Digital Trends’ top 5 viral videos for March 25, 2011

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!


12-Year Old Pwns Ping Pong and Geometry

This kid is either going to be a geometry stud or a ping pong wizard. Or he will become one of “those guys”, hanging out at the bar and trying to pick up chicks with his awesome ping pong trick shots. It is a lonely life at the top of the ping pong trick shot pyramid…


Badminton, the Sport of Jedi

There is one easy way to help badminton achieve the success in America that it has reached in other countries—throw in deadly lightsabers! Doubles matches would be significantly more interesting if there was a slight chance of someone getting struck down, only to have them become more powerful than anyone could possibly imagine.


Brockman Shows How it’s Done

While his catch phrase “That’s how it’s done” borders on the obnoxious, some of these trickshots from Milwaukee Bucks D League player Jon Brockman are fairly amazing.


Fat Man+Tiny Pool=Internet Fame

In the video below, this guy has decided that the world record for belly flop has stood for long enough! Eventually you just have to stop and wonder at what point the world record for bellyflops will yield to the world record for people dying while attempting to break a single world record.


Slipknot vs. Bieber

Shy of something really insane, possibly Justin Bieber jumping a flaming motorcycle over the Grand Canyon, this might be the last time the Bieb will make it on the top 5. In the video below, “jefftheworld” has mashed up Slipknot and Justin Bieber. God knows why, but it is fairly catchy.

While Nimona has been the big Netflix original animated film of the summer, it's far from the only addition to the lineup.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
