Lying In The Gutters – 17th May 2010

Lying In The Gutters – 17th May 2010

Busy week at Lying In The Gutters. I mean it's not all been porn. Just some of it. Remarkable really – considering all that we've seen and not even a whiff of nudity. Okay, so what have people been reading on Bleeding Cool?

Top Ten Most Popular Posts Of The Week

1.The Second Batman XXX Trailer

This was huge. A very early link to a new trailer to this much-anticipated production featured Batman performing the Batusi. And everyone loved it – especially the folks at IGN!

2. Batman XXX A Porn Parody – The Official Trailer

Last week's number one story is still this week's second most popular. Never had this happen before. Will it still be around next week?

3. Ryan Mullenix And That Article

That's right, give an article a controversial headline even on a Sunday and the hits flood in. It overstretched, it missed out important exceptions, but in a similar fashion to Women In Refrigerators there was a valid point to be made. That someone seems to have taken their eye of the ball of unfortunate consequence.

4. Previews Reveals "Fallen" Full Title And Cover

Not exactly how intentional this Diamond Previews reveal was. But once it's jumped out, you can never put the frog back in the box. And of course, who knew just how controversial this comic book would be…

5. Axel Braun Of Batman XXX Talks To Bleeding Cool

Oh yes, did you think we'd forgotten this little number? The Batman XXX director gets his geek out for the lads.

6. Frank Quitely's Cover To Batman And Robin #13

That was it. Nothing more or less. Well, it was rather lovely I suppose.

7. Swipe File: Spawn and… Spawn?

Erik Larsen joined the comments, elevating this Swipe File up a few notches in terms of readers. One of the most popular swipe files Bleeding Cool has run.

8. Rush Limbaugh Comes Face To Face With A Caller Who Has Read His Bluewater Comic Book

By-the-by, the incorrect cat referred to in this article is actually a cat belonging to the author who inserts himself in the narrative…

9. Swipe File: Fall Of The Dark Avengers

This one didn't do too badly either. And there's this Dark Tower cover thing that seems to want in on the swipey action.

10. Nathan Fillion As Hank Pym, Ant Man

Thought this might have had some more play somehow. Anyway, the ant is his penis. Or something.

Bubbling Under

Buck Danny's new creators, Sentry's cheating with Rogue, speculators enjoy the Fifty Dollar Club, we heard Judge Dredd Movie promo pieces, J.T.Krul writing Teen Titans, Green Lantern racial politics, Marvel's new exclusives, Neal Adams Batman in colour, Wednesday Comics Hardcover in some shops early, thinking about Doctor Who, spotting White Lantern error rings, Warner legal threats, Talking Turf and celebrity public cosplay.

Five Things You Should Have Read

1. Michael Jackson Talking About Buying Marvel From Beyond The Grave

2. Mark Millar Goes On BBC Telly To Talk About Art And Culture

3. The Lichtenstein Lawyers Flip-Flop In Mass Outbrek Of Reason

4. Tony Lee now a New York Times bestselling author – and knocking Andy Diggle off the top spot.
