Heath Ledger Survives

Let's assume for a moment Heath Ledger, RIP, had lived on far after TDK.

What roles do you think you could gave gotten due to his stellar performance as The Joker? What movies do you think he could have replaced other actors in that have since been released?

I truly think the world of movies would be different had Heath not died. Also TDKR wouldn't have been what it was if he had been in it again like originally planned.

Brokeback Mountain 2 would have happened

He would've made an appearance in The Dark Knight Rises, and probably would've had a role in Inception or Interstellar.

The Dark Knight would have not made a billion dollars.

True. A very large percentage of people went to see it based upon the media coverage of Heath's death. I know quite a few people who hate comics & went to see what type of role drove Ledger to the "dark side".

He wouldn't have won an Oscar.

Won? Probably wouldn't have even been nominated.

This thread wouldn't have been made. BOOM.

Brokeback Mountain was a actual good movie, but since you're claiming they would have made a sequel, I doubt you've actually seen the film.

I think TDKR would have been totally different but OH MY GOD seeing Ledger on Inception would have been soo TRIPPY.

Maybe He wouldn't have won but he'd definitely get a nomination.

WHAT!

OR

You'd be wrong, but I was laughing at the entire movie. I saw parodies before I saw the movies so I couldnt stop thinking about them. One of the dudes gets killed.

@saint_wildcard: In that regard, I guess I can't blame ya for finding it funny. I thought they both did a convincing performance.

Mind = blown

I wonder if there's an alternate universe where someone made a "what if Heath Ledger died" thread.

"No Broke Back Mountain 2" "He could have won an Oscar, or at least been nominated." "TDK would have made more than $600 million." "This thread wouldn't have been made. BOOM."

The Dark Knight wasn't even Ledgers last movie

@reaverlation: Technically it was, it was half of another that he died during the production of.

@imthedamnbatman: He was still in it so technically it was his last movie

Always thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a better actor.

He probably would've made an appearance in The Dark Knight Rises and after his role in TDK he would've been part of great projects.

Wasn't he originally planned to be a minor villain in TDKR? Along the lines of Scarecrow in Begins?

He would've played Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare remake.

@saint_wildcard: Well the dark knight rises made even more than the dark Knight and the dark knight rises didn't have ledger in it...

No one can really know how much it would've made if he didn't die

Maybe a what if Heath Ledger died thread would have been made

Probably not

Batman Begins made less than 400 ,million. When artists die their work sky rockets in value (Leonardo DeVinci). And Sequels tend to make more money, The Dark Knight had the hook of Ledger's death but the viewers stayed for how awesome the movie was.

Good.

Your blown mind just blew my mind.

His daughter would be a lot happier and sleep better at night.

I wouldn't be crying.

Ha... Good one

Firstly, I'm pretty sure Nolan said he would have heard him in DKR if he hadn't passed away, but I might have made that up.

I doubt he would have won the academy award but would have gotten jobs that lead to him eventually getting one.

In terms of movies he would have done, no clue
