Is Heath Ledger Dead?
I mean come on, you have to ask this question after the latest Batman release right? What’s a summer blockbuster without a little conspiracy theory
**Spoiler Alert**
Sad to say, Heath Ledger surely died of a prescription overdose, but his latest performance has left fans wanting more. I went and saw the midnight showing of The Dark Knight, and I was not disappointed. While most every actor turned in a good performance, it was ledger who clearly stole the show. His psychotic portrayal of Batman’s most classic villain was astonishing.
There were so many aspects of the part that made it great. The licking of the lips was strangely irresistible. The desire to tell everyone how he received his scars (with a different story every time) was priceless. My personal favorite was him walking away from the hospital, donned in some type of dickies medical scrubs, cursing his remote control for not blowing up the building properly. The walk he had in that skirt was incredible!
The movie has drawn out all kinds of fans, old and new, and is setting record performances at the box office. When I went on Thursday night, all kinds of people were dressed as Batman characters and other dark attire. I saw plenty of gothic costumes and other apparel to fit the part. Many of my friends even dressed up, and had a good time with it.
We are all hoping that like Gordon, somehow, Heath can come back from the dead as the Joker for an encore performance. Hopefully, the awards of the year will reflect his great performance. If only his death was not so serious…
