According to BatmanOnFilm there is a new actor being considered for the role of Joker in the sequel to Batman Begins. The site also reveals that there is "no truth" to Mark Hamill being up for the part.

"Got a new name to add into the mix for The Joker in the Batman Begins sequel: Paul Bettany. Bettany joins Lachy Hulme and Crispin Glover in the mix to play The Crown Prince of Crime. The same source who passed along Bettany's name informed us that there is "no truth" behind Mark Hamill being up for the role. He also told us that Mr. Hamill is "a little old" for this new take on The Joker. Mr. Hamill is in his mid-fifties I believe."

Meanwhile, according to Box Office Mojo reports Batman Begins did better yesterday than on Tuesday, picking up a reported $5,518,167. The film seems to be benefiting from word of mouth.
