The Dark Knight More from Ledger

[StorminNorman]

How about 'No, not my kind of movies', I mean, since he's working on one that has tons of followers and comic fans?

True, there are much more tactful ways of saying it - however from what I have read of his in the past - this is more of his personality.

 

[Octoberist]

I want "Ledgeowned" to sweep the nation.

 

[El Payaso]

I want Ledger to be Comicbookmovieowned big time!

Once again I don't care about Ledger's opinion as long as he ends up making a good Joker(though still 50/50 to me). He should practice...if you can't say anything nice. Or said it better. But hey he could hate jews for all I care.

But the fact he finds them boring is hilarious to me. I mean...he starred in Brokeback Mountain.

I'm going to start saying Die Hard is boring. Just for the laughs.

 

[zer00]

And he may hate comic book movies, but he digs what Nolan did with Batman, so to some extent he has to enjoy the bat-world.

No offense. Not saying I don't believe the Ledge, but we have no idea if he ACTUALLY likes BB. And if I disliked BB but got offered to play the Joker and the last perosn to play him as Jack Nicholson? I'd take it

Even if you thought the movie would suck?

Sure, if it advanced my career and gave me a healthy paycheck. Actors do it all the time. You can't honestly tell me that Ben Affleck took the role in Gigli thinking it would be a box office success.

I was responding to this:

He could still just be doing for the paycheck.

Bingo. I mean...how amny well known good actors have starred in pieces of ****? All of them. Even Bale was in Reign of Fire.

And Shaft...

You guys are pretty quick to judge Ledger (who was just being honest, by the way) when really, you guys should be kissing his feet for that comment.

Don't you realize that by him saying he normally HATES comic book films, that totally ups the ante as far as TDK is concerned? That alone speaks volumes of the quality that this script/film is going to be. You should all be thankful since that comment is essentially your confirmation that we have something special on our hands.

And no, he won't be wearing a mask.

 

[explode7]

I would really hate the idea of Ledger not reading the comics and you guys should too. Remember what happened by Bryan Singer not reading the comics we got SR a completely recycled vision of someone else. You guys should be afraid very afraid by ledgers comments.

And yet Ledger has made it clear he has no intentions of repeating what Nicholson did, so I guess there's really nothing to worry about. (Bryan Singer made it clear from the begining what he was doing, and anyone who couldnt see that when that horrible production started is blind).

If anything, the purists should be worried that they aren't hiring Mark Hammil and doing an exact copy of TAS, but are instead breaking new ground and doing something more Arkham Asylum esque.

I'm not saying the exact same thing that happened in SR happen to the Joker in TDK by Ledger not reading the comics but something similiar could happen that will turn off most fans like SR did.

 

[Morgoth]

Heath Ledger can kiss my ass. He doesn't like comic book movies, then he can go away. He says they're boring and dumb, what a moron, they're better than anything he's done. He does Brokeback and right away he thinks he's so great, he's nothing.

BB isn't that great and Nolan had better do something different with DK.

The difference is, Singer is a director, Ledger is an actor. An actor does what the director tells him. And we all know Nolan is interested in, and respectful to, the comics.

So you don't like Ledger for not liking comic book movies, but you yourself don't like BB all that much? Does that mean you want to kiss your own ass?

 

[The Fallen]

Man, who pissed in Heath's cornflakes? At least the guy is a straight shooter and honest. I do agree with him on this in that comic book movies are getting a bit boring with so many of them out. It just shows how respected Nolan is as a director.

And this Mask comment. COME ON PEOPLE! He's not wareing a goddamn mask. I bet ANYTHING The Joker will not ware a mask. As Red Hood sure, bit Joker, no freakin way. He never has and never will. So chill people, learn to read between the lines...

 

[Elisha Cuthbert]

Y'know, this is gonna sound ******ed from someone that posts on a superhero movie forum, but I actually agree with Ledger somewhat, but I believe he's thinking more about the ******ed comic book movies like Fantastic Four and catwoman. And he never said he hated comicbooks. So he's still cool with me.

 

[Boom]

"I actually hate comic book movies, like f***ing hate them, they just bore me sh**less and they're just dumb. But I thought what Chris Nolan did with [BATMAN BEGINS] was actually really good, really well directed, and Christian Bale was really great in it."

He means the FF4. LOL

This was really, really funny for some reason.
