Mark Hammil, who is known to everybody as the beloved Luke Skywalker from the (real) “Star Wars” trilogy and The Joker from the hit 1992 “Batman: The Animated Series”, has just announced that he will be retiring as the voice of The Joker following the release of the hit game, “Batman: Arkham City”.

Hammil has solidified his decision in a Tweet this week stating:

Hello/Goodbye Joker! I’ve enjoyed every minute behind the wheel of the [Clown] Prince’s crazy car – I’m going to miss him more than I can say!!

We all will miss Mark’s incredible voice talent as the Clown Prince of Crime but Hammil is doing something that most actors tend not to do…go out while they are still on top. Now that “Batman: Arkham City” has topped over 4.5 million copies sold, you really can’t be any higher.

There is still a slight chance we may hear Hammil’s Joker again and according to another one of his Tweets, if DC or Warner Bros. decides to make Alan Moore’s “The Killing Joke” an animated feature, he would happily return for the project. With a classic story like “The Killing Joke”, I can’t imagine it NOT being brought back as an animated feature.

Get your first look at the full Catwoman suit as Anne Hathaway spotted  in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, September 24 filming “The Dark Knight Rises”.

In a recent interview with CBS News to promote his latest film “Battle: Los Angeles”, Aaron Eckhart was once again asked whether we could expect to see Harvey Dent in “The Dark Knight Rises”.  Watch the video and you be the judge…

Co-writer Marc Guggenheim thinks there is still a chance. Guggenheim has made a push to try and give Clark Kent a role in the upcoming “Green Lantern” film and says it’s still not too late. It has already made it through many drafts and the current draft still supports the cameo. There is no word on yet who would play Kent in the movie but Guggenheim joked:

You never know – it can still happen. If Tom Welling has a free hour or two, you never know.

For those who may have watched the latest season of Last Comic Standing or any of the Comedy Central Roasts, you may remember Greg Giraldo as a judge or roaster respectively. His brash humor usually crossed lines into insulting but put him on the map as one of the funniest comics over the past few year.

The comic (who was also a Harvard Law School grad) was found unconcious at his hotel room when he didn’t appear at a scheduled performance. He was reccessitized and brought to a nearby hospital where he passed away. TMZ had reported that this was not a suicide attempt and that the cause of death was an overdose on a perscription drug. We think the type of people that read Angry Web would be familiar with Greg and we hope he rests in peace.

You might remember Sam Jones III aka Clark’s best friend Pete Ross from the first 3 seasons of Smallville. Well, it looks like Pete may not be returning to the show anytime soon!

Jones was arrested this morning when cops discovered he was part of a drug conspiracy, dealing out more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone. DEA agents took the actor into custody and reported Jones to be a “co-conspirator” in several major drug deals that occurred in 2008. Federal court documents revealed Jones to be a “Hollywood connection”, which allowed him to illegally purchase and distribute the oxycodone.

Sam Jones III has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and will be due in L.A. federal court later today. The actor could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Ouch!

Somebody SAVE ME!!! Looks like Clark’s not coming to save your ass this time around, Petey. You’ve gone too far!

In case you are still wondering whether actor Jeff Goldblum has passed away, we’re still not sure…neither is Goldblum himself.  Last week as Michael Jackson left us, Twitter and Facebook feeds were updated with another piece of tragic news – Actor Jeff Goldblum had fallen to his death while filming a movie in New Zealand.  The New Zealand police had even confirmed that the news was true.

Whether the actor has really passed or not, we do have a response from talk show host Stephen Colbert…and Jeff Goldblum.
