I have to admit, if it weren't for Heath, I would be waiting for DVD or TV broadcast of the movie as I did with the other Batman films. As it is, I am worried about my reaction in the theater, but think I will feel compelled to go.

No, I don't think Heath's performance will be panned, for two reasons.
One, I think he'll be really good. Everything we've heard from everyone who had any glimpse of Heath in the role says he is amazing. They were saying that even before he died. And you don't usually hear that if it isn't true.
Second, movie critics are usually a fairly intelligent and sensitive lot, and they all loved Heath in BBM, etc. So even if this performance falls below expectations, they would be tactful about it. They might say something like, "Heath's performance isn't as good as some of his previous roles." They wouldn't say, "He sucks." But it's a moot point, because I'm sure he'll be good.
As for the movie itself, it's harder to say. If it isn't as good as everyone is hoping, the critics will say so. But they won't be mean about it, I don't think. All of the people involved in it are well respected; the critics will just say this isn't their best effort, or something of that nature.
On the other hand, I'd be pretty surprised if Heath were to win a posthumous Oscar, or even be nominated.

No I don't normally buy such trash, but I can't help myself if Heath is mentioned on the cover.One second it's on the shelf, the next it somehow gets into the cart, very strange !!!!
So I wonder if Jake my get a delayed reaction.I know sometimes when I go through traumatic events, if I keep myself busy then It may not hit me until months after the event,then I just crumble.

I don't want to sound nasty, but i really couldn't care less about this little Olsen creep.
As for Jake, at the beginning i was baffled because of the lack of reaction, but i guess i'm over it now. It never stopped me from being a fan though and i'm glad he's doing fine professionally and personally.
On the other hand, i feel terribly sorry for Heath's family, Michelle and little Matilda. :(

Mary-Kate Olsen 'Won't Give a Word' About Heath
By Janet Murphy

After nearly five months, Mary-Kate Olsen still refuses to speak about the fact that she was the first person called after Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment.
"I'm not going to comment on that," Olsen, who turns 22 on June 13, tells Elle in its July issue. "I won't give you a word about that in the nicest way possible. Let's move on."
The actress, who said in a statement last January that "Heath was a "friend" and "his death is a tragic loss," also keeps mum about being a celebrity.
"It's not a part of my life. It's a media perception of who I am," she tells the magazine. "It's very weird. I mean, if I see a paparazzi shot of me walking that's in a magazine or something at some event, it's as if I see it from an outsider's point of view. There's like a character, almost, and then there's me."

I don't care 2 figs about ms Olsen, I just wondered if perhaps other people may suffer from delayed shock.It isnot uncommon.It was a little shred of hope to explain someones lack of statement. I am one of these types who like to on the whole think the best of people and it is hardwith one certain person. I was always a bigger fan of Heath any way.
