Glen Hansard, Charlie Bird and The Mammy... the Irish superheroes
IT’S BEEN REVEALED that Superman and Batman are set to be united on the big screen in a super superhero amalgamation.
“Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con at the weekend to announce he is making another Superman film and it will include the caped crusader.
It is of course exiting times on the superhero front, but what about the masked wonders closer to home… our own Irish superheroes?

The Irish Mammy
She is the superhero of multitasking, giving out without actually giving out, brandishing a wooden spoon in a menacing manner, making a bloody great dinner, administering comfort etc ect.
Irish mammy to the rescue!
Phew!
Charlie Bird
Will we ever forget the time we tracked down former Anglo Irish Bank Chief Executive David Drumm and spotted him hiding in his own house:
And of course there was the time he went to the North Pole, and survived.
