The folks at FilmDrunk.com mention that one true measure of a pop culture phenomenon is the number of speculative and information-free news stories about it. Case in point: The Dark Knight. Yahoo Buzz, for instance, has this impressive wrapup of the next villain Batman will battle - don't worry, it's totally substantive:
iVillage is reporting that the Caped Crusader may take on the Riddler in "Batman 3." According to the rumor mill, Johnny Depp might sign on to play the nefarious super-criminal. But caveat emptor—this could be just as false as the one about Crispin Glover playing the Joker.
Slashfilm notes that there are additional possibilities floating around. For instance, Phillip Seymour Hoffman may play the Penguin or Angelina Jolie could don Catwoman's skin-tight suit.
Still, the "official" rumor mill is just one of the ways superfans are checking in on the next Batman flick. Many seek the scoop themselves. We've noticed impressive searches on "batman 3 rumors," "dark knight sequel casting rumors," and "batman's next villain."
Doesn't matter. I still haven't seen the Goddamn Batman.
