    Before anyone else comments, Heath did NOT get depressed or mentally ill from playing the Joker. He didn't lock himself in a motel and he was only in character on set. His family and friends have said that he was happiest while doing that film and he only got depressed again AFTERWARDS he was mentally ill and playing this role helped if anything. Don't spread anymore misinformation

      Finally, someone that actually has their facts right. TDK wasn’t even his last movie, he plays Tony in Dr. Parnassus. He died halfway into the shooting and was replaced by Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell. The actors actually agreed to combine the money they made from the movie to create a trust fund for Matilda Ledger, Heath’s daughter.

      Actually The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was his last film. He didn’t get to finish shooting all of the movie just most of it, and so they brought in other actors Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law to finish it off and it works surprisingly well. Anyway Dark Knight wasn’t his last film and it is kind of a shame you haven’t seen it because his performance is so ridiculously good. That said I understand wanting to remember him for his performance in the Patriot - though personally A knights tale was always one of my favs.
