Ledger explained that he was not interested in working on superhero films; "I would just feel stupid and silly.

During a span of six weeks, Heath Ledger secluded himself in a hotel room, compiling a character diary and experimenting with voices.

The diary contains photos, news clippings, various handwritten thoughts and words, and portions of dialogue from the film. Christopher Hooton, writing for The Independent, said that the 'Joke...

Announcement and early response
The casting decision surprised some and was seen as a controversial move at the time, receiving notable negative reactions on the Internet.

Influence on other villains
Bérénice Marlohe cited Ledger's performance as the Joker as an inspiration for her portrayal of Sévérine in the James Bond film Skyfall, specifically in regards to Sévérine's psychological instability, which Marlohe added to her performance in a subtle way, as the script didn't make the Bond girl's "craziness" obvious. Iwan Rheon admitted to have used Ledger's Joker as a reference for his performance as Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones. In regards to Jesse Eisenberg's performance as Lex Lutho...
