Heath Ledger Fans Call for Joker's Retirement From Film

Heath Ledger's flawless acting, and tragic passing, immortalized his portrayal of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight. But should Ledger's killer clown be the last Joker to grace the big screen?That's what the fanboys over at a new site called The Ultimate Joker are arguing. They've launched a petition calling for studios to withdraw the character for good from any future Batman movies, a somewhat strange request given all the actors who have stepped into the Joker's murderous shoes on screens large and small. (Thill , 2009)

All the other Jokers seemed clownish compared to Heath Ledger's spot on Joker that was so convincing that I doubt anyone would be able to do justice in protraying the dastardly villian.
My vote is to move on and find another arch villian for the Cape Crusader to trounce.
But knowing the idiots in Hollywood, they'll try and fail.
