Is the new Batman movie so popular because Heath Ledger is dead

I know it's a bit blunt and I'm not pretending to have seen it. I know the reveiws are good for the film and his performance but is it really good enough to already be the third highest grossing film ever?

I thought the exact same thing.................but then i saw the movie and he is fantastic in it, and deserves all the praise he is getting for it.



Also, he was such a fantastic actor, it is so sad hes no longer with us, that i am not going to begrudge him the hype of his last film made.



RIP Heath-you are missed!
I don't believe so. It's also a very good movie. I believe if Heath Ledger was still alive it would still be popular because it's a very good movie. He gave the performance of his life in that movie, even if he hadn't died he should have gotten an Oscar nod for it. I think people who think it's "just a comic book movie" like to use his death as a scape goat for it's popularity, when it really is just that good.Is the new Batman movie so popular because Heath Ledger is dead
Well have you seen the movie... it is the most mindblowing, awesome superfantastico, supercool action flick of the year. it really blows your mind away. Filled with amazing dialouges and just unbelievable action sequences, it truelly is the biggest movie of the year. ledger is actually scary...amazing lines also help. for example The joker holds the heroine from a high storey window and threatens batman. Batman says "Let her go". to which our man the Joker says- "Interesting choice of words..... and lets her go". Also while talking to Harvey Twoface he says " I am like a barking Dog, running behind a carl i wud not know what to do if I catch one" pointing to the chaotic nutjob character that he plays
Oh, i think some people pay attention to it because he died, but no some people didnt even like his performance, and it truly is just an amazing film. Heath Ledger has definately made one of the best performances i have ever seen. He really gets into his character and brings excitement into the movie with some humor well, cruel humor.

i think it is, not only because-you're right- everyone wants to see a dead man alive, but it IS a brilliant movie with great effects and it's kind of disturbing as well. Heath's acting in this movie is also brilliant, and the joker really makes the film worthwhile. I think that it's because of heath ledger that this movie is the third highest grossing film ever.
i believe its popular for the same reason titanic was popular, and that is that it is just a very good movie. Ledger's last performance is very amazingly disturbing and I think that is why people are going to see it.
I haven't seen the dark knight yet but i loved the first one and i'm a big batman fan, so i know it not because of heath. Batman seems to have a large fan base.
No, the movie is fantastic.
yeah, I think so. Its really that good. Don't care if Ledger is dead or not, its good.
Not for me, it;s a good, exciting well made movie!



A rare thing these days!
A little of both honestly. It is a good movie and Ledger's last.
