Heath Ledger Dead at 28

28 year old Australian actor Heath Ledger was found dead today at his apartment in SoHo, New York City. His naked body was found by a massage therapist on the foot of his bed, surrounded by sleeping pills. There were other prescription medication in the apartment, but no illegal drugs were found. Police has discarded a suicide or any foul play involved in his death. The cause of his death is still to be determined by an autopsy.

Ledger, who received an Oscar nomination for his performance in Brokeback Mountain, had recently completed shooting The Dark Knight, where he plays The Joker opposite Christian Bale. He was in his prime, and slowly rising among Hollywood young actors. My thoughts go out to his 2 year old daughter and the rest of his family.

Batman's New Suit for The Dark Knight

It's beginning to look like Christmas, because more cool images of The Dark Knight are showing up on the Internet. Three days ago I posted some new Joker photos and now here's one of Christian Bale in his new Batman costume, and another one of The Joker just for fun. Batman's suit looks cool, but reminds me of the Batman & Robin ones and that is not a good thing. At least there are no bat nipples.

Heath Ledger as The Joker

At the end of Batman Begins, Commissioner Gordon tells Batman there’s a new madman in town who leaves Joker cards at his crime scenes. Want to guess who that madman is? If you don’t know please leave this website right now.

We’ve known for a while that actor Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain, The Patriot) was cast as the insane mass-murdering clown and Batman nemesis The Joker, but only recently have pictures of him in full costume have emerged. Is his face horribly disfigured or does he apply his own make-up to look repulsive and creepy? Whatever the case, he looks seriously fucked up. I can’t wait to see more. The Dark Knight is set to be released on July 18 2008.
