    OMG! I am so happy about this. I love Joss Whedon, NPH and Nathan Fallon. This should be good. I can’t wait!

    I love the write up via slashfilm:

    Neil Patrick Harris stars as the title character, a low-rent supervillain who’s trying to impress the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to (Felicia Day of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), defeat his nemesis, superhero Captain Hammer (played by Firefly’s Nathan Fillion) and gain entry into the Evil League of Evil.
