It’s official! Well, sort of.

“A very trusted source” over at Latino Review has confirmed that Heath Ledger was offered the role of The Joker in the sequel to “Batman Begins.”
The rumor comes courtesy of the same guys who delivered the first scoop about Brandon Routh winning the role of Superman before anyone else, and I must say, it’s a very interesting casting decision. Ledger is a much younger actor (as I’m sure director Christopher Nolan was hoping for), and he’s got both the talent and the smile to deliver the goods. But is it true? I guess we’ll just have to wait around to find out…
