In-ear headphones for Superheroes & nerds alike

Posted in Headphones by Conner Flynn on October 5th, 2008

In-ear headphones for Superheroes & nerds alikeLook, we all know you’ve taken the Superhero thing way too far. Just the other day I saw you ride by on your modified Batman big-wheel and return hours later with your ass kicked. And that wasn’t the first time. It might be better to give your butler a break from tending your wounds and just chill. Listen to some music while you’re living out your fantasies through comic books.

And these are the perfect headphones. This way you can still feel like a hero without suffering the indignity of getting a wedgie from the Joker. These headphones are from the Greenhouse electronics company and clearly inspired by our favorite bat and spider. In fact you can choose from 13 different models, all with a frequency response of 20Hz-20,000Hz, an impedance of 16 ohms, and a maximum input of 3 megawatts.

Rock the Bat Cave with the Batman Boombox

Posted in music by Conner Flynn on September 18th, 2008

Rock the Bat Cave with the Batman BoomboxHow does Robin crank up the tunes while Batman is out cleaning up the streets of Gotham? With Batman’s boombox of course. While it’s not shaped like a bat-wing or anything, it has a strange shape that resembles a…bat-something or other, with colors that go more with the comic books then the movies.

Features include such things as a tuner with LCD display, the ability to play CDs, CD-R and CDRW format, dynamic bass boost, line-in for portable MP3, player support, and top load media. It’s not hard to imagine Batman entertaining Catwoman one night and as he goes to put on some soft romantic tunes, the sound of Robin’s hardcore heavy metal deafens him as it sends bats flying everywhere. After a moment he switches CD’s, but sadly Catwoman’s purr is now gone. Such is the sad and lonely life of the Batman. Sigh.

Posted in Clocks by Conner Flynn on August 25th, 2008

Batman alarm clock radio with Bat-SignalWe’ve covered our share of Batman related gadgets, some good, some bad. But lately gadget makers seem to have rediscovered a long lost love for the Bat-Signal. They’re putting it on everything as if it were just invented in the latest movies. This strange looking clock is no exception.

This Dark Knight themed alarm clock radio features an AM/FM tuner and will also let you project the Bat-signal on your wall or ceiling. Some other features: 12/24 Hour Mode Display Time, Alarm function with 8 different melodies and tones, Adjustable Snooze Timer, AM/FM Radio Band, 180-degree rotation arm for front or back projection, AC Adaptor (included) or 4 AAA Batteries (not included). For $19.99 it’s a bargain for the kid in you.

Return of the USB-powered Batman spotlight

Posted in Uncategorized by Conner Flynn on August 13th, 2008

Return of the USB-powered Batman spotlight
We first told you about the Bat Signal spotlight back in March. But back then no one had seen the latest Dark Knight flick yet. So it’s only natural that we would see another version now that the movie has come out. In this DIY version, they’ve updated the Bat Symbol itself to the one from the new films.

See, that’s why Batman never showed up when you called. You were using an outdated bat symbol. This one looks much cooler. You’ll need a couple of old bottle caps, tinfoil(Some of you already have hats you can tear a piece off of), cheap USB light, small piece of clear plastic, cardboard, soldiering iron, hot glue gun, paint, and some time. Then you’ll be annoying your cubicle mates in no time.

Dark Knight Xbox 360 on eBay, will cost you
This rare Dark Knight Xbox 360 was spotted at the Microsoft game exhibition in Taiwan. Every self respecting nerd and his comic book dealer want to get their hands on it, but that just isn’t going to happen. Turns out there were only 110 made and it looks like the only way to get one is on ebay, where they seem to be going for $800 and up. It only comes with a 20GB hard drive and the same accessories as the $300 bundle.You better go find a money tree and shake it real hard. There’s always this thing.

Batman Learning laptop, for when you mate with Catwoman

Batman Learning laptop, for when you mate with Catwoman
Here’s an interesting laptop to get your child if you’ve recently spawned a next generation hero by getting it on with Catwoman or some other costumed freak. Or if your kid is named Robin and you dress him up in a tiny costume maybe. Oregon Scientific is making sure they get a slice of the Dark Knight pie, by offering your children this laptop sprouting bat wings. When closed it looks like Batman’s chest. Or as your child would say, “It look like dada” just before you leave for the next Comic Book convention.

C’mon people, even the kids in Gotham don’t sport Bat laptops. It’s known as the Batman Powerwing Laptop and runs on 3 x AA batteries for $89.99. If any of you adult geeks without kids get this thing for yourself, I suggest you don’t brag about it. For the rest of you, make sure that you let your kids play with it too.

Xbox 360 Dark Knight edition
And Dark Knight mania continues. If we aren’t spotting a DIY Tumbler or learning how Batman spends his nights, we are coming across some other Batman inspired Doodad.

In this case we’ve got an Xbox 360 under protective plastic with the Dark knight logo branded onto it. This is apparently a “limited edition” or one of a kind Dark Knight Xbox 360 shown off by Microsoft over in Taiwan. That’s about all we know. Zip,zero,zilch, nada. One can only drool and imagine batwing controllers.

DIY Tumbler built by one man, not Batman

DIY Tumbler built by one man, not Batman
Have a look at this thing. Can you believe it was built entirely by one man who is not Bruce Wayne? This is Bob Dullam’s replica of Batman’s Tumbler. It’s clearly the work of a mad genius. It looks awesome yes, but he didn’t skimp on the specs. It’s got the afterburner, the huge double-barrel wheels, and the body has all of the stealth angles.

As reference, he used only any and all images that would be available to you or me and the movies. And he did it in his garage. The neighbors must have thought he had gone a bit batty. And yes, he owns his own Bat suit as well.

The Beer utility belt: For a different kind of hero

The Beer utility belt: For a different kind of hero
It aint easy defending Gotham. And if super heroes existed in the real world, it would lead to some serious drinking. I mean these guys you’re doing battle with are demented. At the end of the night you just want a brew or four. This thing will hold a six-pack.

So after you park the batmobile and tuck Robin in, swap one utility belt for another and just forget your troubles. Alfred will wipe the drool from your chin and put you to bed after you pass out.

The Dark Knight Bat-Signal projector key ring

Dark Knight Bat-Signal projector key ringSo you’re tired of being the Dark Nerd and want to try your hand at being the Dark Knight. You’ve got your replica bat armor and you’re using an old beat up tool shed for a batcave. But you need a key ring for the keys to the Batmobile. You know, that old dodge dart you painted black.

Well, just hang your keys on this. It will project the Bat-Signal whenever you need it. Only $16. You probably should get a new hobby as I’m pretty sure your city doesn’t need a new crime fighter. You’ll end up locked up in Arkham Asylum and eventually become some other dudes villain.

Batman:The Dark Knight Joker Poker Set
Ever since the movie opened on Friday it’s been Dark Knight mania. As we all know, the Joker is the real star of the movie. That’s probably why he has his own Poker set now. No doubt inspired by his real Poker set, which he uses every Friday night when it’s Poker night in Gotham for he and his cohorts.

You get 54 prop replica Joker cards, a second 54 card deck defaced by the Joker, Joker-themed 100 piece chip set and black aluminum carrying case. Just don’t go so far as to paint your face like the Joker or they may haul you off to Arkham Asylum. It will cost you $84 and is available for pre-order.

Paper-craft Batmobile Tumbler from The Dark Knight
The new Batman movie came out yesterday. I know many of you will be rushing to the theaters today. While I haven’t been able to see it yet and have a two hour nerdgasm, at least I can play with a paper version of the Dark Knight’s car. I’m talking papercraft! The design was created by paper model expert Claudio. With hundreds of individual pieces, this thing will keep you busy longer then the movie will.

Batpod photographed: The Dark Knight’s bike

Batpod photographed: The Dark Knight’s bike
The Batpod is Batman’s motorcycle in the latest movie and it’s a head turner. But is it cool? While sweet looking in it’s way, it’s not exactly leaving us awestruck. It’s black, fat, and ready to go medieval on the Joker, but how does it turn with those thick tires?

The steering seems to be based on the thinner tire at the back. One thing is certain, Batman’s cape is going to get caught in those wheels. You can see more of the Batpod when Dark Knight is released on the 17th of July. I’m sure it will look more badass in the film.
