Lasers are set to be the future of war; why wait when you can hit someone at the speed of light. So are drones, and thus it makes perfect sense for both of them to meet in the battlefield. The US Navy has been working on its Laser Weapons System (LaWS) for a while now, honing it for future use.

When I made this film, I was exploring the idea of how living things are made of matter, and when we die and rot and we’re returned to the earth and yadda yadda, and then that matter then goes on to build other living things. Basically I cut out the middle man, and made the matter reorganise itself into new things the moment the consciousness died. Then i put them in onesies and gave the whole thing a silly name.

Our recognition of comic book characters is well developed enough to recognize them from just abstract colors and shapes. Artist ColourOnly85 has chosen the same idea for the representation of DC characters.
