In superhero news, here's the new Dark Knight Rises teaser:

For those of you (gay) who like their heroes lovingly hand drawn with rippling muscles and too-square-for-real-life jaws , meet DC Comics' latest flightless, loveless space orphan, the superhero formerly known as Superman. How the mighty have fallen.
