Okay, with the emergence of "The Nerd Word" and other such blogs, I think it's time I demonstrated my nerdiness for the first time. So, is anyone else really excited about the next Batman movie? Coming out this summer, and simply titled "The Dark Knight," this movie will be a direct sequel to 2005's "Batman Begins." For anyone who really loved "Batman Begins", this movie will probably be the movie to see this summer. Here's what we know about the movie so far:
-Most of the main cast from "Batman Begins" will be returning, including Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman as Comissioner Gordon, and Michael Caine as Alfred. The only person who won't be returning will be Katie Holmes; the Rachel Dawes character will instead be portrayed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
-The villains of the film will be Harvey Dent/Two-Face, played by Aaron Eckhart (Dent is confirmed to become Two-Face in this movie), and (insert drum roll here)...... the Joker! YES! The Joker will be played by Heath Ledger.
-As far as plot points go:
*Bruce Wayne is moving into a downtown penthouse, since his manor burned down.
*Harvey Dent will become District Attorney, and a love triangle will develop between him, Batman, and Assistant DA Rachel Dawes.
*It is rumored that the Scarecrow will return, but I haven't seen any confirmation. Since he got away at the end of the first movie, it would make sense if he returned, but since having three villains is what weighed down "Spider-Man 3", it's pretty unlikely.
*Batman, Gordon, and Dent will work together to stop crime, similar to how they did in "Batman: The Long Halloween" (read it). This alliance will fall apart with Dent's transformation into Two-Face, which is rumored to be caused by the Joker.
*The Joker will not be like Jack Nicholson's goofy Joker in the original 80s film. Instead, he will be, as Ledger says, "a psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy". Producers have confirmed that he will be more about anarchy and destruction than joy-buzzers and Joker-Fish.
*After Batman took down mafia boss Falcone in "Batman Begins", a power vaccum is left. The Joker is rumored to take advantage of this, and possibly gain a mass following in Gotham's criminal element.
*The Joker is most likely going to attack Rachel to get at Batman. There is footage of this in the trailers, as well as Gyllenhaal describing her character as a "damsel in distress."
Looks to be a great movie. BEAT THAT, BOOTS!
Just in: found out Heath Ledger was found dead today. That really sucks. Movie's already finished, but still, that sucks.

and plz check out my new blog.
In the newly added section at the bottom of my page, titled "Rules/Sucks," I note that the new release date of Super Smash Bros Brawl (after two freaking delays!) is March 9, 2008. Hopefully there won't be another delay. I see you got your previous avatar, Kirby, from the super smash bros website.
I believe the current price of a Wii is around $250, but I could be wrong.
They were filming that in Chicago, you know...
Also, that Joker is really quite creepy. It makes it a lot more realistic, though.
Yes, I believe the goal of the Joker this time around was to make him creepy, crazy, and realistic, rather than goofy.
I think they even blew up a building in downtown Chicago while filming.
in ur "sucks" column, it says you want to read a happy news article. think about it. does "boy eats his veggies" or "dude falls in love" really make an intriguing article?
PS- Big news! Tell 7/8 that I copied off them. Periods 2 and 9 are starting a rivalry. :D I am already spreading my knowledge from 7/8. I've taught them so much, but I still have the habit of calling Mr. H, Dr. H. Arggh!
PPS- I miss you guys! Sounds odd, but yes. Even Ben who teamed up with Mike A to hit my backpack today when I was talking to Harrison, Devin, Charles, and Mike.
Yeah, but I mean we never get news articles that are happy and intriguing. I mean, there are no "man saves five children from burning building" stories out there; only "20-year old movie star dies of overdose" or "vengeful ex-girlfriend murders man and girl." what's the deal? Does the world really suck that much?
Yeah, Dr. H told us about your attempted rivalry today.
you're taunting me w/ the dr. h add-in there. and on a scale of 1 to 10, (10 is a lot) how much did aly freak out today about my note to holly?
and its "28-year-old movie star dies of od." geez. since im taking journalistic writing, tho, i'll ask mr. scales about that.
Well, on a scale of 1 to 10, I would probably have to rate Ali's reaction as a 23. She just went beserk.
