The buzz is that HEATH LEDGER is a shoo-in to be nominated for a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in THE DARK KNIGHT. Full of anarchic menace, LEDGER’S Joker is a villain to end all villains and the actor’s fearless performance is one of this year’s cinematic highpoints. HEATH explains why he decided to join the BATMAN franchise and take on a role that, years ago, JACK NICHOLSON hit out of the park.
