The folks over at Total Film give us this: The Dark Knight producer Chuck Roven has claimed that people need to “separate the actors from the role,” in response to a question regarding The Joker and Heath Ledger. When asked by MTV whether the filmmakers would have done anything different had they known Ledger wouldn’t be reprising the role, Roven claimed that the character wasn’t tied to the actor.
“On a personal level, Heath was a friend of mine,” he said at the People’s Choice Awards. “We had worked together before The Dark Knight, but I still think that The Dark Knight is its own thing, and we have to separate them.”
I celebrate this news IF it indeed turns out to be true.
My vote is to make Steve Buscemi the next Batman villain. I think that he'd make a great Joker. I've created a Facebook group called "Let's Make Steve Buscemi the next Batman Villain." Please search for it and be the first to join it.
