LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- In some earlier parallel universe of Batman's Gotham City, it might have been Gary Oldman instead of Heath Ledger cackling and conniving as the maniacal Joker.
In "The Dark Knight," Oldman plays a true good guy: police lieutenant Jim Gordon.

Nowadays, Oldman is dogged, upright cop Jim Gordon in the Batman world or the solicitous Sirius Black, the surrogate father to boy wizard Harry Potter.
This is not your father's Gary Oldman, the actor who built his reputation on such characters as prince of punk-rock anarchy Sid Vicious, presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald or Dracula himself.
In fact, Oldman has kind of become your father -- a pillar of paternalism, a symbol of saintliness. The man you want covering your back, rather than the one you would never turn your back on.
With his second turn as Batman ally Gordon in "The Dark Knight," Oldman, 50, feels as though he has finally broken ranks with the bad boys and put to rest his typecasting as a go-to guy when filmmakers needed a villain. Watch how the Joker evolved through the years »

Is Obama ‘talking down’ to
blacks?
Posted: 05:11 PM ET
Barack Obama speaking at the NAACP 99th Annual Convention.
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
The man who could become the first black President of the United States is calling on blacks to take more responsibility for improving their own lives.
Speaking to
the NAACP in Cincinnati, Obama got the most applause when he urged blacks to do more for themselves, saying:
“When we are taking care of our own stuff, then a lot of other folks are going to be interested in joining up and working with us and taking care of America’s stuff… Teaching our daughters to never allow images on television to tell them what they are worth; teaching our sons to treat women with respect, and to realize responsibility does not end at conception; that what makes them a man is not the ability to have a child but to raise one.”
Obama said the problems that plague the black community aren’t unique to them, but “we just have them a little worse.”
