I felt like I needed to share this though. It takes the cake..
After some random research on The Joker I have come across this:
1) Heath Ledger's first movie was titled "Clowning Around" in 1992 (I already shared this fact with AJ when I found out a couple days ago)
2) The inspiration for The Joker character as stated by Bob Kane was of German actor Conrad Veidt. One of Veidt's most famous films was titled "The Man Who Laughs" made in 1928.
2a) Conrad Veidt was born January 22nd, 1893, and died April 3rd 1943. Heath Ledger was born April 4th, 1979, and died January 22nd, 2008.
That's so fucked.

The character in "The Man Who Laughs," Gwynplane, was the inspiration for the Joker character, not Conrad Veidt himself.
And did this really need it's own thread?
