The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The Tattoo is a world-famous annual visitor attraction, featuring military bands from all over the world.  This year, the theme coincided with the Queen's diamond jubilee.  It featured a drum corps from Switzerland, the Norwegian King's Guard, the US Naval band in a tribute to superheroes (including my favorite), the Australian military, and of course lots and lots of bagpipes!  We hear the fighter jets and fireworks from the show every night, so it was great to finally see what it was all about.  I felt like this was Scotland giving us a grand send-off, as Mandi and I only have a few more weeks here in Edinburgh. 

This video is quite long, so feel free to skim.  The tribute to comic books begins at 9:00, and Superman starts at 11:20 (I know that's what you came here to see). Don't forget to watch in HD!
