Seriously, it has to be Ledger on this one. Went and saw the movie yesterday and was blown away by his performance and portrayal of The Joker. It definitely fit in with the darkness of the movie, and he would thoroughly deserve an Oscar nom for the role.

What makes his performance so amazing is that you know he didn't speak that way in real life. And he wasn't just bringing another of his past performances into the movie like Jack did.
I wonder if today's youth will make Heath a cult figure the way the 1950's youth did with James Dean.
Anybody buying themselves a Heath Joker t-shirts?
I may.

Unlike Ledger, Dean was actually cool. The events of Dean's life, the fact he was a rebel, and even his death (although somewhat mythologized) have become legend. Ledger was just another drug OD in a spoiled Hollywood.

Dean's life is lost on todays youth and I doubt Ledger will be the same icon, but "just another drug OD" is pretty shitty when the circumstances were a tad more understandable than some jackass ODing on coke.
