I think a quick dedication at the end of the credits would be appropriate. It will already be slightly emotional going into the movie, so the end is probably more appropriate than the beginning.

When the screen goes black at the end of the movie, but before the credits start to role, text should appear saying "this film is dedicated to Heath Ledger". That's the most tasteful way to do it I can think of.

This is terrible. He was only 28, worked his butt off, and was highly respected by his peers. Plus, he had a 2 year old girl, and a great wife. RIP. And since I'm sure that WB will be showing The Dark Knight, the film should be dedicated to him in the opening or end credits (at least) Ever seen STAR TREK IV? That came out the same year as the Challenger tragedy, and that picture had a quick but tasteful dedication to them. Which I think is the appropriate thing to do for THE DARK KNIGHT. Get that monkey off the back immediately. Yes, I remember that quite fondly. As did Star Trek VI, with a dedication for Gene Roddenberry.

My jaw just hit the floor when I heard, late last night. I'd only just seen the latest (and Joker-heavy) Dark Knight trailer on Monday - and I remember thinking how awesome he looked and sounded. Rest in peace Heath.

Guys, let's please leave the discussion about a certain Kansas-based cult out of the thread. They don't deserve our attention.

I still can't believe this has happened. Absolutely shocking.
My thoughts are with his young daughter.

I just have to announce my hatred of the media. How they scream drug overdose and suicide remind me so much of another death were the media cried steriods.
He did an interview some or most of you have seen by now, where he talks about having such a tough time getting to sleep. How the joker character was really getting to him. He then said he took to Ambien and only slept an hour.
Many people have trouble with sleep, my wife has taken sleeping meds for years.
He passed away from an accidental overdose from sleeping medicine.
No matter how the media tells it. He has appoitments the next day, that means he had things to do.
The massuse was going to get him to relax, he had allot of pressure.
R.I.P.

Heath Ledger joins Owen Hart and Curt Hennig in the overly-talented-blondes-that-went-too-soon category, for me

Yeah I liked him a lot in pretty much everything I've seen of him. Great actor, but I think below is my favorite thing I've seen him do. I always am all smiles during this dance number. youtube.com/watch?v=xyrJANFJKec

RIP Heath.
I just watched Eric Roberts (who is in Dark Knight) getting interviewed about this and he seems shattered. He gave stories about meeting Heath and talking to Health and working with him. Touching stuff.
Then the stupid interviewer asked him if Heath looked hooked or addicted on anything. Just disrespectful.

I think the Dark Knight's box office gross is going to go up 500% because of this.
I can see Heath being nominated for best supporting actor for his role if its as good as most people think it will be.

I would like to see, I'm also sickened by the number of people who are saying, "Heath died, but ___ is still alive?!". You'd really wish for Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan or others to die? That's quite sad if you do indeed wish that. You do not know these people, you only know what you read in the media, and if you trust what tabloids are saying, then...you're quite dumb frankly.
Britney is clearly a troubled person, not just, "lol britney does drugs and punches her kids", wishing death on someone or hoping for someone to die is really an awful thing to do.
As for the Westborough Baptist Church....well, I don't need to say anything about that.

TMZ has confirmed with NYPD sources in the Heath Ledger investigation that cops found a $20 bill rolled up "in a certain way" with a powdered substance on it. Our sources say they don't know what the nature of the powder is, but it's being tested at the police lab.
CBS 2 in NYC is reporting cops found drug packets along with the $20 bill in Ledger's apartment.
Our sources say the manner in which the bill was rolled made them "suspicious."

Wouldn't shock me if there was a cocktail of all kinds of stuff that killed him.

Did I really just read that bible groups are going to protest at his funeral for "promoting homosexuality"? Jesus H, some people are so backwards... they are going to protest homosexuality at a heterosexual man's funeral? Gosh I don't believe in Heaven or hell, but those people can rot in hell Dark Night will be a box office smash, but it also looks like a critical hit, and also plays to heart of fans of Batman/Joker. his last movie that people will remember will be him as joker. whomever plays him after that will always be compared to him... Ohwell Really enjoyed his work..it's a SHAME WHEN ANYBODY DIES...
