Another morning on Slashfilm, another Kid Icarus in Hollywood. Previously, Robert Downey Jr. used the web to hawk an Iron loogie at The Dark Knight and DC Comics, and now Mark Wahlberg—who enjoys lighting cigarettes in the rain—says he’d pummel The Caped Crusader.

With the risk of sounding like a broken record, Slashfilm feels that Lost Boys: The Tribe was a lost cause. Even some of the people who worked and starred in the direct-to-DVD afterthought seem to agree. But it leaves open the question: do you reverse the damage done and attempt a real sequel—as rumored—or do [...]

Iron Man just bitch slapped The Dark Knight for having a BA in philosophy. To be more precise, a non-blackface Robert Downey Jr. candidly discussed his rabid thoughts about the biggest fanboy movie of all time to MovieHole. Nice.

Tonight, we can all sleep soundly. The Joker has been apprehended, and I imagine he looks a lot like Slashfilm’s resident spam commenter Jerry “Crack Corn” Butler. The above 20 year old, real name Spencer Taylor, was busted for stealing posters and memorabilia for The Dark Knight from a movie theater in Michigan. Cops arrived [...]
