IT'S a shame Heath Ledger is missing the raves starting to pour in over his performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," which debuts July 18. "Ledger gives a blockbuster performance . . . [and] will absolutely be nominated for an Oscar," entertainment writer Sam Rubin gushes on his KTLA-TV blog. "Ledger offers perfect pitch, perfect tone, his Joker hits all the right notes . . . [he] is the best villain in a superhero movie of all time." Ledger died at 28 from a fatal drug overdose in his SoHo loft.
Gotham City, September 27, 2007
Commissioner Gordon: I don't know what to do Chief O'Hara. The Joker is running wild in the streets of Gotham City. He is murdering innocent bystanders, running wild in a crime spree and chewing up all the scenery.
Chief O'Hara: Should I get the Bat phone?
Commissioner Gordon: No, I am afraid that Batman is no match for the Joker. After all Val Kilmer got too fat and George Clooney is too liberal. He doesn't even want to give the death penalty to child molestors. I think he is on the Supreme Court now. We don't even know what Batman will show up. I am afraid we have to resort to drastic measures.
Chief O'Hara: You don't mean.....
Commissioner Gordon: Yes go to the roof...and turn on the Olsen Twins Signal....
(Chief O'Hara goes to the roof, and turns on a thin searchlight. In the night sky over Gotham City, a signal is illuminated...it is two stick figures standing on top of a pot of money)
To be continuied..........

The real problem is that you don't know how much of the review-age is hagiographic.
Then, if it's true, you have to wonder how much of his acting "technique" got him killed.
