It's like a heaven sandwich

I don't know how many people know this, but as a youngster I was obsessed with Batman. The movies, the animated series, the complexity of the character. I just dug it all. I loved Burton's vision, loathed Schumacher’s versions and rekindled my passion with Nolan's reboot.

Everyone’s already heard that The Joker will be the main villain in the sequel, The Dark Knight, and any Bat-fan worth his salt knows that The Joker's main squeeze is the irrepressible Harley Quinn, one of my favorite Bat characters in existence. But it's a tough role to play. Yes, Harley’s a psychotic lunatic, however she is in total control of her lunacy and that's a tough line to straddle. Well, today comes word that the woman stepping into the red and black jumpsuit (please keep this look!) might very well be Sarah Michelle Gellar!

This is a brilliant move for SMG for the following reasons. Sarah is a great actress but lately, the schlock that she's been starring in (Grudge, The Return, Scooby-Doo) does not do her justice. In fact, the last great role she had was in Cruel Intentions and Harley Quinn would tap in to a bit of the bitchiness that made her character Catherine so fantastic in that film. Additionally, playing the villain is always better than playing the standard girlfriend role, which one would assume SMG would be more inclined to play. So kudos to her for making the daring choice and please let this rumor turn out to be true!
