Who knew geeking out could be so tiring. The first full day of Comic-Con is over, and our legs are already worn out. But before we collapse in fatigue, we wanted to share with your some more awesome sights from the show floor. We spotted hundreds of cosplayers (don't worry, we'll be posting photos of them ALL after the event), B and C-grade celebrities (Captain Sisko from Deep Space Nine!), and even some surprise announcements from the movie presentations (Tron 2 is in the works, starring Jeff Bridges). Some quick impressions of the Max Payne footage shown today at the 20th Century Fox panel: the movie looks like it's taking the story seriously, and bullet-time shots are definitely different from what you've seen in the Matrix or John Woo films. The film apparently utilizes a camera that can shoot at 1000 frames per second -- one scene we saw slowed the firing of a single shot down to over half a minute. Another big surprise from that panel: Hugh Jackman made an unannounced appearance to show off the first footage from the Gavid Hood directed Wolverine movie. Gambit and Deadpool are confirmed to appear. Awesome!

 Jame Bond's Aston Martin. Looks cool on film, and even more awesome in person. We tried to lick it, but Sony's goons intercepted too quickly. Maybe tomorrow. 

One thing we noticed is that cosplayers tend to stick to the booths that feature their character inspirations. The DC Comics booth, for example, was swarmed with Batmen, Jokers, and Supermen.

 Cory Feldman! This half of the Cory duo appeared at the WB booth for a signing session to promote the Lost Boys 2 movie. 

 The original Batcycle. Not quite the Bat-Pod that's in the new film, but it sure looks like it's a more comfortable ride. 

 Woohoo! A Team Fortress 2 costume! This guy was actually a little surprised that anyone recognized who he was dressed as.

 A gathering of Ghostbusters. Statistically, streams are likely to cross.
