Despite recent events that may have put some people off, we were able to catch a matinee of The Dark Knight Rises yesterday… and we will probably not comment extensively on those events, because they have nothing whatsoever to do with comic books or geek culture other than the setting. Sure, the dipshit who did the shootings told cops that he was The Joker, but that’s got nothing to do with the comics or the movies. Son of Sam said his neighbor’s fucking pit bull told him to whack out strangers, and I doubt you saw Dog Fancy magazine wringing their hands over what it meant for public perception of dog owners.

Everyone say it with me: James Holmes is a spastic and a monster, but his is a crime story, and not a comics story. Settled? Good.

Because I don’t want to talk about that cocknozzle, and due to a busy day, I don’t have time to talk about The Dark Knight Rises in any detail today. But one interesting new thing that we took from the event was the first trailer for Zack Snyder’s reboot of Superman, Man of Steel. Which a week ago, if you wanted to see it, was worth hours of your time in line for Hall H at SDCC 2012, but which now is available online. Meaning it is available here, right after the jump.
