The universe is a strange place. The more astronomers search the stars with greater and greater accuracy, the more bizarre phenomenon they discover. From zombie stars to cannibalistic galaxies, here's a rundown by Alltime10 of some of the wildest found...so far.
How has Batman's chest symbol changed over the years? Batman has had a ton of looks over the years, but one thing that's been constant is his chest emblem. At least it's been there. From fat to thin, from stylized to freaky HalloweenCostumes.com has created this handy infographic to see how it's changed in the comics, movies and TV. From Detective Comics #27 to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice see how the bat has put fear into the cowardly and superstitious lot.
Before men ever managed to leave the Earth, they looked up to the stars and dreamed of what life might be like there. And being men, they thought of sexy ladies. The idea of a planet populated entirely by beautiful women captured movie audiences during the fifties. There were never any overweight or unattractive women, and all the women are in need of some good lovin’. Here's a run-down.
1) Cat Women Of The Moon (1953)
When a team of astronauts land on the moon, they discover a group of "cat-women," the only survivors of a race that died off when the moon’s atmosphere disappeared. Fortunately, they found a nice cave full of air to live in, but it's not holding up too well. They all have a nice party until they discover the women plot to steal their ship and abandon them on the moon. Fortunately, they escape, leaving the women to extinction. Hooray.
2) Abbott and Costello Go To Mars (1953)
The comedy duo play two average joes who end up being forced by bank robbers to launch a rocket to Venus. There, they discover a group of women who banished all the men (no explanation where to). When they try to introduce some of the ways of love, the evil queen sends them packing back to Earth. Oddly enough, they never end up going to Mars. What a rip-off.
3) Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956)
When a group of chain-smoking astronauts land on one of Jupiter’s moons, they discover New Atlantis, a colony founded by the original Atlantis. Somehow, they managed to accomplish space travel, but never figured out how to live above the water. The only survivors are a group of beautiful women and their aging “father” who’s so old he doesn’t count. The astronauts fight off a monstrous creature and leave to bring back more men from Earth. Because what all women need is more men.
4) Queen Of Outer Space (1958)
A group of male astronauts crash land on Venus and discover a race of women led by a cruel dictator, Queen Yllana. They discover all the men have been banished (again with the banishing), but the lonely women want them back. It turns out Yllana’s face was burned by radiation, making her ugly. If she couldn't have men, nobody could. In the end, they overthrow Yllana and make the world safe for men again.
5) Missile to the Moon (1958)
When a group of convicts get hijacked by a mad scientist, they end up on the Moon, where they battle rock men, giant spiders, and beautiful women. The women are the only survivors of their race, and plot to steal the spaceship and return to Earth. If it sounds familiar, this is actually a remake of Cat Women of the Moon, a movie so good they made it twice. This version adds monsters, but is actually much, much worse, if that’s possible.
6) Planet of the Amazon Women (1979)
When hunky space hero Buck Rogers (of the 25th Century) gets kidnapped, he becomes a slave on a planet of women. This episode broke the trend of banishing men or killing them off. Instead, all the men were kidnapped as prisoners of war by a rival planet. That’s one war tactic we never thought of. But the outcome is the same: the women want their men back, and Buck is happy to help. He rescues the men and makes the planet co-ed once more.
7) "Amazon Women in the Mood" (2001)
On Futurama, when Fry and his buddies crash land on the planet Amazonia, they discover a race of gigantic women. The women killed off all the men through “snu-snu,” and have created their own perfect society, led by a “fem-puter.” When the men are sentenced to death by snu-snu, they can't decide if it's a reward or a punishment. Fortunately, Bender teaches Femputer that men are good for something after all, but Leela is still looking for an apartment there.
Honorable Mention:
Amazon Women on the Moon (1987) is another classic example, but it’s clearly a parody of the genre. Still, it's better than most of the movies on this list.

On Star Trek: The Next Generation, one of Worf's favorite things was to start a sentence with "Klingons do not..." I guess it's easier to say what Klingons don't do than what they do. Here's a collection of some of Worf's best "Klingons do not" moments.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2015) Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot)
Here are 10 things you missed at San Diego Comic con 2014. The biggest
science fiction convention in the world happened last weekend and as
usual a ton of cool stuff was announced. Just in case you missed it,
here are the ten biggest announcements of the Sand Diego Comic Con this
year.
3. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Wonder Woman Costume
4. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Teaser
Here's how /Film describes the teaser along with low-res images from IMGUR
The short teaser opens with Batman in a full armor suit from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns
Glowing eyes, very mechanical, it’s pouring rain He pulls down a
lever on something and we realize it’s the Bat Signal. It has the new
Batman logo (reminiscent of the one from Miller’s comic).
The camera
slowly pans up to reveal the signal projected in the air but right in
the middle of it: Superman.
He’s illuminated in the sky amongst the
pouring rain with his red glowing eyes.
Cut back to Batman, staring
right back at Superman with his blue glowing eyes and we cut to the
logo.
What do Star Wars and Hamlet have in common? Well, they both have ghosts, sword fights, and mysterious forces. That's about it. Now throw Star Trek into the mix, and you've really got a head-scratcher. But check out this surreal clip from the Israeli crime comedy, Hunting Elephants, that brings them all together.

Everybody freaked thinking he was confirming he was cast as Black Panther in a new movie. It turns out he was reading a Black Panther comic book. It would have been cool though.
Astronaut Molly Woods tries to reconnect with her husband, John and her son, Ethan, after returning from a 13-month solo mission in outer space.
Wikipedia says, "Extant is a term commonly in use in biology to refer to ... species... that are still in existence, meaning still alive as opposed to extinct." This is obviously a setup for a very far-reaching and complicated series. The first episode is very slow but it sets up everything you need to know about the characters and the characters are very well developed. Executive producer Steven Spielberg has crafted a show that has everything he loves. Deep family relationships and a fascination with technology and aliens (presumably). Halle Berry is phenomenal of course and shows her maturity as an actor playing both a mother and a scientist. These are two things she couldn't have done 10 years ago. The revelation that she's pregnant after being alone in space for 13 months on space station Seraphim is only surprising if you didn't pay attention to any of the promos, but they still make it work. Goran Visnjic plays her husband, Dr. John Woods, and is full of optimism and patience. These are necessary since he's dealing with a long distance relationship and a skeptical audience for his robot child Ethan, played by Pierce Gagnon. It's easy to compare the concept to A.I. Artificial Intelligence but Gagnon manages to play a robot without looking fake like Haley Joel Osment. Her best friend Dr. Sam Barton, played by Camryn Manheim, is the only one who knows her secret. Like a true friend she pushes to let the secrets out, but Molly insists she needs time. The music, by
Marcelo Zarvos is subtle, yet powerful. The cinematography by M. David Mullen is futuristic, but feels slightly cold and realistic. "Extinct" (01x02) - Recommended
Sam gives Molly an ultrasound in hope of learning more about her mysterious pregnancy. The second episode sets up the world around Molly and it's interesting how the show is setting up the pieces. The relationships are being tested, but more importantly the stakes are rising. At the same time Molly begins to realize there's a vast conspiracy after she meets former Seraphim astronaut Harmon Kryger, played by Brad Beyer who faked his death and is running paranoid from ISEA. While the first episode didn't give a clue where it's going, the second episode does. Berry gives an even more layered performance than before and Gagnon shows slightly more range. This show is creepy and interesting, but it's going to take patience. Since CBS just picked it up for the full season there's time.
Synopsis: In a new Ice Age, where Earth has been frozen for 17 years, SNOWPIERCER is the only place for survivors. Climate change has made the planet uninhabitable. Those few who survived the planet’s demise live aboard a train that perpetually circles the same track. The tail section is like a slum, filled with people who are cold and hungry, forced to live by their wits, while the front section contains the chosen few, who indulge in alcohol and drugs amid luxurious surroundings. The world inside the train is far from equal.
In the 17th year of the train’s infinite course, a young leader from the tail section stirs up a riot that has been brewing for some time. In order to liberate the tail section and eventually the whole train, this hero and his fellow passengers charge toward the engine located at the front of the train, where its creator, the absolute authority, resides in splendor. But unexpected circumstances lie in wait for humanity’s tenacious survivors…
Snowpiercer Movie Review via Alex J. Cavanaugh Recommended "Once the characters start moving forward on the train, trying to reach
the engine, the film is full steam ahead and never lets up."
Movie Round-Up: Snowpiercer via PT Dilloway - Recommended "It's the kind of movie I'd probably like to watch again just to see if I get more out of it a second time."

It was truly the end of an era on July 20 when the surviving members of the legendary comedy troupe Monty Python performed their final show at London's O2 Arena. Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam led the crowd in a rousing chorus of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" before lowering the curtain for the last time. The group says it's their final performance together, which is more than likely, given all of them are in their 70's. The only other member Graham Chapman died in 1989. Twenty thousand fans paid to attend the show, and for those who couldn't attend, we got to watch the climax on TV.
