He apparently looks a lot like Joseph Godon-Levitt

I never noticed this before.

Very similar. I was keen for Levitt to pick up the Joker role in the third film, but he instead played Robin. Gary Oldman would have been a hell of a Joker, but he too had been assigned a different role in the series. Agh.

Arnold Schwarzenegger should have played the Joker.
Danny Devito should have been Batman.
Mel Gibson as Harvey Dent/Two Face.

All of it played straight, no jokes. Just imagine the police station scene where Danny Devito is punching Arnolds Hand, and Arnold just hamming it up about how the world is crazy and he is ahead of the curve.

No, they may be the same type in general, but they have very different ethnic looks. Ledger is Australian with classic Anglo good looks.

Gordon-Levitt is Ashkenazi Jewish.

I see the ethnic difference immediately.
