He was not that good. You as a collective of consumers have been brainwashed into believing that he was absolutely the end-all, be-all of actors and that no one else could act like him. Some people were even trying to get the role of the Joker banned by any other actor because they believed that no one else could EVER do it as good… Bullshit.
He was okay at best. He made a few good movies. 10 Things I Hate About You… and, A Knight’s Tale being the only two I thought was even worth watching. Most of his other movies were boring and lifeless, just like his rotting corpse. Everybody goes on and on about Brokeback Mountain… fuck that. A gay cowboy movie never should have been made in the first place. Nobody but other gay men want to watch a fucking cowboy spit in his hand and slap in another man’s hairy asshole. John Wayne is spinning in his grave like a fucking dynamo at the thought of that shit.
And as far as his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight goes? It was Mediocre at best.
Jack Nicolson was so much better as the Joker in Batman that comparing the two makes me want to dig up Heath just so I can punch the worms out of his hollowed out skull. If you ask Jack about his role as the Joker he will look at you like you shit in his dinner plate and then asked him to sign it for you. Why, because as an actor, he has done at least a dozen other films that he wants people to remember him by. Just look his name up on IMDB to see a list of all the incredible movies that he has starred in. Playing the Joker was a Low Point in his Career. Just ask him... he will tell you if he doesn't smash your face in.
Cesar Romero made an Awesome fucking Joker! He was off his rocker in that old batman show… that’s how the Joker is supposed to be. Not a dark and quiet, brooding Emo. Hell, Mark Hamill’s voice made a much more convincing character as the Joker in the Batman Cartoon Series.
All this on top of the fact that I keep hearing people go on about the “Tragedy” of his death. Look here you idiots… it’s not a tragedy when a drug-addict offs himself… it’s a fucking blessing. One less scumbag piece of shit drug-addict in this world is a good thing.
Just because he was a movie actor... doesn’t mean that he was afflicted by some horrible disease that was beyond his control. No. He likes to get fucked up and he paid the price. Get over it. When the crack head that lives in the ally OD’s and dies with a load of shit in his pants behind a dumpster, nobody gives a fuck… so why does everybody turn this guy into a fucking HERO? Fuck Him. But for some reason this happens every time an actor dies just before he releases a movie. Anybody remember James Dean?
Besides… if he would have lived, that movie wouldn’t have made a quarter of the profits that it did. But EVERYBODY had to go see the last performance of the hero actor who’s brooding suicidal tendencies supposedly showed through into his role as the Joker.
What the fuck ever. If you ask me he was just TRYING to act like Jack Nicolson. People just like to rubber neck… like seeing a dead body on the side of the road in an accident. Same fucking Thing.
It’s a good thing he’s dead… otherwise they would have wanted to make another shitty Batman movie with the famous Joker. Or Worse… Brokeback Mountain II.
The Batman that they have in movies now relies on his money… and that’s just plain bullshit. He relies on bulletproof armor and high tech gadgets built by someone else. He has others do most of his detective work for him and uses his millions to make Bruce Wayne look like a prick. And for some reason, just being bad-ass Batman isn’t enough… they had to make him more like faggy ass Superman.
His suit is so armored he can’t move his neck. This is just an updated version of the old Batman movie costume that was made of rubber and came equipped with a programmable remote-control Batarang, extending spatula of doom that shoots out of his wrist so he doesn’t actually have to punch someone and… Bat-Nipples.
