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.

The new Batman movie? Who liked it?!?

I just saw the new batman movie last night and 2 tell you the truth, it wasn't that good!!! it was way to long and not as good as every made it out to be.

does anyone agree with me??The new Batman movie? Who liked it?!?
wait wait whatt??? how did you NOT like that movie? you're tha first i kno that doesn't like it. haha well w.e er bodys got thier oppinion.:) but ya i do agree that it was wayy too long and they shudda ended it b4 they put two face in there. haha they killed him off too quick.

Do you think it is wrong to continue with the new batman movie after Heath Ledgers death?

In a blog I read recently I found out that some people thought that it was fine that they showed the film after his death I do not approve. I do intend to see the movie to see his last performance. I also found out that he may not be nominated for anything other that his performance in Brokeback Mountain I think to be remeber for a movie like this is somwhat retarded. Let me know what you think.Do you think it is wrong to continue with the new batman movie after Heath Ledgers death?
Heath Ledger's death should in no way effect the marketing or distribution of his last completed performance. If you tried to establish a precedence that no film could be shown in which all of the actors were no longer alive, you could systematically wipe out all film history.



I also don't understand why it is wrong for other people to watch "The Dark Knight" but it is fine for you to do so.



I think your elevator doesn't quite go all the way to the top.
i think they should continue no questions asked



heath ledger made the movie so he oviously wantd to be apart of it and have it in theatres so that should be more of a reason to move forward with the movie.



as for him being nominated for brokeback mountain, i have never seen it and never plan to c it. i never wanna c a gay cowboy movie (its just so wrong)



by the way ... i never saw the movie but i bet i no how he broke his back in the movie ;)

^^^^^

omg that is so wrong but i just thought of it and it made me laugh (sorry)Do you think it is wrong to continue with the new batman movie after Heath Ledgers death?
Well he was very devoted to the role so I think he would be disappointed that nobody was able to see the hard work he put into it. I want to see the movie because 1. I like Batman and 2. his joker is supposed to be so amazing. Although I understand what you mean. I have and never will watch the movie Queen of the Damned because it was the singer Aaliyah's last performance and I don't what to remember her as some evil vampire queen. May sound immature to sound people but that's my mindset on that.
I think you need to work on how you talk yourself before you judge what is "somewhat retarded".



You said for yourself that you will see the movie because you want to see his last performance, and Hollywood agrees with you. And they certainly aren't going to stop a multi-million dollar production because someone died. It has simply brought more attention to the movie, and the more hype there is the more money there is to be made. This is pretty simple stuff.Do you think it is wrong to continue with the new batman movie after Heath Ledgers death?
of course its OK....the franchise will continue. the thing is that since his performance was so great that the smart thing to do is to choose another villain instead of the Joker.



Remember a Batman movie is about Batman not the Joker...and even with this in mind there have been tons of Batmans...lol
This was his job. He put a lot of work and energy in that film and it would be disrespectful to not showcase his last movie! I would be very offended if something I had worked on for a year was thrown away after my death...not that I would ever know but you know what I mean
Hollywood doesn't care what you think, luckily. Although I never met Heath, I can assume that since "The Dark Knight" is supposed to be a big hit, that it is something he would want to be remembered by. It's not like some porno has surfaced with him or anything.
yes it is.



This how the original plot line was made out, read this and you will see why! http://www.lemonshell.com/comics/batmand鈥?/a>
No. Do you know how much money would have been lost if they didn't release the movie? We're talking millions and millions of dollars that the studios invested into this film. They probably didn't even think twice about not releasing it.
I'll always remember Heath as the gorgeous teen singing "Can't Take My Eyes off Of You" to Julia Stiles in "10 Things I hate About You" %26amp; him dancing around the football stadium bleachers declaring his love for "Kat". Brokeback Mountain was overrated btw!
The new Batman is just awesome.. and I really thinks it's Ledgers finest..



Too bad he won't be there when they'll nominate him for an Oscar :(
He worked hard on this role, and it's supposed to be one of his best. It's his swan song, it should be shared with everyone.
It did help to sell the film to the public,but at the end of the day the show must go on.every actor knows this
its about the movie not him. they are showing it because its a good mvie, not because heath is dead
he is bringing a new twist on a character over 40 years old, and will have it be his own. its not retarded if you think of it like this, Christopher Reeves did MANY good movies but he is known for Superman, its about being this ICON, and Ledger will be and immortal as the greatest version of this ICONIC character, plus if he wins an oscar for this role it will Validate Nolan who is an underrated director who brought people back to this character no one cared about since 1989. Brandon Lee Died in 1994, his last movie is The Crow, which he died filming, It is my all time favorite movie, it would have been DISHONORABLE to Brandon not to show people his work.

What did you think to the new Batman movie?

i thought Heath Ledger was so good in the movie, what do you think?What did you think to the new Batman movie?
Everyone keeps saying that this film is only popular because of Heath Ledgers death...how wrong are they? This has got to be the best film i've seen in a long time. The actors were outstanding, Christian Bale is the right man for batman and Heath Ledger was definitely the right choice for the joker. He knew exactly how to play it and was brilliant. I think its right he should be up for an oscar, he was an exceptional joker.
I think people should stop asking this question!!!



I thought it was great, lisp and all!!!What did you think to the new Batman movie?
IT WAS BRILLIANT!
excellent movie but i thought all the lead actors were very good christian bale gary oldman and heath ledger.What did you think to the new Batman movie?
I agree.

Heath did a spectacular job.

And the movie was amazing.

I really enjoyed it.

Can't wait for the next batman installments.
Honestly?....it started out brilliant but then I thought it dragged on a bit too long.
I thought it was great! And im not just saying this cuz Heath Ledger died, im saying it cuz it really was a great film. And Heath Ledger did a FANTASTIC job as the Joker. Definitely the best joker so far if you ask me. And I wish people would stop saying the reason this film was successful was cuz of Heath Ledgers death, because thats not why this film was so successful. This is a fantastic film, whether or not he is dead. Btw I hope he wins an oscar this year! He really deserves it!


I thought it was excellent!! Christian Bale was brilliant in it and so was Heath Ledger. I would have liked to see more of The Scarecrow in it though.
yes thought he was brilliant, i didnt really fancy seeing it not sure why as i have seen the old ones and liked them, anyway kids persuaded me to take them. i had thought that maybe heath ledgers performance was being hyped up cos he died but no he was brilliant, didnt like christian bale as batman, what happened to clooney or kilmer? thought he looked like michael vaughan (england cricked captain ex ) and with same level of personality - zero. thought it was a bit violent for a 12a, my kids were ok as they are nearly 12 but wouldnt want to take younger or more sensitive ones to see it.
Thought it was really good but there was too much crammed into it and could have made two movies out of it. You just wasted 5 points because people ask this question all the time and I got 2 points for it so thank you very much!
If you like Batman you should vote for it on this site and get a free gift card.
9/10 the film, ledger 10/10 and bale 8/10

Do you think Christian Bale will be able to bulk up in time for the new batman movie?

he got dangerously skinny for the fighter

and they start shooting in two monthsDo you think Christian Bale will be able to bulk up in time for the new batman movie?
Yes. He's a master of manipulating his own body weight/muscle mass. Don't worry--he'll look muscular enough.
Yes. He had less time to bulk up before Batman Begins which was right after he finished filming for the Machinist which he lost even more weight for. This is a significantly smaller challenge.Do you think Christian Bale will be able to bulk up in time for the new batman movie?
its hollywood anything can be done.. now what the yoyo weight does to his health is another story... he seriously needs to lose the orange beard though...
Yea he's great just seen him on Oscars, i think he can pull it off.Do you think Christian Bale will be able to bulk up in time for the new batman movie?
His ego got bulked just now. Arrrgh. Geoffrey Rush SHOULD have won.
i love him :)

    I was wondering because of the recent events if it will set it back or what. thanks.Is the new batman movie the Dark Knight still going to be played this summer?
    they recently completed all filming.it will go on
    Yes.Is the new batman movie the Dark Knight still going to be played this summer?
    I think its going 2 be played
    I think it will probably still go onIs the new batman movie the Dark Knight still going to be played this summer?
    Yes, it will. Fortunately, Heath had just finished filming it before he died. It will be his last and greatest role!
    Of course it will...R.I.P Heath....
    It's still on for July.
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
    You can bet your a-- it will be.

    money is money and its going to be a big summer hit.
    Yes...the movie is done being filmed...with this tragic event, I am sure it will draw even more to the theaters to see Heath Ledgers last film...
    yes 100% yes they woudnt blow all da money away for nothing would they.
    I think so...I saw a small preview last nite on the news when they announced Heath Ledger's death....



    RIP heath
    yeah, if they didn't play it, it would be a disgrace to all the work he has done. not playing it would be like throwing his body to the sharks, or selling it on ebay...
    of course it is, don't be stupid

    $$$ comes before drama in the USA
    Life goes on and the show must go on. Hollywood doesn't care about it's stars and it's stars don't care about us.
    If itz done then yeah it should.
    Yes, the movie will still open this summer. Filming had already finished and the movie is in post production. So recent events will not affect the actual filming.



    This has happened before. For example, James Dean died while filming the movie Giant, and that film was still released.

    The guy who plays the Joker in the new batman movie was good will be in any more movies coming out soon

    they are working on a Heath Ledger clone as we speakThe guy who plays the Joker in the new batman movie was good will be in any more movies coming out soon
    he passed away but he was also filming another movie before he died its called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, he didnt get to finish it though, but the movie's still coming out with him in it, they've chosesn two other actors to portay him, atleast his character....its actually a pretty good mvie and idea you should look it up.
    Heath Ledger (the guy that played the joker) died Jan. 22nd of an accident drug overdose.



    He filmed one movie after "The Dark Night", before he died and its called "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" which is in post-production The guy who plays the Joker in the new batman movie was good will be in any more movies coming out soon
    um.........he can't do that due to the fact that he's dead......

    but the next movie that he starred in before his untimely death is The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. its coming out in 2009
    The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. He played the best joker ever though! I love the movie Dark Knight %26lt;3The guy who plays the Joker in the new batman movie was good will be in any more movies coming out soon
    It's coming out in December actually!

    He even accepted some award yesterday :)
    a Terry Gilliam film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Collin Farrell, and Jude Law



    other than that, no he's dead
    He's dead. But there is one more film that he'll be making an appearance in, though I don't know how much since he died during production. Its called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
    No, unfortunately, he will not.



    RIP Heath Ledger
    sorry..but he died in january because of an overdose...
    um....Heath Ledger died if you didn't know.



    So it would be a little hard for him to be in any more movies
    Hellz yeah...I think he's working on one right now!
    Uh...the guy who played Joker is dead. At least, I think so.
    he's dead. heath ledger.
