Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker

[Big Chee]

I've been hearing some great things about his role in the upcoming installment of Batman.

It looks like he pulled it off. This version of the Joker looks so sadistic, sinister and bloodthirsty.

I have a feeling he going to turn into a modern day James Dean, his image as the Joker memorialized on t-shirts and memorabilia when it's all said and done.

Hell with that. I'm going to remember him as Mel Gibson's patriotic young son.

LOL!!!

Seriously...there's been some great reviews about his performance. And viewing the snippets of Youtube clips with him playing the Joker already has me excited to watch the movie. He looks like he really pulled it off.

No way. Julia Stiles' boyfriend in 10 Things I Hate About You.

Was Heath Ledger in The Client?

Really looking forward to taking in his performance. One minor ***** I have tho - the Joker looks like a vagrant, a bum in Dark Knight. In the comics, he is always dressed to the nines.

Given the identity of this forum's moderator, it would make more sense if you gave your monitor a flying headbutt.

Read Kevin Smith's review of "Dark Knight" somewhere and he f-ing loved it, which is a good sign to me.

Apparently Ledger's performance is getting Oscar buzz.
I'll say that again.
Oscar buzz for a role in a super-hero movie.

Frick on a stick, I am pumped for this movie.

But would there be Oscar buzz if Ledger was still alive?

A comic book character on a T-shirt? I've never heard of such a thing ;)

If he did as well as the buzz indicates . . . his portrait as the Joker would be immortalized anyway, regardless of his death.

Joker's kind of a character that has had a t-shirt or two.

I've been looking forward to this movie ever since the scene in Batman Begins where the Joker card is flipped at Batman. Was worried with Ledger's death that they were going to burry it somehow. Ledger looks like he did an amazing job as the Joker.

Heath Ledger in Brokeback was one of the great acting performances of maybe the last ten or twenty years.

I was never a huge Heath Ledger fan, as a girl.  Never got the sex appeal.  But I have to say, you can tell by the released images before he even died that his performance was going to be a big deal.  According to a lot of stories, he pretty much lost himself immersing in this role.  I hope he kicked the ever-loving **** out of this.  I really do.

I keep forgetting that was him.
