When Steve Rodgers was given super serum and becameCaptain America, he was given the kind of muscles that – in real life – are only possible through steroids. And there’s your jumping off point for this Funkanomics Comedy video (viaTopless Robot)that surmises what happens when Captain America is called before the Senate to talk steroids.

MoreDark Knight Risesset photos have surfaced showing some snow andJoseph Gordon-Levitt. If you head to theSuperhero Hype forums(ViaCBM) you can see many more photos and read many more details about what’s going on in the scene. There’s more TDKR on the next page.
Anne Hathawayis doing press forOne Dayand keeps getting asked about her currently in production movie,The Dark Knight Rises. And while she won’t be saying much about the character or plot, she did reveal the audition process toExaminer(viaComic Book Movie). Here’s the first paragraph, read more at the links:
One of the new twists on the Spider-Man story inThe Amazing Spider-Manis that it deals with Peter Parker’s biological parents. DirectorMarc Webbspoke to MTVabout this twist and said that, unlike in the comics, they won’t be CIA agents in this movie. They’re creating their own world.
Comic Book MoviereaderThunder978did a little recon on theMan of Steelshoot yesterday. They’re shooting some kind of traffic jam scene on a highway in Sugar Grove, IL. You can’t see much in this video but it’s cool none the less. If you head to the above links, you can see another video of him approaching the set.
Jumping off that video, theMan of SteelFacebook Pageas well as On Location Vacation (viaCBM) have a bunch of detailed photos from the shoot. The one above is ofHenry Cavilland at the links you’re able to (sort of) seeDiane LaneandKevin Costneras well.
While the most ofMan of Steelshoot is in Illinois, apparently they’ll be heading to Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California towards the end of their shoot early next year. Thanks toSuperhero Hypefor the info.

Oh that Hitler, he has an opinion on anything. In the meme that never ends (viaNuke the FridgeandCBM) the German mass murderer voices his opinions on all ofThe Dark Knight Risesleaks including Bane’s voice and Catwoman’s mask.
In that video, Hitler mentions the early rumor that The Riddler was going to be inThe Dark Knight Rises. That rumor has all but been debunked, especially whenChristopher Nolansaid “It won’t be the Riddler.” But, leave it to the internet to keep hope alive.Hypable(viaScreenrant) supposedly found a casting sheet that lists “Edward Nygma.” It’s total bullshit, but, you’ve got to love the internet’s inability to let things die.
Local Cleveland news stationNews Net 5(viaCBM) reports from the Cleveland set ofThe Avengers.Nothing ground breaking here but they do a good job at covering what’s going on and showing how the locals are reacting to it.
Comic Book Moviehas a bunch of photos from the above Cleveland set ofThe Avengers.Mass destruction ensues. This is just one example.
Staying onThe Avengers,Kotaku(viaCBM) reports that THQ has reportedly cancelled plans to make a video game based on the Marvel superhero team up.
Bane is on the jumbotron!CBMgot a bunch of addition photos from the Heinz FieldDark Knight Risesshoot this weekend including the Tumblers that were there andTom Hardyjoking around, as Bane, on the jumbotron.
