People like a legend. When Heath Ledger died of a prescription drug overdose in January 2008, he had just completed principal photography on his Academy Award-winning role of the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s grown-up Batman flick The Dark Knight. With zero foundation in confirmed public knowledge, a narrative sprung up around Ledger’s troubled final days, that the psychological demands of portraying a figure as sick and twisted as the Joker weighed too heavily on the actor. The apocryphal notion that the role ultimately drove Ledger to suicide is way off the mark, however, explains Ledger’s sister Kate.
Heath Ledger's performance as Joker in The Dark Knight is obviously considered one of the best performances in a comic book movie (if not ever, amma right?), but we don't get to see a lot of behind the scenes footage. Here are some photos of Heath testing out the costume for Joker from The Dark Knight!

Remember back before 'The Dark Knight Rises' came out and there was all that controversy about no one being able to understand what the hell Bane was saying? Christopher Nolan was very against modifying his voice, but seems he was pressured into making him more clear and easier to understand. In my opinion, it almost seemed like Nolan was kinda messing with the studio for making him do it, cause a
By now, unless you went into hiding before July 18th, 2008 with zero electricity or somethin, you've seen Heath Ledger's award winning performance as Joker in 'The Dark Knight'. So, you have an idea of his voice and mannerisms. Check out this interview of Tom Waits from 1979, and ask yourself, 'Was Heath Ledger's 'Joker' inspired by Tom Waits?'

I couldn't help but laugh at the Batman actor's manneris
