Oh no! Batman might get teh ghey on him!
So it's been announced that Heath Ledger has been offered the part of The Joker in the new Batman Begins Sequel. Not surprisingly, with a somewhat left-field choice, people seem to be a bit wanky over it. Some are caught up on Ledger's Brokeback Mountain role and are afraid teh ghey will leak into Batman and eat their minds... or something. There are some good examples here at digg.



ihateall:Ummmm, a gay joker, I hope batman uses a chastity belt for his utility belt.
No tents allowed in the filming area

pantukyBatman has to face a Brokeback Mountain gay cowboy Joker in the next episode? Batman better watch his ass! He needs to hang a no-entry sign about mid-way down his cape.
ronaldstI never thought they'd put rednecks into Batman as main characters. But then it's hollywood after all... lol

Melioheath ledger used to be my wife's favorite male actor till he played a gay man in a film -
get this, she sais "if you even act gay, when you die, people still belive your gay even if your not"
Heath acted gay!
tdogg241He probably weighs the same as a duck too.
Hehe tdogg for the win.


As a bonus on digg, this was stated by SlashNot about IMDB:
Thats what I mean Dack, if its so fucking official IMDB would list it. They only list shit that is normally confirmed.
Yes, IMDB the source that is never wrong, and the boards there never bring the wank either! *snicker*

So what do the boards from this ulta-reliable source have to say?
There are calls for banning after this statement, "What is the world coming to? What`s next? A colored Harvey Dent?"
There are calls for lynching too!
With many related posts: I love our country! All i can talk about is gays and blacks!, So, All American, got a problem with 'coloreds'?

There's also this post, which creates this wonderful comment from Azbatz: This movie won't make as much as Batman Begins did because all the Pro-Bush Christian conservatives and I will rebuke this as Joel Schumacher Batman. Remember how much The Passion of the Christ made? Thanks to us... Maybe Nolan wasn't the right director for the sequel after all… Maybe they should have just brought in new villains not try and rehash old villains… I can’t believe that other Brokeback guy also playing Harvey Dent and everyone just taking down the throat…

There's even a good amount of tl;dr that just gets a bit confusing.

It just goes on and on...
