Alleged Plot Details from "Batman v. Superman"
Some supposed plot details from the upcoming "Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice" were revealed yesterday. We don't know if they're true, but we should note that some people might consider them SPOILERS.
The website Bad Ass Digest says that in the movie's timeline, Batman has been around for about 30 years, so he's in his 50s. But he's still an URBAN LEGEND, and despite years of crimefighting, nobody has even taken his picture.

Five TV Stars Who Had Richer Contracts Than the Ones "The Big Bang Theory" Cast Just Got
The three main stars from "The Big Bang Theory" . . . JIM PARSONS, JOHNNY GALECKI and KALEY CUOCO . . . are now raking in $1 million per episode. That's CRAZY, but it isn't unprecedented. Charlie Sheen, Ray Romano and Kelsey Grammer have all surpassed the $1 million mark, as has Tim Allen.

Ray Romano also made $1.8 million per episode in the final year of "Everybody Loves Raymond".
Kelsey Grammer pulled down about $1.6 million per episode for the final two seasons of "Frasier".
Tim Allen was making $1.25 million per episode for the final year of "Home Improvement".
Jerry Seinfeld maxed out at $1 million per episode on "Seinfeld", but he still continues to earn about $400 million a year in syndication royalties.
Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow all famously made $1 million per episode for the final two years of "Friends". But they have syndication royalties on top of that, too.
