Jokebat Mountain?

Along with word of an unfortunately actioned-up Watchman script and news of some stranger-than-usual comic adaptations (The Doom Patrol? Frank Miller on Will Eisner's Spirit? Benico Del Toro's Deadman?), Latino Review -- the site that first announced Brandon Routh as Superman in 2004 -- discloses that Heath Ledger has an offer to play the Joker in Christopher Nolan's next Batman flick. Hmm. An interesting and slightly-out-of-left-field choice...He wouldn't have been one of my top picks for the part (Adrien Brody, Sam Rockwell, Paul Bettany, or how 'bout Ralph Reed?...His calendar's open), but he's definitely better than some names that were floating around (Crispin Glover, Robin Williams, Michael Keaton, Sean Penn.)
