Heath Ledger, The Joker, And What’s to Come
It’s unfortunate that a promising actor/artist lost his life this week. The discussion of his life will eventually turn to what will happen to the Batman franchise and the Joker. I think the best solution in this instance would be to have the Joker portrayed through CGI in any further appearances. Normally I’m against the use of such technology in films but I think in this case it would allow the character to attain the mythical status that he has in the comic books. Couple this with the sheer fact that no one will be able to really replace Ledger in the role and you have the perfect opportunity to take the franchise to the next level.
Regardless of whether it was accidental or by his own hand, it is unfortunate that the arts lost such a promising person and even more tragic for his family. My prayers go out to them.
