Defendor: Fight Back!

Defendor is a little known movie I had the pleasure of viewing starring Woody Harrelson. Much like Kick-ass, Defendor is about a "superhero" in the real world. Woody plays slow-witted Arthur by day and Defendor by night. Armed with marbles, wasps, and his trusty trench club, he stalks the night, searching for his nemesis: Captain Industry.
The story is a bit more realistic than Kick-ass. There are no unbelievably skilled ex-cops or assassin-like 11 year olds, just a man with no real grasp on reality. Arthur thinks he's a superhero, even going as far as thinking he's bulletproof (you'll have to watch it to understand). He doesn't inspire other people to take on the guise of a vigilante, though he does get recognized in the papers and talked about on the radio. Like a true hero, he helps any one in trouble, from the prostitute to drug addicted thugs.
It's a great movie with great acting! Woody plays the hero perfectly! I would definitely recommend this movie. It's a great blend of humor, action, and a twinge of melancholy.

The Brave and The Bold: new heroclix set

The new set for Heroclix came out a few days ago: The Brave and The Bold! This DC set revolves around the current DC event: Blackest Night. Duo figures are in high gear here, making up 14 of the 59 figures. This is also the first set to introduce Alter Egos. Enter the game as bumbling Clark Kent and win the game as Superman! The REV style figure somewhat return (though I'm not a big fan to be honest).
Some Friends and I bought a few packs (a brick essentially) and were not disappointed! of the first 6 bought (3 for me, 2 for Mark, and 1 for the store) 5 were super rares! I managed to pull the Shazam/Black Adams duo, which is the first to let you use it as a duo (at 280 pts) or choose to play Black adams or Shazam separately (at 140 ea). I also pulled Mr Miracle and.... his dwarf friend while Mark pulled the Flashes and Booster Gold/Blue Beetle and the story pulled Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn. The figures, stat wise, seem to be amazing! though most of the sculpt seem kind of dull. I haven't had a chance to use them yet (that comes tonight!) but I'll let you know how they stack up!
