No Laughing Matter

Last week Cinema Blend reported that the upcoming comic book flick Dark Knight has a scene in which The Joker (the late Heath Ledger) hides inside and then rises from a body bag.

At a recent test screening of the film--The test audience seemed upset by the scene--given the tragic death of Ledger in January... Thus, leading to speculation over whether or not the scene would appear in the final film.

The film site Moviehole says however that "that scene is in the film. I also know that WB has made no such mandate. Christopher Nolan is honest when saying that he will not change what was intended with The Joker".

A tough call to make that's for sure...But think Nolan's a smart guy and will do the right thing for the sake of the story. Some will be bothered by the scene but as long as Ledger's family is kept in the loop-no one else's opinion should be given any more or less weight in this circumstance
