Labor Day Weekend is a circled on the calendar of free-spirits of all shapes and species, as WorldCon, Burning Man, Dragon*Con and PAX are all on the schedule -- no matter what you like to dress up as, there's definitely a place to parade around and search for someone else dressed up for the ultimate fantasy.

By Steve Morris In these dark times, it's hard to tell right from wrong anymore. Our heroes are being arrested and demasked in public, whilst supervillains are using their genius intellect to perform heartwarming acts...

As you may have heard, nail art is all the rage these days, and its getting more and more ornate. And some ladies are going for comics inspired pieces, such as this, by Brooklyn's Fleury Rose, who created this design for someone going to the Dark Knight Rises premiere in New York, who got to show them off to director Christopher Nolan, even.

Comic book cosmetics are definitely on the rise. The M.A.C. line of Wonder Woman makeup a few years back was a sellout, and Sephora's Hello Kitty is still going strong; of course, there was also Spider-Man nail polish and so on. M.A.C. is following up with a line inspired by Archie Comics. While the PR hasn't revealed any shades we'd expect the Archie's Girls line to include bold reds and greens. And to launch the line, Archie's Dan Parent will be at the San Diego M.A.C. store on Fifth, signing and drawing.

It's time for comic-book fans to clean up their act and start dressing more appropriately, don't you think? Indochino have today kicked off what will hopefully be a new wave of classy fashions for superhero fans, so we can finally throw away our old 'Tony Stark Was Right' shirts.

We were all pretty excited when the first set photos of Henry Cavill as Superman leaked out. It seemed that after years of binding and CGI smoothing, Superman was finally getting super where it counted.

Via Popcrunch. There are several artists on here who show in spades that design is not their strong suit. Or their biker suit.

Yes, it is PRODUCT DAY here on The Beat! And this one is pretty darned cool. Converse has long had a design-your-own Chuck Taylor's program on their website. And they've just added a DC Comics themed range to the site. The designs feature the Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman, and, of course, Batman himself.

For Australian Fashion Week, Romance Was Born designers Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales went all Jack Kirby with an "exuberant" mix of stripes and patterns.
