Batman And Superman Team Up For "Man Of Steel" Sequel
Warner Bros. just made DC Comics best bromance official at Comic-Con.
SAN DIEGO — Aiming to claim the big moment at Comic-Con International 2013, Warner Bros. officially announced that the Man of Steel sequel will be Superman & Batman.
A fan-made mock-up of a Batman & Superman poster
As the panel was wrapping up, Man of Steel director Zack Snyder took the stage to confirm the Superman sequel. Despite rumors to the contrary, there was no mention of a Flash or Justice League movie. Snyder also failed to address the question of who would be stepping into Bruce Wayne's shoes since Christian Bale supposedly has hung up his cape.
Snyder was then joined by Man of Steel actor Harry Lennix (General Swanwick) to read a statement in character:
I want you to remember, Clark. In all the years to come. In all your most private moments…I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you.
That was immediately followed by a reveal of the Batman/Superman combined logo.

Science Creates Self-Aware Drone Swarms
This will end well. A team of Swiss researchers have created the next generation of borderline science-fiction robot spies.
Source: youtube.com
Each Distributed Flight Array (DFA) consists of any number of quad-rotor drones. The autonomous robots are self-aware enough to find each other and form a swarm before taking to the air since no DFA can fly alone. With absolutely no central authority.
As they sync up into more and more complex shapes, each individual drone decides how best to help the team stay aloft. For example, in a T-shape, half the robots instinctively start their engines going clockwise -- and the other half counter-clockwise -- to lessen the torque.
In practice this mean the DFA can band together and then land in various locations to dislodge a single member of their swarm. Once on the ground, each drone has three omni-directional wheels to keep it going no matter the terrain.

Here we see the DFA Swarm aligning into a flight pattern.
Surely they are flying off on a mission of mercy.

6 Exoplanets Humanity Could ALMOST Colonize
Finding a new Earth is hard. These contenders were so close, but sadly humans cannot live on molten lava or plasma water…yet.
HD 189733b aka "The Trickster"
Distance from Earth: 63 light-years.
Deal breaker: Despite being the first exoplanet astronomer's have determined the true color of -- using the Telescope Imaging Spectrograph to measure changes in the color of light from the planet before, during and after a pass behind its star this is no Earth-2 -- this is a no go. The blue color comes not from the reflection of water, but an atmosphere of silicate particles. Combined with temps of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, it possibly rains glass -- sideways -- through 4,500-mph winds.

Fomalhaut b aka "The Ninja"
Distance from Earth: 25 light-years.
Deal breaker: Considered a rogue planet, it has an elliptical orbit that takes about 2,000 years to complete. No big deal, except it is continuously traveling through a huge cloud of debris surrounding its star, making it difficult for astronomers to see, but more importantly meaning huge chunks of ice rock pelt the surface in a never-ending barrage.
Via: ESA; Hubble, M. Kornmesser; and ESO, L. Calçada and L. L. Christensen
UCF-1.01 aka "The Hot Potato"
Distance from Earth: 33 light-years
Deal breaker: At just two-thirds the size of Earth, it is one of the smallest exoplanets ever discovered. However, it's hanging out so close to its star that, should it be made of the same composition as our home planet, the ground is literally hot lava. Hot molten lava that burns.

HD 209458b aka "The Steam Room"
Distance from Earth: 150 light-years
Deal breaker With its impressive tail, this dying planet appears more like a comet. In reality, it is the first of a purposed new class of dead planets -- called chthonian planets -- where the atmosphere is evaporating at such a rate to be seen from space. In this case hydrogen and oxygen are being ripped from their planet at almost 22,000 mph in temperatures exceeding 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Awesome to look at, not to live on.
