You Do Not Want to @#$% with the Bat Man of Shanghai
There doesn’t appear to be a lot of nerd news happening today (or last night), so why not watch the entirety of “The Bat Man of Shanghai” cartoon from the DC Nation block? It’s spectacularly animated and includes Batman actually turning into a swarm of bats, which makes zero sense but is completely awesome. Hey, DC, if you want to make yet another esoteric Batman toyline, why not this? I’d buy Bats and Catwoman in a heartbeat. Much thanks to Mr. Penola for the tip.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
