Steelers' Hines Ward had a 'blast' with 'Dark Knight' role - USA TODAY

The latest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is out, and (surprise!) Hines Ward is involved.
We did a little digging, and found out that other Pittsburgh Steelers greats including Ben Roethlisberger and ex-coach Bill Cowher are in the movie too.

Apparently they're on some XFL franken-team called the Gotham Rogues.

The scene — which was filmed at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field — features Ward running toward the endzone while the field explodes and gobbles up defenders behind him.

It looks pretty cool, but Hines Ward out-running an NFL-caliber defensive back at age 35 might be the most unrealistic plot point in the history of cinema.

Here's the trailer (the Ward bit comes at 1:18 or so):
