SDCC Blog reader Pat Loika sent us some pics he took showing the Comic-Con banners are up throughout San Diego. And they’re promoting Real Steel, the Dreamworks movie starring Hugh Jackman hitting theaters in October.

Hmmm…Dreamworks has been rumored to be largely sitting out of this year’s con, so why promote a movie so heavily when people won’t even be able to hear about it? We’ve heard an offsite promotional event is a likely surprise. Stay tuned for more information as we receive it.

And thanks Pat for the pics!
