My So-Called Super Life
Did you know superheroes were once pre-teens just like you and us? That means they had diaries just like you and us, but that doesn't necessarily mean they went through the same puberty woes as you and us.

Putative Green Arrow Pilot Gets Putative Black Canary
By Susana Polo
Alright, I'll admit it: we haven't done a post about the CW ordering a Green Arrow pilot. Why? Because this is the fourth time the CW's name has been connected to a proposed TV series based on a DC Comics character in the past year, and we still haven't seen anything concrete out of any of them. First, the CW greenlit a pilot based on Raven, the Teen Titans character, and has done nothing since. Then, the CW turned down the (by all accounts terrible) pilot for Wonder Woman. A few months later, a Deadman show, written and produced by the creator of Supernatural, made a few headlines, and then disappeared.

Stilt Bats and Pumm-Ra: Unseen Bizarre Concept Art for Thundercats
By Susana Polo
If you thought that Thundercats already contained enough weird human-animal hybrids, you should see the stuff that didn't make it past the concept stage. I'm not sure what capacity Crab-Man would have served in the show, but I'm already imagining a dopey laugh for him for when I tickle his feet.

6 Made Up Nerd Words That Made it to Common Usage and 8 That Should
Allow us to explain. Let me let you in on a little secret: writers like words. We like them so much. And so where you might wrinkle your nose and wonder why on earth someone might used the word "pulchritudinous" instead of "pretty," we're sitting at our desks and cackling with delight.We got to use "pulchritudinous" today. And it alliterated.
But as a geek or nerd, you get introduced to new words all the time! Science fiction and fantasy are practically in the business; not just of creating new place names, which is a given; but also of making new nouns in general, new verbs, and new adjectives. And while some of those concepts might not be particularly useful outside of their fictional setting, others have, over time, been accepted wholly by the English of reality. With some of these, we've forgotten that they were ever words in fiction to begin with.
And so we present six made up words that have since become inextricable from their meaning outside of their fictional origin (runners up include the very mimsy word "vorpal"), and, because we love words, eight words that we would like to say all the time and not get weird looks for (runners up include twip, shwey, slag, and every other silly, silly curse word from Batman Beyond).... read more.
