Joker is one of the most fascinating DC villains and arguably the best Batman nemesis in Dcu. His obsession with the Caped Crusader is almost romantic which often rattled Harley Quinn, his on-and-off girlfriend.

While Joker and Harley Quinn are regarded as one of the power couples in the universe, their break-ups do not go unnoticed. Joker is unpredictable and Quinn often has to make unprecedented decisions in their relationship. In one instance, the infamous villainous couple went through a gut-wrenching plot twist that killed the Clown Prince.

Sony Pictures Television wants to know: Can The Good Doctor continue airing on U.S. broadcast TV?
Sony has asked the Federal Election Commission for an advisory opinion on whether the show can continue to air new episodes, and older episodes currently in syndication, in the state of Michigan.
The medical drama, which airs new episodes on ABC, stars Freddie Highmore as Dr. Sean Murphy, a surgeon with extraordinary skills and intuition.
But it also stars Hill Harper as Dr. Marcus Andrews, the head of the hospital surgery department, and later, as its president.
In July, Harper announced that he was running to fill an open U.S. Senate seat in his home state of Michigan. At issue is whether airing episodes of The Good Doctor would be classified as a “contribution” or “expenditure” to Harper’s Senate campaign by Sony.
“Specifically, we seek confirmation that the production and distribution...

Coming soon from DC with images unleashed today, two of the biggest characters in comic book history will face off in mashup Batman Spawn from Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. After staying out of each other’s way for almost 20 years, the Court of Owls steps in to try to use Spawn to beat Batman in the not to be missed comic available on December 13.

Never Mind the Buzzcocks has been cancelled after 28 series, with the BBC confirming the much-loved show will not be returning.
The ingenious - and often hilarious - pop music panel quiz arrived on screens way back in 1996, and ran for over 260 episodes.
Hosts including Mark Lamarr, Simon Amstell and Rhod Gilbert have appeared alongside team captains Phil Jupitus, Sean Hughes, Bill Bailey and Noel Fielding. Here are some of the greatest moments.
1. Boys will be boys!
Preston took an immediate dislike to being described by Simon Amstell as a "professional celebrity" on introduction, before Amstell joked that his band The Ordinary Boys have no fans.
But it was when he began to read extracts from Preston's then-wife Chantelle Houghton's biography - with the line "The photoshoot was for the Daily Mail, which made me feel really posh and upmarket" - that he stormed off the show in disgust.

Buzzcocks was originally hosted by Mark Lamarr and featured Phil Jupitus and Sean Hughes as team captains.
Simon Amstell took over from Lamarr as host, before the show adopted a rotating guest host policy, while other team captains over the 16 years have included Bill Bailey and Noel Fielding.

Bill Bailey has claimed that he left Never Mind The Buzzcocks because of the "contemptuous" way he was treated by the BBC. The comedian, who this week released new DVD Dandelion Mind, replaced Sean Hughes on the music panel quiz in 2002 but left the show himself in 2008. Asked how he came to leave the programme, Bailey told Digital Spy: "To be honest, I was basically sidelined from the show. Buzzcocks normally records in October and the BBC moved the recordings forward two months and so it clashed with a lot of stuff I'd already booked. "I'd had a tour of Australia, an orchestra tour and a West End run. They said, 'Could you just cancel them?' I thought, (more)...

On Monday, September 20, The Paris Theater in New York City filled to standing-room only for a 25th-anniversary screening of the seminal teen classic 'The Breakfast Club.'

Notably absent was the other main cast member, Emilio Estevez, who Ringwald joked was "the Greta Garbo of the Brat Pack -- he just wants to be left alone."

Hollywoodnews.com: Crank up Simple Minds and get ready to describe the ruckus. Four members of John Hughes’ original “Breakfast Club” will take the stage tonight at the Paris Theatre in New York City for a 25tht Anniversary screening of the film, followed by a post-screening panel discussion.
Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy will attend the sold-out, commemorative event, presented by New Wave.
The post-screening panel will be moderated by “Clerks” and “Cop Out” filmmaker Kevin Smith, who was on the nationally syndicated “Opie and Anthony” radio program this morning to discuss the appearance.
Smith, a born conversationalist, lamented the fact that he’ll only have 45 minutes with this cast, when he said he could easily do an hour with each member of the “Club.” Anyone who has attended one of Smith’s entertaining live shows knows that’s no exaggeration.

I listened to a lot of embarrassing music back in 1995: Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, The Cranberries, Sponge, The Lemonheads, and basically half of what's on the Empire Records soundtrack. Empire Records is a fairly good representation of the popular, watered-down, R.E.M.-wannabe alt music of the era. Like the music, Empire Records was crap then, and it's crap now, but nostalgia has had a funny way of shining down on it. It's all very affectionately shameful. It's pure cheese, but it's aged well, like a nice gruyere -- sweet, but not overpowering. And great for fondue!
It's also a very unexpected cult classic among a certain age group. It only made $303,000 in its theatrical release, and reviews for the film were largely negative (it still possesses only a 24 percent over on RottenTomatoes). It's unexpected because there was nothing particularly original, ahead of its time, or inventive about Empire Records.

Richard Attenborough is back in front of the cameras in a movie version of Spike Milligan's comic novel Puckoon. The British author's surreal tale focuses on a pub split by the new border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic in 1922. The romp, which is being backed by the Arts Council Of Northern Ireland, also includes Irish comic Sean Hughes and American star Elliott Gould, and will be directed by Les Blair. Attenborough and Gould are long-standing pals of Milligan and have agreed to work "for the price of a pint", according to friends. A colleague of Milligan says, "Getting this film underway has been a dream for Spike. He says it may be the last dream he ever has as he is now 82 and not in the best of health. But he is just so proud that he will be seeing Puckoon on the Silver Screen. He has told Les Blair, 'No hold-ups. I may pop off at any time'!"...
