Add to that his billions of guest star appearances and the guy was everything you would look for in a major TV star. So with that being said I figured I’d take a look at the 5 most awesome things from Sherman’s career.

Synopsis: It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

Trailer of the Day: The Walking Dead Season 3

Those cleaning out the prison scenes look intense. Michonne looks badass. My misgivings about the casting of the Governor have been eased somewhat. Herschel looks good all scruffy. Carl seems to have skipped right over his tween years and looks old enough to drive. Lori needs to die. T-Dogg had nothing to say in the entire 4 minute trailer.
