I figured I'd post it here since The Dark Knight was...his last film
RIP.

Shame to lose such a great actor who would, no doubt, be in many more Batman movies (as well as other quality titles, of course
Um, also, it's very sad.
The Joker was probably my least favorite Batman character, but from what I've seen he took the role above and beyond. I remember reading an article about him and how he beat out some other impressive actors for the role, and how he had a book with sadistic things the Joker would consider funny - like AIDS, for example.
Just so random. What a waste.
the dark knight is in post production so it wont affect this movie.
I know it won't affect THIS movie. I'm worried about the future movies. All accounts are that he is an excellent Joker. Not only are actors going to be gunshy of the role because it will be a touchy thing to take over for a young actor who died, they are quite probably going to avoid the role because he (most likely) sets the standard for what the Batman Begins Universe's Joker is like. Who wants to play "Heath Ledger, the promising young actor who died suddenly and tragically, as the Joker"? Because that's exactly what any subsequent actors will need to do: perform another actor's interpretation of the character, but not just any other actor, but one who most people recognized as a special, promising talent.
Then again, maybe the Joker gets killed, so it might not be an issue.

Oh, my heart goes out to his family, estranged wife/girlfriend, and little daughter.
Wait, I don't know Heath Ledger at all, or his family, and I don't send my heart out to the thousands of other people who die every day who I don't know, so why would this guy be any different?
Maybe I'll just talk about the one thing in his life that was relevant to my interests.
Or you can not talk at all, how about that?
Or you can just stop with the "Oh my delicate sensibilities are offended by you talking about something practical when a man I never knew just died" act, how about that?
How about you learn how to respect a human life?
You're acting like a piece of shit. A dude just died for no good reason and all you care about is your own entertainment. Show some compassion and act like a fucking human being.
Who?
I don't think there is anything wrong with being glad he finished The Dark Knight though. When I heard that he had, I was thankful because it means he ended his career on a high note. Which, while not nearly as good as having him alive, is at least the best thing given the terrible situation.
this is ironic.
Stop posting and start mourning. People you do not know are dying.
It's in post production, so yes his filming was complete. Which is good because it's not like he'll be filming any more scenes or anything.
Looks like this movie will have that creepy 'The Crow' vibe.
I think he means because you're a complete douche to everyone and now you're yelling at someone to respect someone he's never had any contact with.
No I'm not.
I'm not saying you have to hold a candlelight vigil or some shit but god damn people.
Not that a humble noob like me would ever contradict He Who Moderates The Forum, but this *is* a comic book forum. It doesn't surprise me that the Batman movie is one of the first things that springs to mind when the forumers hear about Heath's death. Plus I think the posts here have been a lot more respectful than the "hur hur jousting accident" and "goddammit he's dead and Brittney lives?" posts I've seen on other forums.
it actually was from a couple years ago when gnt had the chat thread. a friend of mine had been killed in a car crash and he acted like a dick about it. BUT that's in the past and it has nothing to do with heath ledger and i meant to delete the ironic post last night but it slipped my mind.
i liked pretty much every heath ledger film i saw. even that rock and roll knight movie.
and i sincerely apologize about it
because you're right, i was that type of person then and i hope i've changed
I didn't say that it wasn't normal to wonder about the status about the Batman movie.
I'm just saying that it's weird that it's the first thought that some people bothered to post. People get more worked up over fictional characters' deaths around here than a real person's, and that's a little...off.
Dear god. You realize what this means if that's the case right?
In a way, the Joker actually killed someone in real life.
That's kind of creepy in a whole 'nother way.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Because surely one's post is indicative of their immediate thoughts after hearing the news.
