Honoring Heath Ledger at "The Dark Knight" Premiere

But of class the talented young Australian actor is gone, endorsement away in January based on information from an accidental overdose of prescription medications.

Heath's Joker is similar to those."

As Batman to Ledger's Joker, Christian Bale feels the expense of his co-star keenly. "I will not windfall but be clearly impressed outside of rumors in how he did when it is this an iconic villain.

"I want to God he was sitting right here through us speaking roughly it. I view their movie as an amazing celebration of his talent. It's definitely tragic the present currently is the the preceding extensive strive so he did."
