Oh yes…I think also that some of the best actors have the ability to inhabit a character almost to the point of dissociating…I wondered if that happened to him…I’ve read a couple of autobiographies in which actors have described feeling as if the “role” had taken them over.
An incredible man, so much talent wasted. What I loved about Heaths Joker was that he didn’t try to copy Jack Nicholson’s Joker, he took the role and made it his own.
Agree with all, to me Heath took over the movie by his portrayal. Leaving batman as a ho-hum character. At least what I remember of it. Has been over two years since I last seen it. So to be honest the plot is fuzzy. However with his makeup, made the Joker a face to remember.

Indeed he was. I still believe that this was his greatest role. He totally nailed the character in a way that other actors had not.

He really did but I have the distinct feeling that had he not died, he would have gone on to even greater roles. So much talent in that guy

I have to agree. He died so young and with his skill and talent, he would have gone far.
