Rock Band is certainly a fun way to enjoy your favorite songs and pretend you're "melting hot licks" (or whatever the kids are calling it these days). It also has a decent character (rockvatar?) generator that let's you appropriately create a digital representation of your on-stage awesomeness.

What's more, it let's people create all sorts of great interpretations of famous real and fictional individuals. And then put them in a band. Like the cast of Star Trek The Next Generation, or Sarah Palin, or the survivors from Left 4 Dead.

I too have experimented with creating Rock Band facsimiles of famous characters. Tired of stand-ins filling out my band, I decided to create two much more interesting compatriots to rock out with. Mind you this was many months ago and I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but it's the Internet, so I'm compelled to share.

First up is everyone's favorite musical villain, Dr. Horrible. Behold him in all of his angsty glory!


My apologies to Joss Whedon and Neil Patrick Harris.

Since I have a penchant for villains (and super-villains), I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pay tribute to The Dark Knight. Filling out the rest of my band is everyone's favorite Clown Prince (of Rock), The Joker:


Oh, and in case you were wondering, this is how I roll:


At least I think that's me. It could be Yahtzee Croshaw.
