I'd love to tell you Pittsburgh Steelers QB has fulfilled his destiny and become a Batman villain in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. But alas, he's just going to play a quarterback.

Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, Willie Colon and Maurkice Pouncey will all be making cameos in the film as members of the Gotham pro football team. The scene was shot today at Heinz Field.

â†µ "From what I've heard, it's going to be like a pre-game, warming-up type thing,'' Roethlisberger said. "I don't know the whole concept. There's a Gotham team, a football game. We'll be wearing uniforms." â†µ

Method actors that they are, the four Steelers spent all last season preparing for the role. Like any good Batman villain they dominated the entire time until the final scene when the good guys finally triumphed over evil.

My favorite part of the whole story? According to Wikipedia, the name of Ben Roethlisberger's team is the Gotham City Rogues. Well played, Christopher Nolan.
