That's an article about the attempt before it happened, as it is currently still underway, but I just saw live on TV that we have broken it. Yep, they actually show that kind of thing live on TV here.

There was some footage of the crowd, it was mainly Batman and Supermans, although I was pleasantly surprised to see a little Hit-Girl in the crowd.

Or you know, there's always...

Interesting read. I think a film about these women, in this time period would be awesome.
