One of the coolest things about the Blu-ray takeover is BD-Live, which allows you do cool stuff like watch movies while recording your own commentary track — I've done The Dark Knight with my nearest and dearest and confirm its awesomeness. For the Watchmen's Blu-ray release, it'll also get a revolutionary welcome on social network site Facebook. The Blu-ray discs will capitalize on the BD-Live Read more

Admittedly, I don't know much about superhero movies . . . but I know quite a bit about super cute smooshies.
