Ledger: The Joker Has Zero Empathy Author: Jett Monday, November 12, 2007 9:58 AM TEXAS TIME: Heath Ledger visited with MTV and talked again about his turn as The Joker in next year's THE DARK KNIGHT. Here's some highlights: * "“It’s the most fun I’ve had with a character and probably will ever have." * "It was an exhausting process. At the end of the day I couldn’t move. I couldn’t talk. I was absolutely wrecked." * "He [The Joker] has zero empathy." * Influences? "A Clockwork Orange was a very early starting point for Christian [Bale] and I. But we kind of flew far away from that pretty quickly and into another world altogether. * Sid Vicious? "Yeah, I guess so. There’s a bit of everything in him. There’s nothing that consistent...There are a few more surprises to him!" The report also states that one of his goals is to scare the crap out of audiences next summer! SOURCE: MTV MOVIE BLOG.
