Sumario:To prepare for the role of the Joker, Heath Ledger locked himself in a London hotel room, trying to understand and become a character he saw as "an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown" who was not intimidated by anything and found all of life "a big joke." In the end, Ledger's obsession with his role contributed to his own death from drugs before The Dark Knight was released. The connections and irony are too close to ignore. The movie gives the world a curious twist on the roles of Batman and the Joker. It's politically incorrect, and yet emotionally the Joker's insanity.
