Unfortunately he is dead
Died a few months ago actually, 28th January to be precise, it's a complete tragedy!
And that is why he wasn't at the film premier!
Drug overdose, can't believe it -
How can you have heard anything about the batman film without hearing that Heath Ledger had died? It's mentioned pretty much everytime anyone talks about the film?
-
He died 4 or 5 months before the premiere.

I do not know whether you are "trolling" or genuinely asking this question, and so since it is not proper to assume that you are trolling so I shall answer your question.
Heath Ledger did not attend the premiere because he died in New York on January 22nd 2008. He was discovered unconscious in his fourth-floor SoHo apartment by his housekeeper and masseuse. The masseuse used Ledger's speed-dial on his cell phone to call his friend and fellow actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who directed a New York police officer to the scene at 3.26pm. The masseuse then phoned 911 to say that "Mr Ledger was not breathing" and, upon the urgings of the 911 operator administered CPR, but was unsuccessful. EMT were also unsuccessful in reviving him. Ledger was pronounced dead at 3.36pm and his body was removed from the apartment.
His death was reported to have been the cause of a lethal mix of certain sleeping pills and anti-depressants prescribed to him by his doctors ("Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine."). He did not commit suicide, as the death was an accident. Having spent most of his time working for "I'm Not There", "The Dark Knight" and "The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus" over the last few months, Ledger had trouble with anxiety and insomnia. The reason he took so many of those different pills that day is said to be just a desperate attempt to catch up on sleep. Interestingly, Jack Nicholson (who played the Joker in the 1989 Batman film by Tim Burton) said he "warned" Heath Ledger on taking on the role of the Joker. In an MTV interview he expressed his anger that he was not asked to return to the Batman series, so perhaps this was sour grapes or was he genuinely warning Ledger that the role would have a heavy toll?
Tributes to Ledger have been posted all over the world, including YouTube users fan videos to flowers and cards outside the apartment in SoHo to DVD tributes (he played Robbie in the Bob Dylan-inspired film "I'm Not There" in 2007, and recently the DVD was released and included a tribute to Heath in the special features section). In "The Dark Knight" (2008), his last fully completed film, he and Conway Wickliffe (a special effects technician who died in a car accident while preparing one of the film's stunts in London) received a dedication in the credits.
The premiere was several months after his death.Source(s):
