I'm pretty that site is just repeating the update from batman news like all the others, only apparently they missed the part where it was labeled a RUMOR and not fact, and also didn't even bother to give credit to batman news.

Yeah...ouch! I've seen that a lot today though. People are posting the rumor as FACT and not giving me any credit. Or they credit a different site (who actually does credit me). Crazy.

You want people to credit you ... for a rumor?

It's his story, so why not?

A rumor that originated from his site; wanting credit and publicity for his site is reasonable.

Wow. Taking someone's ideas or words without giving credit is called plagiarism. Whether it's true or not, it still originated on Batman-News.com. And what if it does turn out to be true? Of course I want credit. Anyone who publishes information; on the web, in a book, in a magazine, etc....wants credit for their work. I spent the past month emailing my source. I was finally confident that it MIGHT be legit, and passed it along to my readers. He had provided me with 2 tips previously that were true. I figured I'd actually publish his 3rd rumor, and hope that one is true too. Batman-News.com readers don't just want to read confirmed news. They love rumors!

To get back on a topic, a few sites have said they've heard similar rumors about Hardy/Strange, including BOF. I hope it turns out to be true, I think he'd be a really cool character for Nolan to explore.

EW discusses the evolution of the Hugo Strange rumor. They definitely mention Batman-News.com in the piece. I bet Jett's head exploded!

Not only did they mention Batman News they also complimented Chris for actually reporting the story as a rumor meant for discussion unlike a number of more well known sites that neglected to mention that.
