Donate to Charity While People Watch All The Marvel Movies
Swell dudes Rob and Eric are going to run a marathon, sort of. They're going to watch all eleven Marvel Studios movies --- including the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron --- back-to-back, and live-stream the experience, and just like the best marathon runners, they're going to raise funds for charity along the way. Watching a lot of good movies isn't exactly hard work, of course, but that's not the point. The point is to encourage donations to Capes4Heroes, an organization that helps inspire sick kids to be brave and strong by turning them into superheroes. Rob and Eric's marathon is a way to take something that a fair number of comics fans will be doing anyway and give it positive consequences for people in need.

Maryland’s ‘Route 29 Batman’ Revealed To Be a Really Nice Guy
Earlier this week, I wrote about a strange news item in which a man dressed like Batman was pulled over for a traffic violation. This was the third story we've seen about a Batman in the news in recent memory, and in that post, I made a joke about how this Batman was breaking the law instead of helping out in the community...
