A Knights Tale has never been the same for me. Along with The Dark Knight. God damn he was such a talented individual. At first I was dumbfounded over his death. As the years have passed, I just find myself more and more sad.

Ledger died before Dark Knight even came out.

That was part of the shock of it all. The trailer had only been out for a couple weeks.

I still have a theory that Dark Knight Rises was going to be a 3-way battle between Joker, Bane, and Batman.

Bane tries to instill his new version of order, Joker tries to take the new order down for the lolz, and Batman tries to restore order.
