just like someone had to ask the Oscar question, i think someone has to have the incredibly poor taste (i.e. BALLS!) to ask the most obvious question surrounding this movies success.

okay, let's not say "kill" as if they'd actively seek his death. but, do you really think they mind that he's dead? i don't.

in the sequel?

Not saying The Joker would never show up again, but isn't that generally the hook? A New bad guy?

had Ledger's death not occured

Surely it being Ledger's last film boosted its box office that much higher, but I honestly think it still would have broke records if he was alive. And then there would've been the build to the sequel...

This movie wouldn't have made as much money (although it would still have been the biggest of the summer easily) but this combined with the next one might well have surpassed whatever dark knight plus no. 3 end up making.

...as in

"its great"

"greatest comic book movie ever!"

"totally awesome"


when in reality it was a borefest outside of the Joker's sketch comedy routines.

because of Ledger's death, the Dark Knight has become the current pop culture fascination, obsession, and....fix.

"its the in thing, you have to see it", you have to like it, you have to think its great..."

its this summer's version of sex and the city.

only difference is, that sex and the city was actually somewhat good, and none of them bitches died.

the movie suffers from poor writing. the characters tell the story through exposition in their dialogue, as opposed to the director actually doing his job, a bitch move as a director/writer. one too many storylines. the main character, the dark knight, is the 5th wheel and afterthought. dent and the joker overshadow him (even gordon to an extent). You can barely make out what the f*ck Alfred was saying with his accent. F*cked the whole fabric of the "burning the forrest down" moral of the story up.

again, all this sh*t would be noticed, had Ledger had not died. there would be no oscar talk. he would be just a cool ass character had he lived. not a legend in the making, oscar-worthy, james dean like tragedy they are making Heath's death out to be.

the execs are happy as f*ck. and scared as f*ck. they raking in the dough now, but they had Ledger's death to get over the hump, since the movie they actually made sucked. they can't get over next time. the Joker is now a stain on the brain of the viewing public. Ledger is now the new James Dean. Whatever villain you put in his place, aint going to work. Not to say, it couldn't work. It just won't. the viewing public has deified Ledger. Commercially they are straight. They could still do Spider-Man 3 numbers with the 3rd movie. But i don't think they will be immune from Spider-Man 3-like critical panning, like the Dark Knight should have received. Because if they continue the b.s. they did with the Dark Knight, they won't have Ledger's death as a masquerade (no pun-o) the 3rd time around.

Only two things I disagree with are Sex and the City (haven't seen it) and this being a bad movie. I started thinking and was Heath Ledger's acting job any better than Liam Neeson in the first? I just think a lot of the rave is that Ledger had more room to go over the top with it so people think it's definitely better (but he did do a great job with it).

This is pretty much spot on though.

don't fully agree due to the fact that the film is not a "Borefest" as you say.

that's just the opposition in you to not like what the gen pop does. but heath played a good sturdy villain and the movie deserves a solid 7.5-8.2

standard action film with all the bangs, car chases, etc you need. even though it's not ray or the piano doesn't make it a borefest

Execs being nervous that he killed their movie? His character fit RIGHT in the movie...

Certainly The Dark Knight made boatloads of money, perhaps in part to the media around his death, but they still could have made ten times as much over the life of his career. It makes no long term financial sense for him to die.

Just looking out of the window
Watching the asphalt grow
Thinking how it all looks hand-me-down

The haul from a second Joker movie alone would dead this, esp. since now they're stuck in a situation where they cant use the character again for a loooong time, if not ever.

Oh, and the fact that the role made him a big star before the death or the movie's release, and @ 29 he presumably he had a good 20-30 years of working left...

Yeah, I'm thinking they would've let him live, lol

just because one of the leads died.

Not too mention the nepotism factor

.

to call 911, something tells me they might have slowly backed out of the crib, went to the deli on the corner, grabbed a pastrami on rye, sat down, read a bit of the Post and came back later to make the discovery.

But then again, I'm a cynical asshole.

I can't think of another public icon, paparazzi target, AND acclaimed actor of Heath's stature dying in their prime in my lifetime.

Next, tag on that his final film is an insanely popular franchise, and it's the biggest actor death in the lives of most of the youthful target audience, mind you.

Those who are less cynical certainly have no hard evidence that the death helped the film. But that's because there's NEVER been something like this. A franchise this popular mixed with a tragically dead young popular celeb at the height of his career?

That's what legends are made of. That's how phenomenons are born.

I'm just throwing that out there. While the hype was always huge, the death made it go nuclear. And while it may not be empirically proven on any stat sheet, the unprecedented nature of this film's circumstances very well seem to be indicated in the unprecedented amount of money it's making.

My movies: http://russellhainline.com
My movie reviews: https://letterboxd.com/RussellHFilm/
My beer TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebeertravelguide

I can be reasonable to assume (since this whole post is all assumption and speculation) that Ledger's death added to the box office that first week. Ledger's alive, it makes a shitload of moneyl. He's dead, it breaks first-week records.

After that? I don't think so. This movie is getting second, third, and fourth viewings. You don't get that from customers who wouldn't have seen the movie without Ledger dying. That's hardcore fans that loved the movie.
