Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I heard a rumor: death of Katie's character by the Joker.
Thus sending Bats on a deadly spiral of rage and vengence. Until he realizes that he doesn't care all that much, but figures he has to deal with the Joker anyway, what with the whole Protector of Gotham thing.

And they've conceived this as a way to make the Joker an unsympathetic antagonist that the audience will want Batman to stop?

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I saw The Aristocrats this weekend. Oh my god, I just about cried laughing in parts of it, and squirmed uncomfortably in others. It lived right up to my expectations.
Who knew Bob Saget would make me laugh the hardest in the whole movie?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have seen The Real Bob Saget do his standup shtick, so I know he is actually the Admiral Halsey of f-bombs. Sendin' em out just in case, to make sure Tojo is paying attention.
I always have no love for Damon until I see him in something. Then, suddenly, I feel like I must have more, more, more Matt! It's kind of creepy, but it usually wears off.
The weird part is, Damon with an English accent. Anyway, that was what I thought I heard in the promo.
He was in town recently, to promote that or some other movie. Heath Ledger went around telling the Globe that he was an excellent dancer, and a killer at the tango.
He and Mark Wahlberg narrowly avoided being in town at the same time. I think they must actually be the same person, leading a double life, because how many short-guy-best-buddies-with-George-Clooney can there be, really? Also, it pleases me to think of Donnie Wahlberg dope-slapping Ben Affleck.
Sadly for Marky Mark, Matt is the one who gets to go to all the ball games.

Perhaps, but does Damon get all the free Calvin Klein underwear he wants and free drinks at any gay bar the Funky Bunch has played at on the East Coast?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Things would be rather sad if he couldn't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a surprisingly funny movie. Seriously, my face hurt when we left the theatre. So funny. (And not mean or overly embarrassing, which is what I was worried about. There's some humiliation humor, but it's never taken so far that I wished I wasn't watching.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a surprisingly funny movie.
Is it showing its Daily Show pedigree? I wasn't so inclined to see it.
