New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!
I'm still getting set up in the press room here guys, but thought you'd want to know! You heard it here on Diablofans first!
Update: The Monk is playable at BlizzCon!!!! It wasn't at first, but after the announcement, they made the character playable on all the computers in the convention center.
Update #2: The Cinematic Trailer and the Gameplay Trailer for The Monk are up on Youtube. Scroll down and you can check 'em out!
The screenshot came from a Korean-language version of the Diablo 3 site.
Here's the actual Cinematic Trailer for the Monk:

It says Undefined....
Edit: Oh i see...
I hope this class will be all about channeled attacks through their staff or whatever other weapon(s) they use, and not have any hand-to-hand combat skills tbh, fighting against demons like that just never seemed fitting to me.
As for lore, I'm betting the monk will be a disciple of Zakarum (think holy bolt, its a staple of this series) like the paladin, but studying in seclusion somewhere instead, and will be more spiritually inept (kind of a given really). My guess is that he/she will be from somewhere near or in that mountain region near Ureh.
I hope they don't go cheese though and just spin the lore off from that monk in the old D1 xpac.
