This wasn't one of my top 5 choices, but I can see Heath as a young Joker in Nolan's Gotham Universe.

It could work.
Maybe. I'm all about actors trying new things...for the most part. There may be something there that wasn't there before...

Heath and Christian in one movie!

Anyway I think Mr. Ledger is incredibly talented and can pretty much do anything he puts his mind to (pardon the cliche). Note- he's never played a villian before so this could be a good way to stretch even more as an actor. My only concern is that Jack Nicholson is so synonomos with the role that people might have trouble accepting a new face. I think as long as Heath really tries to create his own character (which I'm sure he will do) and not rely on previous performances, all will be good.

If we're going to photoshop Mr. Ledger, I have other ideas in mind . . .

Are you sure you haven't already put those ideas into action, DG? If you have, I expect a delivery in my message box a.s.a.p.

Frankly, Chris Nolan is populating Gotham with all these hot villains (Come on, you know Liam's still got it and Cillian Murphy DEFINITELY did).
Not that I'm complaining.

Papa, I'm sure you're just upset they're not reintroducing Catwoman as a leather dominatrix.
Heath was up for that part, too.

i don't get folks who pay for that, bway. like i told someone the other day, if i want to get beat, i'll just insult my wife thanks. never been a fan of or saw the appeal to a dominatrix. 'cept maybe for the "this citadel can and shall be taken" aspect of it.
