Sounds like Christopher Nolan is getting his mind set for the next Dark Knight. The Batman director admitted that he had been jotting down ideas that haven't quite worked out yet and he's wary of the curse of the third film. "I don't know why they're hard to do," Nolan says. "Maybe there's so much expectation to them. But I wouldn't want to do one if it weren't going to be as good as the first or second. That's not respectful to the fans." Well Nolan old buddy, I'm glad your weighty seriousness hasn't lifted - TDK will be a tough act to follow.[USA Today] More »

But the best part of seeing someone dress up as a truly sinister character? How incredibly silly they seem dressed in that costume when the actual Joker was scary as hell. Let the Halloween Joker mockery begin. More »

If you’re not familiar with Brian Azzarello, the scribe behind DC’s new Joker comic, you can get all the information you need just from the name of his most notable work, 100 Bullets. Yes, the Azz is known for his liberal deployment of violence, and it’s a quality that befits this new graphic novel—one that conspicuously jumps off Heath Ledger’s chilling depiction of the supervillain-as-psycopath in this summer’s Dark Knight.
