"Why so Serious?"
Has it been 8 years already? I guess it has since the great Heath Ledger had made his mark on the role of the Joker. It is truly amazing how dark and iconic this character was. The thing that I loved is how far it actually strayed from the comic version but, in the best way possible. The great Christopher Nolan helped bring reality to a comic hero and also to a comic villain. Back when this movie was coming out people were very skeptical about Heath Ledger being cast as the green haired maniac. Now look at what we have! Many people saying how the new joker (Jared Leto) can't match Heath Ledger's performance. I personally agree with this statement. Jared Leto can't match Heath on being the joker! You know why? Its because these two actor's are playing two different roles. It may be the same character but, they are vastly different.
Dedication, unique, and raw talent is what can be said to describe not only the Joker but, Heath Ledger. I feel like Heath Ledger was the first on showing how much dedication you can put into a character and the role. Heath Ledger was the roots of what is now is becoming a phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Every comic book movie now focuses on the Villain to the point where they are making a movie about Villains(Suicide Squad). Let us just admire and absolutely miss the man who brought the scars, and scares to life. Heath, I never knew you but, we all miss you and we all wish we could have seen your character really play out in the Dark Knight Rises! So for now let us all remember a great actor and great human being!
P.S. You're the man Heath! (Click on the Link)
