just copy and paste or google it for anybody who has trouble believing this

A long bow to Heath's performance I'm glad it wasn't cut either, as the DVD was just released, I got yesterday and although had watched a pirate copy over a dozen times I still enjoyed the movie all over again, even better in blue ray. He deserves that golden globe award, and he'll definately get it.

Oh and I'm sure most of you know by now that this isn't the last we have seen of Heath. For those who don't know Imaginarium a movie he was also working on during the Dark Knight but died before the completion of the movie WILL be completed, his role will be finished by Jude Law, Collin Ferrel and even Johnny Depp as incarnations of his character as he travels through different realms, and in no way will Heaths work be altered or changed with digital technology or CGI.

this is one of many links confirming this

OMG LEAVE THE SCENE IN.

It is tragic that heath ledger died but his role as the joker was a true legend. he out his heart adn soul into that film, why scrap HIS work. If anyting thats wrong. IGNORE THOSE SOFTIES they probaly dont even care theyre just starting a comotion over nothing, so it looks like they care about heath ledger. if they cant hack it then DONT WATCH IT.

So...definately keep the seen in.

I love heath ledger always and forever (RIP)

WOW! down in arkansas we saw the whole movie. no cuts the body bag scene made me jump 12 feet outta my chair. come down here for the whole movie. amazing

first of all well you are 50% write but 50% wrong beacuse i know it is the last movie but still don't you think he wants it to be finished i mean it was number movie of the year don't you think he wants that huh think about it kkk bye yah and if they stopped makin the movie that would be stuipid beacause they got like Alllllllllllllllllllllllllllottttt!!!!!!!!!!! of money

I saw this movie yesterday, then again today. It was absolutely brilliant-- I'm so glad that they didn't butcher the movie by erasing that scene. I find it hard to believe so many people were upset by him being shown as "dead" for a few seconds, it was so quick! And beyond that, not once during the movie, when I saw the Joker (whose role in the movie I loved the most, by the way) did I think, "Oh, that's Heath." Of course I *knew* it was him, but in the Joker character as he portrayed it, there was absolutely no trace of Heath Ledger. The fake death scene didn't even calculate in my head until I saw this article. Heck, it's a movie, people: it's not Heath, it's the Joker. As sad and unfortunate as his death was, people should see that. And even if they hadn't, I would have protested that we should have been permitted to see every single one of Heath's scenes; they were masterpieces, and I cherished them, seeing as The Dark Knight was his final complete role.
I'm very thankful that this scene stayed, it was one of my favourites.

I saw the movie last night. The scene was in the movie. Didn't even think about Heath, because the Joker character was incredible.

As I'm sure you all know by now, the scene in question was NOT cut from the final production and is in fact one of the more memorable scenes in the movie because of the Joker's ever present dark sarcasm. I hope you all have and will enjoy this movie. =D

I completely agree with the article.. except for that last line.
Wtfreak! Just beacause some people get emotional at seeing this, does NOT mean that they don't deserve to see his work.
What? - If I all of a sudden break down at seeing my favorite actor put in a bag, ironically mirroring real life events, all of a sudden that means I dont deserve to see it?
Thats the only thing I have a problme with. The rest of it I agree with.
Simply because, even though I will be one of those "overly sensitive" people, I strongly believe that the movie should be left untouched and honored, instead.
it's be a big and sad mistake if it happens otherwise.

I believe that they should leave the scene in. If people cannot distinguish the difference between fiction and reality, than they are f'ing morons and should not be watching the movie in the first place. Second of all, if anyone has seen the first movie, they would clearly understand that it is not really a family flick, therefore, you should not be taking your kids to see this movie in the first place. If you are afraid that your kids will be scarred for life, then maybe you should reevaluate your parenting skills and hire a babysitter instead.

If they cut it then they have made a truly awful decision. In my view actor's are artists and chopping scenes from Dark Knight would be like cutting out the Mona Lisa's eyes. I'm sure even Heath himself would rather that his final work was left intact so that us fans can truly remember how talented he infact was.

I agree wholeheartedly, this should be nipped in the bud. The man is dead he should be remembered for playing this role which (if we can believe what we read) is his outbreak role, not as some ass munching batty boy as he was made out to be in Brokeback Mountain, fucking puffters ruining the film industry.

People need to spread this.... everywhere.

ART VS. $$$
I wonder who will win.

The scene should be left in! Ledger would not want his finest roll butchered for the feelings of a few saps who can't handle a truly good movie. He's dead for christ sake! Its best not to think that the actor is actually dead. I would want him remembered!

They need to leave the scene in the movie! A true Ledger fan would want to see every bit of his performance in this movie. I'm sure it's how he would have wanted it.

Its a movie dont be so friggen lame

I am still in denial that this wonderous Human being with alot of talent is gone forever. I was shocked when I heard of his passing. He was just getting started to what could have been a legendary life , what he left was already legendary and unforgettable. To cut anthing out of this movie would not do him any kind of justice, If you listened to him he gave every ounce of himself in this role and should be able to display that to the world he unfortunatley left behind. Batman is going to be dark at times, these people need to get over it and let people decide for themselves whether they like a scene or not. Its the same with books why the hell would you ban a book? People should be free to make up there own minds about things not have people do it for us like " Big Brother " from 1984.

Please regard my earlier entry as a satire. For the life of me, I couldn't think of what kind of spineless twit would want them to cut the scene (besides a movie executive). Lest one of them read it and point to my entry as dissent, let's make it unanimous-- leave it alone.

i say. Put the scenes with heath LEDGER in the bloody movie!
he did this role, wanting it to go on film. he didnt want it to be deleted, chuked in the trash, stashed away in some stupid cabnet.
It should to shown to the world, its his final film, this film is apart of heath. Let the world see it, dont keep it to yourselves. So what if you get a couple of angry viewers because you left him in the film, what about the rest of the world who will be upset with yourselves because you took him out of the film. So what side are you going to take.?
If u take him out of the movie, i seriously think you will get more bad reviews, more ANGRY people, People who are upset with the fact that you took him out of the movie.

LEAVE the movie the way it is, DONE WITH HEATH!. finish the movie. USEING HEATHS FINAL ROLES!......

heath ledger is a BLOODY LEGEND!!

I agree with everyone! AS a huge fan, I've been looking forward to this movie since the first one came out. Over sensitive people should be warned, and exercise their right to not see the movie. I hope they are the minority.

But...(playing devil's advocate here)....

Is there anyone that thinks the roles should be CUT from the movie?

I agree that tampering with Heath's final and greatest role is bs just because there are a few morons who are, and the phrase is SO appropriate, OVERLY SENSITIVE!!. Go BACK to your little holes in the ground where you'll be safe from the big bad world!!

It really shouldn't be cut, but if it is, you can bank on it being on some "special edition" DVD.

Leave it be. Ledger's death was unfortunate but the movie shouldn't suffer because of that. LET IT BE WARNERS!

Leave it in!
