Batman & Black Canary

Back in 1980, issue #166 of The Brave and the Bold featured a team up between Batman and Black Canary. At first Batman isn't too keen on Black Canary helping him with a case, leaving her cuffed to the base of a streetlight. How rude.

But the Penguin's goons turn out to be even ruder, knocking Black Canary out cold.

The Black Canary winds up being tied to a chair and gagged, all while barefoot and clad only in her underwear. I always knew the Penguin was a really cool guy.

But it's Batman to the rescue. With Black Canary still helping out however she can.

All's well that ends well. I read this comic when it was originally published, and I even had it for a while as an adult. To say I appreciated BC's BF and underwear bondage back then was putting it mildly.

Supergirl

This weekend Supergirl opened up all over Earth Prime (that's what our normal, non-superhuman Earth was referred to in DC Comics back when I was a kid). And the reviews have been terrible--everybody who's seen it, including some friends of mine, have said it's not very good.

I'm sorry to hear this, as I'm looking forward to seeing this version of Supergirl. Having been a fan of the character since I was a kid (and loving every media version I've seen of her, starting with the 1984 Helen Slater movie, despite its flaws) I would still want to see this new version, regardless.

These pictures of a barefoot Supergirl were prompted by me to an AI program, which created them for me. These aren't the very first AI pictures I've done. I have about three months of R&D with making AI imagery behind me, with these being the most recent. The AI kept giving me these cityscapes that looked like they were from an alternate Earth, and I liked it. I figure, out of all the superheroes, Supergirl should go barefoot, thanks to her invulnerability. I've written more about the previous two cinematic versions of Supergirl right here.

Supergirl the Series Pt2

In the pilot, the very first episode of the Supergirl series, Kara is trying on different outfits to wear as Supergirl, and comes out to show off this one, which wasn't chosen (damn it).

Maybe this would have been a better outfit for her to wear as AquaGirl, or something.

And, if you can indulge me one more shot from Supergirl: Calista Flockhart, in the same pilot, removes her shoes while sitting at her desk.

We don't see her feet in this shot (drat), but it's nice to know that Cat Grant works in her office sans shoes.

Supergirl the Series Pt1

The Supergirl TV series, starring Melissa Benoist, was a lot of fun. Granted, it had its problems--especially with storylines that got way too preachy--but I always enjoyed Benoist's performance. She was great as Supergirl, and she made the show enjoyabe for me.

I was re-watching the third season recently and caught this scene of Benoist looking for her shoes before going to work. It's from the opening moments of the episode Triggers.

It's a nice, if brief, barefoot scene with an actress and a character who didn't go BF all that much during the series' run.

Later in the season, in the episode The Faithful, actress Odette Annable removes her shoes during a casual get-together of the girls.

Supergirl

I'm already looking forward to seeing the new Supergirl movie that's being released later this year. But if Supergirl looked like this, sans boots, I'd probably be demanding to see it right now. This is an image from Tantra Art, over on Pinterest.

The Suicide Squad

I last posted this glorious clip back in December of 2024, when they released the first trailer for the new Superman movie. Just this past weekend I re-watched Superman on HBO-Max (they started showing it this past Friday).

And, on top of all this, would you believe this past Saturday was Batman Day? I completely forgot about it. I didn't find out until it was well over. Holy Forgetfulness, Batman!

In honor of this big DC Comics weekend, I thought it was time to present this clip again, from The Suicide Squad (2021). This movie was also directed by James Gunn, who helmed Superman.

The always great Margo Robbie (who would go on to star in Barbie) appears here as Harley Quinn.

In the film, she's been captured by the bad guys and is hung up by her bound wrists, hands over her head.

She goes barefoot throughout this whole bondage scene, and there are some really nice foot-reaching moments, here.

You can find this great clip right here.

Superman 2025 review

With Superman 2025 premiering on HBO-Max today, I figured what better time than now for a review? In short, I really enjoyed this version of Superman a great deal. I like how the new film hits the ground running, by not bothering with retelling the origin story. David Corenswet is a good choice as Superman, with Nicolas Holt being absolutely fantastic as Lex Luthor (Hoult's my new favorite version of the character, aside from Gene Hackman, who was so good in the '78 version).

And James Gunn adding the Justice Gang was an inspired idea. I really liked how the DC Comics universe--with all its heroes and villains--is fully formed around this Superman, who still manages to stand out among them. The storyline is gripping and fast-paced, with Superman being given a lot of challenges to overcome, and watching him do so is all part of the fun. A vastly entertaining movie that's recommended.

Superman 2025

The first full trailer for the new Superman film has been released. I was excited about this one already, but this trailer has sent my excitement into hyperdrive. The movie comes out July 11, 2025. I can't wait for it. You can see the trailer right here.

The Suicide Squad

They released the first trailer for the new Superman movie on Thursday, and it looks great. I can't wait to see it, just for Krypto alone.

The new Superman film is directed by James Gunn, who's better known for his work on Guardians of the Galaxy.

There were no scenes of interest for us in the Superman trailer, but Gunn also directed The Suicide Squad (2021), which had a great scene for us in it.

The always great Margo Robbie (who later did Barbie) stars here as Harley Quinn.

In the film, she's been captured by the bad guys and is hung up by her bound wrists, hands over her head.

She goes barefoot throughout this whole bondage scene, and there's some really nice foot-reaching moments, here.

I'm trying a new file hosting service, where you can find this clip right here.

Simply Legends

From the third season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, in the episode called "I, Ava," we have series regular Maisie Richardson-Sellers tied to a chair by the good guys.

She's bound hand and foot (and gagged) to a chair on wheels while barefoot and clad in surgical scrubs.

There is a very good reason why she's tied up like this. But it's very long and complex and I don't really feel like getting into it right now.

It's also a very brief scene, which is why I only have four vidcaps of it. But it's very nice. I love it.

My Superhero

I've finished the first draft of my latest book.

Granted, it's the first draft, and there's a lot of editing and re-writing to be done. But as I like to say, the hard part of writing--the creating of something out of nothing--is done.

It's my first superhero novel, featuring a super heroine whom I've created just for this story.

And yep, she goes barefoot--as does most of the citizens in the town that she prowls around in. There's also bondage in it, as well. It's basically my take on a superhero story.

To celebrate the finishing of this first draft, I'm posting one of my favorite BF bondage scenes from a superhero movie: Margo Robbie as Harley Quinn in The Suicide Squad (2021).

I'm planning on having this latest book published in early May, if not sooner. I'll let you know when it's available.

Once the superhero book is fully set up, I'll get started on the next Ryta book. I'm already plotting that one out. In the mean time, you can see this wonderful scene with Margo/Harley right here.

The Flash

The first trailer for The Flash dropped during the Superbowl, and the movie looks like it might be very good. I have high hopes for it, based on this trailer.

It also stars Sasha Calle as a new version of Supergirl. And I like what I see so far. And she even goes barefoot.

She's broken out of a Cadmus facility, where she had been kept a barefoot prisoner. She's BF throughout this scene in the trailer. They show Calle in her Supergirl outfit later on, and she looks great. I can't wait to see her (along with Michael Keaton as Batman once more) in action.

As much as I enjoy the Marvel films, I was always far more of a DC Comics fan. I'm sorry to say that Black Adam was something of a disappointment for me (although I loved their take on Doctor Fate), and I'm hoping The Flash will be the next truly great DC movie that's in the same league as Superman ('78), The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, and The Batman ('22).

And the less said about the lead actor, the better. If you're uncomfortable about seeing this film because of him, that's fine. I understand perfectly. But consider that hundreds, if not thousands of people have worked their butts off on this movie--both cast and crew--and it would be a shame for all of their hard work to be ignored because of the actions of a single scumbag. Watch the trailer below and make up your own mind:
