Heath ledger fakes death in order to reprise joker role 10 years after the dark knight
So as most of you have seen in the new Joker film, Arthur Fleck is quite a bit different from other jokers we have seen in the comic books and the films. I believe that Joker is an origin story not for Arthur Fleck but rather Heath Ledger’s joker. For those of you who do not know, the Joker’s real name in the comics was Jack Napier not Arthur Fleck. Based off of what we saw in the new movie, Arthur Fleck does not seem to have the mental capacity to be able to rival Batman. I believe in the next film Arthur Fleck will die, and an inspired Jack Napier will be there to take up the mantle of the Joker. I think Warner Bros convinced Heath Ledger to fake his death in order to have one of the greatest cinematic reveals in the history of film when he hits the big screen to reprise his role as the true Joker, Jack Napier.

Heath Ledger portraying the Joker had nothing to do with his death.
I've heard people talk about how it was the role that killed him and that the darkness of the Joker drove him to suicide. I've seen it in comments, blog posts, talking with friends, and even during a church sermon discussing how the power of darkness consumes all. I know it’s a dramatic narrative to depict a man overcome with evil but it bothers me to no end when I hear people talk about it and I wanted to clear it up. Here is some information on the matter: He died from an accidental prescription drug overdose. He was taking medication because he had a cold and had been battling insomnia for years. Autopsy reports the medications found in his system were meant to treat insomnia, anxiety, pain, and common cold. He might have been addicted to some of the medications or had drug addictions. His death occurred more than two months after they stopped filming The Dark Knight. He was working on the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus as the character Tony when he died. He was reported as being "in very high spirits" and "enjoying himself tremendously" during filming of Parnasus. There are zero reports/comments/dialogues from his family, friends, or coworkers about Heath becoming mentally unstable because of his depiction of the Joker. I understand it's not definitive proof but it definitely points in other directions then Heath killing himself because he couldn’t escape the Joker. (source on health issues) (information from Parnasus costar right around Heath's death) (quote from Christian Bale) (quote from Morgan Freeman)
5 years after his death, why hasn't (AFAIK) there been any behind the scenes released relating to heath ledgers Joker?
I have read from multiple sources including a previous Post that Heath's death had nothing to do with portraying the Joker role and died 2 months after filming ended. The role was so magnificent i have been really wanting to see some detailed behind the scenes interviews, makeup application, or something along those lines where the creation of Nolan's joker is discussed and shown properly, yet with all DVD/Blu-ray releases of the Dark Knight all that is shown are the stunt preparations and some short interviews with the cast. I understand his family may not have wanted footage released near to the time of his death but it was arguably his absolute best performance and one of the best performances in film, it would be a shame not to see any extra behind the scenes content.
Could Heath Ledger's commitment to capturing the insanity of the Joker be part of what contributed to his premature death?
Apparently he'd locked himself in a hotel room for weeks perfecting the Joker's look, personality, voice, laugh, and everything else that made the Joker one of the most iconic villains in film history.
Could his incredible commitment to this role actually impair his mind and cause him to really go sort of crazy? EDIT: My point is, could Ledger's self-inflicted insanity have caused him to spiral out of control and eventually overdose?
