[BlackFox]

Some great pics of Heath in here, thanks for them all chaps.

What a Legend he was!!

 

[xxbluejay21]

I love you Heath. RIP

 

[Fudgie]

He's still the best Joker of the screen.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

The best film of the trilogy, without a shadow of a doubt. In no small way attributable to Heath Ledger.

 

[Marvolo]

Found this video with a bunch of pictures I've never seen before. Thought I'd share it. Oh, and the pic at 5:34 is of particular interest.

Miss yah' Heath.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Gone, but never forgotten.

 

[The Joker]

5 years. I remember it well.

Heath's Joker is still my favorite on screen Joker.

I'll never forget the first time I saw Heath Ledger's Joker on screen. Sitting in an IMAX theater in December of 2007 at the viral screening of the prologue.

That shot just stood out to me and to this day it's one of my favorite shots of the entire trilogy. So ominous. His posture, the slightest streak of green in his hair. You didn't know...but you knew.

Still can't believe it was only a month afterwards that he passed. It didn't seem possible that the guy who was just about to burst to a whole new level of stardom was gone. Hell of a legacy he left behind though.

Gone but not forgotten. One can only imagine how many other brilliant performances we have missed due to his passing. My thoughts go to his family and particularly his daughter, whom i'm sure feel his loss every day. RIP mate

 

[Marvolo]

Can't believe its been 5 years. What a tragedy and a loss. RIP, Heath.

 

[cjimene8729]

i cant believe none u of can address my inquiry( 1 stamped VIRAL JOKER CARD)....STUFFS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE....OH AND RIP LEDGER....ARKHAM GAMES JOKER IS BETTER......HAMILL JUS IS A NATURAL AS JOKERS VOICE....BUT LEDGER MADE HIM REAL....MY FAVE LINE IS WHEN HES LIKE, Don't talk like you're one of them! You're not... even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their "code"... it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these uh, these "civilized people," they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

Was I the only one who thought his death was a publicity stunt and that he'd show up in the sequel? Call me an optimist... :/ RIP

Really great video of interviews with Heath, and then the rest of the TDK cast and Nolan talking about working with Heath.

 

[gwynplaine]

^ Great video. Thanks for posting it. Truly special and rare performance.

 

[gwynplaine]

I joined this website a few years ago for this movie and more specifically for this Gentleman and his truly amazing performance.
I will revisit both of them, hopefully for many years to come.

 

[The Joker]

My favorite comic book movie villain. What a performance. He may well be the most memorable character from Nolan's trilogy, IMO.

I agree

 

[RustyCage]

An interesting/enjoyable possibility. Wait for the interview.

Not sure if Heath is on the record citing this as an inspiration, but the resemblance is charming and sensible.

 

[Hulk1968]

R.I.P. Heath.

We miss you, but shall never forget.
