Joker Mask

Looking for a Joker mask? I had no idea this thing existed.

BATMAN: JOKER Deluxe Latex Mask


It's a latex Joker Mask that looks like the Joker from the comic book.

I probably would have worn this thing out when I was a teenager.

More G.I.Joe Casting: Marwan is Zartan, The Rookie is Hawk

Yup, you got it.

Arnold Vosloo, known for playing the best bad guy ever to grace the set of 24, along with some desert movie he made with some director who's got a movie coming out based on a line of action figures--that's the Arnold Vosloo who's going to play Zartan, everybody's favorite Austrailian biker with a skin disorder.

This is a decision I can get behind. I think this, along with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty, are my two favorite casting choices in this movie.

And Dennis Quaid is going to play Hawk.

No, not Randy Quaid. Dennis Quaid. The guy from The Rookie. The guy that played Lindsey Lohan's dad in the new Parent Trap. Still no? Frequency? Jaws 3-D? Enemy Mine? Fine, go look at his picture. Yeah, that guy.

Not going to make my top two, but I don't think it's a bad choice at all. I'm sure this one's going to get knocked--particulary if anybody wants to refrence his turn as the President in American Dreamz. But since I live in a world where American Dreamz was never made, and I never wasted a Friday night sitting through it, that doesn't matter to me.

Look at all the pretty ponies.

More GI Joe Casting News: Duke Cast

Conrad Hauser, aka Duke, has been cast in the G.I.Joe movie, and according to Ain't It Cool News, the man with the crew cut is Channing Tatum.

Yeah, I got no idea either. Check out his IMDB entry here for what you haven't seen him in.

Anyways, since this entry looks kind of thin, I'll go ahead and fill this space with interesting trivia: Did you know that Duke orginally died in the G.I.Joe movie? But since people freaked out about all the deaths in Transformers: The Movie, they redubbed the scene to say he went into a coma.

But since everyone thought the G.I.Joe movie stunk on ice anyway, pretty much every aspect of the movie was ignored.

Including the giant alien snake people.

So Duke probably could have died and it wouldn't have exactly been the low point of the film.

Other Wonder Woman Fired! JLA Off The Table!

Looks like Megan Gale may not be our live action Wonder Woman after all.

Or she still might be. It's hard to say.

As is being reported all over the Interweb, the upcoming Justice League movie is now on hold, and all the actors options have lapsed.

Apparently the reason is that the studio isn't thrilled with some of the tweaks George Miller made in the script, and they'd really like to let a pro have a pass at it. But since all the pros are out holding signs on the streets in LA, that isn't going to happen any time soon.

The actors have apparently been assured that Warner Brothers just loves them, and that every single one of them is still wanted for the movie, but they've also been told to go get other jobs so they'll be busy when the time comes to cast again.

I didn't care one way or the other about any of these people, but that's got to be a downer. Can you imagine being told you're not going to get to be Superman any more?

Wonder Woman Cast! It's Keri Russell!

Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

"She's awesome. I love her. But would that really work?"

Okay, that's what I'm thinking.

I'm no Felicity nut, but what kid of my era didn't crush on Keri Russell on Mickey Mouse Club?

Anyway, here's the good news: It will work.

Because we're not talking about a live-action movie. According to TV Guide, Keri Russell got the gig as the voice of the Amazon princess in the upcoming DC Direct-to-DVD film Wonder Woman.

It's part of the same series as Justice League - The New Frontier and Batman: Gotham Knight.
