A report on film website Latino Review, which was first to break the news that Brandon Routh would star in the latest Superman flick, says it has been informed by a "very trusted source" that the Australian heart-throb has been offered the role of The Joker in the sequel to Batman Begins.
Ledger follows Robin Williams and Mark Hamill as actors rumoured to reprise the role that Jack Nicholson played in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman feature. But the idea of the 27-year-old playing The Joker has some movie critics scratching their heads."Ledger seems spectacularly unsuited to the weirdness of The Joker," writes Josh Tyler on the Cinema Blend website. "If you’re casting Ledger in a Batman movie, I’d start by considering him for Robin, not the caped crusader’s most lunatic villain.
