Plans to have Christian Bale, who plays Batman in The Dark Knight, was scheduled to perform a stunt where he jumps from the back of a Hercules C130 [a four-engine turboprop aircraft] into Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong. However an unnamed official with the production house said:

"When they checked a water sample, they found all sorts of things, salmonella, and tuberculosis, so it was canceled. Now the action will cut to inside a building."

Swimming in Victoria Harbor is not recommended to any one, not even Batman, as it has long been polluted by horrendous amounts of industrial runoff and residential sewage, WWF’s conservation director Andy Cornish said. I thought Batman had some sort of crap repellant that could keep him safe, but it looks like he wouldn’t be safe even with his rubber bat suit. It would suck to see Batman get killed off by water, rather than a legitimate villain like the joker, or the penguin.

Over the weekend Heath Ledger (the new joker in Batman) and Michelle Williams (long forgotten Dawson Creek star) ended their three-year relationship. The couple have a daughter, Mathilda. A source close to the couple says:

“It was rocky for awhile. They did what they could to make it work.”

Michelle did everything she could, she dyed her hair brown, cut it short, and dressed like a boy, but her gay cowboy still wasn’t satisfied.

Indie darling Maggie Gyllenhaal has made some comments that sound suspiciously like a Katie Holmes slam.

The two actresses bear a striking physical resemblance, which we’d never noticed before. And, though Gyllenhaal will be playing Rachel Dawes in "The Dark Knight," according to MSNBC, she says that marks the end of any similarities between her performance and the one phoned in by Holmes for the last Batman installment.

“I’m not walking into Katie Holmes’ performance,” Gyllenhaal said, reports WENN. “I’m thinking of it as an opportunity to play somebody who’s alive and smart. Chris (Nolan the director) asked me to do this because he wanted me, not because he wants some generic lady in a dress.”

Alive and smart. You couldn’t come up with a pithier, more accurate way to describe "the opposite of Katie Holmes since she married Tom Cruise."

Warner Brothers Pictures has released a hi-res version of the new Batman suit from The Dark Knight, opening in theaters on July 18, 2008. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the anticipated sequel stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Eric Roberts, Anthony Michael Hall, and Nestor Carbonell.

Which you rather see: Christian Bale wearing the new Batman suit, or Christian Bale naked?
