Here he comes again, fresh off giving the box office a jolly good rogering, the Merc with a Mouth has another NSFW video reminding us just how great his film really was. We love you Deadpool! Ryan Reynolds has once again slipped into his scarlet suit to explain to us exactly why he should win the coveted Clio Golden Key Award for "Best Integrated Marketing Campaign" — it all sounds very wordy, but as Deadpool would probably say, "We got shit done."

I'm always looking for awesome fan-created art and today I've found something amazing for you. Say hello to Makeup artist, body painter and model Argenis Pinal.

However, internet wizard David Unger has used his magic to combine the music of Queen and the Alien Queen in one glorious video.

Tom ChapmanPublished 7 years ago in BeatThe Lego Batman Movie: 13 Cameos That Expand The Dark Knight's World
With his spectacular abs, gadgets aplenty and a wave of rave reviews, The Lego Batman Movie is an unequivocal hit. Focused on Will Arnett’s silly (and stubborn) version of the Caped Crusader, The Lego Batman Movie sees Batman tackle a host of super-villains, led by the Joker, voiced by Zach Galifianakis. But beating bad guys isn't the only challenge our daring hero faces — he also must confront the perils of parenthood when he accidentally adopts the young Dick Grayson (Michael Cera). And so, a hilariously madcap deconstruction of Batman — and his place in pop-culture — unfolds!
