Comments for THE DARK KNIGHT: Heath Ledger's Joker lives on! at http://themovie-fanatic.com , comment 1 to 2 out of 2 comments http://themovie-fanatic.com Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:02:50 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/darkknight_thejoker/#comment-1237 Joker has always been publicised, maybe even more than Batman himself. The first photos regarding The Dark Knight were of Joker's, not Batman's. This has been the trend before he passed away and it's the trend that's going on now. I don't see any difference nor exploitation. The 'toy story' is a different issue though, it disgusts me. - Usumezbas Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:41:22 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/darkknight_thejoker/#comment-1029 I'm a big fan of Heath Ledger, and have been for ages, and I don't think this is exploitation. The movie is centered around The Joker, and by all accounts Heath gave a helluva performance. I think WB is handling the promotion the same way they would have done if Heath was still alive. Look back to the trailer that came out before his death. The Joker [i]made[/i] that trailer, and it set us up to expect even more of him before the movie's release. That's what we're getting. In my opinion, if WB didn't use a Joker-heavy promotion, it would be disrespectful to an amazing performance by an extraordinary talent. - kellagood Sat, 17 May 2008 16:14:12 +0100
