Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal is being touted as Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent in the next Batman sequel, along with Paul Bettany, who may play the Joker. Gyllenhaal would play Gotham City's good-guy lawyer, who mutates into his alter-ego, Two-Face, in the third film. In the sequel, Batman would team with Harvey Dent to destroy the Joker, according to moviehole.net. Tommy Lee Jones formerly played Dent/Two-Face on the big screen in Batman & Robin. Star Christian Bale is set to return, as well as Michael Caine as butler Alfred.

I am curious about Bettany as Joker. I think he might be able to do it.

I swear Jon just had a wee one. But I've been TDS slacking, so who knows?

Yay Allyson on the book deal!

I've discovered a flaw in my go to bed at a reasonable hour plan (which translates to before midnight, hopefully at 11): I wake up for the first time at 5:30 and then sleep restlessly for another hour or so, then finally give up crankily when my alarm goes off. My real problem isn't getting enough sleep. It's that damned waking up part.

I'm pretty sure Jon had a son over a year ago and this is a new baby. Someone mentioned it on the show a while back.

Well aren't the Stewarts bundles of fertility! Go team repopulating the world with snark.

Watching 24, the correct comment on the guest star is Sydney! And I don't mean Alias. I mean The Pretender.

Well good for them. And Jon was especially funny when he was all cranky and sleep deprived.

msbelle, maybe you work on that, too.

I think better is slowly coming. I have had moments of ok this morning.

Fantasic awesome news Allyson!

Yay for moments of ok. May there be an abundance of ok to follow.

Heh -- the last time Stewart had a baby, I think Colbert took over the anchor spot for that night. Guess they can't do it that way this time!

Samantha Bee is also having a baby (or had -- she was PDP (Pretty Dam Pregnant) the last time I saw her on the show).
