Mrs. Packard could simply walk into Mordor. And put out her cigarette on Sauron’s eye.
I loved this character. All the characters in this movie. :D

These pop-ups, by Mengyu Chen, are essentially experiments for a comic book she is working on. I think they are pretty amazing all on their own.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 05.07.12
Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

This is so gorgeous.
I love how the hoop cage skirt blossoms from the sepal-esque scalloped edging of her corset. She’s totally a deadly flower in bloom.
Denis Medri Gives Batman and Friends a Rockabilly Makeover [link]
Artist Denis Medri created a series of 1950s-inspired redesigns of characters from Gotham City, transforming Batman’s friends and foes into a stylish cast of rockabilly vigilantes, varsity team sidekicks, and sinister Teddy Boys. From Bruce Wayne’s Batmobile-styled hot rod to Catwoman’s Bettie Page-invoking getup, Gotham has never looked this darn peachy keen.
Pulling inspiration from the ’50s and pop culture, Medri’s rendition of Gotham City is an absolute delight that successfully fuses nostalgia with the Bat-Universe. Barbara Gordon’s redesign pulls directly from Grease, translating the dynamic between Barbara and her alter-ego as Batgirl by borrowing fashion cues from Sandy’s wardrobe. Likewise, Medri’s interpretation of Two-Face resembles a split personality between Happy Days’ Richie Cunningham and an evil Fonzie, while The Riddler greatly resembles 3-D from Back to the Future.
Although most of these redesigns contain a degree of costuming elements with the masks and cowls, Medri’s illustrations serve as fine examples of how to adapt the signature styling elements of the Bat-family and Arkham’s finest into casual yet unique cosplay options, if not wearable retro street fashion. The Nightwing varsity jacket serves as a great styling update to the classic superhero emblem t-shirt, with letterman jackets being on-trend over the past couple of years. The restyling of Harley Quinn and Two-Face are a fine example of the striking effects that simple color-blocking, layers, and pattern mixing can have when coordinating an ensemble.

Split Leg Skinny Jeans, by Tripp NYC.
Regardless of the fact that I’m not the biggest fan of Harley’s digs in Arkham City (and that I seldom wear pants), these split skinnies from Tripp NYC are actually quite cute. You can easily modify them to replicate the Arkham City look, or you could style them into your own classic Harley-inspired ensemble.
Available at Trash and Vaudeville, Karmaloop, Hot Topic, & Torrid.
Velvet Batman dress, by All That Jazz [circa 1992]
[currently on sale at Lynn’s Rags]Despite the fact that this dress is approximately 20 years old, it features some of this year’s hottest (or rather, recycled) trends: velvet, bodycon, mesh cutouts, and The Dark Knight. This dress was originally part of the All That Jazz x Batman Returns retail collection that was released in conjunction with the film in 1992.
Conclusively, Batman never goes out of style.

The Avengers, by kaciart.
All of these Avengers-inspired ensembles hit the right notes, perfectly capturing the key elements of each hero’s look, such as the minimal designs in The Hulk and Hawkeye’s outfits and the structured, tailored digs on Iron Man.
In short, kaciart is definitely delivering some straight-up Avengers REALNESS in here.
Manicure Monday: custom Robin nail set & Young Justice nail set, by Jihye Lee.
I think that I may need to adorn my nails with tiny domino masks in the near future.
