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!

You got a source? Who confirmed this?
And the twin hooks. Those things are BEASTS.
What did you expect? Robot monkey who shoot lazer beams from their eyes? And then they shapeshift into huge rhinos who go rampaging around the screen trampling everything in their path while shooting even more lazers from their horn?! Is that what you expected?!??!
Hmmm.... can't say I blame you.

Its the same one but choose which 1 u preffer cuz of quality...
Yeah, that's true. I guess when I hear of a monk I just assume his body will be his main weapon. I'm not really sure why I get that image, though. I think of monks being passive, which isn't the case with this one, obviously, since he's killing things.
And those gameplay videos look great. I'm loving the fast attacks.
Just watched videos: yeah, looks like it'll be like what I hoped - cool. Still, not as cool as I'd like. I'm tired of robes and rags, give me some fucking armor!
Watch the gameplay trailer that was posted earlier. You will be pleased.
He just hits everything and it explodes into fountains of blood. It is by far the most visually appealing class thus far.
Some people refuse to get excited.
I think they're the kids whose parents told them they were going to Disneyland when they were actually going to the Dentist or Grandma's. Totally crushed their ability to just sit back and be excited about something that will be truly awesome. Sad.
With those videos he looks to have good singeplayer crowd controls
For multiplayer, if he tried the same thing he'd probably be too overwhelmed if he had no assistance.
I think that might be how they'll balance it out a bit.
Does he use mana or fury?
I think the FURY BALLS are a barbarian only deal.
Rice balls and teriyaki.
mine is at 12% <3
