Because breakfast needs a hero, meet The Crunchy Nut. He's Kellog's mascot for Crunchy Nut cereal, who you may have seen bust his sweet dance moves on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He's also been seen stopping traffic in Los Angeles making a scene and generally championing the cause of breakfast.

Read The 'Harvey Dent Act' From The Dark Knight Rises

Kinda draconian law, there. Not unlike our real-life Gotham, New York City. Of course, where Gotham is going after supervillains and their financiers, NYC is focused on protestors, minorities and, um, 20-ounce sugary beverages. Anyway, had the Dent Act been a resounding success I don't think that Bane would be coming to town, so I'm sure that it's failure is going to be part of the story of The Dark Knight Rises.

Alan Moore Making Short Films

It's a popular misconception that Alan Moore isn't a fan of movies - the thing is, he's been very uncomfortable with Warner Bros. adaptations of his comics work, which is a far cry from having a problem with the medium itself. In fact, it's been announced that Moore will be working with director Mitch Jenkins on a series of short films.

Writer Alan Moore - best known for his groundbreaking graphic novels, which include; "The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen", "From Hell", "V For Vendetta" and "Watchmen" - and director Mitch Jenkins are making a series of short films. Produced by Lex in association with The Creators Project, the occult, noir flecked pieces are Moore’s first work written specifically for the screen and made with his ongoing creative involvement.

The first installment, entitled "Act of Faith", stars Siobhan Hewlett ("Sherlock", "Hotel Babylon", "Torchwood") and was recently shot in London. The second, "Jimmy’s End", will be filmed in Northampton later this summer.

Originally intended as a brief ten-minute, one-off piece, the project has evolved into a multi-layered, multi-episode narrative created by Moore and brought to life by Jenkins. The working title for the overall series is "Show Pieces".

"Act of Faith" and "Jimmy’s End" will be premiered at The Creator’s Project New York event in October 2012, then released via TheCreatorsProject.com, Vice and Intel's digital arts platform featuring original programming from leading filmmakers, musicians, artists and designers.

Team Fortress 2 Crew As The Avengers

I really hope some enterprising designer turns this awesome, uncredited Avengers art into TF2 skins. Yet, I suspect it's more likely that a few tumblr pals of mine are going to turn this into super-nasty porn. Either way, have fun.
