All music is my own. Visit www.myspace.com/nosalvation This video is a tribute to Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker in the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight. After seeing the film last night (17th July Perth Australia Time) I must say that Heath Ledger as the Joker is without a doubt the greatest villian, and possibly the greatest character, ever to appear in cinema. It had my captivated from beginning to end. A definate choice for the Oscar. When it was announced that Heath Ledger would be cast as the Joker in 2006 I was very sceptical, like many others, if he was the right choice for the role. But when the first official image appeared on the internet in early 2007 all my doubts were blown away by the amazing and horrifying direction that they taking this iconic character, and probably the greatest villian in history. As more and more footage and voice snippets were released I was assured that Ledger had surely made this role his own. The tragic fact that he passed away shows the world has lost a truely dedicated and inventive actor. The animation at the end is not part of the tribute video, but I thought while I'm uploading a video why not include it. You may like it/ you may not. You don't have to watch it.

I made a fan trailer for Dark Knight, Come look on my page, It's called The Golden Knight trailer "The Dark Knight" We made both Dark Knight trailers but instead of Batman Visuals we replaced them with shots from Goldeneye, A very wild combination but all the characters are there,(Bond-Batman,Trevelyn-Twoface,Xenia-Joker) I would even say it might be one of the best fan trailers ever made, am I wrong? *I'm trying to become a movie trailer editor, do I have a shot? , I'd love some feedback

I think Tim Curry would have been amazing. He was brilliant in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. But Heath nailed his performance and it's certainly an amazin last role for him.

If you think Martin Lawrence or Bob Sagett are better actors than Ledger then you need to put down the weed.

Robin Williams was up for the part back in the old Batman. He was never even considered for Nolan's Joker. If Ledger had turned down the role it would have gone to Jude Law who was Nolan's 2nd choice.

It's not about how you are in real life, it's about acting. And Heath's acting was perfect, he transformed himself for the role and he is a much better dramatic actor than Robin "hamm it up" Williams.
