The latest glimpse at production on "The Dark Knight Rises" hit the Internet yesterday, and the speculation has already begun.

It's that time again, time to bring a bunch of people out on a national stage and judge them. No, I'm not talking about "American Idol." No, not "America's Got Talent" either. Not "The Biggest Loser." It's the "Miss USA" pageant, okay? Yeesh.
