At the San Diego Comic Con, Warner Bros. gave out canvas bags that were so large, I, only slightly exaggerating, said "it’s nice of Warners to give everyone sleeping bags." For some of the people carrying them, they could have been. They’re gigantic. Larger by far than any canvas bag you’ve ever seen. ICv2.com is…
