Valentines Day with the Batman!

Every holiday we always try to spot some new Batman merchandise that is being offered. Usually this stuff is sold at many different locations and it's sometimes hard to find or sells out pretty quick. Here are a few examples for Valentine's Day 2013.

The 1st pic is a fun item I spotted at Wal-Mart the other night. This is a new concept I have not seen before. Some company created a special "Batman Mailbox" you can put on your desk to receive small Valentine Cards. This set also comes with 16 valentines to give away. Also this year, in their "Holiday Area" of the store, they still have the regular boxes of Valentine Greeting Cards for school kids ( not pictured here ) and they have both the "Comic Book" version of BATMAN and "The Dark Knight Rises" movie version too. The DKR ones also come with 16 pencils that have cool graphics.

Next up is this heart-shaped box of DC Comics' Valentine Bubble Gum. They made 2 different ones, Batman and Superman. Now, this is a random photo I found on the web and have not confirmed their exact location yet, but I do know that they sell for only 99 cents so that's cool. Some people have told me they have seen these at Target and others said Wal-Mart.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYBODY!!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Furude Rika

First Found on: Otaku King on Facebook Source: Ruto from World Cosplay

Revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine, Furude Rika plays the role of a miko in the annual Watanagashi Festival. She has been the head of the Furude house since the death of her parents, but barely attends town meetings because she is so young. Nevertheless, Rika sometimes expresses a type of wisdom beyond her years, and is quite fond of sake.

Beautiful cosplay by Japanese cosplayer, Ruto! She looks so cute and innocent, just like Rika! Thanks to Kyle for sending this in!

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Marketing Campaign Invites You to Join Up with Cobra

The release of the G.I. Joe sequel, G.I. Joe Retaliation is just under two months away. With the big delay that the movie saw last year, they're looking to step up their marketing and perhaps bring back some of those who've lost interest since then. So to do that, they've got a new viral marketing campaign put together. Check out the video below to see how you can join up with Cobra and prove your loyalty to the bad guys.

If you head over to the Cobra Special Forces website, you'll find some downloadable content as well as a listing of events that are apparently pro-Cobra. Most of these are things like sporting events and concerts and, to tell the truth, I've no idea what attending one will get you. Maybe a free ticket? Probably not...

So join the cause of evil! Or just wait around until March 29^th and watch the film instead.

Thanks to /film for the heads-up.

Complete Pilot Episode For J.J. Abrams New Show ‘Revolution’

Following in the successful footsteps of the producers of New Girl on FOX, J.J. Abrams has put the first episode of his new series Revolution out on the Internet for fans to check out.

This is one of the more successful maneuvers that Hollywood marketing has come up with in the last few years. If the show’s first episode is good, the word of mouth generated by the Internet can drive the regular television viewer counts much higher than the standard premiere pattern and lock viewers in for the season.

This gives the show a chance to build a viewer base before the show airs on television. A show like Revolution needs that extra little push to get viewers in “on the ground floor” of the show. That will generate advertiser dollars. Just think about how many shows you have recommended or had recommended to you, that you had to scramble to catch up to the current episode.

This NerdBastard has only watched the first segment of the show so I don’t have a fully considered opinion on the show yet, but I’m going to watch the entire thing after posting this for you other NerdBastards out there in Internet land.

Don’t get caught watching this at work, but make sure to come back and watch it later this afternoon. After that, put your thoughts on the show in the comments section below. NerdBastards is interested in your take on showing the pilot early on the Internet, and how good you think the show was.

Beaker; The Zombie Hunter. He “Meeps” in the face of death. [Geeks are Sexy]

Yep, so that’s what the inside of a Mogwai looks like. Gross. I hate innards. [io9]

I’ve seen plenty of Superman tattoos. Most are featured on ego-centric body builders, or Jersey Shore d-bags. This one, however, displays 100% nerdom. [Cheezburger]

Christian Bale flew the family of four-year old leukemia Jayden Barber out to LA for lunch at Disney Land, so he could meet Batman. This is so sappy. Imma cry my eyes out. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Minimalist Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle LEGOs. I admire the talent it takes in making something look so recognizable in the most minimalist way possible, but I thought the turtles were green fire-hydrants. [GeekoSystem]

Russian Millitary Intelligence Agency's insignia has Batman's logo right smack in the middle. [Reddit]

Nerd Bastards’ Bountiful Bagginses Birthday Bash Bonanza

It’s time to slip off your shoes, put your hairy feet up, light your pipe if you’ve a mind and preference to, and raise your flagon to celebrate the birthday of two of the Shire’s most famous Hobbits; Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. You remember those Bagginses, they actually like to wander around outside the Shire among all those Elves, Humans, Orcs, Goblins, Giants, Wizards and what not. I know . . . I know, utter nonsense. What is there that any self respecting Hobbit could possibly need out there? Nothing I say, but when they came back they did tell a good tale, didn’t they?

Saturday, September 22nd marks the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins (Bilbo is reported to have been born in the year of 2890 and Frodo in the year of 2968 during the Third Age, 1290 and 1368 respectively in Shire-Reckoning.). As most of you already know, Hobbits enjoy a good party and there’s no better party than the birthday party of a Bagginses. Why, there might even be wizardly fireworks!

We’ve collected a gallery of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobitt themed birthday cakes to celebrate the occasion. There are home made cakes and very professional cakes to admire in the collection below. I’m sure any self respecting Hobbit would enjoy a large slice of any of those cakes during breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper. Hmm, I think I’ll go downstairs and see if there is any cake left in the refrigerator.

Which cake would you want a slice from? Let us know in the comments section below.

Amazing Make-Up Artist Makes Women Disappear Into The Streets Of London

Body painting is a very specific skill. Not only do you have to know the basics of being an artist – colors, lights, shadows, etc. – but you have to be able to make all of it work on a living canvas. Make-up artist Carolyn Roper does just that, and she does it with such talent that you can’t help but be impressed.

The UK channel Really took note of her skills and hired her to help promote their series Covert Affairs. They commissioned Roper to camouflage women in body paint to blend into London’s streets. She made models disappear into a vegetable stand, a bus, and a street. The results are almost unbelievable.

Have your mind blown by more images and check out a behind the scenes video after the break.

Spartan Ops Promotional Images released by 343
Here's a whole bunch of Halo 4 Spartan Operations that I found at the Xbox site in the Press Kit section. Elites go boom and Grunts go flying in them. The images show off in really good detail some of the customisation you'll be able to apply to your solider and some of the kit they'll be using such as the rocket launcher, warthogs and ghosts.

Sexy Cosplay of the Week: Alexia-Muller

Time for this weeks Sexy Cosplay of the Week where we travel to the Ukraine and come back with Alexia-Muller.

After seeing several of her favorite characters portrayed in some very bad cosplay Alexia-Muller took it upon herself to dive into cosplay and right a few wrongs. Alexia-Muller has pulled off some odd choices for cosplay, like a female Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and a human take on Hello Kitty, but she’s pulled them off so well. Honestly, anyone who can rock Dead or Alive‘s Ayane or Panty & Stocking‘s Stocking as good as Alexia-Muller deserves some kind of award in their home.

Check out more of Alexia-Muller on World Cosplay, Deviant Art, Cosplay Cure or Cosplay.com for more.
