I think these movies are great, but it's very hard for me to see them as comic book movies. They really dont have the visual creativity there for me to compare them to comics. I see Tim Burtons 2 batman movies as comic book movies, but I just see these new ones as well written, well put together regular movies, that happen to have Batman in them.
Ledger did a fine job with the role. I guess as good as he could trying to follow Jack's, which I view as iconic. Ledger's was less of a clown, more of just a crazy guy with some makeup on. It fit the realistic style of the movie. A goofy clown wouldnt have worked quite as well.
I do think it's a little overrated due to him dying right after it, so that just elevated it in the public eye somehow, but he still did a good job. Go try and deliver some of those lines without it sounding forced, or that laugh. It's actually really hard to do.
