really interested in seeing your Heath Ledger autographed Joker picture because Heath Ledger died before any photographs of the film had been released. At the time of Heath's death, Heath Ledger fans had been warned against buying signed movie merchandise from the new Batman film The Dark Knight, because no official memorabilia had been released at the time of Ledger's passing. At the time Ledger died, a representative for Warner Bros. Pictures, the film studio behind the project, insisted: "There are no Dark Knight posters, photographs, or memorabilia connected to the movie on sale yet. We are investigating how they have been pirated." There was one and only one photograph released as a teaser at the time of Ledger's death. So one way to know if you have a fake Heath Ledger autograph- if it's signed on any Batman related item except for the one released Joker photo. Sorry to say, but your Heath Ledger signature is probably not authentic. UACC or not.

Valid points. However, there was one official autograph signing in late 2007 that not many people know about where the cast of the Dark Knight was signing officially licensed photos from Warner Bros (that were only obtainable at the signing)...It was in Chicago, at the old Chicago Post Office after shooting. A signing meant for cast/crew/families and the surrounding neighborhood.
Signed Ledger/Joker shots are out there. Finding someone who is willing to let one go is anther story.
EDIT: I have discovered that this signing occurred at the end of April 2007. After the April 18-24th shoot was over but before the shoots in September. They were using the old Post Office as the "Gotham National Bank" and the "Gotham Police Department".
