The Joker Card Has Been Dealt

Although I should have gone to bed over an hour ago, I couldn't help but stay up and read a ton of news articles and low and behold I found out that not only is Christoper Nolan directing another Batman movie - pretty friggin sweet to know its 100% confirmed - and not only is it being named "The Dark Knight" - an homage to "The Dark Knight Returns" which, "along with Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' and Art Spiegelman's 'Maus,' helped to raise the medium to a more mature level of literature, and it ushered in the popularity of graphic novels as a form of literature that truly differs from "child-oriented comic books" - but that the new Joker character will be played by Heath Ledger. I also learned Bale (Batman) and Nolan are hooking up on a new movie called "The Prestige" which also stars Logan, aka Wolverine, aka Hugh Jackman. Talk about a cool Marvel/DC cross-over...

Okay, I am going to bed now because I'm defintely not going to find out anything better that this bit of news tonight. I might be dreaming of bats...and possibly Jack Nicholson, though I hope not...
