Heath Ledger = jerk?

[RegularJoe]

Speaking of Gotham-related issues, actor Heath Ledger was interviewed by Dark Horizons, and he revealed that he's not so much of a genre fan. "I actually hate comic book movies, like f**king hate them, they just bore me sh**less and they're just dumb. But I thought what Chris Nolan did with 'Batman' was actually really good, really well directed, and Christian Bale was really great in it." On his portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime, Ledger said, "He's going to be really sinister and it's going to be less about his laugh and his pranks and more about just him being a just a f**king sinister guy."

while i don't demand that actors placate their audience on a non-stop basis, i'd appreciate a higher level of professional decorum. trashing a whole genre, a genre you're now going to be a part of, just seems very low class.

The truth is...this is just a paycheck for him...he will do a great job and the fact the the script was enough for him to look past his dislike of comics might hold great things for the movie.

he should stick to getting fucked in the ass

Oh c'mon, all he said was that he's not a fan of this particular genre, but thought "Batman Begins" was a good movie, so he'll happily work on it's follow-up. It's not Halle Berry basically shitting on the entire comic book genre.

You see, goddammit?!?! Batman Begins was so fucking good that even people who hate comic book movies LOVE it!!!



VALIDATION!!!

[PoWerSurge]

It's actually kind of nice to see honesty. Dude doesn't like comic book movies. He could be one of the many who maybe had 5 comic books as a kid and say "Yeah! I've always loved the art form"

HE's just saying that cuz he's in the damn sequel. He's going to be a crappy Joker, I can feel it. The dude from Fight Club wouldve worked.

Yeah, in the same sentence that he's bad-mouthing the entire genre that both movies are apart of.



Yeah, makes sense.
