Bat Crap - The Latest from Gotham City

The next Batman installment is alive and kicking—definitely. We already mentioned today certain Warners sources are leaking to us that Rachel Weisz is being considered for the Catwoman role, too fab. But Warners officially isn’t saying bubkes. But other insiders working on the next installment, to follow up where The Dark Knight left off, say it’s all so a go:

Despite some recent interviews in which he down-played the possibility of returning as director again, Christopher Nolan (who helmed Knight) will for sure be back directing the third flick, we’re assured by a production mole. Christian Bale will obviously rejoin his director pal, and we’re very pleased to report that he’ll be playing a “sexier” Bruce Wayne. This is heaven-sent news, as, let’s face it, Bale couldn’t have looked any more constipated in that last flick.

Last time we checked in on Stephen King’s ten favorite films of the year, it was 2006 and we found titles like Waist Deep (?) and Snakes on a Plane. Okay, so maybe the legendary author didn’t watch many films that year — but here we are two years later, King once again dished out a top ten for Entertainment Weekly, and so maybe he’s managed to see a bit more. Check out King’s list below, with brief quotes from him for each — then read the rest over at EW.

1. The Dark Knight — “The best superhero movie ever. This is to cape-and-tights movies what Godfather II was to the gangster movie: a genre-defining event.”
2. Slumdog Millionaire — “It’s been years since the movies have produced such an affecting story about the power of friendship.”
3. WALL-E — “I don’t think it deserves a Best Picture Academy Award, but it certainly deserves to be nominated.”
4. Tropic Thunder — “The funniest, most daring comedy of the year.”
5. Funny Games — “It works as a savage parody of the snuff-porn genre even as it transcends it.”
6. The Bank Job — “High-tension cerebral thrills.”
7. Lakeview Terrace — “Jackson’s performance deserves an Academy Award nod, but won’t get one. Too bad.”
8. The Ruins — “It could have been ludicrous. Instead, it’s unrelenting.”
9. Redbelt — “… this is not your father’s Karate Kid.”
10. Death Race — “Death Race is filled with laconic violence and blasting muscle cars, but just beneath the surface is a biting satire of reality TV.”

The sun report!! i don’t think this is serious..probably a very bad joke!
