The armies of evil look like Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still painted red and sporting fins, and we love the pre-packaged versions of them lined up behind the two evils. They look like something you might find in a toy store in the action figures aisle. However, it's the androidical sidekick who steals the entire commercial. From his excitement over War Kittens, to the way he "accidentally" blows up the space station in the background and says "Oops," we need more bad guys like this.

These crimfighters have their own MySpace pages, an online costume shop that builds their custom wear (whatever happened to people sewing it themselves, like Spidey did?), and are seriously into the gig, including the long hours of doing nothing. Like "Superhero" who patrols the highways of Florida in his 1975 Corvette, ""What I do is 80% boredom punctuated by 15% helping and 5% terror."

So you've got your crazy characters who try to fight crime on their own, deluded by the existence of comic books and heroes in the movies. Give them sort sort of baddie to go up against, like the couple who were inspired to become criminals by their goth books, have them go toe to toe. In the end, someone learns a heartwarming lesson about life, and that everyone is a hero on the inside, yadda yadda yadda, and bang, there's your movie.

Actually, we're surprised none of these people have ended up dead in an alley somewhere and splashed on the local news. Then the studios and comic book publisher could just brace themselves for the slew of lawsuits that would inevitably pop up with people saying, "Gee, Batman did it in a movie, so I copied him and lost my arm in the process! You owe me a million bucks!" So beat 'em to the punch already, Hollywood. Put them in your movie.

I actually had quite a bit of time off between scenes — weeks sometimes. But it was required because whenever I was working, it exhausted me to the bone. At the end of the day, I couldn't move. I couldn't talk. I was absolutely wrecked. If I had to do that every day, I couldn't have done what I did. The schedule really permitted me to exhaust myself.

In another recent interview, Ledger said he locked himself in a hotel room for six weeks beforehand, just to prepare for the role. Ledger's crazy talk could just be method-actorly hyperboly, but it's just psychotic enough to make me really want to see the Dark Knight.
