<p>Don't you just hate it when you click through a misleading headline? Someone at the Vatican certainly feels that way today. The AP <a href="http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/aa9398e6757a46fa93ed5dea7bd3729e/Article_2013-03-21-Vatican-Hacked/id-1ef11089e84a4e71939be7fb9ef8b64a">reports </a>that on Thursday, the Vatican's primary Twitter account tweeted out a story about Batman. But for once, it wasn't the work of Guccifer:<!--more--></p>
<blockquote><p>"Two Vatican officials said the site hadn't been hacked, and that the reason for the unusual posting was an 'internal system failure' due to a non-native English speaker posting the story on the website.</p>
<p>The story was from the Catholic News Service. It has as its headline: "Holy Switcheroo! Batman has grown bitter, more vengeful with the years" and details the evolution of the Batman comic franchise."</p></blockquote>
<p>Someone at the Vatican's communications site cross-posted the article, presumably thinking it was relevant to the election of a new pope, and it was automatically tweeted upon publication.</p>
<p>The bigger question is why the Catholic News Services thinks it's news that Batman has gotten grittier. We all saw <em>The Dark Knight Rises </em>last summer, dudes. <em><br />
