Gary Oldman to play young Sgt Jim Gordon in BATMAN BEGINS!

Hey folks, Harry here... as if to continue the non-stop ass-kicking that Christopher Nolan seems to be doing with BATMAN BEGINS (new title, in case ya hadn't heard, it was reported everywhere) - the latest piece of Holy Shit, That's Cool News comes from FILMFORCE! Apparently Gary Oldman has been cast as Sgt Jim Gordon - who, of course one day becomes Commissioner Gordon, the character we know and love. This is added to the cast we all know so far as: Christian Bale as Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred, Katie Holmes as Rachel Dodson, Liam Neeson as Ducard, Ken Watanabe as Ra's al Ghul, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Cillian Murphy as Jonathan Crane, and Larry Holden as D.A. Fisk. In addition, a scooper named "The Only Woj," who got the info from Batman-on-Film.com, says that Batman will be able to glide the skies. His cape is made out of an awesome high tech material that is incredibly light, but when an electrical current is released through it, it becomes a hard material that allows Batman to glide from rooftops to the area below with a touch of a button. Or at least that's the latest.

I think it is clear that many more people are supportive of Christopher Nolan, as opposed to Mikey Eisner, who seems destined for a gold plated cardboard box in a jeweled alley of forcable retirement... at least, that's how things are looking. Ah, things are beginning to look up. What are we going to do when this movie hits and it rules the universe... explode from joy? Robogeek, upon hearing the news wondered aloud, will Jim Gordon scream out, "Bring me everyone. EEEEHHHHHVVVVREEEWAAAANNNN!!!!"? Well, heh... we'll see sometime next year!
