News & Notes

Been sick as a dog, hence the lack of updates. I also missed a bunch of stuff earlier this week:

• First, Michael Caine said he talked to a Warner Bros. exec who confirmed the Johnny Depp/Riddler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman/Penguin rumors.


• Then Phillip Seymour Hoffman said no one had talked to him about it, and he's not even sure he'd do it if they asked him to.


• The Silver Age Comics blog has a Obscure Batman Villains quiz, which stumped me except for #1 and #2 (not profiled here... yet... or possibly ever). Answers here.


• Some guy drew a slick Joker and super evil looking Penguin.

The assassin poll is closed, apparently people really love Deadshot (65%), with Lady Shiva (17%) as the only other choice to get more than token support. I'll get a new poll up later this week.
