Comic Book Writter on NY times best list.
Check out the link for the original article.
http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/08/the-nifty-50-geoff-johns-comic-book-writer/
“I like taking the characters that aren’t necessarily Superman and Batman – though they’re great, too – and propel them into the mainstream,” says Geoff Johns of his work for DC Comics. Nowhere is this approach more evident than in his revitalization of Green Lantern, a hero whom Johns brought back from the dead in 2005 and is now starring in “Blackest Night,” a top-selling storyline affecting all DC heroes.

Heath Ledger "Best Villain"
Heath Ledger won "Best Villain" for The Dark Knight at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, though it was announced before the show on the red carpet by MTV News correspondent Sway.
Why they pre-announced it I'll never know. Seems kind of anti-climatic to me.

BATMAN vs. WATCHMEN
OK, not really verses......but
The Dark Knight is to movies, what Watchmen was/is to comics. Legitimization.
We all know by now that Dark Knight won 2 Academy Awards in February, including Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger. This represents the first time that a comic book movie has been awarded an Oscar. Comic book movies have always been main-stream, but only because of the fans. Now the critics are involved...giving the greatest "thumbs up" a picture can get.
The same was true for The Watchmen. When it was first published, it was the first graphic novel to appear on the New York Time's best seller list. Once again, the comic book genera is getting critical acclaim.
No longer are comic geeks crouching in shadows....we are out in the main stream making normal people fell uneasy and unworthy.
Why so serious?

Ledger Wins Australian Film Institute's Best Actor
The late Heath Ledger was awarded one of his country's most prestigious film awards on Saturday for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, reports Reuters.
Ledger, 28, who died of an accidental overdose of painkillers and other medicines in his New York apartment 11 months ago, was posthumously awarded the AFI (Australian Film Institute) international award for best actor.
Guests at a packed awards ceremony in Melbourne's Princess Theater rose to their feet clapping, but with some in tears, to pay tribute to the actor who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in 2005's Brokeback Mountain.

Disqualification for The Dark Knight
Variety reports that the score for The Dark Knight has been disqualified by the executive committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences music branch from being considered for an Oscar.
Formal letters to that effect are expected to go out this week to composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, who collaborated on the music.
Their previous collaboration, on Batman Begins, was similarly disqualified in 2005.
According to the trade, the big issue was the fact that five names were listed as composers on the music cue sheet, the official studio document that specifies every piece of music (along with its duration and copyright owner) in the film.
Zimmer previously said that listing multiple names on the cue sheet was a way of financially rewarding parts of the music team who helped make the overall work successful.
Zimmer, Howard and the other three individuals -- music editor Alex Gibson, ambient music designer Mel Wesson and composer Lorne Balfe -- reportedly signed an affidavit stating that the score was primarily the work of Zimmer and Howard.
That apparently wasn't enough for the majority of the committee, which was also supplied with documentation indicating that more than 60%, but less than 70%, of the score was credited to Zimmer and Howard.
