How's the response to Mr. Ledger's performance? They're talking Oscar here already, which is surprising because of the film's genre, but I completely think he deserves it (and think he'll win).
Yeah, there's a very strong buzz down here. I don't think I've heard or read anything that doesn't dispute that he delivered on the hype. Such a shame that he's no longer around to enjoy the plaudits and reprise the role (although he's the type of actor that would have probably refused a reprisal). Such a great film series, easily surpassing the original ie Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher movies.
