The joker is batman's arch enemy, you can't just write him off because the last guy who tried to play him overdosed.
He wasn't very good anyway... Let the flaming begin, but I hated that joker. Although most of it was probably due mmore to what the actor was being told to do then the way he played the character but either way he was poorly represented. It may not have ruined the movie for me but it certainly detracted from it.
The joker was always clean cut, he didn't look like a beat up hooker and he wasn't wearing makeup. That was what he looked like, if he wanted to blend in then his disguise was flesh tone makeup. Not the other way around.
There was a few times when I thought he played the part perfectly, where you could see the crazy come out, but the rest of the time he sucked. Jack Nicholson was much better overall, in appearance and performance, but did peg the crazy part of the joker as well as ledger did sometimes.
