Now that the damn Kryptonian underwear model is out of the way its time to turn to news on the fetishist superheroes - you know, the ones that dresses in black rubber or colourful lycra tights that can shoot silly string in order to compensate for their failed attempts at romance. Yes we're talking about that playboy millionaire Bruce Wayne who beds a new woman every other night but whose life partners seem to be a fussy old man and several young boys with gymnastic skills. Don't even get me started on that Peter Parker, there's a ton of women out there who'd bed a superhero and he pines for a cosmetics model who only puts out if the guy is hanging from the rafters and covers his face. Batman Begins...Again Batman On Film has landed an interesting rumour in regards to Bat-villains appearing in future sequels to this coming reinvention of the franchise. Whilst "Batman Begins" contains The Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul, two villains previously only seen in the comics and on the animated show, the sequels are expected to include some more pop culturally familiar Bat baddies. Here's a look: "So the question on everyone's mind is who the hell is going to be the villain? The Joker seems to be the obvious choice, but it could turn out to be another character. And according to our sources, the powers-that-be have already been discussing it. Jude Law (?), Guy Pearce (Harvey Dent/Two-Face), Steve Buscemi (The Joker), Robin Williams (The Riddler) and several British actors have been mentioned". Pearce was mention for the Dent role for 'Begins' a while back, Steve Buscemi was rumoured for "The Scarecrow" years ago, and Williams was in fact expected to be the 'Riddler' for "Batman Forever" til Jim Carrey landed the part. The report also indicates that while Bale, Oldman, and Caine are all signed for sequels (at least three films), Nolan is NOT. If a sequel is to go ahead, expect a 2008 release. E! Online has done a good compilation of the best rumours heard so far for the third "Spider-Man" film in a special column looking at the webslinger's attempts to make it onto the film and TV screens over the decades. Here's a quick summary to catch up on half a year's worth of talk: · Planned release date is May 4, 2007 · Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are on board · Harry Osborn might wear a lot of green · Eliza Dushku is rumored to be the favorite to play 'Black Cat' · Michael Chabon, David Koepp & Alfred Gough are listed as the writers · John Jameson might come back from space with an extra passenger Thanks to 'Shan' & 'Robert'
