So... William Shatner? Watch Out Bruce Banner Wants To Fight You, Just Don't Get Him Angry!

Hey folks, Harry here - about 3 days ago a source sent in a scoop that Edward Norton would be playing Bruce Banner aka The Hulk... Tonight - the story hits VARIETY - so it's confirmed, Edward Norton dons the purple pants and lab coat. Personally - other than my fetishistic desire to see Steve Buscemi as Bruce Banner... heh... well - that's my own personal fantasy - but there ain't a damn thing wrong with the casting of Edward Norton - he could do wonders with the Banner/Hulk bit.

What do you guys think?
