... You just said in your very last post 'read "Killing Joke" ..... and one can get the gist of the character.' And now you're saying you DON'T think "Killing Joke" shows the definitive version of the character. So which is it?

Um... perhaps I'm wrong... but isn't that what an actor's SUPPOSED to do? You're mocking him for being an overachiever at his job, basically.

What does the hotel room have anything to do with anything? You seem to be obsessed with Ledger's hotel room. And how do you know they weren't in a hotel room rehearsing?

Well, that's good. But you seem to think his month in a hotel-room will do harm to his Joker role instead of making it better, which you still haven't explained beyond saying it's "excessive."

The Crow?? In what way?
