When it comes to the many Joker portrayals over the years, it’s pretty much universally accepted that Heath Ledger blew us away more than any other actor with 2008’s The Dark Knight. Sure, we’re very much hyped for Joaquin Phoenix’s second Joker movie, but a new collectible for Ledger’s version of the villain has me thinking about how legendary and how incredible the actor was in the role all over again.
The actor died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 28, six months before the release of The Dark Knight.
Collectibles like this show how important to DC and comic book pop culture Heath Ledger’s Joker remains to fans.
It’s called ‘The Joker (Batman Imposter Version) (Artisan Edition) Sixth Scale Figure,’ and it features a super realistic version of Joker with a Batsuit that looks spray painted with green, purple and red paint.
