I'd disagree with this one. Provided everything was the same. Summer blockbusters and super hero films are seen as walls, but their more mountains. Its really easy to **** up a role in those films, but to play them correctly is to give them just as much credit as a serious dramatic film.

The helping hand here was writing and direction. They opted to make these characters, their motives and origins real and logical. Because of this Ledger was able to convey the correct role on screen and that is in large part why I believe he'd take it either way.

The only thing I can't account for is what would have followed the film if he were alive. The overblown hype, the long fanboi interviews. With all of that gone and the role to speak for itself I think there stands a better chance of him winning.


@ adidasss: avoid Button like the plague.
