Ok, it's now all over the 'net (at least comic and movie related 'net sites). Rumors are flying that an offer was made to Heath Ledger for the role of the Joker for the next Batman movie! So far, I've read the news on Latino Review, The Movie Blog, and MovieWeb. It pretty much has been or already been anounced at Comic-Con.
My opinion? Good, and Bad, and I Dunno.
Good in that he'll probably do well in the role. With his recent success in a dramatic role in Brokeback Mountain (I have yet to see it...), let's hope he can carry that success to the Batman franchise.
Bad in that Adrian Brody is out of the picture. Adrian had the looks and the acting chops to fill the role really well. Oh well..
I Dunno in that I don't think Heath has played a major villain (and a whacked out one at that) before. This will be unknown territory for both the actor and the audience.
If the rumor turns out to be true, then good luck Mr. Ledger. Please, please don't camp it up!
