The plot of “In Darkest Night”
On the alien world of Ajuris 5 an outlandish crowd of sentients is called to order by the leader of the High Tribunal. The Tribunal is a a trio of alien judges who appear as disembodied heads on a view screen inside a vast, stadium-like, court room. They state that never before has such a heinous crime brought together so many beings in grief and revulsion. The lead judge then tells the Prosecutor to bring forth the accused, but he is informed that the accused is still at large. Upon hearing this the lead judge calls forward the Manhunters, a corps of android soldiers whose mantra is “No Man Escapes the Manhunters.” The Manhunters are then informed that their target is the Green Lantern of Earth.
On Earth, Green Lantern has returned to his childhood neighbourhood in his civilian alter ego of John Stewart. He walks the streets to collect his thoughts and is unrecognized by other citizens who are enjoying the crisp winter’s day. He uses his power ring once to stop a grocery store robbery, but slips away before anybody else notices. Quite by chance Stewart encounters Al McGee, his High School history teacher, and his grandson Chris. He hangs out with them for a time, but it’s clear that John is hesitant to explain what’s troubling him.

Meanwhile, a trio of Manhunters attract the attention of J’onn J’onzz, Hawkgirl, and Flash as they hurtle past the Justice League’s orbiting Watchtower. The Leaguers follow the Manhunters down to the city streets and question them about their reason for visiting Earth. The Leaguers react angrily when the Manhunters tell them that they are here for John Stewart and a physical confrontation ensues. The powerful Manhunters deflect the Leaguers’ attacks with ease until Superman’s arrival evens the odds. The battle is cut short by Green Lantern’s intervention. He stuns his friends by willingly surrendering himself into the Manhunters’ custody. He and the Manhunters teleport away before the Leaguers get an explanation.
The Manhunters’ return to Ajuris 5 is met by a hostile crowd who are waving anti-Green Lantern signs and throw rotting fruit at Stewart as he passes. A group of Green Lanterns friends including Galius, Arrkis, and Kilowog are there to watch Stewart’s arrival, but’s it clear that they think he is as guilty as the crowd does. A snide comment by one of the Green Lantern’s about the Manhunters is overheard, but the Lead Manhunter prevents his soldiers from causing a scene by telling them “not yet.” Stewart is left alone in his cell to ponder his upcoming trial. His arrest and arrival on Ajuris 5 is watched from afar by the Guardians of the Universe, the gnome like masters of the Green Lantern Corps, but they decide to remain on the sidelines for the time being.

Back at the Watchtower J’onn J’onzz is able to reach out across the gulf of space to John Stewart’s mind. They can’t communicate, but J’onn is able to pin point Stewart’s location on a star chart. Upon arrival at Ajuris 5 the League’s Javelin craft is attacked by the local defence patrol. After taking due care to avoid lethal force the League barge into the courtroom just as the Prosecutor is demanding that an example be made of Stewart. Superman apologises for the manner of their arrival, but asserts that they are friends of the accused. The lead judge then allows the Leaguers to take seats in the public gallery, but he warns them that he will tolerate no further interruptions.
The Prosecutor calls his first and only witness. Kanjar-Ro is, by his own admission, a pirate and thief, but he is willing to allow the court to probe his memories so they can be displayed as evidence against Stewart. Ro relates his story as his memories are projected on a giant screen for the court. Stewart had discovered that Ro was running blasters to a rebel faction on Ajuris 4 and had forced Ro to crash land on Ajuris 4’s moon. Before Stewart could question Ro he was attacked by a fleet of ships belonging to Ro’s unnamed backers. Stewart fired back, but his powerful energy blast bounced off of the attacker’s deflector shields. The shot ricocheted into a volcanic fault line on Ajuris 4 causing a seismic chain reaction that destroyed the entire planet and its 3 billion inhabitants. The court recesses to consider Ro’s testimony. The Justice Leaguers crowd around Stewart and protest that Ro is obviously lying, but he stuns them by admitting that Ro was actually telling the truth. The large rubble cloud in the sky above Ajuris 5 is the remains of Ajuris 4. John Stewart admits that he is guilty of its destruction! Stay tuned to this site for more updates!
Right now &ldquo:The Dark Knight” is still on the tip of everyone’s tongue. But now, instead of folks breathlessly asking each other if they’ve seen it, talk has turned to speculation over Batman’s next foe. Who’s it gonna be?
Phillip Seymour as The Penguin?
Slashfilm notes that there are additional possibilities floating around. For instance, Phillip Seymour Hoffman may play the Penguin or Angelina Jolie could don Cat Woman’s skin-tight suit. Truth or fiction, fanboys around the world must be having a heart attack at the mere possibility.
Still, the “Official Rumor Mill,” Slashfilm, is just one of the ways superfans are checking in on the next Batman Flick. Many seek the scoop themselves. We‘ve noticed impressive searches on “Batman 3 rumors,” “Dark knight sequel casting rumors,” and “batman’s next villain.”
That last query is very telling. People clearly want to know the answer, but we doubt even the filmmakers have decided. To that end, may we offer the studio execs this humble piece of Search-informed advice: Go with Catwoman. She‘s far-and-away the most popular baddie and there are already a slew of searches on possible cast members including Jessica Biel, Amy Adams, and, wait for it, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Do fans think Rachel Dawes, Bruce Wayne‘s one-and-only, was really the Catwoman all along?
Jessica Biel
Amy Adams
Maggie Gyllenhaal
All are Great Choices for Rachel Dawes aka Catwoman. But we have yet to even mention the Beautiful Halle Berry! She has already played the roll of Cat Woman in a live action Full Length Movie, so well in fact, that whe didn‘t even need “The Dark Knight” as a Co-Star!
iVillage is reporting that the Caped Crusader may take on the Riddler in “Batman 3.” According to the rumor mill, Johnny Depp might sign on to play the nefarious super-criminal. But this rumor could be just as false as the one about Crispin Glover playing the Joker or Megan Gale appearing as the Live Action Wonder Woman of 2009!
