What if Ledger didn't die?

Christopher Nolan's 2008 mega success about Batman's attempts to defeat a criminal mastermind known only as the Joker.
Well, even if he did recast the joker it would just come out as shit. Heath's performance has since become more than the sum of it's parts (much like the original star wars trilogy). Even if someone did give a better performance people wouldn't be open to seeing the joker replaced.

I would have hated a recasting of The Joker, was Ledger the only one that could do it, no. But it would have been disrespectful to his family if they did re-cast him, and even if his family agreed to it, nobody would want to do it. Seriously how can you even follow up that performance.

and I know, I know they were friends and everything but he said he wanted to finish the batman's story. How come you don't want to include the joker in there...
this is.. wrong.
:(
Wow, that's very inhuman of you. I didn't know a movie was more important than a friend's death.
I'm just saying my opinion, Ledger wasn't my friend was he? and sacrificing a major character over personal feelings doesn't make any sense to me... is not like a ghost is gonna haunt them if they recast.

I meant that Heath Ledger was Nolan's friend.

But yea, what Bueller said. You really don't get it.

I know right!? I mean, I Didn't personally know anyone in 9/11, so why should I give a fuck?
Or like, Why would I donate to the disaster in Haiti? i'm not Haitian!

Every single person can go fucking rot in the ground! (As long as I don't have a direct connection them)
I'm not a man of faith, but I do believe Nolan can pull something half-decent off for Batman 3, with or without Ledger

and who say I give a fuck about the people that died on 9/11 or the people that are starving to death on Africa or the middle east, bloody ignorant you can care all you want it won't make any difference, you chose what you put your faith and your mind into, bet you don't give a damn about those they don't show you on the TV do you? you guys telling me I don't get it?, or that my opinion is absurd, what a pathetic bunch of small minded people you are.
try to see things beyond that little bubble of misinformation you live in and then we'll talk.
