Gosh! From [here](http://doctorhorrible.net/about/): > [@](#): > > During the WGA strike Joss Whedon started writing a three part musical series for the internet. Each of the three episodes will be approximately ten minutes each. “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” will star Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.” I wonder when we get to see it? ---

I’ve been looking forward to this ever since I first heard about it. I love superheroes and musicals, and there’s nobody better than Joss Whedon to combine the two, especially with two such great actors as Nathan Fillion and The NPH. ---

Sounds like a parody in the vein of [Sam Plenty’s Calvacade of Action Plus Singing](http://www.samplenty.com), only with superheroes instead of cowboys. Neil Patrick Harris as a supervillain? I’m sold already.
