But in the interviews I've heard with directors and fellow cast members, Heath Ledger took great pride in his work and loved seeing himself in the movies he adored. I think it would be a greater disservice to pretend like his fabulous performance never existed in The Dark Knight. If the next film is done right, The Joker will have to play at least a small role, maybe no more than five minutes of screen time. I plan to give my thoughts for the next movie in an upcoming post.

The SHIFT key thing was dead on. Dang, it looks like I was being a smartass there, but I wasn’t (for once). The SHIFT key thing was dead on.

That comment was funny. Maybe you shouldn't use the picture of you in your Batman costume on JDate? Might help. Wow. That comment was funny.

Ledger was popular, but he was still somewhat of an unknown when he was first cast. Nolan might be opting for a similar actor next time, which is why I've included Clive Owen and Matthew McConaughey.

Mark Hammill has done well vocally with the role, but his physical performance has always left a lot to be desired. Matt Damon could be a dark horse - he's a better actor than some of his choices suggest. I can't see any of the others really getting their teeth into the role.
