\’We’ll just come out and say it: the following report stinks like so much bullshit that we have to hold our noses while typing… \’ very funny. who is writing your leads? Davis Stern this blog and create some superstars already. lol.

I think a Batman sketch comedy show based of the Batman from Zur- En- Arrh would be a better idea.

The Joker is an icon, arguably the most famous fictional villain in modern history. He does not belong to Heath Ledger anymore than he belongs to Jack Nicholson, Cesar Romero, or Mark Hamill. If someone else wants to take a crack at the character in a different film series or a television series, have at it.

The story is extremely far-fetched, but the concept of a returning Joker is not. I\’ve heard, on various occasions, that the concept of turning the Joker into an anarchy icon a\’la V For Vendetta, with anyone and everyone assuming the identity, is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Now, do I like that idea? No. When someone finally nails a character down such as Ledger did with the Joker, you should at least offer a couple decades up as a buffer before you \”reboot\” (gag). That \”asset\” mentality has seized the studios so much that, while it would be at the least highly distasteful, WB sees an asset going to languish.
