The Dark Knight casting officially announced!

Heath Ledger, the whiley Australian who almost won an Oscar playing a gay, has been announced to be playing the Joker in the Batman Begins sequel, appropriately titled The Dark Knight.

This is interesting, but he's got the acting chops to do anything he wants (please ignore A Knight's Tale or The Order... or any movie he did with Mark Addy and Shannon Sossaman) and really just focus on Brokeback Mountain, and he should be fine.

What next? Tobie McGuire came back from injury cause Gyllenhaal was going to replace him on Spiderman, and Topher Grace is playing the counterpart to McGuire's Peter, Eddie Brock AKA Venom, so Jakie boy better hurry or all the good comic book characters are going to be taken. He might have to just settle and be the star in the remake of Tank Girl Gurl.
