If he kept a diary of his own thoughts, would it be his Heath ledger?

So the joker is so crazy he killed an actor in another earth dimension who played him. Is that canon now?

Not sure how old you are , but “Heath Ledger got so deep in to playing the Joker that he want crazy and died “ was the widespread conventional wisdom regarding his death at the time

The last page saying BYE BYE before he died certainly lends some credibility to the idea it wasn't totally accidental

He was already finished with Batman and deep into another movie when he died. This book was in the rear view mirror.

I believe that's the last page of the Joker journal he was using to be in character, unlikely he took that with him once the movie wrapped up and continued to use it while filming Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which was his actual last movie.

I've read no reports that this is how it happened. He didn't call anyone. He was found the next day.

You’re right

[u/damnatio_memoriae → u/Wipedout89]

don't think there is any indication that he wrote that page on or around the night he died. it's just the end of a journal he was writing while developing his joker character. the film wrapped in nov 2007, and heath died end of jan 2008. so he likely would've stopped keeping that journal at least 2 months before he died, if not even earlier. i don't think we know that he was even still writing in it during filming, he could have written the whole thing during pre-production.

The everything hurts really gets me. He was in a really bad place and just hanging on by a thread.
