The wait for Star Trek 2 is becoming unbearable. Two set photos showcasing Benedict Cumberbatch as a villainous character were posted online not too long ago and during a sketch at the MTV Movie Awards, we got our first look at the film. It's unfinished, but it's our first look alright.

Since the first full trailer for The Dark Knight Rises was released in December, there's been several hints that Christopher Nolan will finally kill off Batman in the film. In said trailer, Bane, the film's villain, says the following chilling line: " When Gotham is in ashes, you have my permission to die." 4 months later, the final trailer for the film was released, where Catwoman tells Batman, "You don't owe these people anymore. You've given them everything." Batman responds, "Not everything... not yet."
