News & Notes

Just two links today:

• MTV asks some Batman comic writers who the next villain should be (most seem to like Catwoman).


• Ain't It Cool News has an article crapping all over the rumor mill.

The Ain't It Cool article is right on, in terms of taking any rumored casting seriously. I link to rumors and talk about them, but they really don't mean a thing. Adrian Brody and Paul Bettany were the big rumors circling for the Joker, and we know how accurate they were. So when I talk about Angelina Jolie as Catwoman or Johnny Depp as the Riddler, it's just for the fun of imagining them in the part (and also because this blog has a very narrow focus and I'll run out of material if I do nothing but plow through villains).
