I’m a proud member of the Colbert Nation, and I found this segment from “Tip of the Hat/ Wag of the Finger” pretty funny. It explains why Henry Cavill should not be allowed to play Superman.

Now I really hope DC creates a character called Smashin’ Gent. And this might be the only video in history where you can see Alfred compared to Tony Blair, which caused even poor Stephen to break character.

Thanks, Mom!! He's the husband of the world's hottest Trekkie/Whovian, and father of a perfect five year old girl who likes to make up songs about Captain America. We also have two twins, who are more interested in learning how to walk and talk then comics. But we love them anyway.
