    I have an answer for this, though it surely isn't correct, and it damn well isn't appropriate.

    Nothing

    Who is that man?
    My reflection (already guessed sorta)

    Two brothers we are, great burdens we bear, all day we are bitterly pressed; Yet this I will say - we are full all the day, and empty when we go to rest.

    Sorry DrumThumper, you got the answer to your own riddle wrong.
    The correct answer is "my son".
    There are about a dozen of these and you either put in an extra word or left one out...

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man's son is my son.
    I am "This Man".

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man's father's son is my father's son.
    I am "This Man".

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man is my son.
    "This Man" is my son.

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man's father is my son.
    "This Man" is my grandson.

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man is my fathers son.
    I am "This Man".

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man's father is my father's son.
    "This Man" is my son.

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man's son is my father's son.
    "This Man" is my father.

    Brothers and sisters have I none,
    but this man's father's son is my son.
    "This Man" is my son.

    Write it out on paper, etc, and you'll see your mistake.

    Here's the answer from my source:

    I am my fathers son, so that mans father.

    Which leads me to believe that the answer is me. Remember, it is from the riddler's point of view.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Although...your answer seems to fit as well.

    And sorta off topic; RE: the Adult Swim commercial. I see it too. And if it's what I think it is...then kudos to the creators of that ad lol. Looks like a profile shot of a woman.
