Good god what an a-hole! What the hell is wrong with this guy and who keeps giving him work? He ruins everything he touches, like the X-Men for instance. Here are just some of the latest ridiculous ideas bubbling around in the Turd Sandwich’s head:

“As a kid, Batman was my thing,’ Ratner said. ‘I’m a little jealous that I didn’t get to direct it, although Nolan did a great job. But there are so many characters in the Batman series, so many characters that I love, that the opportunities for spin-offs are endless.”

“Ratner thinks that the first one should be a film just about the Joker, exploring his (possible) origin as the Red Hood. ‘That would be really cool,’ he said. But don’t we then run into the not-so-little problem of who could possibly fill Heath Ledger’s shoes?

“Heath was great,’ Ratner said. ‘But the Joker is a great villain. That’s why Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger had so much to work with. And I think there will be another actor who can interpret that. It would be great to see [Robert] Downey [Jr.] as the Joker, for instance.”

Ratner doesn’t want to stop there. If the opportunities for spin-offs in the Batman universe are endless, what about the rest of comic-book-dom? For the X-Men, for instance, Ratner is excited about the upcoming Wolverine spin-off, but he thinks one is warranted for Halle Berry’s character, Storm, as well. ‘That would be great,’ he said. ‘That would be really cool.”
