LorenzoDaGamer because when u interagtr someone u break them down and joker started to break down Batman making him lock the door and beat ting him making Batman hi crazy inside which is how joker interrogated batman
LorenzoDaGamer the Joker picked him apart mentally. He made a point by saying that the Batman was just as much of a “freak” and outcast as he is. Batman knew he was right which made him react so aggressively.
Truly the most perfect joker we’ve ever seen on screen and probably will ever see tbh. I loved Joaquin Phoenix as joker aswell but they’re 2 completely different roles in my opinion so comparing them is 100% arbitrary and left to what the viewer prefers. But in my opinion Heath ledger is the real comic book joker. RIP legend 🙏
Ledger altered his appearance to fit the character, using makeup and costumes that emphasized the Joker's manic and disheveled nature. His physicality, including his body language and facial expressions, added depth to his performance.
he knows that he got batman and police on the palm of his hand, thats why he say batman got nothing to threat him or nothing to do whit all his strength, that why he was laughing.
The funnier part about it is he's about to say that he can't feel the next hit if you go for the head first and does just that before he can even finish saying it and he felt alright.
CyTheFox I know. Crazy how it’s already a little over 11 years old. I remember because I saw this in theaters on my 19th birthday. I need to watch this again.. these scene alone captivates you
@@coffeelover0876 technically thats not true, the last punch bale accidentally hit heath and he laughed like that, so bale kept going but he did almost stop. Ledger never said "let loose" it was a beautiful accident
"Leto only had 10 minutes of screen time so we can't judge him" 4 minutes of Ledger is enough to see how brilliant his performance is, 1 hour of Leto wouldn't make a difference
Leto was amazing. The script and the director are shit. What would have happened if Ledger was playing in Suicide Squad with that pointless script, no lines and no screen time? And if dark night never came out. Would ledger still be that great? No. He only has cult status because of his death and his Joker is praised because the script was good and revolved around him. He was great but let's not deify him. Leto is a great actor with better and more interesting roles than Ledger ever had. But Warner Bros fucked him up and fucked us up for expecting the Suicide Squad to be R rated and with a lot of Joker. instead they gave us a children friendly movie and cut all the Joker parts most likely because they were too inappropriate for today's disabled generic audiences. Both actors are great. One wasn't
+Alexandros Tepiskidis Ledger had a full fledged well written role. Leto had just flashes and appearances. Have to wait until Leto gets a scene like this where he can exhibit his range. sorry, should have been more clear in my last comment.
Until 2016 just ruined it for DC, Joker was played by a terrible actor, the actor that played as Flash wasn't as good as the TV show version which is Grant Gustin by the way, Ben Affleck wasn't as good as Christian Bale, and they made Lex Luthor look like a bitch that doesn't mean I hate Jesse Eisenberg, and I expected more from Aquaman
I love how the Joker’s theme starts playing when he starts getting in Batman’s head...and it keeps getting more and more intense showing who’s really in control.
Farbod Pirouz I never consciously picked up on that. His theme definitely does slooooowly weasel its way into the scene and as it grows in intensity so too does Joker's mastery of the situation. Chaos consumes Order.
raquel mayer I completely agree, his performance as a sociopath was acted so amazingly realistic that it's hard not to take it as life like. All the games he plays with batman, tapping into insecurities using the victim angle, then as batman becomes anger the joker feeds off that further by adding more lies involving people batman cares about. Just like real life narcs really. This performance will be tough to beat. Grate film
Exactly! He got the Joker's essence so perfectly. I swear in some moments of the movie, I kinda forget is a guy playing the Joker, I think IT IS THE JOKER. Heath Ledger is a legend.
Was fucking awesome. Do you know what they should have done with the Oscars? Nominated Ledger for leading actor as he practically owned the movie, and then nominated Eckhart for supporting actor. His acting was underrated, especially in the hospital.
When this piece of "cinema" was out, people whined about how it's terrible compared to old ones. That's why old generations can never judge new movies fairly. Nostalgia makes them biased and intellectually blind.
***** That's not true at all though, people recognized the brilliance of this film right from the get go. I agree to some extent about the nostalgia thing but I think truly great cinema isn't ignored
roloug95 As someone with Odyssey profile picture you're probably aware your movie had negative reviews back in 1968. Yet today it's regarded as gold standard of science fiction. Talk about unrecognized brilliance. People rarely recognize brilliance at first glance. It usually takes them few years.
@@Nani_M This is why even pure evil villains and criminals would be stuck on how to deal with this version of the Joker. There is no weakness or vulnerabilities the Joker has that they could exploit.
I think realistically you could pick almost any scene in the entire movie he's in, but I think this might be Heath's greatest. The end, especially, where he's laughing maniacally while being pummeled in the face was chilling. You truly feel like he's still in total control, even while Batman is beating the shit out of him, and he is.
3:46 That laugh always gives me chills. Heath Ledger asked Christian Bale if he could really punch him hard to make the acting more convincing, and oh boy does it pay off. The fact that it has been said 1000000 times doesn't make it less true: Heath Ledgers performance was legendary and will be remembered for generations to come. Christopher Nolan truly made a masterpiece of modern cinema and it really deserves every praise it gets!
Nathan Luz It was definitely a legendary performance by Ledger but even if it was the best actors in the world a bad director can ruin the movie. Like Justice League as an example if they had the Wonder Woman director direct it, the movie probably would have had a better chance of being a big hit.
elmertjee it really is a quality film, a social commentary , everybody did a fantastic job, Heath really showed his potential as an actor and really stands out because he had never done something like this prior to this film
Watching this doing corona outbreak. And Joker was right. Watching “civilized peoples” fighting over toilet paper really shows that people are only as good as they are allowed to be.
Introduce a little anarchy and everything turns to chaos. Was thinking the same exact thing about the whole Corona virus and what the joker preaches about society. So true.
@@Uji_Metal where is your source for that please? so far i have heard no experts talking about any viable treatments for it. You also contradict yourself. If this was working why would they both be hoarding it and OVER prescribing it and given too much away. Your comment makes no sense really.
Ledger’s portrayal is often considered the definitive version of the Joker. His performance earned him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He captured the character's chaotic nature and unpredictability, making him a memorable and chilling villain.
+Mustafa Adaglu And that is really the ONLY aspect where Affleck's Batman is superior. His Bruce Wayne was terrible and his Batman was actually what Bale's batman would be if he listened to this Joker. Someone who's entire concept of "good" has been obliterated by hardship. And for me that's what makes Bale's batman superior or at least morally stronger.
I consider the average blue collar worker to be insane, while the joker seems to be high off of the truth of the world, more sane than anyone who willingly part takes in the system
"You have NOTHING! Nothing to threaten me with all your strength!" It was at this moment that the Joker won. It took everyone else the rest of the film to realize it.
He didn't say "nothing to threaten me with all his strength" he said "You have NOTHING! nothing to threaten me with nothing to do with all your strength" Just saying not hating
This is only new information if you refuse to learn human history. Think the Germans weren't civilized before Hitler? They were one of the most cultured countries in the world. Or Japan before the rape of Nanking? People do horrible things to other people, especially when convinced they are the superiors, or acting on fear over another.
Anyone with common sense and a basic understanding of human nature will figure that out. You can get people to kill their own children when the right button is pushed. Just look at the starving people. Some will kill for a piece of bread while other people become cannibals.
@@abishek1910 allow me to explain. "Depending on the time" implies the bomb has started ticking and once it's done, it'll blow up and "he may be in one spot or several" meaning he'd have already been blown to bits
if he didnt die, the "Dark Knight Rises" movie script would have been entirely different and MUCH better. I'd like to think that the 3rd movie would have been similar to the "Dark Knight Returns" comic book. except Bane replaces the Mutant gang leader and his chaos would have unintentionally released the Joker and, like in the comic book, the Batman and Joker would have 1 final confrontation with the latter dying.
The idea that people think Heath was amazing in TDK because he passed is such a cop out. Compare just this scene alone versus Leto's performance in SS. The caliber here is of another level; it's painfully clear. My opinion of Heath's Joker is unbiased from his death, because I was one of the few people living under a rock and wasn't even aware that Heath had died until some time after I'd watched the film; but I was captivated for every second of his screen time. No doubt it's coveted much more due to his passing (naturally), but the quality of the performance is unquestionable. What seems to get past people is how much Heath invested in creating what we saw on-screen. He kept a 'Joker diary' and had music to get him fully in the mind of portraying this character; there's an interview of Eckhart talking about his experience doing the hospital scene with Heath. They improvised the entire blocking of the scene without ever saying a word out of character - the way he talks about it is akin to working with a legend. Seriously, look it up; Aaron Eckhart on Heath Ledger with Larry King. He treated this role with the intensity as if it was actually the last performance of his life...and it shows. By god does it show.
@CrimsonNerd So anikin skywalker is just dumb easy to manipulated and annoying kid who dont like sand and lose because he cant jump higher ... huh ? I except more from anikin to darth vader.
"You have nothing.. Nothing to threaten me with.. Nothing to do with all your strength." -- This line always gets me. The batman has joker in a closed room and in his hands but he is still the inferior guy and the Joker holds the upper hand even though he is locked in the police station with the batman. An excellent example of how joker exploits the only rule that batman has in his favour.
Whoever composed the soundtrack for this movie was deservingly awarded. Every time the Joker appears the sound changes into this uncomfortable buzzing sound that slowly gets higher pitched. It made the audience uneasy, it made them want to leave the theatre. It made them unable to stand the Joker's presence.
Rworld Watch the behind the scenes. Hans Zimmer, specifically, talks about how it's broken down in a lot of detail. In addition, there are other subtleties of the music that he layers with The Joker.
That laugh when Batman is beating the joker is haunting. Once in a lifetime do we get that kind of acting. RIP Heath. Joaquin is great but this joker will never be topped
Actually the Joker is right what society again? Or is joker's face the only punchline here?

Shamy Zenden Dude, I laughed my ass off. Now if I could only find it. You'd think a full blooded 'Murican wouldn't have trouble finding his ass. But, alas, I am without ass.
I prefer to think that this version of the Joker is the super sane version. He’s got everything completely figured out and no one else is on his level. Brilliant.
Fun Fact: In Arkham Asylum: a Serious House on a Serious Earth, Joker's doctor could not diagnose him with any mental illness, and eventually came to the conclusion that he is actually somehow beyond sane, coming up with the term "Super-Sanity"
Jokers final joke in the movie Joker mentioned “the society that banishes him and treats him like trash” meaning that he implied that they live in a society
@Deutscher Geist or how we all coexist only coz there r laws & would tear each other apart if there was no law & order, think of it, we only follow traffic rules coz they exist & if they didn't we wouldn't even be as organised as animals plus if a situation arrives where we have to kill parents we wouldn't even hesitate so that's how fucked up we r hence joker is right about us
+Richard Authemeb yeah he actually kind of lost it there. He was already a bit loose in the head, and then he was seriously on Meth at the same time he got so intensely into this role, he went full blown crazy after this. Im surprised he didn't actually hurt some people
I love the fact that we don't know how long joker was in that room before the scene started. How long he was sitting in the dark because I'm sure he must of felt Batman behind him.
the joker did have a plan. He told Harvey that he didn't have a plan as a way to fuck with him and in some ways to fuck with the people watching the movie too. That's the thing with the Joker, you cant tell if hes trying to really fuck with the viewers as well as the characters.
He went to the address to save Rachel but the Joker intentionally flipped the addresses so Harvey was at the location he said Rachel was at and Rachel was at Harvey's, so Batman ends up saving Harvey.
That's the point, it doesn't matter if Batman is pissed, he outplayed and broke his image of invincibility. Maybe not mentally broken but he killed Rachel so he deeply affected him mentally anyways.
even sometimes actors "miss" and actually hit the other ones. Its part of the job. Everyone knows its not "intenteded" but its cool to know it was an actual real punch haha
@@jevilz9858 I've been "there" its "funny" because of how proffesional actors are and just keep acting instead of "interrupting" the scene. I think its cool
The Joker wants to break Batman. It's brilliant because he mixes Rachel and Harvey's addresses, so whoever Batman wanted to save. THAT person would be the one to die
I can relate to joker because this is the kind of fucked up shit that I would have liked to have done to my ex girlfriend. Does it makes sense why I wanted to? definitely yes. But is it the right thing to do? No.
Elijah Williams I like the way the good guy has lost all discipline and has absolutely no self control, while the bad guy has all the restraint here. He's giving the good, civilized guy an absolute fit lmfao
I don't think he lied! I think the men switched it up by accident! The Joker says he is a man of his word! Batman choosing was important to him, which is why he tells two-face he didn't mean too kill her! But then again he is insane, true and lies mean nothing!
I can watch this scene over and over again. Very powerful, Heath's performance was pure genius. I put this movie is on my top five greatest movies of all time. Hans Zimmer did a masterful job with the score.
"I'll show you, when the chips are down, these... these civilized people? They'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve." Joker spoke the ugly truth .
Drongorius he not only spoke the truth he hit the nail on the head...regarding people, men & soldiers. And since the civilization is ruled by women now so to speak....its either conform(slave) or get the hell out of dodge until we need you.
People don't realize all he wants is chaos, what he wants is pure anarchy, all of the things he said are bullshit, but you 12 year old edgie pieces of shit should try to live in places fucked up like the joker decribes, like Africa
Compared to this joker, Jared was terrible. Such a legendary character and WB just did their own thing with him and ruined him. Now we have to deal with it throughout the DCEU
Tbh, Jared Leto has potential as joker, to create a new joker. We just didn't get enough screen time with his joker to see it. I agree though I loved this joker.
Fun fact: when the joker says “he may be in one spot or several” he is referring he could be in one piece or a million when he is blown to bits. Literally just noticed that too, so he really was telling the truth when he said that
If you think that's novel, how about how Joker gave opposite locations of Rachel and Harvey? Batman goes to where he's told Rachel is and finds Harvey instead. Again, none of this is hidden or hard to notice but 🤷
This is why the character is easy to write. The problem is actually convincing people about reality. It's relevant no matter where we live because the jokers entire character is coming from a flawed background and understanding humanities greatest flaws. His additional mental health issues push him to knowing how to trigger these behaviours. Heath ledger's joker isn't groundbreaking in writing, it's the acting that convinces us that he's right even though we all know it's true. It's essentially the difference between telling and convincing. I can tell you about climate change, but it won't mean anything unless I can convince you.
This is the greatest acting performance of all time by Heath Ledger. The greatest villain of all time no question. Just perfection that cannot be duplicated, only compared to.
Though Heath Ledger's performance is the absolute standout within this movie there is one instance in Christian Bale's performance as Bruce Wayne that really stands out to me in this scene. Right around the 3:55 mark, when The Joker proclaims "you have nothing, nothing to threaten me with, nothing to do with all your strength," Bale portrays a perfect balance of complete and utter rage with something else that we had never seen in the Batman until this point: true fear. The fear that comes with being completely helpless to the next event. Right there, Batman knows he has already lost to the Joker. Nothing he can do to him can stop him.
SAX MASTER Joker always pushes Batman to kill him. But Batman won't kill him lol. Honestly Batman is just as crazy as joker. They are like two puzzle peices that go together. Both had to have traumatic past just ened up on two different sides because of it.
Obviously, this writing is stellar. But there's a reason this dude won an Oscar, and it wasn't because he died after the greatest performance of his career. It was because of this scene. The others, as well, of course, but primarily this scene. He was so invested in this character he had Bale literally punch him "as hard as Batman would" and laughed through it.
Luke vanDillen You do realize there's such a thing as reading a comment you're posting on, right? Bale actually punched Ledger, at his request, in this scene. Not a lot of even the best method actors would do that.
Just something about that laugh at 3:48 that always gets me. Man is literally outing the jokers head through a wall and smashing him up and he doesn’t even care. All he cares about is torturing batman and watching him lose control is so satisfying and you can tell he loves it which is so crazy because if someone flipped me and out my head into the wall I would not be laughing.
You know I was watching American Psycho recently and realized Christian Bale is not only good at playing the Batman, but could probably play a damn good Joker too.
Great acting by Bale, just brilliant. Ledger is loud and scary, Bale is subtle, scary and tragic figure as Batman here. Love how he delivers ''where are they?! '' - real, raw rage, rage I've never seen before in any version of Batman. Also I love the changing light&emotions in Bale's eyes, he is acting with his eyes behind this mask. Bale WAS Batman and Bruce and his voice is great - rewatch his ''I'm Batman'' from Begins - it's perfect. And this scene here, is just amazing. Two brilliant actors feeding off each other.
I'm late i know....anyway this is Just like Benedict Cumberbatch in Dr. Strange when he tells Dr. Palmer.."YOU CARE SO MUCH, DON'T YOU!?" I go to therapy everytime I watch that scene lol

Spoilers: Joker lost in this movie.
@@VanVeldinghe did not lose. That was the entire plot twist of the ending
I think realistically you could pick almost any scene in the entire movie he's in, but I think this might be Heath's greatest. The end, especially, where he's laughing maniacally while being pummeled in the face was chilling. You truly feel like he's still in total control, even while Batman is beating the shit out of him, and he is.
"You're awful batman"
"Why's that?"
"You brought me into this room...just to beat me up"

3:46 That laugh always gives me chills. Heath Ledger asked Christian Bale if he could really punch him hard to make the acting more convincing, and oh boy does it pay off. The fact that it has been said 1000000 times doesn't make it less true: Heath Ledgers performance was legendary and will be remembered for generations to come. Christopher Nolan truly made a masterpiece of modern cinema and it really deserves every praise it gets!
Nathan Luz It was definitely a legendary performance by Ledger but even if it was the best actors in the world a bad director can ruin the movie. Like Justice League as an example if they had the Wonder Woman director direct it, the movie probably would have had a better chance of being a big hit.
Rsimms27 agreed. A bad director can ruin good acting.
I also heard that Heath Ledger asked Christian Bale to actually beat him up in this scene
Rsimms27 Okay. Nolan was not a bad director in my opinion...
elmertjee it really is a quality film, a social commentary , everybody did a fantastic job, Heath really showed his potential as an actor and really stands out because he had never done something like this prior to this film
Watching this doing corona outbreak. And Joker was right. Watching “civilized peoples” fighting over toilet paper really shows that people are only as good as they are allowed to be.
Introduce a little anarchy and everything turns to chaos. Was thinking the same exact thing about the whole Corona virus and what the joker preaches about society. So true.
Yes

@@Uji_Metal where is your source for that please? so far i have heard no experts talking about any viable treatments for it. You also contradict yourself. If this was working why would they both be hoarding it and OVER prescribing it and given too much away. Your comment makes no sense really.
Ledger’s portrayal is often considered the definitive version of the Joker. His performance earned him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He captured the character's chaotic nature and unpredictability, making him a memorable and chilling villain.
'These civilized people will eat each other'' - This man is not a psycho. He knows the truth and is being honest.
Dark Knight rises
Just because he knows the truth doesn't make him sane. He's a psycho with a warped perception of reality.
Qweefmire
Why is he insane?
テオドル He enjoys chaos, killing people and pain if that's not insane idk what is.
What's sanity when all there is, Is insanity
*FLAWLESS ACTING!*
From Ledger, yeah, I think the other guy shoulda recuperated from that bad cold first.
no, not acting. He is the Joker, there is no acting here.
+Evan Dentes Shut up.
+S0RROWS Jeez haha how did this turn negative?
+Mustafa Adaglu And that is really the ONLY aspect where Affleck's Batman is superior. His Bruce Wayne was terrible and his Batman was actually what Bale's batman would be if he listened to this Joker. Someone who's entire concept of "good" has been obliterated by hardship. And for me that's what makes Bale's batman superior or at least morally stronger.
3:47 that laugh, is one of the greatest few seconds of acting ever; gives me chills through to my core very time I hear it

@@isaiahwatkins1502 Yep.
As CinemaWins put it: "He may be insane but he's totally in control at all times"
I consider the average blue collar worker to be insane, while the joker seems to be high off of the truth of the world, more sane than anyone who willingly part takes in the system
Technically he is insane because he enjoys seeing chaos instead of preventing it.
"You have NOTHING! Nothing to threaten me with all your strength!"
It was at this moment that the Joker won. It took everyone else the rest of the film to realize it.

dude I never caught that. I just thought he meant they're constantly moving dent to shake off the police.
Heath was by far the greatest super villain actor of all time and if he didn't die it would have been amazing
wow really
He did, I never heard that, but I know he was a fan of Heath's work, he mentioned that when he won an award for There Will Be Blood.
Honest question, do you think its amazing because he died?
if he didnt die, the "Dark Knight Rises" movie script would have been entirely different and MUCH better. I'd like to think that the 3rd movie would have been similar to the "Dark Knight Returns" comic book. except Bane replaces the Mutant gang leader and his chaos would have unintentionally released the Joker and, like in the comic book, the Batman and Joker would have 1 final confrontation with the latter dying.
The idea that people think Heath was amazing in TDK because he passed is such a cop out. Compare just this scene alone versus Leto's performance in SS. The caliber here is of another level; it's painfully clear. My opinion of Heath's Joker is unbiased from his death, because I was one of the few people living under a rock and wasn't even aware that Heath had died until some time after I'd watched the film; but I was captivated for every second of his screen time. No doubt it's coveted much more due to his passing (naturally), but the quality of the performance is unquestionable.
What seems to get past people is how much Heath invested in creating what we saw on-screen. He kept a 'Joker diary' and had music to get him fully in the mind of portraying this character; there's an interview of Eckhart talking about his experience doing the hospital scene with Heath. They improvised the entire blocking of the scene without ever saying a word out of character - the way he talks about it is akin to working with a legend. Seriously, look it up; Aaron Eckhart on Heath Ledger with Larry King.
He treated this role with the intensity as if it was actually the last performance of his life...and it shows. By god does it show.

Terrifying.
What a movie and what a scene. No music really just that sound in the background building the tension and then the dialogue. Masterpiece !
"You have nothing.. Nothing to threaten me with.. Nothing to do with all your strength." -- This line always gets me. The batman has joker in a closed room and in his hands but he is still the inferior guy and the Joker holds the upper hand even though he is locked in the police station with the batman. An excellent example of how joker exploits the only rule that batman has in his favour.
CSK best
Always gets me too. It's fucking amazing.
You can see the desperation behind Batman's anger as he knows there's no time
Joker : you dont seem to understand, i'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!!!
The delivery of that line perfectly captures the essence of The Joker. This is what makes Heath’s Joker STILL the best in my book,
1:45 “you complete me”
i get chills every time, phenomenal
"Without Batman, crime has no punchline."
Tom Cruise was his great inspiration.
Joker Maguire
A better love story than Twilight?
The way he says it sounds even romantic
Whoever composed the soundtrack for this movie was deservingly awarded. Every time the Joker appears the sound changes into this uncomfortable buzzing sound that slowly gets higher pitched. It made the audience uneasy, it made them want to leave the theatre. It made them unable to stand the Joker's presence.
Rworld Hans Zimmer. One of the best composers along side John Williams- Star Wars, and Howard Shore- Lord of the Rings.
Rworld Watch the behind the scenes. Hans Zimmer, specifically, talks about how it's broken down in a lot of detail. In addition, there are other subtleties of the music that he layers with The Joker.
+Rworld I've never felt unconfortable with The Joker's presence, but it's true, I haven't noticed this sound before. Thank you!

I love the fact that we don't know how long joker was in that room before the scene started. How long he was sitting in the dark because I'm sure he must of felt Batman behind him.
A psychopath without a motive is the most dangerous one.
You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with.
But joker did have a motive
***** he wanted to trigger anarchy and chaos in Gotham by bringing out the worst in the best, in this case Harvey Dent.
the joker did have a plan. He told Harvey that he didn't have a plan as a way to fuck with him and in some ways to fuck with the people watching the movie too.
That's the thing with the Joker, you cant tell if hes trying to really fuck with the viewers as well as the characters.
Joker said it himself hes a dog chasing cars, wouldnt know what to do if he actually caught one
Heath ledger made this movie.
So did Aaron Eckhart!
Where did Batman go?
He went to the address to save Rachel but the Joker intentionally flipped the addresses so Harvey was at the location he said Rachel was at and Rachel was at Harvey's, so Batman ends up saving Harvey.
Without a doubt.
Eckhart was terrific but Ledger was the foundation of this movie; without the latter, the movie would not have been as epic as it was.
at 3:47 Joker knew that he broke him. He found which nerve to hit (Rachel)
Batman looked pissed and that you don’t wanna do
exactly, such a great shot because he knows at that point he controls Batman.
Joker didn't break batman at all he just pissed him off, batman was really considering killing him
That's the point, it doesn't matter if Batman is pissed, he outplayed and broke his image of invincibility. Maybe not mentally broken but he killed Rachel so he deeply affected him mentally anyways.
Mackenzie Mitchell and that goes against all for wat Batman stands!

How did I know that was what it was gonna be? God what an awful movie that was. I wish we could’ve seen Heath and Hardy on screen together.
LMFAO
Also 1:37
Facts.
The Joker wants to break Batman. It's brilliant because he mixes Rachel and Harvey's addresses, so whoever Batman wanted to save. THAT person would be the one to die
Elijah Williams yeah I noticed it
The Joker makes him angry so much that he can't even think about the joker would mix their adresses aswell.
I can relate to joker because this is the kind of fucked up shit that I would have liked to have done to my ex girlfriend. Does it makes sense why I wanted to? definitely yes. But is it the right thing to do? No.
Elijah Williams I like the way the good guy has lost all discipline and has absolutely no self control, while the bad guy has all the restraint here. He's giving the good, civilized guy an absolute fit lmfao
I don't think he lied! I think the men switched it up by accident! The Joker says he is a man of his word! Batman choosing was important to him, which is why he tells two-face he didn't mean too kill her! But then again he is insane, true and lies mean nothing!
I can watch this scene over and over again. Very powerful, Heath's performance was pure genius. I put this movie is on my top five greatest movies of all time. Hans Zimmer did a masterful job with the score.
thagodfath3r25 same
"It's a meme, batman"
"I'll show you, when the chips are down, these... these civilized people? They'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve."
Joker spoke the ugly truth .
Drongorius If the chips are down, couldn't they just eat the chips?
Drongorius to hipsters lke you, Anarchy & Wilderness = Truth
Drongorius he not only spoke the truth he hit the nail on the head...regarding people, men & soldiers. And since the civilization is ruled by women now so to speak....its either conform(slave) or get the hell out of dodge until we need you.
Drongorius yeah.. he's right. He's a psychopath but he's right in this. :/
People don't realize all he wants is chaos, what he wants is pure anarchy, all of the things he said are bullshit, but you 12 year old edgie pieces of shit should try to live in places fucked up like the joker decribes, like Africa
This scene makes me realize how shitty of a joker Jared Leto is.
Agreed on
Compared to this joker, Jared was terrible. Such a legendary character and WB just did their own thing with him and ruined him. Now we have to deal with it throughout the DCEU
Well I mean how can you judge based on a 20 minute appear and to a WHOL FUCKING MOVIE?
Tbh, Jared Leto has potential as joker, to create a new joker. We just didn't get enough screen time with his joker to see it. I agree though I loved this joker.
+Ashley Martinez lol kiddo you knows nothing about joker you've just knew the joker because of suicide shit nared bullshit
3:35 when the teachers ask for the borrowed pencils back
Give away that chalkboard 😂😂😂😂😂
W😂😂
“Chose between one pencil or the other”😂
Well Joker made all the pencils disappear
He did a magic trick with it and now it’s “GONE”
Fun fact: when the joker says “he may be in one spot or several” he is referring he could be in one piece or a million when he is blown to bits. Literally just noticed that too, so he really was telling the truth when he said that
Yeah that wasn’t layered, that was the only thing that could’ve meant
He also said depending on the time as in a time bomb
If you think that's novel, how about how Joker gave opposite locations of Rachel and Harvey? Batman goes to where he's told Rachel is and finds Harvey instead.
Again, none of this is hidden or hard to notice but 🤷
Why Heath Ledger's Joker is so great? He talks about real world problems, and it is relevant no matter what time we live.
This is why the character is easy to write. The problem is actually convincing people about reality. It's relevant no matter where we live because the jokers entire character is coming from a flawed background and understanding humanities greatest flaws. His additional mental health issues push him to knowing how to trigger these behaviours.
Heath ledger's joker isn't groundbreaking in writing, it's the acting that convinces us that he's right even though we all know it's true.
It's essentially the difference between telling and convincing. I can tell you about climate change, but it won't mean anything unless I can convince you.
Not relevant to me sadly.
Are you here because you've seen SUICIDE SQUAD and missed this Joker? Good....I'm not alone....
Yep
Wait ! Leto is gonna be a good joker.. Just give him time ..
I really hope so
me too

+Johnathan Rose his laugh made me laugh
Though Heath Ledger's performance is the absolute standout within this movie there is one instance in Christian Bale's performance as Bruce Wayne that really stands out to me in this scene. Right around the 3:55 mark, when The Joker proclaims "you have nothing, nothing to threaten me with, nothing to do with all your strength," Bale portrays a perfect balance of complete and utter rage with something else that we had never seen in the Batman until this point: true fear. The fear that comes with being completely helpless to the next event. Right there, Batman knows he has already lost to the Joker. Nothing he can do to him can stop him.
SAX MASTER DAMMMM
SAX MASTER
And he did lose in the end of it
SAX MASTER Joker always pushes Batman to kill him. But Batman won't kill him lol. Honestly Batman is just as crazy as joker. They are like two puzzle peices that go together. Both had to have traumatic past just ened up on two different sides because of it.
Obviously, this writing is stellar. But there's a reason this dude won an Oscar, and it wasn't because he died after the greatest performance of his career. It was because of this scene. The others, as well, of course, but primarily this scene. He was so invested in this character he had Bale literally punch him "as hard as Batman would" and laughed through it.
RandomTXDude210 You do realize that in Hollywood there's a such thing as a "fake punch", right?
Luke vanDillen You do realize there's such a thing as reading a comment you're posting on, right? Bale actually punched Ledger, at his request, in this scene. Not a lot of even the best method actors would do that.
Where did you hear that? There's so much fake shit being talked about for his performance it's hard to know what's real
Ghost227 What fake shit have you heard about his performance?
Ghost227 yeah, a punch like that would disjoint the jaw and risk serious damage to the teeth as well as head trauma. I doubt it's genuine punches.
1:52 - 2:38 everything he is saying is felt, heard and seen. Everytime I watch this, I get goosebumps...
I could never be Batman. I'd have forgotten those addresses the second I walked out that door.
This scene is absolute masterpiece!! Joker's words are more relevant today than ever!
"Look at you go ! " 😍😍
I still get chills watching this scene. I was in awe the first time I saw it in the theater.
@Stewart Watson choose between one life or the other
Just something about that laugh at 3:48 that always gets me. Man is literally outing the jokers head through a wall and smashing him up and he doesn’t even care. All he cares about is torturing batman and watching him lose control is so satisfying and you can tell he loves it which is so crazy because if someone flipped me and out my head into the wall I would not be laughing.
You know I was watching American Psycho recently and realized Christian Bale is not only good at playing the Batman, but could probably play a damn good Joker too.
I didn't really like christen bale as batman mainly because of his down syndrome voice.
+Qweefmire he's gotta hide his voice somehow.
Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it!
hahahahahahahahahhaha now thats a statement!!

Great acting by Bale, just brilliant. Ledger is loud and scary, Bale is subtle, scary and tragic figure as Batman here. Love how he delivers ''where are they?! '' - real, raw rage, rage I've never seen before in any version of Batman. Also I love the changing light&emotions in Bale's eyes, he is acting with his eyes behind this mask. Bale WAS Batman and Bruce and his voice is great - rewatch his ''I'm Batman'' from Begins - it's perfect. And this scene here, is just amazing. Two brilliant actors feeding off each other.
Bale is the best Batman ever he suits the role in every way
I'm late i know....anyway this is Just like Benedict Cumberbatch in Dr. Strange when he tells Dr. Palmer.."YOU CARE SO MUCH, DON'T YOU!?" I go to therapy everytime I watch that scene lol
