8 DC Heroes That Can Kick Butt With No Powers....And Are Not Batman.

    Doctor Q wrote a list about super beings recently and since I love Superheroes and Free Comic Book Day just passed, I figured I would try to do a list of my own. If only to spark some debate among the Pop Trends crew.

This week, I’ll attempt to provide some tips that while obvious; tend to fly over intelligent brains. They are based on my own experiences and while they may not work on all nerdy girls out there, I think it will significantly raise your odds at approaching one successfully.

Comic Book Thursdays #2: Cinderella Robins

It raises the question, with this Robin having so little history compared to others, how come he gets a movie? Let’s take a brief look at the five main Robins and see which one is Cinderella, the hardest worker with the least recognition.
