Studio execs confirm in the WSJ that Heath Ledger's death won't stop a clever Web marketing campaign built around the Joker, Ledger's character in an upcoming Batman movie. The campaign, built around sites such as TheGothamTimes.com and the corresponding TheHaHaHaTimes.com, heavily features the Joker's antics. So does the movie. Don't let that stop you from enjoying either. In interviews before his death, Ledger said the role was challenging, but the most fun he's ever had.
