Fat Thor or for plot convinience, Batman cant take him in without killing him? He learned more than 50 different fighting styles, he can engage around 600 enemies, im sure he can like break his legs without killing him
That would prove his point. That's what he wanted from the beggining. He wanted to show how people can be broken with a little push. Which is what happened to Harvey Dent. He succeded there. But Batman never killed him and so he failed. Although the Joker doesn't really give a shit. As neaar end of the movie he says they're destineded to play this game forever. It pains me to see how many people don't realize this. They really think the Joker wanted to kill him, even with him blatantly saying he didn't want that ever. And to prove my first point, just right after he says Batman completes him. He completes him because Batman is the one that he needs to corrupt. And he's ready to play this game forever to do it.
@@musen296 am what? no matter what way you look at it, the Joker won. Batman had to abandon his moral code and kill Dent (who was two face at that point).
@@JW-jd6sn Not necessarily. Remember this Batman doesn't have the same moral code as in the comics. He tries his best not to kill but he had no choice this time. He wouldn't let a child die because of some stupid code. This Batman is realistic. And besides. Joker wanted Batman corrupted, do you you really think he got corrupted because of that? Hardly. Thus Joker failed. You could say he achieved some sort of victory but be real.. Joker made Harvey the goddamn 2-face. What had he imagined for Batman?
@@musen296 OK I understand your view but I really disagree. This isn't the comics and it isn't trying to be, this is nolans and bale version of batman and this batman moral code is to not kill. Joker didn't want batman corrupted? I don't know we're you are getting that from, the joker wanted to prove to batman that anyone can abandon or be forced to betray there principles, their moral code. The joker was about anarchy not control. The joker cleaned up th e streets not batman. The joker won, he turned Gotham true hero, dent, into a cold blooded murder and forced batman to kill him
The Joker doesn’t care who Batman’s alter ego is. The Joker wants to break what Batman stands for to show it’s just a house of cards. He knows if he can corrupt Batman the city falls.
PacMonster0 we don’t know whether he knows or not. The prison interrogation scene is right after the chase scene where the Joker knows Dent is in the swat vehicle and is trying to kill him and then Batman shows up to save Dent. He picked Racheal to flip Dent evil because he knows he cares for her. He knows Batman has some relationship with Racheal but he doesn’t know what.
I know this isn't the place to say what I'm about to say, but I need help. Currently, I'm in an institute to learn English, and to be honest, I'm not very talented, but I'm making an effort to learn. It's been almost two months since I entered the institute, but just going once a week isn't enough to improve my language skills. I'll start watching videos to build grammatical foundations and increase vocabulary. However, the help of a native speaker is essential; I can't overlook it, especially since I'm not like others who learn easily. It takes more effort for me, as my talent isn't much, and I struggle with self-esteem and nerves. Therefore, I need to speak with a native speaker for corrections and conversation topics. For now, I'll only chat to master vocabulary and grammar first, then work on listening and pronunciation. I need someone who not only speaks the language but also speaks it correctly and can explain a few things to me. Obviously, I translated all of this.
I feel that one of the most underrated things about Heath’s performance is his physical acting. He’s so animated. Like the way he mocks his own goon or how fluidly he gets up from the truck. It’s in a lot of other scenes too, like in his fight scenes or during the initial bank robbery. He moves like he’s straight out of a comic book which is very fitting for the character.
The part where this comment fits perfectly is when he falls and the machine gun goes off and you see his legs flying in the air and the coat going along with it looking as if a clown fell
I still get them, I was there opening night in 2008, midnight viewing and hadn't seen a crowd reaction like that before. The pencil trick literally had everyone cheering in the audience, standing up the aisles....Cheers and clapping at the end...but we were all bummed that was Ledger's greatest but last performance....
That's what I loved about Joker. It wasn't about money, glory, notoriety, power... It was about breaking the core of what he viewed as a fake society, and ripping the fabric away that hid everyone's darkness. He wanted to show that nothing matters, and what people drew inspiration from really wasn't there. That's how you make the world burn. He succeeded with Harvey, maybe he could've succeeded with Gotham eventually. The perfect villain
He can succeed with Gotham if all those obstacles weren't there He just wants to force the real thing in people out Their chaos because really that's all it is These rules, code, morals, plans and systems are just ropes You ever seen like in a movie where humans grab rope and try to tie down a giant monster but eventually it breaks Joker is like the scissor he just wants to cut the ropes so the real thing comes out. All of it is exactly like real life We have all these rules and we think they'll save us.
This brilliant performance shows three things: - Realistic loss of balance occurring after a shock - The erratic nature of the joker. - His willingness to confront the batman exceeding attention for his own physical integrity. Nonchalant, chaotic and unstoppable, he will fight no matter how hard his body gives him up. He only lives for that, he knows it. Masterpiece of method acting by H.L, quasi-metaphysical, he became the joker, he literally transcended the character. The fact that a performance persists even after several years is correlated to the sincerity of the emotions emitted by the actor, 14 years have passed and his performance remains among the best. Unforgettable.
If Black Panther was mentioned anywhere in the comments section, The Dork Knight fans would start crying because Black Panther thrashed TDK in every possible way.

The deeper point that most people miss is that The Joker wants to die. He is miserable, alone and demon possessed. Batman is the only person powerful enough to kill a demon so strong that possesses him. That's the real reason The Joker is obsessed with him. Hopefully one day the Batman will face reality and put the Joker out of his miserable existence.
@@thesecondTH-cam nah I think hes just an anarchist who wants the cause as much chaos as possible. Batman killing him would mean he broke his code proving that even the purest of men can break
2:46 “now there’s a Batman..” shows how in character he was. The joker is all chaos even with his plans. He switched his interest in the plan so fast as soon as he saw his ‘unstoppable force / immovable object’

Hahah right??? I mean that Joker was brilliant because of Heath and also quite funny in a natural way 😂❤ like yea, they will give you a minute or maybe 3 Maybe some water or snacks too hahha
3:09 I'm not trying to shit talk about CGI, but the fact that they really flipped a real truck in the streets of Chicago made this scene even more incredible.
@@sa34w but the Irishmen used CGI instead of makeup to mixed results . So is that for kids and Is it bad cinema? CGI is good when used correctly stop shiting on it cos u don't like it.
@@kushagraursal5160 but it still wasn't perfect and can disrupt the suspension of disbelief. A combo is always the best method e.g. Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 etc.
RNGNodal lol I thought so too but I reread the comment and saw that younger brother is happy mom will be home so he wants big bro to hit him (but big bro knows too so he stops)
I just realized...Joker didn’t mock Batman and spit on him. He did it to his own henchman. He was angry at him for trying to ruin the fun, and was taunting him when he failed. That’s so much better...
@Chairman Jao Bai Den still, I wouldn't want someone that doesn't hesitate to blow buildings up or carve/brand people like cows. Reflects his morality.
@Chairman Jao Bai Den and if you are maturely sane philosophically, you will learn to accept differences in the world. That corruption can NEVER BE erased fully, and the world greed will only get bigger as kind hearted souls continue to die out. And detach yourself from the worldly conflicts, whether is living alone with no one to disturb or committing suicide. Not someone who just want to destroy the system because of the unfairness/corruption. He simply just wants the world to burn and be in chaos, like the colors of his outfit. (like Alfred said). I honestly really can't see how people can justify the actions of the joker. If you are talking the movie 2019 or 2020(i forgot the year), yea he's more sympathetic and has more of a reason to kill those dicks. But he went overboard, affecting all those few (very few) innocent people in the system. What did he bring in the end? Just chaos and hell.
4:20 gotta love Nolan’s attention to details. There’s no way Batman would allow his suit to just be unmasked. He made a failsafe incase of being inoculated like right here. Buy some time before being unmasked.
Wtf!!! I actually thought joker did that all along, since immediately before that it seemed joker took something out of his pocket, figured he shocked his goon
This is definitely one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. The adrenaline that came from it was on another level. Heath’s “HIT ME” had everyone on the edge of their seats. Once Gordon was revealed, there was applause. Rest in peace Heath Ledger, forever the best Joker! ❤

He apparently spent 6 weeks locked in a hotel room reading all the comics that include Joker. This dude BECAME the Joker and that’s what’s amazing. Such a shame we lost him
I still remember experiencing this at the midnight showing. Absolutely everyone was blown away. And we all cheered like someone scored a touchdown when we found out Gordon was still alive.
I watched it in imax which was the shit back in 08 and literally everyone was cheering this entire movie and people gave it a standing ovation. This movie deserved best picture in 08.
I remember seeing this too opening night on Thursday and I remember we all clap when James was alive and of course clap and cheer for seeing heath ledger's for the first time
@@TheMoehatui can never forget that LOOK. AT. ME. one of the few moments even in the entire movie that the mask completely dropped and the monster underneath was fully revealed and like outright roaring
@@jackierocha5096 man, you're the type of person i wrote my other comment about. Where the joker hesitates to kill the banker who almost killed him at the beginning of the movie and then takes his shotgun, and then he is seen wielding that shotgun at numerous scenes up until the truck crash. This is the only person in the film the joker shows any hesitation in killing. And then he takes possession of the weapon that almost ended him. It reminds me of a philosophy spoken about by Jordan Peterson where you have to asymilate the objects of terror or fear in your life and bend them to your will. The gun almost killed joker, joker asymilated it, and used it in his crimes. And that he didn't kill the banker because he respected something in his character. That he was a person of action. He wasn't just coasting through life. When push came to shove, he grabbed his weapon and attacked.
@@donalddeluxe6407 but he did kill rachael. and he meant to kill harvey, batman just happened to save him. That was the entire point of that whole trap. They were both supposed to die. Joker just built in a small backup plan to tell batman the wrong locations for the two in the event he did happen to make it, the person he did save wouldn't be the person he wanted. That whole trap was designed to break batman mentally. That was joker's motive in the whole film. It's why he looked irritated when batman didn't hit him with the bike, and it's why he started laughing when batman threw him off the tower. He thought he finally broke him and won. Of course batman saved him, and he stopped laughing. That's why he said 'you just couldn't do it could you. you truly are incorruptible.' Joker didn't kill The dog gangster, but did order his death so... that's a moot point. The banker is still the only character in the film that joker had the means and opportunity to kill, and simply... didn't. There had to be a point to that.
This is literally one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Despite my adoring love for Hans Zimmer, The lack of music somehow makes this 10x better.
Totally agree how genius of a decision that was to have this entire chase sequence not have any background score. Especially in 2008 it was quite revolutionary and a really subtle but powerful device that you don’t realize right away but the absence of music makes the whole sequence more tense
Definitely adds another dimension of tension as the music more or less is a beacon of how the scene will play out but without those cues, the whole sequence is tense. Nolan did that as well in TDKR as Bane and Batman fought in the sewer...
@@chethanforyou the problem is that, people really love EPIC ultra mega cool scenes so you gotta make very badass score play in the background or they won't know that it's a key scene. just look at the newer Fast and Furious movies, every three minutes has a completely new song in them and i was like.. really? you really need that much music to convey something to the audience?
He also did that in the Bane and Batman fight scene in Rises. It was also in the middle of the movie as well. No music just sound effects and intensity
I love how the Joker defeats Batman at multiple points throughout the movie by understanding Batman's code and how it makes him vulnerable. In the end he won because he forced Batman to abandon his morals in order to find him.
He also won because his goal when he first contacted the mob was to kill batman. Not the man but the idea, by turning batman into a villain he effectively killed batman.
Heath Ledger was the massive massive loss in Hollywood's History. Whenever I see any clip of this movie, always one question haunts me that he should have lived more.
@Fella Einstein not really. He was great in brokeback, and you could tell he really came into his element with deeper, and more complex characters. Being a villain in Nolan's Batman universe was a good move on his part. It was dark, and gritty with a big blockbuster paycheck. His Joker in this movie reminded me of The Crow.
@Fella Einstein you are just an Ignorant. Just watch his movies and performances in Two Hands , Monster's Ball , Lords of Dogtown and Ned Kelly. All these movies he did before Brokeback Mountain. And all are very good movies And even Daniel Day Lewis praised Ledger in Monster's Ball and Lords of Dogtown. And called as an inspiration. And after Brokeback Mountain he did Candy and I'm not there which both got critical acclsimed and Commercial success way before he played Joker in the dark knight. In fact Ledger's Role in Monster's Ball lended him to Brokeback Mountain. So better do research and then rant you imbecile moron.
I think they thought it was unexpected that Batman would come out RIGHT in front of the Joker, like he somehow knew exactly where to be to head him off. All the streets he could've chosen, all the places Batman could've come out (behind him, alongside, etc)... It's sorta unexpected that he just rolls out facing him like that. The sound design is awesome as well because the motorcycle keeps building, every cut to Batman leading up to that part, the engine is building revs and it ends with just a quick touch of quiet like alright, here we go.
3:58 the way his hands twitch is a great detail to show how excited he's getting that he thinks he's about to win.. immaculate how much Heath put into this role
The way joker is always making subtle jokes is just hilarious. Runs up to a dead guy in a truck and says "excuse me, I wanna drive" and when Gordon was arresting him, he said "could you please just give me a minute" actually pretty funny stuff for a psycho murderer
@@henrybartholomewdinglenut5927 No fan theory I think, The Joker's real backstory was never revealed to keep the mystery and fear of the character, to keep the idea that he could be anyone.
After 15 years.. this was Heath's moment in movie history he never got to see. The raw carnal performance on the criminal side of The Joker will always be cinema's finest. We miss you Heath!
I don't understand how Nolan thought that scene would be good joke. It's just ruining the moments. Plus Nolan tried to show Joker was fearless when he said hit me, but the execution wasn't good so what we got was Batman being stupid crashing unnecessarily.
@@lickenhuntsman5338 no that moment was genius, remember the quote, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, that moment portrayed just that
I'll always love the sarcastic "Can you please just give me a minute?" as Gordon arrests him R.I.P Heath, gone but never forgotten and forever the greatest Joker we'll ever know
It was even more demonic when he said "look at me" to Brian Douglas (the fake Batman at the beginning of the movie). I really felt his fear and anger. Heath was a genius.

3:40 This scene is powerful for this most iconic rivals. They don't want to kill each other. Batman want to serve Justice without killing and Joker don't want to kill batman because he's enjoying.
thats straight out of the comics, batman the animated series was the first time they introduced that aspect of their relationship in another media. tdk took this and introduced it to the masses who were unaware of this. thats why the joker and tdk was so successful because it took the best parts of the joker from the comics that the mainstream were unaware of and put them on film, aspects of the joker that have stood the test of time and have proven to me successful due to them standing the test of time and still being used my writers today like the multiple origin that alan moore introduced in the killing joke. aspects of the joker that were not introduced or used by tim burton in batman 89. so to the mainstream when they saw tdk it just made sense and the interpretation works so well due to this plus add on top heath ledgers performance, it was bound to be successful and oscar worthy.
Exactly 😂 he imitates him being shocked and goes full crazy clown mode and then spits on him. Like he just had to casually taunt the guy before continuing
I love the way Heath tries to adjust his neck after getting up and falling down again and just shrugs it of not caring, just wanting to go up against Batman.
He DOES. The whole point is to corrupt The Batman. Corrupt his code. Corrupt and destroy everything he stands for. And if he doesn't.......the game just continues.
@@grimmywizard To tell you the truth, I think Joker wanting to Die has a even BIGGER story. You see, in my opinion, there are two sides of the Joker. One side is the man who tries to be like everybody else, but fails miserable. The other half is the Murdering Madman we are used to. So, the First half knows that there is no way that he can have his normal life back, so he thinks that in order to stop the Joker's madness, he must kill himself. But the problem is that the other side of the Joker fights back and he wants to go down seeing the world burn from the inside out. So, the first half decides to start thinking like the Joker, and he comes to a conclusion. He decides he's not mentally strong to kill himself, and he knows the only one that is Powerful enough to kill the Joker is Batman.
What Ledger did in The Dark Knight is Probably the Greatest Acting performance in Cinematic History. It's beyond our Imagination that how can this types of acting even Exist. Heath Ledger combined Charlie Chaplin's Demeanor , Buster Keaton's Fearlessness and Marlon Brando's Realistic Natural Method Acting all rolled into One and created his own Unique version of Acting in Joker which is completely Inventive. Ledger also took inspiration from Francis Bacon's Paintings , Psychotic Nature of Malcolm McDowell's Alex DeLarge of Clockwork Orange as well as Voice influence from Tom Waits and made it as his own. and he went to an Extream Length for his role even more deeper than Daniel Day Lewis did for his roles, as Joker character is a Dark and Psychotic which requires the Blend of Craziness and Control yet So Depthful range where an actor just Flow into some invisible unusual frequency where he just hit that Stride where he (ledger) could do no wrong because he's Untouchable and so Free, as for him he feels like an Emperor who doesn't care how many great actors or whoever standing infront of him ( Bale , Freeman , Caine , Oldman , Eckhart ) but for Ledger they all are his Toys and He just played with his Toys. it's like flying with some Sonic speed and occasionally an actor goes to the sound barrier.. and heath has really just tapped into something here, he just tuned into some Station which we can't hear. It's Natural Method + Unpredictable + Internal Depthful performance where even in some scenes and stills you can see the Humanity and Vulnerability of it as Despite of Joker is a Negative Character but still we all love Heath Ledger's Joker as some how we connect with his Ideology and philosophy despite of what he did is absolutely wrong as he tried to fix the world but by taking a wrong approach. Ledger just Flow Naturally with the Rytham. And those who question him are unaware of his talent and potential as they haven't seen his earlier work like Brokeback Mountain and Monster's Ball in which he has delivered The Dark Knight Caliber of performances. But still There exists a small yet vocal group of fandom that is convinced Heath Ledger’s Oscar win and the acclaim he received for his performance in The Dark Knight is a direct result of his death. The argument is that because of his untimely demise, his performance has been mythicised and ‘over-hyped.’ While Ledger’s death has doubtless served to propagate the legend surrounding his performance, that shouldn’t, and doesn’t, take away from the indisputable brilliance of what he accomplished with the Joker. His premature death has meant that his work in The Dark Knight will forever remain his magnum opus and the part he will eternally be associated with. Were he alive, an actor of his calibre would have given us at least three additional notable performances by now. In such a scenario, while the Joker might have remained his best work, it wouldn’t be the only thing people talk about when his name popped up, as is the situation now. Having said that, his performance as the Joker is worthy of all the acclaim it has received. With the help of Christopher Nolan, Ledger developed the character from the ground up, and executed it in a way no one had done before, or indeed, has since. The interrogation scene alone is an absolute master class. Ledger nailed everything, the unique look, the idiosyncrasies and bodily ticks, the voice, the movement, facial expressions, everything. It is one of the great exhibitions of contemporary acting, and perhaps the most exceptional performance of the 21st century, narrowly beating out Daniel Day-Lewis’ incredible work in There Will Be Blood. Heath Ledger has left an enduring mark on the cinema landscape, and even decades from now he will be recognised for what he did - delivering a performance for the ages, and one that occupies a significant position in the pantheon of cinema’s greatest accomplishments. His performance is not over-hyped; it is genius put to film. Ledger was right, his movies WILL live on forever, and through them, so will he. And Before emerging himself into the Joker Character in The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger didn't care about his Life and Family and also what kind of effect it would have on his body and Mental health because of he was so passionate for the Joker Character and he didn't care about money or his family or his life because of his Love and passion for the Art and for his work. And he has Channelise his inner demons (insomnia , Pain and exhaustion ) and his Heart breaking Break up with Michelle williams into his work. And He died Fearlessly for something he truly believes in and for his audience whom all creative artist owes to them (audience) because their (artists) work reflect and holds the mirror to the society. And Even he died but he will live forever in the heart of the millions. and I'm sure his final work as The Joker in the Dark Knight has given him the Ultimate Satisfaction as an Actor and he would have also asked himself, because of all these I'm here and this is why I'm doing all these things as an Artist.
I will never forget the adrenaline from this scene in theaters. It was such a magnificent scene, and the second Gordon was revealed, the entire audience burst out into applause. Absolute masterpiece
His stare down, not budging and turning to look nonchalantly as batman drives past him sold me on his portrayal of the character back when the first trailer dropped.
When Gordon puts his gun on Joker and he goes “ahHH,” I laughed my head off 🤣 He reminded me of a kid who’s happy it’s Friday but his mom reminds him there’s still school 😆
I still remember when many people were trashing Heath when he was cast as Joker (even Jack Nicholson was furious about the casting) and creating an online petition for a recast Oh how the tables have turned now.....
14-15 years later and it still remains my most favourite film of all time. I watched it 615 times and I ain't joking, I had a piece of paper that I kept since the first time I saw it in summer 2008 and I thrown it away in July 2022 in the 615th time I've watched it, on Nolan's birthday.
@@ashokkumarganesan3927 he didn’t commit suicide. He just couldn’t sleep and he took an accidental overdose of sleep medications and others. There is proof that it wasn’t depression because everyone who knew him (either on set or family) said that he was completely fine. Even on the day of tragedy.
The sound design of this whole scene is just amazing. I dont know what it is but its so satisfying. From the background ambience of a city at night, the way everything echoes, the noise of speeding vehicles, etc.

That would prove his point. That's what he wanted from the beggining. He wanted to show how people can be broken with a little push. Which is what happened to Harvey Dent. He succeded there. But Batman never killed him and so he failed. Although the Joker doesn't really give a shit. As neaar end of the movie he says they're destineded to play this game forever.
It pains me to see how many people don't realize this. They really think the Joker wanted to kill him, even with him blatantly saying he didn't want that ever.

I feel that one of the most underrated things about Heath’s performance is his physical acting. He’s so animated. Like the way he mocks his own goon or how fluidly he gets up from the truck. It’s in a lot of other scenes too, like in his fight scenes or during the initial bank robbery. He moves like he’s straight out of a comic book which is very fitting for the character.
Yup. He became the Joker made him real. Just a guy who is having fun. has no care in the world. This is the true Joker.
He's just simply over the top, way over the top than Nicholson's performance and he did it pretty well. This IS Joker
O headh legher ❤️
exactly, he is also hilariously flimsy and its the funniest and most entertaining thing to watch
The part where this comment fits perfectly is when he falls and the machine gun goes off and you see his legs flying in the air and the coat going along with it looking as if a clown fell
The way his voice changes when he says “Hit me” is terrifying

That's what I loved about Joker. It wasn't about money, glory, notoriety, power... It was about breaking the core of what he viewed as a fake society, and ripping the fabric away that hid everyone's darkness.
He wanted to show that nothing matters, and what people drew inspiration from really wasn't there. That's how you make the world burn. He succeeded with Harvey, maybe he could've succeeded with Gotham eventually.
The perfect villain
He can succeed with Gotham if all those obstacles weren't there
He just wants to force the real thing in people out
Their chaos because really that's all it is
These rules, code, morals, plans and systems are just ropes
You ever seen like in a movie where humans grab rope and try to tie down a giant monster but eventually it breaks
Joker is like the scissor he just wants to cut the ropes so the real thing comes out.
All of it is exactly like real life
We have all these rules and we think they'll save us.
Exactly and that's why he never kills Batman, he wants to prove even the Batman at his lowest point will be just like him. I love the idea
Well stated. He wanted to show that if you turn the screws, no one is an idealist. I don’t know if he was right, but it’s an interesting concept.
It just adds to it when what he says is true
Silly Goose, it's all a joke!
3:30 the way Heath gets up, falls down, and shoots the gun at the same time looks so fluid. It’s like it came out of the comics.
Brilliant performance!!!
It legit looks like something the Joker would do I’m not even joking lol
Omg that was so perfect and visually beautiful to see
This brilliant performance shows three things:
- Realistic loss of balance occurring after a shock
- The erratic nature of the joker.
- His willingness to confront the batman exceeding attention for his own physical integrity. Nonchalant, chaotic and unstoppable, he will fight no matter how hard his body gives him up.
He only lives for that, he knows it.
Masterpiece of method acting by H.L, quasi-metaphysical, he became the joker, he literally transcended the character.
The fact that a performance persists even after several years is correlated to the sincerity of the emotions emitted by the actor, 14 years have passed and his performance remains among the best. Unforgettable.

I always die of laughter at that part. Me and my friend sometimes make the same chuckles because we find it so funny. 😆

fun fact: they used this same laugh sound on his last appearance on this movie

and the best thing is that they sound realistic and not cartoony/forced
The look on Joker's face as Batman avoids running him over... is one of pure disappointment and frustration. brilliant work, Ledger. RIP
If you listen closely, I swear he says "fuck"
The deeper point that most people miss is that The Joker wants to die. He is miserable, alone and demon possessed.
Batman is the only person powerful enough to kill a demon so strong that possesses him.
That's the real reason The Joker is obsessed with him. Hopefully one day the Batman will face reality and put the Joker out of his miserable existence.

Frank Souza Phoenix’s Joker laugh is absolutely pathological, because it’s based on Pathological Laughing Disorder or the Pseudo-bulbar affect.
I just realized...Joker didn’t mock Batman and spit on him. He did it to his own henchman. He was angry at him for trying to ruin the fun, and was taunting him when he failed. That’s so much better...
Yes, a true villain who makes fun of his own henchman's failures is comedy/movie gold.
I mean I don’t think he was “trying to ruin the fun” he just kinda touched him
He tried to carve a smile on batman, bot take off his mask
Jeez Joker is intense
@Chairman Jao Bai Den still, I wouldn't want someone that doesn't hesitate to blow buildings up or carve/brand people like cows. Reflects his morality.
@Chairman Jao Bai Den and if you are maturely sane philosophically, you will learn to accept differences in the world. That corruption can NEVER BE erased fully, and the world greed will only get bigger as kind hearted souls continue to die out. And detach yourself from the worldly conflicts, whether is living alone with no one to disturb or committing suicide. Not someone who just want to destroy the system because of the unfairness/corruption. He simply just wants the world to burn and be in chaos, like the colors of his outfit. (like Alfred said).
I honestly really can't see how people can justify the actions of the joker. If you are talking the movie 2019 or 2020(i forgot the year), yea he's more sympathetic and has more of a reason to kill those dicks. But he went overboard, affecting all those few (very few) innocent people in the system. What did he bring in the end? Just chaos and hell.

@@jackierocha5096 man, you're the type of person i wrote my other comment about. Where the joker hesitates to kill the banker who almost killed him at the beginning of the movie and then takes his shotgun, and then he is seen wielding that shotgun at numerous scenes up until the truck crash.
This is the only person in the film the joker shows any hesitation in killing. And then he takes possession of the weapon that almost ended him. It reminds me of a philosophy spoken about by Jordan Peterson where you have to asymilate the objects of terror or fear in your life and bend them to your will. The gun almost killed joker, joker asymilated it, and used it in his crimes. And that he didn't kill the banker because he respected something in his character. That he was a person of action. He wasn't just coasting through life. When push came to shove, he grabbed his weapon and attacked.
To answer that question 3 and 1/2. Rachel, Russian mob dog owner, Chinese banker, and Harvey.
@@donalddeluxe6407 but he did kill rachael. and he meant to kill harvey, batman just happened to save him. That was the entire point of that whole trap. They were both supposed to die. Joker just built in a small backup plan to tell batman the wrong locations for the two in the event he did happen to make it, the person he did save wouldn't be the person he wanted. That whole trap was designed to break batman mentally. That was joker's motive in the whole film. It's why he looked irritated when batman didn't hit him with the bike, and it's why he started laughing when batman threw him off the tower. He thought he finally broke him and won. Of course batman saved him, and he stopped laughing. That's why he said 'you just couldn't do it could you. you truly are incorruptible.'
Joker didn't kill The dog gangster, but did order his death so... that's a moot point.
The banker is still the only character in the film that joker had the means and opportunity to kill, and simply... didn't. There had to be a point to that.
This is literally one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Despite my adoring love for Hans Zimmer, The lack of music somehow makes this 10x better.
Totally agree how genius of a decision that was to have this entire chase sequence not have any background score. Especially in 2008 it was quite revolutionary and a really subtle but powerful device that you don’t realize right away but the absence of music makes the whole sequence more tense
Definitely adds another dimension of tension as the music more or less is a beacon of how the scene will play out but without those cues, the whole sequence is tense. Nolan did that as well in TDKR as Bane and Batman fought in the sewer...
@@chethanforyou the problem is that, people really love EPIC ultra mega cool scenes so you gotta make very badass score play in the background or they won't know that it's a key scene. just look at the newer Fast and Furious movies, every three minutes has a completely new song in them and i was like.. really? you really need that much music to convey something to the audience?
He also did that in the Bane and Batman fight scene in Rises. It was also in the middle of the movie as well. No music just sound effects and intensity
Sometimes, a composer's greatest strength is knowing when to leave what's on-screen as is
I love how the Joker defeats Batman at multiple points throughout the movie by understanding Batman's code and how it makes him vulnerable. In the end he won because he forced Batman to abandon his morals in order to find him.
that's what makes him the perfect antithesis and archenemy to batman he has morals and he doesn't
He also won because his goal when he first contacted the mob was to kill batman. Not the man but the idea, by turning batman into a villain he effectively killed batman.

@Fella Einstein you are just an Ignorant. Just watch his movies and performances in Two Hands , Monster's Ball , Lords of Dogtown and Ned Kelly. All these movies he did before Brokeback Mountain. And all are very good movies And even Daniel Day Lewis praised Ledger in Monster's Ball and Lords of Dogtown. And called as an inspiration.
And after Brokeback Mountain he did Candy and I'm not there which both got critical acclsimed and Commercial success way before he played Joker in the dark knight.

I think they thought it was unexpected that Batman would come out RIGHT in front of the Joker, like he somehow knew exactly where to be to head him off. All the streets he could've chosen, all the places Batman could've come out (behind him, alongside, etc)... It's sorta unexpected that he just rolls out facing him like that.
The sound design is awesome as well because the motorcycle keeps building, every cut to Batman leading up to that part, the engine is building revs and it ends with just a quick touch of quiet like alright, here we go.

Uhm ok?
If Gordon just listened to Harvey not to trust his staffs. It will be all different
Imagine if Ben Affleck's Batman was here in this chase. Joker would've got what he wanted...
Yea fuck Ben
That's why bales Batman was so much better
Lol fuck Ben
lol it'd be funny if Bateman actually ran over him.
@Zabuza Momochi
Yeah, that's what I never understood. The Joker was given many chances but he never changed.
After 15 years.. this was Heath's moment in movie history he never got to see. The raw carnal performance on the criminal side of The Joker will always be cinema's finest. We miss you Heath!
Carnal…?
“He missed!”
*Truck flips*
Joker: “No he didn’t-“

I don't understand how Nolan thought that scene would be good joke. It's just ruining the moments.
Plus Nolan tried to show Joker was fearless when he said hit me, but the execution wasn't good so what we got was Batman being stupid crashing unnecessarily.

That demonic voice when he gets angry always gets me
I think that’s his true voice
I actually really liked it when he talks with that voice
I think I got issues 😂
It was even more demonic when he said "look at me" to Brian Douglas (the fake Batman at the beginning of the movie). I really felt his fear and anger. Heath was a genius.
hey, all of you that's his real voice. xD have you ever listen to an interview to him ? do it...

You will always be remembered as a legend.
He died on my 26th birthday. I'm 40 now, an age Heath never reached, and I've still never gotten over it.

3:40 This scene is powerful for this most iconic rivals. They don't want to kill each other. Batman want to serve Justice without killing and Joker don't want to kill batman because he's enjoying.
that's the main reason in the comics as well why the joker doesn't kill batman when he has the chance
thats straight out of the comics, batman the animated series was the first time they introduced that aspect of their relationship in another media. tdk took this and introduced it to the masses who were unaware of this. thats why the joker and tdk was so successful because it took the best parts of the joker from the comics that the mainstream were unaware of and put them on film, aspects of the joker that have stood the test of time and have proven to me successful due to them standing the test of time and still being used my writers today like the multiple origin that alan moore introduced in the killing joke. aspects of the joker that were not introduced or used by tim burton in batman 89. so to the mainstream when they saw tdk it just made sense and the interpretation works so well due to this plus add on top heath ledgers performance, it was bound to be successful and oscar worthy.
Certainly a very complex rivalry between the two
2:13 One of Heath Ledger's greatest Joker laughs. 🃏
His laugh on 2:13 still gives me chills.
Rest in Peace

Nobody is talking about how Ledger was laughing and then just spat on him.
So fucking funny honestly it makes the whole scene so much better
Exactly 😂 he imitates him being shocked and goes full crazy clown mode and then spits on him. Like he just had to casually taunt the guy before continuing
I don't think that was a spit i think that was him whispering "come on." My headphones have great quality and they can pick up smaller sounds better.
@@sizarix yeah I heard it to
@@sizarix no he said come on after he spat on him
I love the way Heath tries to adjust his neck after getting up and falling down again and just shrugs it of not caring, just wanting to go up against Batman.
I love the fact that there's almost no background music in this scene. The rawness makes this scene great!
Yeah the music or lack of , is the best.

I like how Joker is just screaming "HIT ME!" like he wants to die.
He DOES. The whole point is to corrupt The Batman. Corrupt his code. Corrupt and destroy everything he stands for. And if he doesn't.......the game just continues.
You don't even get Joker's whole point lol
@@VRmission38 Exactly, like the Joker says, "you complete me."
pieguy07 he wins if he dies, he also wins if he lives.
@@grimmywizard To tell you the truth, I think Joker wanting to Die has a even BIGGER story. You see, in my opinion, there are two sides of the Joker. One side is the man who tries to be like everybody else, but fails miserable. The other half is the Murdering Madman we are used to. So, the First half knows that there is no way that he can have his normal life back, so he thinks that in order to stop the Joker's madness, he must kill himself. But the problem is that the other side of the Joker fights back and he wants to go down seeing the world burn from the inside out. So, the first half decides to start thinking like the Joker, and he comes to a conclusion. He decides he's not mentally strong to kill himself, and he knows the only one that is Powerful enough to kill the Joker is Batman.
This movie is legendary, the best joker ever, is so natural his performance...
Bhi move name Kia h
@@adnanali5805 The Dark Knight
Legendary and a classic one
Joaquim Phoenix is Very good too
@@nate1735 yeah!
What Ledger did in The Dark Knight is Probably the Greatest Acting performance in Cinematic History. It's beyond our Imagination that how can this types of acting even Exist.
Heath Ledger combined Charlie Chaplin's Demeanor , Buster Keaton's Fearlessness and Marlon Brando's Realistic Natural Method Acting all rolled into One and created his own Unique version of Acting in Joker which is completely Inventive.
Ledger also took inspiration from Francis Bacon's Paintings , Psychotic Nature of Malcolm McDowell's Alex DeLarge of Clockwork Orange as well as Voice influence from Tom Waits and made it as his own. and he went to an Extream Length for his role even more deeper than Daniel Day Lewis did for his roles, as Joker character is a Dark and Psychotic which requires the Blend of Craziness and Control yet So Depthful range where an actor just Flow into some invisible unusual frequency where he just hit that Stride where he (ledger) could do no wrong because he's Untouchable and so Free, as for him he feels like an Emperor who doesn't care how many great actors or whoever standing infront of him ( Bale , Freeman , Caine , Oldman , Eckhart ) but for Ledger they all are his Toys and He just played with his Toys. it's like flying with some Sonic speed and occasionally an actor goes to the sound barrier.. and heath has really just tapped into something here, he just tuned into some Station which we can't hear.
It's Natural Method + Unpredictable + Internal Depthful performance where even in some scenes and stills you can see the Humanity and Vulnerability of it as Despite of Joker is a Negative Character but still we all love Heath Ledger's Joker as some how we connect with his Ideology and philosophy despite of what he did is absolutely wrong as he tried to fix the world but by taking a wrong approach.
Ledger just Flow Naturally with the Rytham. And those who question him are unaware of his talent and potential as they haven't seen his earlier work like Brokeback Mountain and Monster's Ball in which he has delivered The Dark Knight Caliber of performances.
But still There exists a small yet vocal group of fandom that is convinced Heath Ledger’s Oscar win and the acclaim he received for his performance in The Dark Knight is a direct result of his death. The argument is that because of his untimely demise, his performance has been mythicised and ‘over-hyped.’
While Ledger’s death has doubtless served to propagate the legend surrounding his performance, that shouldn’t, and doesn’t, take away from the indisputable brilliance of what he accomplished with the Joker.
His premature death has meant that his work in The Dark Knight will forever remain his magnum opus and the part he will eternally be associated with. Were he alive, an actor of his calibre would have given us at least three additional notable performances by now.
In such a scenario, while the Joker might have remained his best work, it wouldn’t be the only thing people talk about when his name popped up, as is the situation now.
Having said that, his performance as the Joker is worthy of all the acclaim it has received. With the help of Christopher Nolan, Ledger developed the character from the ground up, and executed it in a way no one had done before, or indeed, has since. The interrogation scene alone is an absolute master class. Ledger nailed everything, the unique look, the idiosyncrasies and bodily ticks, the voice, the movement, facial expressions, everything.
It is one of the great exhibitions of contemporary acting, and perhaps the most exceptional performance of the 21st century, narrowly beating out Daniel Day-Lewis’ incredible work in There Will Be Blood.
Heath Ledger has left an enduring mark on the cinema landscape, and even decades from now he will be recognised for what he did - delivering a performance for the ages, and one that occupies a significant position in the pantheon of cinema’s greatest accomplishments.
His performance is not over-hyped; it is genius put to film.
Ledger was right, his movies WILL live on forever, and through them, so will he.
And Before emerging himself into the Joker Character in The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger didn't care about his Life and Family and also what kind of effect it would have on his body and Mental health because of he was so passionate for the Joker Character and he didn't care about money or his family or his life because of his Love and passion for the Art and for his work. And he has Channelise his inner demons (insomnia , Pain and exhaustion ) and his Heart breaking Break up with Michelle williams into his work. And He died Fearlessly for something he truly believes in and for his audience whom all creative artist owes to them (audience) because their (artists) work reflect and holds the mirror to the society. And Even he died but he will live forever in the heart of the millions. and I'm sure his final work as The Joker in the Dark Knight has given him the Ultimate Satisfaction as an Actor and he would have also asked himself, because of all these I'm here and this is why I'm doing all these things as an Artist.
