Dark Knight's Christian Bale Opens Up About Heath Ledger
As the new Batman flick, The Dark Knight, is getting ready to be released, a lot of the excitement for the film is overshadowed by the sadness of Heath Ledger's death. Heath, who reportedly gives a stunning performance as the Caped Crusader's nemesis, The Joker, left quite an impact on the movie's other star, Christian Bale.
"I want to talk about Heath," Christian told the new issue of Parade. "When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him."
"He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months. It takes a long time to accept that someone’s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself."
The actor says that he feels the need to express his admiration for his late co-star, particularly for those that Heath has left behind.
"Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of incredible importance."
I'm still so sad about this, and I want to see the movie, but I feel like it might be hard to concentrate on the film and not on Heath. I might have to wait for the DVD. Are you going?

well i think thats so sad about Heath's death. i wish the people close to him could see him once more. :(
I have mixed emotions; I want to see the movie, because I know it'll be good. But I was deeply affected by Heath's death, so I don't know if I could watch it without focusing on the fact that he's gone. Sigh.
I'm definitely going. The movie looks amazing, and it's his final performance-- I want to see it.
Heath's death hit me like an anvil-- I've really never been affected this way by someone's passing. The part that will be hard is I'm sure we'll have to watch him die in the movie, and there's also a part in the movie where he pretends to be dead and hides in a body bag.
I hope his family (I include Michelle in this) are all able to keep it together at the premiere and provide the network of support that they need.
It'll be weird seeing Heath on the big screen when you know he's no longer with us. I want to see it. But it'll be sad.
BTW, what's up with the picture of Christian Bale? Did they just cut and paste his head onto a body?
I think Bruce Wayne supposed to have black hair and blue eyes right?

I will defintaly go and see this movie, I love Christian Bale as well and he plays Batman very good, I will also see it in support for my love of Heath Ledger, I was so devisated when he died, I just couldn't believe it when my mom told me he passed, and still find my self today thinking about him and then realizing he's gone, I've had a few celebrity deaths I was shocked about but this one really hit hard when we lost the lovely Heath, I know his perfomance will be amazing as always, May he forver rest in peace and forever in our hearts. Oh and to the comment about black hair and blue eyes for batman, No, I don't ever remember a batman with blue eyes, maybe a few had black hair but not blue eyes.
