It has been confirmed - Heath Ledger (from Brokeback Mountain) will be starring in "The Dark Knight" (sequel to Batman Begins) as The Joker. Although I have no preference as to who I think would make the perfect Joker - I just want the movie to be damn good. Reports indicate that filming expected to begin in early 2007. Can't wait!

The Batman VS The Joker

Now - this post is mainly going to be about upcoming movies. Manage to dig up some information about another movie that I'm anticipating - "Spider-Man 3"

I guess you can't really call it new information - new pictures would be more accurate. If you haven't seen the trailers or read about it yet (shame on you!) - here's the rundown. "Spider-Man 3" supposedly has him facing off against 4 villains! The trailer already shows Sandman in CGI thrashing New York. The highlight of "Spider-Man 3" would actually be the appearance of Venom. In the comics, Spider-Man brought back an alien suit that bonded with him to create the black-costumed Spider-Man. Its actually said that we won't actually get to see Venom in the movie until the very end, an only a short glimpse. I guess we have to wait until "Spider-Man 4" then. Here are some nice photos I managed to come across.

Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) with the new Black Suit


Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) turning into Venom (???)

The old teaser poster where people thought it was a black and white shot of Spider-Man. But its not and this was when the black costume was hinted at and the possibility of the appearance of Venom at that time.

There were also reports of a new poster that's out in the USA. They call it "lenticular posters". Apparently, the image changes depending on which angle you look at it from.

I came across this picture below previously and thought nothing of it. Could it be the "lenticular poster" that they're talking about?

Then I noticed that the the spider-logo is distorted in the black parts of the suit. If you note the spider's legs, they've become more distorted. Comic readers will know that when the alien symbiote bonds with the host, they are "transformed".

I wonder if this poster will be for sale - it would be an awesome looking poster. Very nice!
