The Joker is back in town, he’s sending out this text:

Hey clown! Long time, no crime spree! Well, put on your floppy shoes and answer this question: are you ready to get to work? (ReplyY/N)

Citizens For Batman

“Arrest Batman, but not yet” says the new issue of The Gotham Times. As expected, the city is split on opinion about our caped crusader. This is a website for the vigilante cause.

If you want to join them you can email them here: join@citizensforbatman.org, which leads to this response:

Dear Gotham Citizen,

Thanks for expressing your interest in joining Citizens for Batman. The easiest way you can join is by attending a meeting. Check the web site for meeting times. If you can’t attend, you can always lobby City Hall to support Batman and stop any talk of his being arrested.

Looking forward to seeing you,

SHH have had a short moment to talk with Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel Dawes in the Dark Knight) at ShoWest:

When asked about taking over from Katie Holmes,

“I think she’s a wonderful actress and I really admired the work that she did in the first Batman, but I don’t think it would have worked if I tried to imitate her. I think the only way to do it is to do it like myself,”

“They just (expect you to) suspend your disbelief, I’m Rachel Dawes now. I mean, how many Batmen have there been? Lots of them!”

Speaking about working on her first major blockbuster,

“I anticipated it was going to be much different than making a small movie, and in the end, it didn’t feel that way, and I think it was because I was working with really good actors like Gary Oldman and Michael Caine and Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger. It felt like making any other movie, and I think Chris Nolan has a lot to do with that, and also because he really likes and respects actors, so it felt like doing good scenes in any movie.”

And getting involved in the action…

“They took really good care of me. I thought I might get bruised up but in fact, I didn’t. They really knew what they were doing. I was scared to do some of the action stuff I had to do, and I did it once, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is a blast!’”

Thanks Austin!
