Meeting Our Cultural Overlords at Comic-Con

By the way, if you prefer to escape the limiting Superman/Batman dichotomy, you can always look abroad to meet your superhero needs. Brits, for instance, tend to eschew all the big muscles, ridiculous costumes, and physical feats, preferring a rather brainier brand of idol. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Who both sport average-looking physiques, superhuman intellects, and dry senses of humor. Which may well be your cup of tea with milk, but may also be just a tad subtle for the mainstream American palate. I spotted Matt Smith, the current star of the BBC's Dr. Who TV series, rolling through San Diego's Gaslamp district in a pedicab this evening, accompanied by a film crew. A pair of drunk Comic-Con attendees standing on a corner recognized him?and his swoopy haircut. "Hey, Justin Bieber," the nerd aggressors taunted, "we love your music!"
