text: do u think heath ledger will make a good joker? i'm all about remakes but when i heard he was playing the joker, i got kind of worried because jack did that part so good.  what do you think? heath ledger is another one of those wonderfully talented blokes that make me sick (j/k).  any role he takes he makes his own.  while i'm skeptical about the whole joker thing, i think he'll do an excellent job with the role.  of course, it's hard to put a new face to a character that jack nicholson did so well.  heath's got some pretty big clown shoes to fill!
