So how many of you made it out to see the Dark Knight this weekend?? Apparently a lot of you, since the film made an UNBELIEVABLE $155.34 million over the weekend!! That is pretty much unheard of these days, but I'm not surprised, granted the hype around it (and the fact that it is obviously just an amazing movie all around). I am ashamed to say I haven't seen it yet, so don't spoil it for me or anyone else!
In honor of the new Batman flick, PETA, one of our awesome causes, made an interesting list - the Top 10 Animal-Friendly Superheroes! I'm all over this, since I am the ultimate animal lover.
EDIT!! PETA updated their list because apparently there was a controversial scene with some canines..... so here we have the new, and improved list.
10. Hellboy—This superhero may be someone that would make you cross the street if he came your way (the red skin and horns might be a bit intimidating), but he's just a big teddy bear with a love for kittens (and many successful attempts to save them).
9. Aquaman—The King of Atlantis, Aquaman can commune with sea creatures, whom he considers citizens of his ocean realm, and routinely protects them from being abused or exploited by the surface-dwellers.

8. Black Panther—As the leader of the African nation of Wakanda, the Black Panther has banned the evil White Gorilla Cult from his country. Members of the cult seek to gain power by killing one of Wakanda's rare white gorillas, bathing in their blood, and eating their flesh (um, gross). The villain known as Man-Ape gained his superpowers by doing exactly that—incurring the wrath of the Black Panther and becoming one of his greatest foes.
7. Superman—In a one-shot "PSA comic" entitled "Superman: For the Animals," Supes rescues a kitten from being thrown off a bridge by a group of kids named (seriously) Ballser, Charlie, Donuts, and Eightball and, in the process, teaches everyone a valuable lesson about not picking on anyone weaker than you—including animals.

7. Captain Planet—He just wants to save the planet from the evil Captain Pollution! And that, of course, includes all our wildlife friends who live there. Point of fact, though: "Heart"? NOT an element.
Want more? For the rest of the list, cruise on over to PETA's blog to find out who took the top spot.
Soooo what did you think of the movie?? And who is your favorite animal-friendly superhero???
