the dark knight

He's still a hero to me.

When Heath Ledger died tragically at the age of 28 before the release of The Dark Knight, many speculated that his descent into the role of The Joker jumpstarted a slow spiral of depression and drug use. Now, a clip from a German documentary about the life and death of Ledger, Heath Ledger: Too Young to Die, has appeared online. In it, Ledger's father, Kim Ledger leafs through the journal his son kept to chronicle his journey into The Joker's psyche.

A Clockwork Orange, chaos and clowns clutter the pages of the late actor's scrapbook.

The audio to Christian Bale's new art flickKnight of Cups fits perfectly to clips from The Dark Knight trilogy.

This rather shocking revelation follows Justice League #42 when Batman who has gained possession of the Mobius Chair (basically a badass time-traveling chair that can answer all one might ever have to ask) tests the chair's ability to actually answer any question by asking who killed his parents, and then after hearing the correct answer, asking what the Joker's name is.



Not until this week's Justice League #50 did we finally figure out what Batman heard back from the Mobius Chair. After the events of the Darkseid War, Hal Jordan goes on to ask Batman what exactly the Mobius Chair said in reply to his question. 



And this is where it gets real weird, real quick: the chair didn't provide Batman one name, it tricky skullduggerous know 'n see all piece of high-tech furniture provided Batman three. THREE. Like wait what? A bold move by Geoff Johns, for sure.

We'll be curious to see how this pans out, as Joker's notorious for his inability to 'play well with others', but were the three Jokers ever to manage a coordinated attack against the dark night, it's probably fair to say that sh*t would hit the fan in one way or another...
