The Dark Night is finally out and breaking box office records.

The Christian Bale incident is still a mystery.

Heath Ledger really stole the movie and wins in every scene he is in, having the juicy role that few actors could turn into a character and not a caricature. So suddenly the bored journalist have nothing to do but trying to create inexistencial stories that will sell. Do you care if Ledger’s last complete performance will earn him an oscar? Why bother about a story like that. Do you care who is going to replace him in the new movie (because it’s true that there will be a sequel after that kind of success). Moreover why replace him? why try to recreate another Joker story so soon, why not let the story to settle down, find some other dark Batman enemies for the next movie (i.e. re-introduce Catwoman a character so well built by Michelle Pfeifer, a second choice to Annette Benning, and eternally destroyed by Halle Berry and the dreadfull Pitof) there are so many in the comic books. The Batman chronicles are enormous and full of wonderful stories.

People insist on saying that Daniel day Lewis should replace Ledger on the next movie, but in his honour, Lewis just told at his acceptance speeches to let Ledger rest in piece and his family to grieve. It’s true that the Dark Night really won a great audience because it works a bit like a great tribute to the actor, since it’s a great conclusion with an exceptional performance. The same may happen with Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with Colin Firth, Jude Law and Johnny Depp stepping in to complete Ledger’s performance. Thanks to the story and some re-writes the creators of the film managed to keep Ledger’s scenes, while the rest ofthe actors will play the rest of the incarnations of Tony as he travels between imaginary worlds. Atribute or an exploitation I don’t know. But still is more honest than all these fake articles about Ledger deserving an award or not. Probably if he was alive the Academy wouldn’t even consider it an option.

I have to admit that my conclusion in my Last Goodbye to Heath Ledger was really wrong, the “no more gossips” ending was really too good to be true.
