A teaser for Christopher Nolan's Batman threequel 'The Dark Knight Rises' is expected to play before 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' on Friday, but that hasn't stopped the internet from leaking it a few days early.
The footage below is admittedly poor quality, so it's hard to pinpoint what exactly is going on. But from we can tell, we do get a few glimpses of Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) on a hospital bed, along with a very quick glimpse of Bane, played by 'Inception' hunk Tom Hardy.
Robert Downey Jr. is back for more zany adventures in 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows,' the sequel to the uber-popular 2009 action-comedy.
Based on the trailer, which hit the Internet on Tuesday, 'Shadows' looks to be even more action-packed than its predecessor, with guns, explosions and, um, Downey Jr. in drag.
Fans of Dolly Parton will have additional opportunities to see the country music legend as she tours in support of her critically acclaimed new album 'Better Day.' Parton has added a second U.S. leg to her tour and will perform at six venues in the south this fall.
The summer portion of Parton's tour kicks off in her home state of Tennessee on July 17 and concludes two-and-a-half weeks later in Georgia on August 3. During this leg, she'll perform for the very first time at the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles for two consecutive nights.

JaMichael Brown, nicknamed "The Moose" by hospital staff, was delivered by C-section (whew!) last Friday to Janet Johnson and her fiancé, Michael Brown. The tot now holds the title for the biggest infant ever born at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, Texas.
Attention, Major League Baseball. We may have just found your next great outfielder.

Warner Bros. on Monday released the first official poster for the highly anticipated 'Dark Knight Rises,' the long-awaited sequel to 2008's Oscar-winning Batman movie, 'The Dark Knight.'
The poster doesn't reveal too much; only the famous Batman symbol is shown amidst an 'Inception'-esque row of buildings, that appear to be falling apart.
