Comics - there's nothing else in the modern age like it, the Superheroes have been with us on paper, radio, TV, Toys, Movies, Video games, LEGO.. it's a way of life.
Batman will always have a special place in my heart, even if his heart is broken...
This was another one of my @rebellug Vignweek 24 hr build. I've always wanted to do a Crime Alley build to evoke that emotion in a single scene... perfect for a vignette, or a comic book cover!
Another in my Amazing Builder Series (ABS) homage builds - Many years ago I saw Dave Kaleta's amazing Crime Alley build at Brickworld Chicago and always wanted to tackle something similiar.

Superman debuted in Action Comics #1 of June, 1938, so he turns 70 this year. This is a homage to the cover of that issue. Superman's torso is the only customized piece here.
The biggest headache with this wasn't finding all the green pieces to build the Studebaker (although that was quite a pain). Nor was it finding the right facial expressions on the minifigs. It's the fact that minifigs can't raise their hands above their heads, so Superman doesn't quite have the classic pose. Sigh.
I dream of having either of these dolls for my Poison Ivy doll...
Are there any green playline dolls I could use?

Well, I got some great lewt from my birthday, and I got the Deadpool's Chopper set as a gift from a good friend named Grant. Overall, I was pleased with the figs, but Deadpool just needed work.
I gave him some BrickArms, a couple rubber bands, and voila!
Deadpool done right.
I finally figured out my new camera, a Fujifilm FinePix is SO much better than an HP. :P Aaron, I tagged you to say that I also got Batman and remade him like I did Deadpool. :3

I cannot take credit for all the minifigs you see in this picture. But I will tell you who I obtained them from. Now, starting left to the right.
1) The standard Nightwing LEGO minifig from the Arkham Asylum set from several years ago. Nothing special there, besides it's Nightwing.
2) My custom LEGO Nightwing shown previously on my Flickr page here.
3) This custom red Nightwing based on his new outfit from the New 52 DC Comics universe comes from Customize/Accessorize/your/minifig eBay store which is maintained by poppunkmunky. Poppunkmunky does some really great work, and I wish I knew how he does it. Somehow he actually prints the images on to the heads and torsos, just like LEGO does. And he does back prints as well. This red Nightwing is actually the 3rd minifig I have purchased from poppunkmunky. I also purchased Gambit and Dark Phoenix. Most of his/her work matches your standard LEGO figs, others are clearly higher quality images that are shrunk to fit the minifig torso. The printing quality is what really set these a part. It's very hard to notice that they are a custom. The give away to me is that the prints are a bit shinier than standard figs. I did have to paint the eyes in white though. They were left flesh tone.
They are a bit pricy though. Usually the store has a one figure for auction and one for Buy It Now, which usually average $25. I ended up winning this NIghtwing in auction for $25 and I don't regret it at all.
4) I will call this one the Arkham City Nightwing minifig. It comes from REGAL CUSTOMS eBay store, maintained by onlinesailin. This figure is awesome. I am not sure you can tell, but onlinesailin actually printed the blue stripe down his arms, though it doesn't go down to his hands. I love it. The printing job uses a different technique than the poppunkmunky. It's like the lines are embossed on to the minifig, giving it some texture. But the level of detail is amazing. It's printed on all four sides. My only complaint is that the hair is painted black. It was originally that light brown hair. Based on the shine and gloss, i thought it was stock, but when I touched it, it was noticeably tacky, which gave it away. Still, I am not complaining. I think this one may be my favorite.
He didn't come cheap though. I paid $37 for him, not including shipping. Most of the really custom figs I'd say are a bit more expensive than poppunkmunky's store. This is the only one I own from onlinesailin though. I think I may need to purchase some more before i can really determine who reigns supreme.
Here are the links to the two stores I mentioned. I have to get these guys' names out there cause their work is astonishing and you shouldn't have to be searching for them so hard.

I run. Faster than I ever have in my life.
I run to escape.
We run to escape.
My wife, daughter and I.
Mars was once such a beautiful planet. It thrived on it's wealth, it's rich culture, it's civilisation.
But alas, those days could not be any further behind us.
In short, this planet is crumbling.
No.
Not the planet. That would imply nature was to blame for our problems.
I travelled to Earth once, a long time ago.
I travelled to warn the Earth of our rouge President.
Our rouge President who was assisted in his heinous acts by my brother.
My own flesh and blood.
We grew up together. Played together.
And know we could not be any further apart.
Our ruler and my brother came to Earth to destroy it.
And I stopped them.
But it did not come without a price.
I returned to Mars with my brother and no President.
The President who was slain at the hands of a human.
Arrival to Mars without it's ruler was the first step to our planet crumbling.
Mars descended into anarchy.
Riots at the new Presidential Elections caused the deaths of hundreds.
Uprisings in the Southern Colonies killed thousands.
And now, the Great Plague is killing millions.
And that is why we run.
Me.
My family.
Mars.
The Plague targets our brain's Telepathic lobe,
And destroys it.
Burns it.
And with that, we die.
We cannot contain this threat.
A threat that travels into one's brain and destroys from the inside out will never be contained.
So we run.
We try to get out of the city, away from the pathogen's path.
After everything that has happened, though, I feel the most sorrowful. Because this Plague was not created by a foolish scientist in an unfortunate accident.
It was created by my brother.
Most deliberately.
We run across the rocky outskirts of Mars to escape this threat.
"J'onn! J'onn!"
It is my wife.
"Stop! J'onn! STOP!"
I do not stop. I know they are behind me, but I know the plague is too.
So I keep running.
But her cries are now screeches.
And I stop.
And turn.
"J'onn, it's K'hym! What's wrong with her?"
I run over to my daughter and go cold.
She is on the rocky floor of the outskirts. Her eyes white and her mouth open.
"No..."
"J'onn? J'onn...no. Oh please, no..."
I know what's happened.
The Plague is here.
My tears run cold as I look at my wife's eyes.
"J'onn? What is it? Why are you staring like that? J'onn?"
The look in her eyes is white like my daughters.
She is confused, and innocent.
"Oh...oh no."
"I'm sorry..."
I hang my head and let my cold tears run down my cheeks and onto my neck.
She knows the plague has reached us. And that our daughter is dying.
And that she is dying.
I cannot take it anymore.
So I run.
I abandon my family and run.
As I turn my back, my wife shouts out, and my daughter erupts into flames.
I keep running.
As I cry even more, my head starts buzzing.
Now completely alone in the wilderness of my planet, I accept my fate.
My head heats up.
My vision blurs.
And I wait to die. I wait for the plague to finally reach my telepathic lobe.
The buzzing intensifies.
And then...
White.
...
...
...
...
-GASP-
...
...
...
No pain.
I feel no pain.
But...I am, alive.
*BEEP BEEP*
*BEEP BEEP*
"Oh...oh my."
I open my eyes and reach out.
But an invisible force holds me back.
No, not a force...a wall.
Glass.
A cylinder.
I am not on Mars anymore.
...
...
A voice pipes up out of the uncertain darkness.
"My name is doctor Saul Erdel. And I believe I have just made contact with extra-terrestrial life."
He presses a button at his desk. A white mist fills the cylinder and my lungs, and I black out.

So, this is my MM app for the DC Comics Stories group. Oh, and Stubbs, I hope you don't mind that I referred to your Kanjar Ro arc, but I kinda wanted this to fit into the existing continuity.
