What? Speak English already. Cheese and crackers. Ar-tic-u-late.
Glad you didn't see godfather you'd've come out all, "heyuh! Itsa meyuh! Mario!"
SYMBOLISMS! Bats can't speak English neither! 🦇 But the ones that hang out in the Bat Cave yeah.. get to hear Batman talking and probably learn it off him
Cristopher NOLAN is the Best Director that WARNER could get to adapt the DC Stories...He is the BEST Director who knew how to create the BATMAN universe, after Burton. Afterwards, No Other Director Has Known How to Recreate DC Stories. Pattinson's Batman is just getting started and looks great.
Hear! Hear!
Couple of things you guys misunderstood
-the guy pretending to be batman at the start, was part of a unit of cops pretending to be batman to try helping
- the coin harvey gave rachel was a coin with heads on both sides, so everytime he was flipping for something, he knew it would be heads, when rachel died, one side became tails so it became real coin flips
- bruce was trying to save rachel, but joker told him the opposite places, so if he went for harvey, he would have saved rachel, basically whichever choice batman wanted to make, it would end up being the opposite. Joker always wins. (Edit: just got to the part where ash explains it)
This movie is in my top 3 of all time, so glad i watched this in the cinemas as a kid
Heath Ledger's performance is so iconic you almost put aside Aaron Eckhart's truly scary performance as Two-Face.
Almost... but not quite. Dude is sympathetic and Eckhart haa this decency about him that really makes his fall from sanity that much sadder.
All did a great job on this moving but Heath was so crazy mind blowing good you oversee the rest of the Stars cause there is a Supernova going off
Maybe for this take on Two-Face. To me, he's not the definitive Two-Face. Hell, he doesn't even have the split-personality.
@@fynnthefox9078 It's the best we're probably going to get. Two-Face, when you actually step back and look at him, is a goofy-ass character with some pretty outdated perspectives on mental health and split-personality disorder.
Eckhart's portrayal is a much better way to do it. He still embodies the "Apollo, the golden boy" fallen savior of Gotham role, and still maintains his obsessions with chance and his coin without bringing in offensive mental health takes. Dude was already a little unhinged from the beginning, and finally snapped from the stress into becoming homicidal.
Agreed. The only thing I wish had been done differently was how Dent became Two-Face, they had the perfect opportunity to do it in the courtroom scene and didn't do it. I realize the way it happened was part of the story, but still.
I still get chills when the joker yells “look at me!”
That was his real voice as a psychopath. Everything else was pretend.
Remember '92 was a good year.
46:54 - just a quick note for you and Hannah since it seems like you both missed this: Dent's coin was double sided, it had two Heads rather than a Heads and a Tails. So when he says "I make my own luck" he really meant it. He wasn't ever going to kill that man earlier in the film because the coin can never be a Tails.
It's only after he becomes Two-Face that the coin has any real risk. It's still a double sided coin in this bar scene, but now while there are still two Heads (or two faces) one of them is burnt and the other is clean. If it lands on the burnt side, he kills.
I came here to say this!
plus in the hospital scene, batman leaves it there for him as a token of mourning but it ends up sinking him further into his later mania when he finds it and just a moment thinks that rachel survived and left it there, only to find the other side burnt.
"I make my own luck"
Well said! I’ve noticed a lot of reactors missed that subtle detail, not just Ash and Hannah.
Harvey's coin was heads on both sides. Once you know that, if you go back and listen to every time he flipped the coin, he always said "Heads" would be a good outcome, and "Tails" would be a bad outcome...even when Batman stopped him...because Harvey knew that "Tails" was never going to happen with a double-headed coin. That all changed once he became Two-Face. The dark/burnt head meant he was going to do something bad.
I’m always surprised that not may people pick up on this little detail about the two sided coin. Harvey always knew what he was doing.
Yeah, kinda crucial to understand that. He was never going to kill that man in the alley
DUDE I just realized that when he was intimidating David Dastmalchian's character he purposefully said "Heads? You get to keep your head" cuz at that point he still was a good guy and wouldn't kill a person
@@Objective_Piece8285 yep, Harvey was good
Yes. "I make my own luck"
Heath Ledger was absolutely amazing in this movie. I remember hearing about him locking himself up in a motel room for 30 days, keeping a diary to prepare himself for the role and was dumbfounded by his commitment to the craft. I also remember hearing about his death shortly after and how sad it was to have lost such a great talent at so young an age.
15 years later it's still one of the greatest performances and to me, this is STILL the greatest superhero movie of all time.
I keep his performance and his process as attested to by his family apart and separate from his untimely passing. I try not to make some sorta speculation or anything. Brilliant and professional!
This is easily the best superhero film ever.
Watch Parnassus, too. His last movie. Always makes me cry watching it....
@@elricofmelnibone8256 I like Constantine more, true.
I think this movie (The Dark Knight) only has a few issues, but Heath's performance is SUCH a tremendous highlight, it makes me forget them.
My favorite superhero is Spiderman and quite frankly, my favorite Spiderman movie is Far From Home... 😅
Just because it's just SOOO much FUN!
Parnassus is such an underrated movie@@chanceneck8072
Not only was the clapping in the jail cell improvised, so was the scene of him telling Rachel how he got his scars. She was frightened and was trying to look at Christopher Nolan to see what's going on.
I always start this film New Year's Eve at 9:47:07, so at midnight the Joker says "Here We Go".
I've heard that Joker's reaction when the hospital didn't blow up right away was an unscripted reaction to the pyro malfunctioning.
yes@@passionsquietrage
He was so scary that the guy who played Alfred forgot his lines when he came in.
I love how Ash is like a kid in a candy store. He loves the film so much and just wants Hannah to love it as much as he does.
Ash trying not to spoil it for her is so sweet. But sometimes you can really see his pain.
I love Ash laughing at the people dying while Hannah’s traumatised 🤣🤣🤣
It's like watching his reactions to all the deaths on John Wick movies and the raid movies again 😂😂
Just like the movie.
Ash is going Joker wild and Hannah is in full on wtf mode.
Yeah, I mean she even mentioned in the video that he laughs similar to the way Joker does when he's KO'ing people, and Ash was literally smiling bigger than the Joker was as she said it... 🤣😭💀
The Russian mob boss in the kitchen meeting is so good. He smiles at Joker's trick. He's considering his offer. He's the only one taking him seriously from the beginning.
His laughing when he's getting punched in the interrogation room still gives me the chills even though I've seen this movie so many times over the years. It's literally the perfect Joker laugh. Heath Ledger set a new bar for acting with this one.
I read about that SCENE & Heath told Batman to just 'KICK MY ASS' for real, I can take the punches & want it to be real. It worked because Heath had previous 'training' from stuntmen in the business. GREAT JOB!
Its more powerfull when you know every single punch on that scene was real even Bruce getting angrier and desperate and punching harder and harder.
@@Daniel-ik7tu That kind of dedication is just so fun and inspiring, not to mention rare in the movie industry. It lets those closeup shots and long takes exist, because they don't have to cut the scene to hell to hide stunt doubles. I'm not saying I want all the actors to be willing to take a real and physical beating, but it's nice to see that there are some that are still willing to take the craft so seriously to give such iconic performances.
Red wedding at 5 and Dark Knight at 7. Gonna be a good night 😂
Could been worse first time infinity war then endgame and then red wedding but yeah. Poor hanna
Can't get much of a better combo
Riiiiight lol
Omg. Lmao
Jeebuz!
How could one entirely focus on one after watching the other?
I saw Hancock in the cinema the same day that I saw Dark Knight in the cinema.
Hancock is a FANTASTIC movie. Sadly, of COURSE, this buried Hancock for me and society as a whole.
🤷♂️
Not simply a great superhero film, but truly one of the great crime films of the 21st century.
This trilogy transcends the superhero genre just like Logan, Joker, and The Batman do
@@LeSteeler 🃏
@@LeSteeler Yep, I generally don't like superhero movies. This entire trilogy is an amazing action / crime story, that happens to be a superhero story.
@@LeSteelerlol, those three don't even come close to TDK
@@vn5774 Logan def does but the batman was overrated.
Hannah: “You know what’s concerning Ash? That’s similar to how you react to destruction and killing”
Ash: “Yeah! 😀”
And dark knight rises ?
Fr been almost a year now💀😭
It's trash, don't bother
My older sister's boyfriend (now my brother in law) is a huge batman nerd and was hyping this movie up to no end before its release. We went on opening day and both of our jaws hit the floor at the pencil trick... we bought tickets to the next available showing immediately after the movie ended. Only film I've ever gone to see twice in one day, what an absolute masterpiece!
RIP Heath, truly one of the greatest performances of all time.
Good night
Hannah missed that Harvey’s coin is a double-sided coin (both heads). He wasn’t going to kill the guy because he always picks heads and “makes his own luck”. After he turns into Two Face, the coin is scorched too, with the burned side being tails now
Good night 😊😊
The scene where The Joker claps in unison with the entire precinct as he is sitting in jail at Gordon getting promoted was completely off-script improvisation by Ledger. Such an incredible moment in the movie and speaks to the calibre of his acting. An artist he was and this role was his masterpiece.. RIP Heath.
Good night 😊😊
I grew up on Jack Nicholson Joker. When I heard about this, I was upset. No one could play it the way Jack did. And I didn’t like Heath.
Saw this movie and was STUNNED. One of the most amazing performances EVER. Heath deserved his posthumous Oscar.
Heath Ledger gave his life to this portrayal of The Joker. Amazing performance from an amazing actor. RIP Mr. Ledger
None of the boat scenes? I think DeeBo throwing the detonator out the window is one of the most powerful scenes in the movie.
@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDENyou also need to take into account copyright. Some studios aren’t as lenient as others. And there’s a lot of content here.
The boat scene is good, but it’s definitely not the most powerful. If Deebo wasn’t in that scene it would just be more cannon fodder for joker
Rip Deebo😞
That scene is so powerful because it showed that the Jokers theory that people will descend to savagery when the chips are down was wrong and that what Batman was fighting for the whole time was that inspiring hope in people will make them do the right thing.
Didn't do his call in to the news about blowing up the hospital
@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN "It's symbolisms, bitch. Get the kebabs or my Iranian dad will beat you with a flip flop."
Yup, his schtick is getting old.
“ Some men aren’t looking for anything logical like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men, Just wanna watch the world burn! “ one of my favorite movie quotes of all time
I was already a Batman fan before this movie, but when I saw this movie back in 2008, it not only made me more of a Bat-Fan, but it also made me a fan of Christopher Nolan's work. I thank Nolan for making Batman great again.
Acting is phenomenal and the story is so good this is why it's the best superhero movie didn't rely on stupid cameos , stupid jokes and cg , just pure acting and storytelling.
Bro preach that shit!!!!
The way she’s rocking back and forth is so suspenseful. She’s going through it. Almost like she’s having a panic attack.
Good night
I loved Harvey's two headed coin. He always felt in control because of it, but in the end, he learned that you can't control everything
20:30 Fun Fact: The old guy who tells the Joker "We're not intimidated by thugs" is portrayed by Patrick Leahy, who was a US Senator (Vermont) since 1975, retiring just this year in 2023. Leahy is a huge comic fan (especially Batman), & as such appeared in all 3 Nolan Batman movies, as well as Batman Forever, Batman & Robin (probably won't admit that one), & Batman v Superman...
It is unbelievable how much is in this movie. The video is an hour long, yet they cut out all of the ferry and the hospital evacuation scenes and so much more. Absolutely exceptional!
Also, I think Hanna did not get that the coin had two same sides and that Harvey never meant to kill that one guy.
Cutting out the ferry scenes is dicey. It shows the one time The Joker is proven wrong by the civilians. It’s important. But no Batman. So I get it
Come to think of it, the guy trying to blackmail Fox because of Batmans secret identity is also completely gone.
Hannah's reaction was great, and her comments were very insightful. Especially her take on the Joker and her realization that his story about his past was an elaborate joke that made him even more of a monster. And she got how Heath Ledger 's performance both draws you in and scares the hell out of you.
It isn't just a 'joke' - it also denies you a reason why he hates AND it is also a commentary, that, combined with the "Some men just want to watch the world burn" is a reminder that you cannot apply your morality to those without it. Some men just want to watch the world burn - so you have to deny it to them.
His story is a big what if. Yeah what if he made it all up, but what if they’re all true? All the stories could be true, and adds to how life has broken down a man to the point you see the Joker at.
Also look at who he directs these stories to. Gambol is a career criminal, probably grew up in a violent household. Rachel is young and beautiful and at a point in her life when she’s considering marriage. Both can relate to Joker’s stories in their own way and Joker knows this.
This is one of the best superhero films in existence!❤
Say it louder mate 👊🏽
Cristopher NOLAN is the Best Director that WARNER could get to adapt the DC Stories...He is the BEST Director who knew how to create the BATMAN universe, after Burton. Afterwards, No Other Director Has Known How to Recreate DC Stories. Pattinson's Batman is just getting started and looks great.
@@NERD-LANDyes Reeves is great now too
This isn’t one of the best, it is the best.
This is one of the best films in existence!
By the way, a lot of Joker’s movements and lines are improvised, many of which made it into the movie. One of my favorites is the hospital blow up scene. The whole explosion was meant to go off without a pause. It didn’t, and they only had one take to get it right, so Ledger just did what he felt the Joker would actually do if his bombs didn’t all explode as planned and it is just perfect.
That’s not true actually! They programmed the pause intentionally to make sure Heath had enough time to clear the explosion! He did ham it up though!
This movie never loses its magic! And the late Heath Ledger giving us his timeless (and bone chilling) performance as the Joker is just one of a kind. May he rest in amazing peace 👏👏👏
I bloody love Hannah and how hype and worked up she gets over the smallest things.
She's so freakin cute and hilarious. 😄
Alcohol does that to you 😂
Ash is her perfect foil.
And vice versa.
I really wish them both well.
There's hope for the world yet.
Start breeding already.
If you haven't watched it A Knights Tale was the first film I ever saw with Heath Ledger... well worth the watch. Got Robert Baratheon in it too
Omfg please watch this, Paul Bettany and Alan Tudek, I forget the main antagonists name but he is good as well
A Knights Tale is amazing, Ash get on this one!
Yeah love that film.
The "unofficial" backstory that Nolan had about the Joker was he is ex-military. And Patton Oswalt expounded on it to be specifically in interrogation. And if you look at what he does it makes sense. The planning and knowledge of multiple types of weaponry. His ability to manipulate. And he uses specific details in his conversation with Harvey that show a little insight. He mentioned soldiers being blown up and how it's all part of the plan. I like this idea.
I've seen this film maybe 15-20 in my life. It never gets old, never gets boring, its a remarkable cinematic achievement
Shy numbers. Y get those yearly at least.
I remember sneaking out of class in high school to see this movie. There were lines outside the theater and me and the boys got the last few tickets for the 12:30 showing. The cheering and enthusiasm from the audience was something you just had to be there for. The movie got a standing ovation from the audience when the credits rolled. It’s truly one of the best movies ever made. Certainly the best superhero movie ever made
It's not about superheroes because the characters don't have superpowers that's why it's great
Good night
In my opinion Batman The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2 are the best heroes movies in history
Yeah because both movies are about the core of each character and what they stand for with Batman and Spider-Man
Logan (2017) is the greatest superhero movie ever made, this is a close second.
@@Karlach_ehh Logan is a bit too iconoclast to be a straight up superhero film. It's more of a hero deconstruction film which it is the best. But as far as a genuine adaptation of the spirit of the comics to film, The Dark Knight has it
@@Theroadtoawe Logan is far from a hero deconstruction, it's the exact opposite. Logan starts the movie off being selfish and by the end sacrifices his life for others dying a true hero.
I think you need to rewatch the movie bud.
Bruv, how is it that you've yet to watch my fave Christopher Nolan film "The Prestige"? It's got two of the actors from "Batman Begins" and it will be absolutely awesome seeing Hannah's detective mode kick in on this one. You guys gotta watch it! Luv you two maniacs.
Some of the great portrayals of The Joker on screen have each leaned in to one the many facets that make up the character, which you guys also spoke about briefly too when talking about Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal compared to Heath Ledger’s; really showing how complex the psyche of this character is…
- Cesar Romero’s Joker: THE CLOWN
- Jack Nicholson’s Joker: THE GANGSTER
- Mark Hamill’s Joker: THE TRICKSTER
- Heath Ledger’s Joker: THE ANARCHIST
- Jared Leto’s Joker: THE PSYCHOPATH
- Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker: THE COMEDIAN
- Cameron Monaghan’s Joker: THE MANIAC
Hii
The magic of a theater, gave me chills. The entire theater was filled with a nervous, trembling people witnessing what felt real from Heath. Like seeing Prince at the United center before his death, watching this movie in a theater was a privilege and honor.
Heath Ledger was so dedicated to this role. He locked himself in a hotel room for a month and kept a diary to prepare for the role. He did a lot of improvisation. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Best joker of all time, best batman movie! RIP Heath Ledger.
When you think about it Rachel died thinking Bruce chose to save Dent instead of Rachel thats absolutely devastating.
I'd think she would be relieved? One that the guy she chose lived & two that her oldest friend did what they both thought was right for the city?
I don’t see it that way, especially considering at that point Rachel had already chosen Dent, and there was a possibility her choosing Dent would cause Bruce to lose his faith in people.
Honestly, I believe had Joker not switched the addresses and Batman saved her over Dent, Rachel may have come to resent Bruce because she would’ve saw his decision as selfish… which it was, tbh.
Ash I recently discovered your channel, I’m currently watching all your videos with Hannah and I’m loving them. Making people laugh is a gift and both of you guys are blessed with it. I love your reactions and your chemistry and I strongly believe you could do together other content too successfully. Keep doing what you do and if you ever feel discouraged, remember there are people who really appreciate your work. Love you guys from Greece.
This movie is so well written, all the lines are legendary
Giving the wrong address to Batman was such a genius move - probably my favorite of the whole movie. He wanted to make the Batman break his rules and he wanted to show the world that people are just animals and that we're all one small step away from becoming crazy by breaking the White Knight - the most "outstanding" citizen out of all of them. By killing Rachel, who they both loved, he could get both of them to break at the same time. All of the other stuff was just distractions for the message he wanted people to know; that we all have the capacity of becoming someone like him.
Huh. Good analysis. I didn’t realize that’s what he was doing. I thought he was just being rude.
Wait he gave the wrong address? So Batman really was trying to save Rachel? I never understood this to be the case as a kid, time to rewatch
@@Wraiven22 Yes, that’s the case. He gave the right addresses but switched them because he knew Batman would go for Rachel. So he rudely engineered it to where he would unknowingly save Harvey instead.
It also sets up the question about the two boats. Can you trust what the Joker says? Did the remotes trigger the bombs on the other boats or to their own?
If the man had triggered the convict's boat and it blew up his own, people wouldn't know and assume the choice was made by the police to save themselves and the convicts, thus creating more distrust and chaos.
@@garysmith3037 I’m stunned.
“If the joker had pursued medical science, we’d all be cured of everything” 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome reaction. Ash was losing his mind and Hannah yelped every 5 mins 😂
27:19. He even said “NOT exactly” I love the significance of that line. You find out later when he tosses the coin to Rachel. So many great throw backs.
Heath Ledger is one of only 9 people to ever be nominated posthumously for acting and one of only 2 to ever win (the only other posthumous winner being Peter Finch, who won Best Actor for NETWORK (1976)) (both Finch and Ledger were coincidentally Australians).
So glad I finally got to see this in theaters, it elevated this movie to one of my favorites. The first half is immaculately written, where literally every line furthers either character development or plot development or is a setup for something that pays off in the second half. Pure cinema.
One of my all time favorite movies...
Bless Hannah and her reactions. Made me relive this movie like it was the first time watching
In the interrogation room, Joker tells Batman "Killing is making a choice, and tonight you're gonna break your one rule" IE "You're gonna kill someone." He's trying to tell him without being clear that whoever he chooses to save will die. That's why he switches the addresses... He wants Batman to chose someone to die.
Ive trained with the guy who trained christian bale how to fight in this film, and met heath ledger, he told me that heath ledger was crazily good on set and christian bale adopted the way he was taught to fight very quick, which is a common statement since the style feels natural
what style of fighting does he teach? and is it just for movies or good technique for real life?
@@lawdog369 it's original name is the keysi fighting method. It's explicitly a practical way of defending yourself against multiple opponents.
Thanks for answering. I will look into it. That was the whole point about the character Raz al Gul was he was the best fighter ever because of long life and experience and he trained Batman. If you have not seen it watch the CW show Arrow because Raz al Gul trains the Green Arrow in a similar fashion and they have a great fight scene.
@@chronicler19
"And there's idiots that think The Batman is better than this. SHUT UP!" - You just got another sub.
Hannah (for once) actually missed a crucial detail when she says Harvey always had it in him to kill. Prior to the explosion his coin was double-headed so he was in control of his actions
This is not to say that Harvey didn’t have an aggressive edge to him as he clearly did, but the Joker manipulated this into lethal force
Christian Bale's Batman voice was actually not as gruff when he was performing his role, it was edited in post-production to make it sound like this!
Another very interesting film starring Heath is Brothers Grimm, I'd recommend watching that at some point!
I'm only 4 minutes in and I just have to say how much I ADORE the fact that Ash is literally vibrating with enjoyment while Hannah is just reacting to this majestic movie lol. Absolute first rate!
Two part edit! First and foremost and I didn't mean it to sound like Hannah is "just reacting". Love her genuine honesty! Part 2 is thank you for the like Ash
There are very few characters as intense as Heath's joker. Every scene he was in, he just reached through the screen and grabbed you.
I love the behind the scenes of heath ledger skateboarding in full costume doing kick flips over Batman 😂
Hands down the best of the trilogy in my opinion. Of course Heath Ledger absolutely stole the movie with his amazing portrayal of "The Joker".
comparing The Dark Knight, Joker and The Batman is apples to oranges to pears lol. they're all phenomenal but for very different reasons.
I feel that Bale’s Batman is more of the enforcer protector one while Pattinson’s was more of the detective Batman.
@@talljohnsparky I feel like Bale and Affleck are the only Batmen we've seen (in live action) that truly embody how great of a strategist Bruce is. And after having both of those performances back to back it was super refreshing to see Pattinson's Batman come along and lean more into his skill as a detective.
Love this guys sinister laughter/look when he knows the lines/scenes are coming up makes this JUST as enjoyable!!
I have been waiting for you guys to react to this one! Such a great movie. It goes without saying that Heath Ledger is beyond tremendous. So quotable and an instant classic. This one is GOATED. 🤘🏽
Good night 😊😊
Jokers multiple stories around his scars keeps the mystique. Kind of makes his story have darker depths.
Also, that chase scene never fails to give me goosebumps. The silence as the truck flips over, Joker stumbling along whilst firing the gun, the tension build as Batman fights against the part of himself that wants to kill the Joker. Timeless.
Harvey Dent's decline into what he became is also a little nod to the author Alexander Solzhenitsyn (although probs not intentional) - “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”. Viktor Frankl also had this experience with his time in the concentration camps where he noted good deeds from some of the guards.
Holy crap!! This was such a great watch! I'll for sure be subscribing to the Patreon so I can check out the full reaction next month.
Very solid reaction from the both of you. Wow!
Good night 😊😊
One thing i'm pointing out to you ash because i know you're the king of symbalisms. In the first scene in Harvey's office, in the background behind gordon you can see one side of the book shelf is nice and organized, while the other is completely messy and a disarray, foreshadowing "Harvery Two Face". Also in the scene in the back alley when Dent is threatening to kill the guy and batman catches the coin, the lighting/shadows cover half of his face, again foreshadowing. UGH bro Christopher Nolan is a fkn genius. Was much looking forward to this reaction!! Have a great weekend Ash and Hannah!!
So happy I got to see this opening night at the theater! I’m not usually a big mindless superhero/action movie person, but this movie was really worth that experience. So sad that someone shot to a theater during this time, I can’t imagine how tainted this movie is for everyone that was at that theater and all of their loved ones.
47:00 actually, Hannah, Harvey had a "heads - heads" special coin, it would never fall tails, he was never going to kill anyone. It also alluded to him being "2-face". Later one side burns, now representing tails
Recently rewatched the trilogy..definitely in the top 5 of movie masterpieces. Great reactions from Hannah & Ash watching Hannah 😂. Love you guys
I love Hannah reacting to anything I could listen to her all day fr, this will forever be the best joker. Heath leger went through so much for this role RIP to one of the greatest 🙏❤️
"I felt sorry for him and now I feel sorry for him about his wife even though I know he's lying!" Hannah starting on her Harley Quinn path.
I love the movie and Hannah's reaction was so amazing, love it too! 👌😊 So entertaining!
It’s the just trust ash song at the start for me, the symbolism at the end is 🔥
5:00
The m18 smoke grenade heats up during operation. Like hell. In about 15 seconds this guy will wish it was an offensive grenade. An explosion kills much faster than burns...
This is my favorite movie of all time! Heath absolutely gives the best performance ever put to film! RIP to a legend
I was a bit reluctant to watch this reaction, because I was full on thinking that you guys probably have no idea who Heath was, or could ever understand what he's done on and off screen for this role, but something tells me that you both already know that! I knew you wouldn't break my heart like that. It's such a relief, because you can't even imagine having to watch a noob reactor say: _"Who is this weird guy playing the Joker? Why's he so weird? You call this the Joker? Jared Leto was better."_
Nah, I would hunt down whoever says such a thing. Heath was the greatest Joker we will EVER get. Period.
ah man i might be off some good specific greens rn and its so kool being along the ride here yall got the best energy fam
i love you guys so mutch! your content is so entertaining i could watch your videos all day!
I got this on DVD at the end of a nightshift...6 in the morning.....I was hangin out my arse....put it on as something to watch while I fell asleep..... I was sat there about 9 o clock wide awake and gobsmacked.....then I watched it again...then I went sleep....fuck me what a film!
Lol. Loved your story
I actually prefer Batman Begins as a Batman movie but still really enjoy Dark Knight as a film. I personally just never cared for how Nolan tried to "ground" Batman in this film and Dark Knight Rises. Gotham was turned into basically Chicago lacking any personality and Batman himself visually was striped from some of his look for example making the Bat symbol less visible and making the suit much slimmer. To me you can ground a character, of course that's fine but that doesn't equal removing personality and visual design just makes it boring and dull.
Also hated Bales Batman voice, worse part of these films and I just can't see Bale as a good Batman. Amazing Bruce Wayne though but I never understood people's love of him as Batman.
This is where The Batman shined for me it's tone, depiction of Gotham City, much better than what we got in Nolan's later Batman films. Even the TV show Gotham had a much better depiction of the city, even featured blimps so I hope that's something we get in Gunn's new DCU Gotham City. And Robert was just a better Batman, Bale the better Bruce Wayne but that could change in the future once we actually see Robert as Bruce Wayne more.
Pencil magic trick is one of my all time favorite scenes; reaction did not disappoint! 🤣
45:02 my favorite little Easter egg about this movie is that his reaction to the explosion was GENUINE because the pyro failed and there was a delay
Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since this LEGENDARY PIECE OF ART came out!🤯
Love the reactions. This is a masterpiece. I wish Heath was alive to receive his academy award. If you listen to "Batman" as he leaves the police station he tells Gordon he is going after Rachel so he fully believes he is going to save her. Jack Nicholson actually warned Heath about taking on the mental aspect of the Joker while he was filming. Much love and keep on J.
Lol everyone misses "which one are you going after?"
"Rachel!"
I’m just as passionate about this movie as you are Ash! It’s my favorite movie ever and Ledger is my favorite actor just because of this role. I’ve probably seen it 150 times and still never get sick of it. Actually have the joker card used in the movie tatted on me and plan on getting one more for Heath because he’s the reason I love movies so much! Also have a framed picture of Joker and Batman in the interrogation room. It says “Why so serious?” at the top and “The Dark Knight” at the bottom. With both Christian Bale and Heath Ledger’s signatures 100% authentic. It’s funny cause your reaction is basically mine and Hannah’s reaction was similar to my girls the first time I showed it to her! Keep up the great work you two are awesome!
Oh gods Ash azimam. This is such a good start to a shitty day.
You and Hannahs reactions are just so wholesome.
Also little side note, Heath Ledger made up a lot of these lines on the spot and he personally directed the scene where Joker kills the Batman impersonator. On top of that, when he blew up the hospital, the remote did actually malfunction and Heath just stayed in character to get the remote working.
The part with the joker and Rachael at the dinner was also improvised, her react was real and actually freaked out
a true objective masterpiece, wish you put more of that last scene with two face, incredible writing and acting
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. great job mate
Seeing Cillian as Scarerow makes me think that you both should watch " Peaky (fookin) Blinders" together would be great its a slow burn but would be an awesome watch.
lol. I cant say Peaky Blinders without the "fookin," either. I thought I was the only one!
I almost need subtitles watching these guys..it's required for peaky blinders.
About Hannah's opinion about other Joker movie, I totally get it. Probably it is because Joker here is the villain, Phoenix's Joker is primarily a victim. This one is a bit all over the place (Just like Christopher Nolan's every other movie) Other Joker movie is more established and grounded. All about the taste.
Phoenix's Joker isn't really DC comics Joker though. Everyone keeps saying that but that movie throw in a few names from the comics (Wayne, Arkham Asylum,...) because of they didn't fare less people would have seen it. Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is based on Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, nothing from comics other than a few names. Phoenix's movie is about a man struggling with mental and emotional health and while living in a toxic society that fosters those issues. If they hadn't used a the few comics names than that movie would have still been a phenomenal film but an underappreciated cult classic similar to Requiem for a Dream, which is also about it mental and emotional health issues and substance abuse to deal with it.
Hannah becoming unnerved while Ash is cracking up... best reaction video ever!! 😆
You guys should definetely watch Heat (1995) from Micheal Mann which had a big influence on The Dark Knight et Nolan's movies in general.
I'm predicting this is going to be one of your best reactions, to date. Also, I can't wait to see your reaction to 'Scarface!' I think you guys would enjoy 'Innerspace' quite a bit. It's funny, imaginative, and suspenseful. 'Dark City' is another one that warrants consideration, as many have (in hindsight) labeled it as a prelude to 'The Matrix.' You would have an absolute blast with 'BlacKkKlansman.' I realize I'm not a patron, but anytime you want a recommendation, I'm here.
@@saewha Well, you had to expect some inconveniences because of TH-cam and their ridiculous censorship policies.
Great reaction you both to arguably the greatest superhero movie.
Ash going Jedi on Hannah and waving his hand: "This is the perfect movie you were looking for!" 🤣
loved your passion about this movie Ash!
Its almost impossible to see Heath under the makeup. Even when you look for it, and considering he wasnt American, the voice, the acting, it was all perfect. What a masterpiece
Ha, Heath Ledger was not a Brit he was Australian..
@@karlfleming7182 Best portrayal of the Joker , hell, one of the best performances on the big screen ever
, period ! Iconic performance by Health Ledger !
A film that very few channels have done is a film that people might not "get" on a first watch but if you want symbolisms if you know what its about it is a really insane film and is filled with symbolisms. The name is "I'm thinking of ending things" and its hard to say what it is without spoiling but its (i guess horror/dramatic film) about a woman visiting her boyfriends parents in the contry side..... kinda.... kinda
Will say though it is like marmite in terms of if you understand what the film is actually about. If you don't get it, probs won't like it, if you understand the actual (I guess) twist it makes you weep.
