Interesting article. I think that Heath Ledger's death bumped this movie's ticket sales from huge to ridiculous. If Heath had not died before the release I bet this movie would have made between $350 and $400M. It is a popular franchise, it had a successful predecessor in Batman Begins, it was a summer event movie and ... it was a really good movie. I don't think you have to be caught up in the oscar hype to appreciate Heath's performance in this movie. The Joker could not have been pulled off any better. And the rest of the actors were at least decent. Another factor that helped was relatively weak competition for the summer. thanks.— September 4, 2008 1:53 a.m.
