i will begin by pointing out that without the Joker there is no real reason for Batman to be in existence. they are juxtaposed in all aspects. from the Jokers wild colors and fanatical laugh vs the black ensemble and gravelly voice of the Batman. they are opposite sides of the same coin.
with this knowledge i wish to pay homage to what i am thinking was/is the greatest actor to play the Joker ever. when i first heard that Heath Ledger was going to play the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie... i had my doubts... until i saw the new trailer. all doubt left. they finally got the feel of the Joker in this new film. i was simply floored.
Mr. Ledger was found dead, a few hours ago in his apartment. he was age 28 and was the star of 17 Films (counting the not yet released Dark Knight). i am always saddened when i hear the news that talented actors that i admire have passed before their time. he will always be the best Joker in my mind.
