What the Fuck were they thinking moment?

I don't know if this will be a weekly thing or not. But this has to be the WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING moment this week. Taken from IMDB.com:

Ledger To Join 'Batman' Cast As Joker?

Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger may have scored the coveted role of The Joker in the Batman Begins sequel, according to press reports in Australia. The actor was reportedly offered the plum part last week and will star in the next installment of the film set to be released in 2008. Oscar-winner Robin Williams was reportedly desperate to land the role and The Da Vinci Code star Paul Bettany was also rumored to be in talks for the part. According to film website Moviehole.net, filmmakers wanted to cast an actor in the part of Batman's adversary who was roughly the same age as 32-year-old star Christian Bale. Ledger is also working with Bale on I'm Not There, a film in which seven actors embody different aspects of musician Bob Dylan's life and work.

My vote was always for HammilI or hell Williams has always wanted this part too. I believe I need to stress this again: WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING? I really hope Nolan knows what he is doing. Granted Ledger is a good actor, but come on the Joker?

On a side note, there are questions of making a Superman Returns sequal; Singer said it didn't meet expectations, but they'll see how the DVD sales go.
