I was just admiring and in awe of his incredible acting and talent!! i'm glad they kept it in.. it was a good scene. he was amazing. i actually was so into the movie and the Joker character, I forgot it was Heath Ledger most of the time, and totally did not connect the body bag scene with his death.

Heath worked his ass off to get that movie right. He said himself that the movie caused him to get worked up so much that he was on sleeping medication just to get him to pass out at night. Do you honestly think the man would be thrilled about having that scene taken out if he were alive? I think not. Do you think he would be thrilled about having the scene taken how because he died? I think not. Actors die. Plain and simple. Tragedy in this case but it doesn't mean we should do away with part of his work "because it makes us feel uncomfortable". People should really learn to deal with death better. It's acting. Period. Leave the movie alone and enjoy his great work. Ugh. Leave it! Heath worked his ass off to get that movie right.

I'm getting totally sick and tired of this whole PC thing with movies. Next thing we know batman hitting someone must be cut out, due to the voilent nature. Oh and he jumps down a building, we should cut that out too, that's dangerous. His motorcycle's got guns, cut it! And then we end up with Happy Days, only there is a Batman in it.... Yes a gifted actor died and some people (the oversensitive sort) might be "shocked" by the scene, but remember he is the one who played this scene! It's an educated guess taht he wasn't forced to do this and played the scene as a good actor: in his role! Leave it in, it’s part of the movie and in there for a reason.

Then I will say it again, Heath Ledger is playing THE JOKER, a cackling, murderous lunatic with a face scarred corpse-white by acid. If you're worried about Heath Ledger's performance being "difficult to watch", then you're going to have delete the entire movie, or make it ten minutes of Batman hanging out and doing nothing, because the Joker, by definition, is a very morbid character. Perhaps this was simply the worst sort of role for anyone to play immediately prior to dying, but barring the decision to toss the whole film away, I can't see how Heath Ledger being in a body bag is going to be far and away worse than Heath Ledger holding a woman at knife point like he does in the cover photo on this page, or Heath Ledger doing any of the things the Joker does as a matter of course. This was his last performance and, by bad luck, it happens to be a dark and unsettling performance, which is a testament to his talent as an actor. Nitpicking exactly which image is the most unsettling with a role like this is ridiculous: the only way for anyone who can't separate the actor from the role, the entire movie is going to inevitably be a punch in the gut, body bag or no body bag. “i haven’t heard the argument, that this scene might be difficult for HEATH’S FAMILY to watch. i didn’t know him, nobody here knew him, but we all got big opinions on why this scene should stay in. i’m curious if anybody gave a thought to the fact that seeing him in a body bag could be pretty rough for them. i wonder how many people thought about that before they made their posts.”
