Digg Comments From When They Announced Heath Ledger as The Joker

(almost two years ago to the day)

While I will attempt to not compare him to Nicholson or “The Batman” joker, I just dont know if Ledger has that crazy and creepy side needed to play the joker. I will admit that I havnt seen too many of his movies, but the ones I have seen him in he doesnt play a creepy crazy guy completly off his rocker.

Ledger is wrong for this. He’s always seemed to be a very two-dimensional actor, not at all convincing, and here we have him trying to handle a character as deranged and maniacal as the Joker.

Horrible news. I don’t want Ledger as the Joker. He’s just so wrong. He doesn’t even have the look and his acting is mediocre, especially when he tries to act like Val Kilmer.

Honestly, there’s more Brokeback Mountain jokes than negative comments.
