The Dark Knight

I've held off talking about The Dark Knight, mostly because I don't really have anything more to add to the conversation. You might've heard it's brilliant, and has knocked over ten straight box office records like bowling pins. This is all true.

In post-flick conversation, Vik brought up a harrowing notion: this movie is impossible to follow. I'm sure the WB execs are clutching their stomachs with one hand while they pop champagne with the other.

Because it's impossible that a movie this successful will not have a sequel. But this picture is so good, it's already turned up to 11. And Heath is gone. How do you top that, to give the audience even more than the last one? How do you find actors willing to take on that thankless task?

It's a catch-22. But I think I have an idea.

What if they get all of the people who have played Batman in the past to return, but this time as villains? It'll be Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney and West versus Bale.
