Batman's Shameful Secret is our forum all about comic books and "graphic novels" (which is just a fancy way of saying "comic books for people who think they're smart"). What up with it, muscles like this?
Superman's screwed! 'Kryptonite' discovered in Serbia! - Nerds rejoice as a mineral matching the properties of kryptonite is discovered. Nerds get pissed off when learning that it can't actually be called kryptonite because it has nothing to do with the element krypton which is a gas.
