Ledger's character was so good that they changed to comics to make the Joker more like him.

End of discussion.

On the subject of The Joker, everyone is going to have their favourite, but for mine it's Ledger and here's why. Nicholson played Joker as equal parts Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero's Joker. Was it good? Sure. But it was just another great Nicholson role. If you really want to judge it, don't compare it to other Jokers - compare it to other Nicholson roles.

As for TDK, be it Ledgers or Nolans idea (or both) to portray The Joker in this style was nothing short of masterful. Nobody should ever listen to what comic book "purists" have to say because they are nothing but insulated and narrow minded fanboys. I look forward to them losing control of their bodily functions if they go ahead and make Joseph Gordon Levitt the Batman.

I disagree with Asher about Ledgers death making it seem better - it sure didn't do anything to make crap like The Patriot or A Knight's Tale seem any better, now did it? (I don't care what anyone says, AKT was fucking terrible) But the guy showed he had chops in Brokeback Mountain and Monsters Ball.

In any case, it really just comes down to personal preference.

I prefer the nolan joker as well... I'm not hating on any of the batman jokers though, all have their merit.

I use to think she was really hot because when I was a teenager and apparently very silly... because she is not very attractive compared to the other divas.

That's because they weren't his last,most focused upon roles. No one cares at all about Patriot or Knight's Tale anymore.

Pretty much
that's the Brandon Lee effect, if you die during or right after making a movie, that movie becomes bigger than your career.

Also I fucking love A Knight's Tale, it makes me laugh

True that. Laser Mission hardly became a classic. Or did it?

But as I said, Ledger had chops, Lee....not so much. That we got to see anyway. I watched some of The Crow the other day. Now there's a movie time hasn't been kind to. It made me wince more than once. I suppose it's OK when you're 20 or so and don't really comprehend if what you're watching is actually good or not. But within a limited scope, it's OK I suppose.

Southern Blood, you'd be surprised. I've seen people on here rave about AKT as if it were Shakespeare directed by Kubrick.

It's probably about 10% Aussie(if that) and the rest international. I believe there's some law that insists that a certain amount of home made stuff has to be shown.
