But in all seriousness, this cosplay is absolutely epic. It will be interesting to see if DC will meet or exceed the standards set by Leto’s Supergirl cosplay....

Despite this, it is an unnerving scene that comes full circle in a subtle moment in the pivotal Black Gate scene inThe Return of the King,one of thebest scenes inLord of the Rings....
