14 Best Batman Voices

A Batman is only as good as his Batman voice. There have been great Batman voices along the way, and some not-so-great Batman voices along the way — and some truly, absolutely legendary voices as well. Here’s the best of the best,



Look, it’s good. It’s good! But not everyone can do the Bale growl, alright? And who knows — maybe your voice is better than Batfleck’s. We’ll find out next year.

14.George Clooney

It’s just his regular George Clooney voice, which is a better voice than most, but nothing special as far as Batman voices go. And fair or unfair, he loses points for bat-nipples.

13.Ben McKenzie

The “Batman: Year One” star was perfectly fine, but James Gordon of “Gotham” is a much better fit.

12.Anthony Ruivivar

The “Beware the Batman” star brings something different than the stern, bass-heavy Batman voices we’re used to. But he has some other heavy-hitters to contend with, keeping him from being too memorable.

11.Jason O’Mara

Calm and in command, the Batman of “Justice League: War” is pleasant enough to listen to, but still has Kevin Conroy’s legendary shoes to fill.

10.Val Kilmer

Like Clooney, Val Kilmer’s Batman voice is basically just Val Kilmer. But he speaks perhaps the single greatest piece of Batman dialogue ever: “I’ll get drive-thru.”

9.Bruce Greenwood

Battle of the Bruces! Wayne, meet Greenwood. Greenwood, meet Wayne. Bruce Greenwood’s Bruce Wayne is basically Captain Pike meets Batman. You can imagine him playing an older, wiser version of Batman on a TV show some day.

8.Seth Green

“Robot Chicken” Batman is a Batman we need, if not one we deserve.

7.Will Arnett

“Lego Movie” Batman is also a Batman we need, and definitely one we don’t deserve — which makes everything extra awesome now that the movie gods are preparing a full-scale “Lego Batman” feature film.

6.This Impression

“With a side order, of spaghetti!”

5.Will Friedle

He’s no Bruce Wayne, but Terry McGuinness of “Batman Beyond” is a superhero icon in his own right, and there’s no one in the world who could voice him other than the erstwhile Eric Matthews of “Boy Meets World.” Not just one of the best Batman voices, but one of the best comic book character voices, full-stop.

4.Christian Bale

Love Bale’s Batman voice or hate it, there’s no denying its iconic place in pop culture. No matter where you land on the issue, you simply cannot deny that the Batman of the Dark Knight Trilogy rattled the cages with nothing more than a growl.

3.Adam West

Respect.

2.Michael Keaton

“I’m Batman.” Yes, you are.

1.Kevin Conroy

There’s no other answer. There are perhaps better iterations of Batman — big emphasis on “perhaps” — but none better as far as voices are concerned. From “Batman: The Animated Series” to the “Arkham” games and everything in between and beyond, Kevin Conroy is Batman, on voice and voice alone.

8 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Boobs

World’s biggest boob job are a size 38KKK. In early 2009, Sheyla Hershey of Brazil was awarded the Guinness World Record for having the largest set of breasts. After nine surgeries and more than a gallon of silicone, her breasts are a size 38KKK.

There is a NGO that fights for women’s right to be topless. GoTopless.org is an US organization which claims that women have the same constitutional right to be bare chested in public places as men. They often promote (topless) gatherings to claim for their rights.

Breasts are the first thing men notice in a woman. No news here. Research conducted at the Victoria University of Wellington showed that breasts are often the first thing men look at, and for a longer time than other body parts. Nothing to be ashamed of since another study said that staring at women’s breasts for just minutes a day can improve a man’s health and add four to five years to his life.

It’s exceptionally rare, but since men possess mammary glands just like women do, they have the capacity to produce milk. When male lactation happens, it’s usually because of hormonal treatments for diseases like cancer.

England is the country with biggest breasts in Europe. A survey made by bra maker Triumph found that British women have the biggest boobs in Europe. More than half of women in that country wear a size D cup. Denmark scored second while Holland was third. On the other hand, Italian women had the smallest breasts where 68 percent had a size B.

The average breast weighs about 0.5 kilograms (1.1 lb). Each breast contributes to about 4-5% of the body fat and thus 1% of the total body weight of an average woman.

Breasts implants can also save you from death. Big breasts miraculously saved an Israeli woman from death at the hands of a Lebanese paramilitary organization. The incident occurred during a Hezbollah rocket attack. The victim got a boob job two years ago. During the war, she was wounded in the chest by shrapnel but survived because of her implants. While the patient is fine, the implant, unfortunately, did not survive.

In China, you can major in Bra Studies. In Hong Kong, you can get a degree in Bra Studies from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University where they teach you how to design and build a bra. Recently, the students exhibited their designs at the ACE Style Institute of Intimate Apparel at the ITC Resource Centre.

10 Times Mirrors Me Put All Other Selfies to Shame

Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the best selfies of them all?

It seems selfies is the game, and everyone is just playing along. Normally when I think of the term “selfie”, I think about a bunch of people huddled with some taking a picture and half of them getting cut out, or I think of girls standing in front of the mirror making duck lips (and not just for fun). There are good selfies, terrible selfies, and then there are epic selfies! This is where Helene Meldahl wins at the selfie game. She has created an Instagram account-Mirrors Me, where she draws on mirrors and glass to create some of the most hilarious and well thought out selfies.

These scenarios are fun to look at, and they’re a nice break from those who just can’t get enough of looking at themselves. Make sure to follow her on Instagram and enjoy these 12 times Mirrors Me put all other selfies to shame

The 5 Things Women Won’t Tell You About Sex

1.Porn
Just because you saw it in a porn doesn’t mean women will like it. Most $ex in porn is actually not fun for women. Porn focuses on genital stimulation and good $ex is about whole body experiences.

2. Endurance
In general endurance is over rated. Just because women want $ex to last longer than 60 seconds doesn’t mean they want it to go on for hours. The vagina’s ability to self lubricate doesn’t go on forever. So pay attention to her and see how long she wants it.
3. Knowledge

Most women actually know what will bring them to orgasm. So when you are trying this or trying that and nothing is working it’s more likely that she doesn’t want to tell you than that she doesn’t know. She’s had practice bringing herself to orgasm with masturbation, so developing good communication is crucial so that she feels comfortable telling you.

 4. Getting There

Some women have a hard time achieving orgasm so for them, getting there is more trouble than it’s worth. That doesn’t mean they don’t want to have $ex, but it means that the orgasm will not be the star of the show. It’s ok, they’re still enjoying it.

 5. Sensitivity

Women’s bodies are very sensitive when aroused so err on the gentle side. In this case, less is more. Communication is also key so that if she wants you to do something harder or rougher she will tell you.

Taylor Swift Unearths Old Dance Footage With Jimmy Fallon

You’re in a for a real treat. Taylor Swift and Jimmy Fallon took a trip down memory lane on “The Tonight Show” Tuesday night, and we got to see them revive old dance moves from when they would go to sporting events together. Sort of.
It in a cute bit, the two pretended to unearth some old jumbotron footage of them dancing vigorously next to their courtside seats. As the camera cut from one embarrassing sports fan to another, once in a while, it wold pan to Swift and Fallon, who would spill their popcorn and other various snacks and hop right into some synchronized routine. You have to admit, their robot moves are on point.

10 Great Young Actors Who Could Play The New Spider-Man

It was less than five years ago that Andrew Garfield was named as the star to play the new big screen version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but once again Hollywood has found itself looking for a new performer to take the role. The wallcrawler will soon be getting rebooted into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, officially ending the Amazing Spider-Man series, and that process is going to require a casting period and finding a new actor. But who should the part go to?

In order to help narrow down the perfect choice to play the next cinematic version of Spider-Man, this a the list of 10 great young actors who could potentially do the part justice.

Kodi Smit-McPhee

Age: 18

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: At the ripe age of 18, Kodi Smit-McPhee is the youngest actor on this list, but that’s really only an extra card up his sleeve. After all, Marvel really should be doing their best to create a contrast between the adult ages of the current Avengers line-up and the youthful Spider-Man. Beyond just being under 20, however, Smit-McPhee has also put on some really stunning performances in his young career, and it’s not hard to have confidence in him doing some comic book-worthy stuff as the nerdy Peter Parker and his heroic alter-ego.

Ansel Elgort

Age: 20

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: Ansel Elgort had one hell of a 2014, earning positive marks for his turns in the young adult science fiction film Divergent and the tear-jerking drama The Fault In Our Stars, and 2015 could get off to a great start by seeing him be cast as the new Spider-Man. He has both youth and popularity working for him, and has even been getting some action-movie exercise thanks to the aforementioned sci-fi franchise. It is possible that same series could wind up creating some scheduling conflicts, but he’d still be a prime choice.

Craig Roberts

Age: 24

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: It might be weird to see the role of Spider-Man go to another British actor after Andrew Garfield, but Craig Roberts has the talent, attributes, and resume to back him up as a legitimate choice. He has a youthful look that’s right around the Peter Parker-level of nerdy, has his own kind of screen presence, and has proven himself to be a rather talented comedian (and the humor of Spider-Man is certainly one aspect that should carry over from the Amazing Spider-Man movies). His performance in Neighbors also showed that he can do just fine with an American accent, so there’s no issue there.

Douglas Booth

Age: 22

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: With Jupiter Ascending not doing so hot at the box office, 2015 isn’t off to a great start for Douglas Booth, but that could all turn around if he were to be cast as Spider-Man. Even though he’s only 22, he’s already caught the attention of fantastic filmmakers like Darren Aronofsky and the Wachowski siblings, so it’s not hard to believe that he could wind up charming Marvel Studios Kevin Feige and the rest of the crew at Marvel as well. Booth’s biggest downside is that he’s a bit too pretty to play the nerdy Peter Parker, so they may just need to keep him under the mask a bit more.

Cameron Monaghan

Age: 21

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: Having been acting since he was nine years old, Cameron Monaghan already has a long list of television work on his resume – from Malcolm In The Middle to his current role on Shameless - but his big screen credits have been getting more significant in recent years as well. But while last year saw him playing the best friend role in The Giver, we wonder if a leading role as Spider-Man could be in his future. He has a good look to play Peter Parker – and very different than what Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield brought to the plate – and has the right kind of profile to disappear into the role.

Anton Yelchin

Age: 25

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: Given that he already has a fairly significant role in another franchise – playing Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek movies – some might argue that Anton Yelchin’s franchise plate is fully enough at the moment, but one might also make the point that he could be a rather great choice as the new Spider-Man. When The Amazing Spider-Man was in the works, his name was on shortlists right alongside Andrew Garfield’s, and he has not aged out of consideration yet. He can play the nerd, he has charisma, he can be funny – what more do you need?

Taron Egerton

Age: 25

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: It’s quite likely that many of you don’t recognize the name Taron Egerton now, but that may change in a big way after this weekend. The actor is front and center alongside Colin Firth in X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn’s newest film Kingsman: The Secret Service, and his performance has been earning very high marks in early reviews. Admittedly, the actor doesn’t have much of a resume beyond his new movie, but that may just be a perfect opportunity for Marvel – who can snatch him up and get audiences to really identify him as Spider-Man before looking at him as any other character.

Donald Glover

Age: 31

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: As the only actor here over the age of 30, Donald Glover is the oldest actor mentioned on this list – but he’s here simply because he really deserves to be. Controversial as the idea of a black Peter Parker was, Glover got a lot of social media support when casting for The Amazing Spider-Man was going down in 2010, and it’s still hard not to like the idea of him wearing the red and blue suit. While I doubt it will be the case, if Marvel Studios were to consider going with an older Spider-Man for the MCU, I would hope that they would reach out to Donald Glover.

Dylan O’Brien

Age: 23

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: After really launching his career as the star of the MTV series Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien has started to really expand his horizons in the big screen world. With him in the lead role, The Maze Runner became one of last year’s big surprise hits – and while that movie is becoming a franchise of its own, O’Brien could really step up his blockbuster game as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man. He showed us some impressive physicality in last year’s young adult fiction adaptation, and while he is perhaps a bit too conventionally good looking, that’s nothing a little bit of makeup can’t help solve.

Freddie Highmore

Age: 22

Why He Would Be A Good Spider-Man: It would be kind of strange if the same actor played both Norman Bates and Peter Parker. That being said, it’s a credit to Freddie Highmore’s acting ability that I trust he could pull it off. The young actor has been seriously impressive through two seasons of Bates Motel, and it’s not imagine him doing a great job portraying both Peter Parker’s awkwardness and enthusiasm for science and technology. Being the star of his own television series would definitely make it hard for Highmore to play such a key role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it could be worth it for him.

Two Of Pro Counter-Strike's Best Matches Yet

MLG X Games Aspen, the year's first seriously big pro Counter-Strike event, took place over the weekend, and people were expecting big things. It did not disappoint. Not in the slightest.

Day one actually saw many of the sport's top teams—including Dream Hack Winter 2014 champs LDLC—lose in relatively inauspicious fashions, but apparently they were all just warming up. On day two, pretty much everyone—including the golden trio: LDLC, NiP, and Fnatic—brought their A games out of cold storage and charged into the final stages of the tournament.

This resulted in two of the best Counter-Strike sets I've ever seen. First up, there was the semi-final match between NiP and Fnatic, full of dizzying highs and heartbreaking lows, especially for Fnatic. They've looked better in the past, but they still gave NiP one hell of a fight, and the resulting back-and-forth drama is edge-of-your-seat melting material. (From friction, I guess? I'm no seat edge scientist. I majored in armchair ergonomics with a minor in gender studies.)




SPOILER: NiP won, propelling them into the finals against LDLC. Yep, it was a rematch of their already legendary Dream Hack Winter 2014 set, NiP fighting for vengeance, LDLC pushing back to prove that Dream Hack wasn't a fluke.

Once again, LDLC and NiP traded wild comebacks and momentum shifts en route to another LDLC win. Even if you know the outcomes, though, both of these matches are well worth watching. We're talking Counter-Strike at its finest: ultra-fast paced, drenched in drama, and mesmerizingly tense. It's a great reminder of why this sport has boosted (or bird-surfed) its way up the eSports pecking order so quickly in spite of some ugly scandals.

Here's to many more great matches—matches that make this stuff look like child's play—and less of, you know, that other thing.

Get your very own Invisible Girlfriend (or Boyfriend) today!

This App Lets You Catfish Yourself  

Catfish me once, shame on you. Catfish me twice, shame on me. Catfish myself, shame on… Um… Wait, “catfish myself”?
Yep, there is an actual service for the lonely souls out there who want to take catfish-ing to a whole new level called “Invisible Girlfriend.”
The idea is simple: Sign up and pay $25, and you’ll get text messages and photos sent to you as if a real girlfriend were blowing up your phone “with love.”

And for those into dudes, there’s a companion app called “Invisible Boyfriend.”
With both apps, the first step to living it up, Manti Te’o-style, is making up a back story about how you and your lover “met.” Then, voila! Here come the texts and pics.

If this all sounds too sad for words, well, it does come from a sad place.
The creator, Matthew Homann, who won a startup competition with the idea in 2013, invented the service nine years ago because he was going through a divorce and got tired of people asking him if he’d found a new partner.
According to Homman, prospective customers also include those people who don’t want their conservative loved ones to find out they’re gay and soldiers who are overseas that want a pretend “bae” back home.

World’s Weirdest Hotels

1. CasAnus

CasAnus is a giant sculpture of a human intestine that is located in Kemzeke, Belgium. CasAnus was created by Joep Van Lieshout. It contains a double bed, heater, shower, and toilet. CasAnus is run by a couple of Belgian art collectors. While it might not look especially appealing from the outside, except for being in the middle of nature, the inside of the room is as comfy as any place else.
This one-room hotel is extremely popular with couples since it’s situated in a quiet and remote place. It is visited by 200-250 people per year. Joep Van Lieshout once said that he was inspired by human body and he had cherished the idea of such a hotel for a long time. This hotel is made of natural materials such as wood, PU foam and it is printed with naturalistic reddish color. The interesting thing is that the sculpture anatomically corresponds to the human digestive system from the tongue to the anus. Despite the immense size of the construction, it took a few months to finish the sculpture. When the building was presented to the public the reaction was utterly approving!

2. Das Park Hotel

Das Park Hotel located in Linz, Austria is actually a number of repurposed drainpipes that have been turned into rooms. It’s one of the greatest examples of how people can reuse materials and goods. The workers used only varnish and wall paintings to transform the pipes into comfortable accommodation. Since the space of each room is about 2 square meters, there are only a bed, light, power and ventilation in the room. You can also find some place for your luggage. Bathroom facilities and kitchen are not too far from the pipes, however you will have to pay for them.
Concrete is a wonderful sound-proofing material, so you won’t be disturbed by the outer noise. The pipes keep cool temperature during the summer months and protect you from cold weather in autumn and spring, since the hotel is available from May to October. Andreas Strauss, the creator, emphasizes that Das Park Hotel is non-commercial project. It was designed to demonstrate hospitality and to lure tourists.

3. Palacio de Sal

 

This hotel is in Bolivia and is made entirely from salt. The floors, walls, and ceiling are made from salt. Even the bed and chairs are made of salt. Each room has a private bath. The Palacio de Sal is located at the eastern shore of the Great Salar de Uyuni, near the world’s biggest salt flat. The current hotel was built in 2007, though the original building (1993-1995) was dismantled due to sanitary problems. Now, however, you can be sure that all the discrepancies are removed. Since the building and some furniture are made entirely of salt, there are some specific rules the guests should follow. For example, visitors are prohibited from licking the walls and they also should be careful with salt furniture.
All in all, the hotel is supplied with 16 rooms, steam room, whirlpool, massage room and several golf courses, available from May to November. Typically, the Bolivians treat their guests to salty meat and veggies. The Palacio de Sal leaves lasting impression.

4. Dog Bark Park Inn

 

Located in Cottonwood, Idaho, this hotel is actually in the shape of a dog. The room sleeps 4 and contains a full bath, a microwave, air conditioning, books, games, and puzzles, but no television or telephone. The owners say that you will feel the rural atmosphere more vividly without external influences. I think that Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin, the creators of this whimsical accommodation, were inspired by the love of animals and dogs in particular. When it came to the hotel, they decided to create a beagle-shaped building in order to lure more tourists and guests. And they were right! Their hobby and passion developed into one of the most unusual places in the world.

The hotel consists of two parts: Sweet Willy and Toby. Since this hotel is extremely popular with visitors, you should book the place in advance. Every detail inside displays the love of dogs: pillows, carpets, books, and even cookies. Moreover, the toilet is hydrant-shaped! When you stay you’ll also be treated to a continental self-serve breakfast and even dog food!

5. The Hobbit Motel

The Hobbit Motel can be found in Woodlyn Park, New Zealand. The hotel is made of polystyrene blocks, which keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. The roof is covered with thick grass and you always have amazing view from the window.
If you stay at the Hobbit Motel, you will have a chance to enjoy Billy Black’s Kiwi Culture Show. This performance draws people from all over the world and allows you to participate in the really unique New Zealand experience. You will have fun and you will learn a lot about their culture, traditions and nature. The inside of the hotel is very cozy and homelike. The accommodation is clean, neat, with well-equipped kitchenette and all the bathroom facilities. I was really satisfied with the stuff. They are friendly, positive and helpful. If you are in New Zealand, you cannot lose the chance to stay in this fantastical place!

6. Null Stern Hotel

The world’s first zero star hotel is located in Teufen, Appenzellerland, Switzerland. Their catch-phrase is “the only star is you.” The hotel was built in a cold war bunker and there are no windows. This hotel is another example of reusing old disused buildings. The Null Stern Hotel was nominated for the best innovation of the year at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards (2009). In 2010 it was included to the top 100 hotels in Europe. Frank and Patrik Riklin, the conceptual artists and twin brothers, decided to leave the interior of the shelter intact: the concrete walls and pipes. However they added a touch of a comfort by supplying the rooms with beds, furniture and lights.

The bathrooms are shared, and there is a lounge, and two large rooms for 14 people with 4 double-beds and all the rest single. All in all, there is nothing unusual about the interior. The bunker is supplied with essential things. The designers wanted to call attention to the problems of environment. Thus, this hotel is originally an installation. You won’t find luxury and prosperity here. But this place is definitely worth visiting.

7. Capsule Hotels

In Japan capsule hotels are quite popular. The idea of capsule hotels first appeared in 1979. Since that time capsule hotels are part and parcel of Japanese culture. These hotels are perfect for unpretentious people who need overnight accommodation and basic service. Moreover, the Japanese often rent capsule hotels for a considerable period of time when they experience hard financial times. Such accommodations didn’t gain much popularity outside Japan, but they begat counterparts all over the world. They are small measuring only 1 x 2 meters. Many of the capsule hotels do offer television and wireless internet, but usually don’t allow eating inside the capsule. Bathrooms are shared and there are restaurants. They are very basic and quite cheap to rent running approximately $25-50/night.

The great thing about capsule hotels is that you can take the place without prior booking. It is explained by the bigger number of places available than in any other hotel. 

8. IceHotel

 

If you’re looking for a unique experience, the IceHotel is a must. Opened in 1990, this hotel in Lapland, Sweden is rebuilt every winter. The designers and architects say that IceHotel is more than just beds and rooms; it’s an art project made of snow and ice that constantly challenges their imagination.
The IceHotel is the original. It has 65 rooms with beds made of ice. Opt for Ice Rooms, Snow Rooms, Art Suits, Northern Light Rooms or Deluxe Suits. While the temperature inside will be a chilly -5 Celsius, it’s warmer than the -15 Celsius outside. The hotel also has an IceBar, sauna, and restaurants.
The IceHotel is extremely popular with visitors. Nearly 50,000 people from all over the world come here to experience northern lights, calmness and complete wilderness.

9. V8 Hotel

Are you a car fanatic? The V8 Hotel in Meilenwerk, Germany may be your cup of tea. Both design and architecture are about automobiles: legendary vintage cars, sporty timers, exclusive cars and rarities will definitely create the racing mood! Each room has an automotive theme as well. You can sleep in a bed made from a white Mercedes or sleep in the workshop room where your car bed is actually lifted up on jacks. This hotel is child friendly. There is a CD player in each room, wireless internet, free parking, and laundry services.
The hotel is supplied with 34 places, 10 of them with unique design. You can order a tour to the Mercedes-Benz Museum and learn the 125-year history of automobiles. Moreover, the V8 Hotel isn’t located in somewhere; it is located in a special and unique area – the Motorworld Stuttgard. Car specialists, enthusiasts, people who love technology and technical aesthetics can find everything here.

10. Forest Hut Hotel

 
This one is considered to be the most primitive Sweden hotel, since there is no electricity and showers. So you will face pure natural mystic here . The rooms are applied with 2 beds, fireplace, candles and lamps. Facilities are outside and the shower is replaced by a dip in a lake. Be ready to sleep on wooden beds, which are much harder and less comfortable than your home beds. 
If you would rather not forage for your own food, you can have food dropped to your site. There are numerous wildlife tours to choose from, and with the guide’s help you will see many unique wild animals. You can also choose hiking and blueberry-picking. Of course such vacation is not to everyone’s taste. 
But if you’re looking for a new and unique experience, one of these hotels might be a nice change of pace and give you a once in a lifetime experience.
