Batman Day 2016: Celebrating the Dark Knight

September 17, 2016September 17, 2016 by CuteMonster Staff

“Na-Na Na-Na Na-Na Na-Na Na…BATMAN!!!” Yes, it’s that time of year again. Today marks a DC Comics decreed day of celebration for all things related to The Dark Knight. Our favorite Caped Crusader continues to capture the imagination of generations of fans. For a hero who deliberately shuns the spotlight, Batman remains possibly the most popular superhero ever created. Calm down Superman fans, the overpowered boy scout is pretty swell too. But alas, we digress. There’s plenty going on for Batman day and we thought we’d offer up a roundup.

October 13, 2015 by Vincent Daly

In recent years the New York Comic Con has been built around hype. What was once the playing field of comic book geeks became a mainstream event. The television and film industry hitched their collective wagons to the Comic Con phenomenon choosing to premiere big budget movie trailers and trotting out movie stars to meet their adoring fans. The media flocked to the events further escalating expectations and prompting ticket sales to Comic Cons, specifically in San Diego and New York City. For true fans, Comic Cons became lost in the excess. Yet despite it all, 2015 will be known as the year Cosplayers took back New York Comic Con.

More than ever, the world needs Supergirl

May 14, 2015 by Vincent Daly

For comic book fans, we live in an era of almost embarrassing riches. Super hero related movies and television shows dominate the entertainment industry worldwide. Indeed, modern technology has enabled special effects production companies to produce exceptionally realistic action sequences that would have been impossible in the recent past. Yet despite the visual advances, stories about female super heroes have been scarce. Even when female super heroes are part of team such as Black Widow in The Avengers, their roles are largely secondary. For kids watching super hero movies and television shows, the subtext conveys the message that women are not as relevant as their male counterparts. Which is why the announcement of CBS’s Supergirl television series debuting this fall bears such importance. More than ever, the world needs Supergirl.

Innovation and most importantly fun take top priority as toy manufacturers try to entice buyers and the press alike to fawn over their latest gizmo. For me, it’s an opportunity to be a kid again in the biggest toy store in the world.
