Shortly after “The Batman” successfully rebooted the Batman franchise, Warner Bros. Lady Gaga will fill the role of Harley Quinn in what is being planned as a musical follow-up to the R-rated, $1 billion-grossing hit. Titled “Joker: Folie á Deux,” the new film is written by Scott Silver & Todd Phillips with Phillips once again directing.

I saw how much she went through that I didn’t, especially in a social respect. I was able to talk to her about it it’s like we were both in this weird club. She was a soccer player and it took her out from that. Then my best friend’s daughter, who was a freshman in high school, found out she had cancer in her leg. At one time, I considered doing a graphic novel or even having my characters from the strip go through it, but I never found the right tone or was happy with it. I kicked around the idea of writing a memoir or an adult novel. I continued to do the strip all through the treatments, and I always thought there was something there about humor and being forced to be funny every day. When I went through my cancer experience, 14 years ago now, I was doing my comic strip Big Top.

Today, in a pluralistic age, it seems we need a number of overlapping theories with factors in common to describe what we are beginning to call the multiverse. Science fiction, for instance, quite frequently “seeds” a notion into the scientific community before a physicist does the math and provides the evidence, though certain ideas, if born outside their time, might wait centuries before they are recognized. Some believe this is because we need a model or an idea emerging from our social and intellectual environment before we set about seeking the appropriate evidence. Our scientific thinking has always tended to reflect its era. We now live in a world in which many physicists have come to believe there are not merely three dimensions (plus time) but 10 or possibly 11. Models of the universe are changing radically. They point out that the unified field theory that physicists, including Einstein, spent the better part of the 20th century trying to construct, probably can’t exist. In “The Grand Design,” Cambridge theorist Stephen Hawking and Caltech physicist Leonard Mlodinow seem to suggest that physics and metaphysics are also growing closer. Robert Oppenheimer was fond of proposing that physics and poetry were becoming indistinguishable. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling.

But why? In Butts: A Backstory, reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributing editor Heather Radke is determined to find out. A woman's butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame.
