The creative team behind Batgirl is changing up and the character is getting a new costume to match. Gail Simone is moving on with Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher taking over writing while Babs Tarr takes on drawing. Batgirl’s look gets a nice update with some chunky yellow boots and a slick leather (not spandex!) jacket that cosplayers will likely jump all over.

The first issue with the new look (#35) hits shelves this October. Check out an interview with the team on MTV.

Dear Hollywood, please find time between Spider-Man 4 and Scary Movie 37 to make another decent movie with dinosaurs.

Batman makes everything better, and there’s a Tumblr for everything so it’s only fitting that It’s Better With Batman exists. The site inserts various versions of Batman into unrelated popular films to prove that his presence adds cool points to anything. The results are amusing and put the vigilante hero into settings like Driving Miss Daisy, The Lion King, The Matrix, and more.

See more examples of Batman improving everything after the break.

This is still my favorite comic ever

As much as I love to wear graphic geeky t-shirts, they’re not appropriate for every setting. The continuing surge in geek chic apparel allows us to get away with embracing our nerdy passions in more places though, and this Wonder Woman t-shirt is a great example. If you paired it with a blazer, it’s suitable as office attire; co-workers would think it was just a neat striped design. But you’ll know that you’re supporting an awesome superhero, and sometimes that’s just the extra push you need to get through the day.

I can barely make a hula hoop rotate, but Rachael Lust is a hula hoop Jedi Master. She does all kinds of insane movies with a hula hoop, and I choose to believe the Iron Man leggings she’s wearing are responsible for her success. Maybe. She wears them in a recent video that’s basically a supercut of awesome tricks, and it is very impressive to watch.

Watch all the hula hooping action after the break.

Back in June, GAS brought you the trailer for an award-winning independent film called The Posthuman Project.

Now, we bring you the review!

Emmy-award winning director Kyle Roberts dedicated three years of his life to bringing The Posthuman Project (TPHP) to life. Based entirely in Oklahoma, the movie takes inspiration from John Hughes and the X-Men — and in my opinion, Chronicle and Heroes — to “focus on the roots of the teenage experience, capturing that careful mix of invulnerability and powerlessness that only youth can conjure.”

As a low-budget, full-length independent feature, the movie surprised me. Now, the superpower special effects were not very good, but at least they looked consistent every time. I will admit that I was less forgiving with the blatant use of green screen. I wasn’t expecting “Hollywood-quality” effects, but I found the obvious green screen usage much more distracting than the superpower effects.

The movie follows a common formula: A group of stereotypical teenagers battling tried and true personal demons, like broken or abusive homes, health handicaps, and bullying. There’s the former jock suffering from injury; his nerdy younger brother tormented by school bullies; both boys believing their father abandoned them; the tomboy, punk rock girl living with an abusive stepfather; the pretty cheerleader with no backstory whatsoever other than that she and the former jock used to date; and the (one) black friend who just wants to have fun and who’s life doesn’t have much direction as graduation approaches. Through a creepy, lost uncle and a series of convoluted fake scientific events, the kids each attain superhuman abilities worthy of their personal, deep-down desires: The ability to self-heal, the ability to teleport, the ability to create fire, the ability to fly, and the ability of brute strength.

The script is heavy-handed with many lines about “all you need is family” and “true strength comes from within,” but honestly, despite the unoriginality of much of it, I found the movie perfect for those for those of the current Disney Channel or ABC Family generation. (One caveat: the opening scene is fairly graphic, as a bullet is shown striking through the main protagonist’s head in slo-mo.) With the exception of describing the mountain where most of the action takes place as a “big ass mountain,” there is absolutely no swearing — and a cute running gag that attests to that fact. While most of the actors are studying theater at various Oklahoma schools, the acting also had a Disney Channel-quality…and that’s ok. The movie is meant for kids and their families and the relentless positive messages are important, especially when low self-esteem and bullying issues are running rampant. Personally, TPHP shows promise as a sci-fi-lite series for tweens and teens, sort of in the vein of Kyle XY, The Wizards of Waverly Place or even Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. I must also bring up again the similarities to Heroes.

Don’t get me wrong: The movie has it’s moments. It’s consistently directed and edited. It’s divided into “chapters,” — again, à la NBC’s Heroes – and in between each chapter are animated comic book panels, so the movie is in on its own joke and influences. The awkward flirting between a few of the characters reminded me of my high school years.  There’s also a scene where all five kids are in the car together and a sing-along eventually ensues, and for some reason, despite the green screen usage, I found the scene touching. Actually, the movie’s soundtrack, in general, I found totally killer.

All that being said, as a 29-year-old with no children, I did not particularly care for the film and would not have watched it otherwise. However, as I sat watching it for 90 minutes, I could see other parents having very important discussions about their own kids’ fears and struggles. I think that, for parents — especially those who love sci-fi or whose kids do — it’s an important movie to watch and discuss with them.

TPHP tries to accomplish a lot — both plot-wise and visually – in 90 minutes, and it’s no surprise the film won “Best Oklahoma Film” at the 2014 deadCENTER Film Festival and has garnered a slot at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con (Saturday, July 26th, at 11:35am at the San Diego Marriott Marquis and Marina.)

Edit: The movie also won “Best Editing” at Florida Supercon this weekend as well as a special laurel for being one of only two films out of about 100 to get a standing room only.

Darth Vader is a very expressive person! Not that you can really tell, what with the helmet and all… But regardless of that, this officially licensed Star Wars t-shirt features a wide variety of Vader’s expressions, ranging from angry to happy to sad. Wear this shirt, and you may find yourself being thanked for providing such insight into the Sith Lord.

The perfect pet bed for Star Trek fans who have a cat or a dog!

From Thinkgeek:

You are the only four-legged Captain in Starfleet. Your Lieutenants gather around you, desperately vying for your approval and catering to your every whim. You send Landing Parties to distant worlds and they return with strange new foods. (Treats?!) You accompany Landing Parties to strange new worlds and return after having marked all the outlying territory as Starfleet’s. Then there was that science officer called “The Vet.” Gosh, wasn’t he annoying? Good thing you got him transferred to a distant star system. You know, all of this commanding is a tiring job! Maybe you should take a little nap in your comfy Captain’s Chair. Nobody will notice, and if they do? They won’t dare say anything. You’re the captain, after all!
