Not sure about that. Many people laugh in extreme situations. Even in great fear some just laugh. Happened to me as well during a car accident. Was sure i was gonna die, but couldnt stop laughing.
dayewneekness Bane wasn't lame , necessarily, but he did feel like an afterthought villain. He didn't have that much to do in the movie. The way he was killed off at the end was a major disappointment.
because he doesn't care about death just like other people and that he wants to be killed by batman since batman vowed that he will never kill any criminal but only arrest them for justice
he meant that since batman and joker existed, they will always be connected it continues with Leto and Ben Affleck and even animation, comics and so on. it will always be Batman Vs Joker
His point is, he is not leading this chaos to any direction or to achive anything; there is no purpose of win, nothing TO win. He wants everyone to lose, he wants suffering for the sake of suffering.
tommaspawn I don't think that would've worked. In whichever stories Harley is, that iteration of the Joker has a bit of an uncanny charm to make him likable. This Joker is more of a downright psychopath, cold and manipulative. No one really wants to get too close to him.
"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
Agreed. Some of the best supporting performances have limited screen time. Anthony Hopkins has only about 15 minutes of screen time in Silence of the Lambs and that's considered one of the best villain performances ever.
manos kritikos but the writing in this movie is also amazing and suicide squad was complete shit. Not saying Leto is better but that statment you made is just not fair to say.
this dynamic right here was perfectly done. "you truly are incorruptible aren't you? you wont kill me out of some misplaced sense of self righteousness, and I wont kill you because you're just too much fun" "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" "I think we're destined to do this forever" "Madness is like gravity, all you need is a little push" fucking nailed the joker batman dynamic. so good.
lilestfozzy there's a theory i read once that stated the joker was simply a cog in the league of shadow's over all plan, that in the end every thing he did was what the league wanted, all just to bring Gotham to it's knees
+lilestfozzy It was a stupid revelation. Did they really take Bane, a terrorist seriously? HE WAS READING FROM A LETTER ANYONE COULD HAVE WRITTEN. WHAT THE....grrr. Sorry. That scene just infuriates me.
Greendalewitch I agree. I think that scene could have been handled with a little more attention to detail for the reasons you stated. The concept or idea of Bane exposing that lie works, they just didn't construct the scene properly.
Heath Ledger was previously known for being the stud and good guy in these romantic comedies and stuff. Not to mention Brokeback mountain, which is why DC fans SERIOUSLY doubted Nolan's decision to cast him as the Joker. Not to mention Ledger NEVER played a villain before. Once the movie hit theaters, this romantic comedy stud became one of the most iconic villains in cinematic history! I wish he were still alive :(
I dont get that bullshit. Ledger exhibited tremendous acting skill in Brokeback Mountain and Monster's Ball. The fact he pulled this off the way he did is NO surprise.
+kanlk123 Not only that, because if the Joker died or lived, to him, he thinks he won either way. Batman saved him from death but the Joker still corrupted Dent. Win-win situation for Joker
+Mr Brownstone he didnt kill him deliberately, besides he was trying to save an innocent life, a childs life nonetheless. meanwhile if he killed the joker while he still can save him, then he would have broken his rule
Spencer Malley you are wrong sir... He was confirmed to be the main villain in the 3rd with riddler as the other villain... Leonardo de'caprio was supposed to play riddler
+Abdur Rafay Khan The script was said to have him wimper but its just cause he's upside down laughing it off really after all he has pulled off hes scared to be taken in i don't think so its cause he pulled off what he had intended too do in the first place turn harvey.
That is by design infact jocker hides his genius behind overt acts on insanity to cause chaos and confuse his victims and enemies always hiding his true intentions. That way by the time anybody realizes his plans it's too late they can't counter him and that is how he wins.
That laugh at 3:22 while swinging backwards is truly frightening. I wish I could act like this. I would just do the different Joker type laughs in everday situations lol
It sounds like a demon’s laugh, and his face looks like that of utter evil. It’s amazing that a human being could produce that kind of laugh without any effects put over his voice.
They diffently dident edit Heath laugh pure unbelievable acting talent that actors in Hollywood think this the best performances of all time. Everyone on set knew he doing something never before seen
The scene where he falls nearly having his last laugh meant a lot. Not that many people know, but it was the most fearless thing he has ever done. He has almost brought proof that Batman was not a hero. He thought he won. If they made him die falling, it would make more sense, showing why Batman is not the hero we deserve. Heath ledger has made a big commitment to this act. The joker really is the Agent of Chaos. Always. I still remember when I saw this in theaters, everyone gasped and was shocked when he fell, meaning that Batman nearly lost.
What really sucks is the realization that this film will never be surpassed. Never again will we experience anything this epic. Heath is sadly gone and no one can come close to his performance if in the future another batman/joker film is made. Gosh I miss 2008
Kevin R. This is why Affleck's "no shits given" Batman makes more sense. To worry about not accidentally killing criminals is silly. If it happens it happens. Occupational hazard.
In Batman Begins he didn't put him on the train, but in The Dark Knight Batman literally threw the Joker over the side of the building so it would have been literal murder.
Roy W For someone like Batman to nitpick the details like that and justify his actions by technicalities isn't befitting of his character at all. In both situations he had the opportunity to save someone from certain death. For a 'hero' to abstain from doing so over something as silly as "well I pushed this guy but the other guy was already here..." calls into question his entire moral code. The circumstance leading to Joker's fall were the consequences of his own actions, just as they were for Ra's.
Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace, brought a performance of the Joker that perfectly fit the film and its respective universe. Though, I do not believe he perfectly portrayed THE Joker. Just Nolan's Joker.
"You didn't think I would risk loosing the battle for gotham's soul, in a fist fight with you?" That is just as realistic as a comic book movie can get.
I find it interesting how in the original Tim Burton movie, Batman uses his grappling hook to kill The Joker, and in The Dark Knight, he uses it to save him
And the joker falls screaming in Tim Burton’s movie, and here he’s laughing. It kinda pisses me off when someone says the 89 movie has the REAL Batman and Joker from the comic books. No matter how cartoony the 89 movie is. This clearly shows that Nolan made his characters more accurate to the comics despite of the realism.
The chemistry between Bale's Batman and Ledger's Joke was amazing, this movie was amazing the night I saw it in theaters, and a decade later it still engulfs me. Affleck/Leto will never replicate the chemistry those two had.
The part when Joker starts falling gives me the chills... and the amazing music... so freakin intense! Thanks Hans Zimmer and really thank you Heath Ledger...
I’ve seen Heath Ledger in most of his films. His diversity, his likeness, his incredible to talent. But to this day, I watch this movie and completely forget it’s him underneath that make up. An incredible performance a very talented actor.
Joker said in the interrogation scene that in someone's final moments they show who they truly are, that's why he was laughing while he was falling to what he thought was his death. Impressive detail by Nolan.
I thought it was because the joker believed he had finally 'corrupt' batman, as he did Dent. The joker is manipulative he wanted to show that even the best of people, for example batman and Dent, could be manipulated to 'eat eachother'. Joker knows that in order to do this to batman he must force him to break his 'One rule'.. That is to kill. So in summary he was laughing because he beloved he had finally forced batman to break his one rule, thus showing even the best are corruptible. Joker is always willing to die in order to prove how corruptible everyone is. That is why early in the movie he gave Dent a gun and put it to his head.. He knows that if he makes them kill him, he has won. Just a thought..
The look of realization on Batman’s face at 2:45, when he realizes this fight right here wasn’t the grand finale, the puzzle pieces slowing connecting together, showing just how thought out the Jokers plans really are, it’s all one large cake of plots combined, the moment you think you’ve finished it you find yourself another layer deep.
“You know, when people are in their final moments they show you who they really are” - Joker Laughs maniacally as he’s seconds away from certain death.
Jack Nicholson: gave an awesome laugh for Joker Heath Ledger: gave a chilling laugh for Joker Joaquin Phoenix: gave Joker a creepy laugh. Those three guys are favs.
@@thebillsierraoscarclub The Four Jokers: Jack Nicholson = Classic Joker, Heath Ledger = Best and Iconic Joker, Joaquin Phoenix = Most Sympathetic Joker, Mark Hamill = Best Animated Joker
"You won't kill me because ... I won't kill you because ..." -> Usually this is shitty hack dialogue, because it's saying something obvious and expository, but Heath Ledger is such a good actor that it becomes a great line.
The suicidal nature of this Joker made him so much greater of a threat than any Joker who came before him. He welcomes pain and death with open arms and truly has nothing to lose.
the joker after his quote "madness is like gravity.. all it needs is a little push" starts to laugh like usual then it seems memories start popping up of how he turned. that's why it seems in the end that he starts to wimper and cry of pain from his past
Michael Dovellos Sorry, dumb guy here. But I don't believe I fully understand him either. Was he laughing because he knew that batman would save him and he had nothing to worry about, or was he really crazy and didn't care that he was going to die? And what exactly was his motive? To just watch the world burn, or show that good people can be turned bad?
thepenmen22 he laughed because hes the joker. if you dont understand him then theres something wrong with you. and he had no motive. He just did it to prove something, like in the killing joke, he tried to prove one bad day can drive the saniest man alive into lunsity.
riddler wayne Alright, thanks. I get the motive. But I still don't get why he was laughing while falling. That hasn't been answered yet. There are many reasons he could be laughing, and i'm trying to get that cleared up.
thepenmen22 Remember when he said when people are about to die they show their true colors with the "wanna know why I use a knife?" scene? well Joker thought he was about to die. So he showed his true colors. he was a pyhscio who laughed at even death. so there.
Never fully noticed how at the very end bit of him hanging there laughing his face isn't serious, or angry, he just looks sad and broken, almost sobbing instead of laughing. 3:26
The Joker brings an image of a problem child that is obsessed with fire and torturing little animals. He comes across as a grown child who is only interested in anarchy and destruction. A true psychopath.
Zeracan Thinking about the Joker's motives and personality, I doubt he was really sad or broken. He relishing how he just got to drop that sick line on Batman - actually corrupting Harvey Dent, although he didn't actually win the battle for Gotham's soul.
MrInkblots There are subtle details to suggest he was desperate, maybe even insecure, in his misanthropy. In the mob scene, when Gambol calls him a freak, his eyes glisten, suggesting irritation he sharply breaks off of his trail of thought, changing the focus of the conversation from "a guy like me" to "I know why you (the mob) are afraid to go out at night," as if to deflect the offense away from himself on to the others. When another mobster calls him crazy, he somewhat angrily say "no, I'm not" and his eyes glisten. In the interrogation scene, he tells Batman "to them, you're just a freak, like me. . . they'll cast you out, like a leper," showing that he is aware what people think of him, takes it to heart and wants to project his social alienation onto Batman. Later, when the Russian mobster calls him a freak, he says "freak" back in a strained way and briefly loses his temper, which is out of character for him. Finally, after his social experiment fails, Batman says "What were you trying to prove, that deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone." You can tell that he hit the nail on the head because Joker is clearly upset, but tries to hide it w/ some unconvincing lines like "you gotta do everything yourself," and "it's a funny, funny world we live in," before trying to change the subject to "you know how I got these scars?" The last shot we see of him as he's laughing while hanging shows facial expressions indicating discomfort and sadness, rather than sadistic glee. I think the whole agent of chaos thing was at least partially a cover. He was just a human being in the end, just like Batman.
Smiling Nihilist Very well said. The tragic thing about the Joker is that as much as he wants to dehumanize himself. In the end...he's just a person, a sad empty hurt person. As much as he tries to be this inhuman force of chaos, he can't be.
You know, when you think about all of the comic books, movies, cartoons, and even video games where the Batman and Joker are engaged in battle, the line where the joker said "I think you and I are destined to do this forever" seemed even more cryptic.
notice how when joker swings and laughs maniacally, he goes from laughing to possibly crying when the SWAT team runs there and points guns at him. he knows the game's over. that was the first time we saw joker show any emotion at all (besides anger). brilliant.
I remember seeing this scene in the theathre for the first time. Being really young back then, I remember Joker's laugh while supposedly faloing to his death shock me greatly.
I would give all my money to wipe my memory and see this in theatres, never got too. only 7 at the time and when I watched it on dvd I stopped at the interrogation scene, too freaky
When he's falling and laughing, I was on the edge of my seat it's so fucking twisted that he's laughing like that while falling to his death but at the same time I love every millisecond
@@gatika865 Phoenix gave a great performance, and great laugh, just wish he was a little more evil and sinister, he cried the whole movie and the talk show scene was awful, one giant pity party, plus how is the joker gonna be 80 years old when batman is created lol, and the joker would never say "your the only one ever nice to me" lol
I am so glad Heath Ledger won an oscar for playing the Joker he nailed it! I wished that Heath Ledger would have lived on to play in Sucide Squad along side Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn! That would have been awsome! Sad that he died so young!
Aimee Adesso This joker ain't got no time for romance. He is too busy getting in the Batman's head and fucking him up. He even says, "you complete me" to Batman in the interrogation scene. In hindsight, that would be awesome if there was another movie with this joker. But no toxic romancing with Harley Quinn. Just no!
@@shreyasingh117 In TAS where Harley Quinn was invented, Joker had no romantic feelings for Harley; she was the one who was in love. Joker just kept her around because she was a great henchman, and often he didn't care much about her at all. Suicide Squad was a flawed film no matter who was cast as Joker; but a straight up Batman film with Ledger and Robie would've been cool.
The “funny” thing is you could argue Batman breaks his one rule with Harvey in the end. He tackles Harvey to save Gordon’s son, but in doing so, Harvey falls to his death. Just another way that the Joker ultimately “won.”
I feel like the reason joker is laughing while he's falling is because he finally got batman to break his one rule by having batman drop him to his death but when batman brings him back up he gets disappointed and says "you are truly incorruptible" but that's just my thoughts on it

Nobody in their right mind would be maniacally laughing while falling headfirst from a skyscraper. Except the Joker, of course.
Not sure about that. Many people laugh in extreme situations. Even in great fear some just laugh. Happened to me as well during a car accident. Was sure i was gonna die, but couldnt stop laughing.
Crazy how he is laughing while falling... Like who the fuck does that lol
+SJMJ91 He's laughing becase he knows the batman will catch him
+Joao Ribeiro I thought he was laughing because he thought he had suceeded in corrupting Batman.
+21boomslang You got it. He was disappointed he saved him.

And that's all he wanted.

xxlCortez i bet freefalling to his death would make the joker laugh regardless but i think batman doing it was the cherry on top for him
"in their final moments...people show you who they really are" Joker falling to his death
Rocco DiMeo yes, but what does that mean? Does it just mean the joker really is crazy and enjoying all this?
MLGFearlessGamer yes.
Yea it means, it isn't afraid of death. He knows its destined and he also wanted to expose Batman for not being a hero.
"Do I really look like a guy with plan?"
Why yes, yes you do...

Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace, brought a performance of the Joker that perfectly fit the film and its respective universe. Though, I do not believe he perfectly portrayed THE Joker. Just Nolan's Joker.
Watch juaquin bro
Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker looks very good. I might say a serious contender for Ledger...
@@warvinsroom9364 and he is head to head with ledger
"You didn't think I would risk loosing the battle for gotham's soul, in a fist fight with you?" That is just as realistic as a comic book movie can get.
I find it interesting how in the original Tim Burton movie, Batman uses his grappling hook to kill The Joker, and in The Dark Knight, he uses it to save him
And the joker falls screaming in Tim Burton’s movie, and here he’s laughing. It kinda pisses me off when someone says the 89 movie has the REAL Batman and Joker from the comic books.
No matter how cartoony the 89 movie is. This clearly shows that Nolan made his characters more accurate to the comics despite of the realism.
I love how Nolan chose to shoot the Joker's last moments upside down. Speaks a lot.
“In their last moments people show who they truly are”
*Laughs maniacally while falling to his death*
The chemistry between Bale's Batman and Ledger's Joke was amazing, this movie was amazing the night I saw it in theaters, and a decade later it still engulfs me.
Affleck/Leto will never replicate the chemistry those two had.
Batman is obviously tired of Jokers shit at 2:34
I love how he's just like, "this guy is not budging."
+One of Those Human Beings You've replied to every comment on here I think.
Von She You're exaggerating.
Like he said... " You see, in their last moments people show, who they really are ". And when he falling, he was laughed like a crazy.
Joker fan: "So in a way, I know the Joker better than you ever did. Would you like to know which version is the craziest?"
the laugh gives me goosebumps everytime
1:18 killer laugh gives me shivers all the time not sure if even Mark Hamill can recreate this laugh
i doubt Mark ever could reporduce this lunacy.
Mask of the Phantasm and Batman and Superman team up so yes Mark Hamill can laugh in the face of death
3:20 this is haunting
1:17 One of the most dramatic villain defeat in history. And one of the best villain defeat.
"In their last moments, people show you who they really are"
Joker's final moments: HAHHAHAHA
1:18 Laughing as he falls to his death, knowing he’d win by having Batman break his rule.
3:21 The dark laugh right here is by far the most evil laugh ever in any movie
The Joker's weird twisted laughter at the end is so well done--amazing acting by Ledger.
"What were you trying to prove, that deep down everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone"
Fucking love that line from Bale
The part when Joker starts falling gives me the chills... and the amazing music... so freakin intense! Thanks Hans Zimmer and really thank you Heath Ledger...
No. Thanks John Newton Howard.
The laugh Joker does whilst falling deserves at least more than a million Oscars
I’ve seen Heath Ledger in most of his films. His diversity, his likeness, his incredible to talent. But to this day, I watch this movie and completely forget it’s him underneath that make up. An incredible performance a very talented actor.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
Joker said in the interrogation scene that in someone's final moments they show who they truly are, that's why he was laughing while he was falling to what he thought was his death. Impressive detail by Nolan.
I thought it was because the joker believed he had finally 'corrupt' batman, as he did Dent. The joker is manipulative he wanted to show that even the best of people, for example batman and Dent, could be manipulated to 'eat eachother'. Joker knows that in order to do this to batman he must force him to break his 'One rule'.. That is to kill.
So in summary he was laughing because he beloved he had finally forced batman to break his one rule, thus showing even the best are corruptible.
Joker is always willing to die in order to prove how corruptible everyone is. That is why early in the movie he gave Dent a gun and put it to his head.. He knows that if he makes them kill him, he has won.
Just a thought..
1:19 this is gold even near death he laughs knowing he has succed
this is some really scary acting by heath. RIP.
3:16 best laugh !
The look of realization on Batman’s face at 2:45, when he realizes this fight right here wasn’t the grand finale, the puzzle pieces slowing connecting together, showing just how thought out the Jokers plans really are, it’s all one large cake of plots combined, the moment you think you’ve finished it you find yourself another layer deep.
“You know, when people are in their final moments they show you who they really are” - Joker
Laughs maniacally as he’s seconds away from certain death.
Jack Nicholson: gave an awesome laugh for Joker
Heath Ledger: gave a chilling laugh for Joker
Joaquin Phoenix: gave Joker a creepy laugh.
Those three guys are favs.
Dont you see the laugh at the end ? Its creepier than the joaquins
1:19 Best Joker Laugh
1:16 - Wow!! That background music is really good!!! Wow, what a music!!!!
I think HL is the best actor who played the role as the Joker.
1:17 the best laugh we will ever get out if a live action joker just barely right infront of Joaquin Phoenix
3:15 The way Joker says ‘push’ before laughing somehow always cracks me up 😂😂
Sorry Phoenix, but Ledger is the best Joker ever !
No he's not well yse he is but Phoenix there's something about his face 😁😊
@@thebillsierraoscarclub The Four Jokers: Jack Nicholson = Classic Joker, Heath Ledger = Best and Iconic Joker, Joaquin Phoenix = Most Sympathetic Joker, Mark Hamill = Best Animated Joker
@@theofficialphoenixtv5765 Cesar Romero = Best Joker Mustache
Only the Joker would laugh hysterically whilst falling to his death
A good villain changes the hero’s plans. An extraordinary villain changes the hero.
"You won't kill me because ... I won't kill you because ..." -> Usually this is shitty hack dialogue, because it's saying something obvious and expository, but Heath Ledger is such a good actor that it becomes a great line.
Who’s coming here after watching joker 2019
Dave Dave me! heath is still the greatest tho.
@@taehyeonlee6141 obviously the new Joker is way better than Suicide Squad choke Joker
Joker was a great film :)
Me me me
Me
"in their last moments, people show you who they really are" well the Joker just laughed his ass off when he was about to die
I love how he’s pretty much about to get locked up for life and just laughing hysterically lol.
He escaped once, so he could escaped again. I think prison didn't scare him much.
Hearing Mr J laugh while falling was how my life has been just *laugh*
The suicidal nature of this Joker made him so much greater of a threat than any Joker who came before him.
He welcomes pain and death with open arms and truly has nothing to lose.
the joker after his quote "madness is like gravity.. all it needs is a little push" starts to laugh like usual then it seems memories start popping up of how he turned. that's why it seems in the end that he starts to wimper and cry of pain from his past
Am I the only one disturbed that while the Joker was falling to his doom, he was laughing???
You don't understand the Joker.
Michael Dovellos Sorry, dumb guy here. But I don't believe I fully understand him either.
Was he laughing because he knew that batman would save him and he had nothing to worry about, or was he really crazy and didn't care that he was going to die?
And what exactly was his motive? To just watch the world burn, or show that good people can be turned bad?
thepenmen22 he laughed because hes the joker. if you dont understand him then theres something wrong with you. and he had no motive. He just did it to prove something, like in the killing joke, he tried to prove one bad day can drive the saniest man alive into lunsity.
riddler wayne Alright, thanks. I get the motive.
But I still don't get why he was laughing while falling. That hasn't been answered yet. There are many reasons he could be laughing, and i'm trying to get that cleared up.
thepenmen22 Remember when he said when people are about to die they show their true colors with the "wanna know why I use a knife?" scene? well Joker thought he was about to die. So he showed his true colors. he was a pyhscio who laughed at even death. so there.
Never fully noticed how at the very end bit of him hanging there laughing his face isn't serious, or angry, he just looks sad and broken, almost sobbing instead of laughing. 3:26
The Joker brings an image of a problem child that is obsessed with fire and torturing little animals. He comes across as a grown child who is only interested in anarchy and destruction. A true psychopath.
Zeracan Thinking about the Joker's motives and personality, I doubt he was really sad or broken. He relishing how he just got to drop that sick line on Batman - actually corrupting Harvey Dent, although he didn't actually win the battle for Gotham's soul.
MrInkblots There are subtle details to suggest he was desperate, maybe even insecure, in his misanthropy. In the mob scene, when Gambol calls him a freak, his eyes glisten, suggesting irritation he sharply breaks off of his trail of thought, changing the focus of the conversation from "a guy like me" to "I know why you (the mob) are afraid to go out at night," as if to deflect the offense away from himself on to the others. When another mobster calls him crazy, he somewhat angrily say "no, I'm not" and his eyes glisten. In the interrogation scene, he tells Batman "to them, you're just a freak, like me. . . they'll cast you out, like a leper," showing that he is aware what people think of him, takes it to heart and wants to project his social alienation onto Batman.
Later, when the Russian mobster calls him a freak, he says "freak" back in a strained way and briefly loses his temper, which is out of character for him. Finally, after his social experiment fails, Batman says "What were you trying to prove, that deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone." You can tell that he hit the nail on the head because Joker is clearly upset, but tries to hide it w/ some unconvincing lines like "you gotta do everything yourself," and "it's a funny, funny world we live in," before trying to change the subject to "you know how I got these scars?" The last shot we see of him as he's laughing while hanging shows facial expressions indicating discomfort and sadness, rather than sadistic glee.
I think the whole agent of chaos thing was at least partially a cover. He was just a human being in the end, just like Batman.
MrInkblots yzn,mdck

Smiling Nihilist Very well said. The tragic thing about the Joker is that as much as he wants to dehumanize himself. In the end...he's just a person, a sad empty hurt person. As much as he tries to be this inhuman force of chaos, he can't be.
"Pain is the rehearsal of Death" - The Joker
You know, when you think about all of the comic books, movies, cartoons, and even video games where the Batman and Joker are engaged in battle, the line where the joker said "I think you and I are destined to do this forever" seemed even more cryptic.
You had all the sorrows. When you die you are relieved. That's what the laugh was all about while falling. He was happy to die.
notice how when joker swings and laughs maniacally, he goes from laughing to possibly crying when the SWAT team runs there and points guns at him. he knows the game's over. that was the first time we saw joker show any emotion at all (besides anger). brilliant.
I remember seeing this scene in the theathre for the first time. Being really young back then, I remember Joker's laugh while supposedly faloing to his death shock me greatly.
*falling.
I would give all my money to wipe my memory and see this in theatres, never got too. only 7 at the time and when I watched it on dvd I stopped at the interrogation scene, too freaky
He laughed cause he thought he made Batman break his own rule.
"YOUELLIVINAPADDECEILFEREVAR!!!"
I can’t even read this
"And I . . . brought him down to our level."
That should be a meme.
When he's falling and laughing, I was on the edge of my seat it's so fucking twisted that he's laughing like that while falling to his death but at the same time I love every millisecond
he did say people show there true colors right before they die earlier in teh film.
This scene is so underrated
Who’s here after the joker movie?
Needed the true joker in my life, the new one had potential but they ruined it
@@jraddd3477 your stupid must be 12 years old
Jraddd how?
@@sirupyplate3966 Naw little older than that lol
@@gatika865 Phoenix gave a great performance, and great laugh, just wish he was a little more evil and sinister, he cried the whole movie and the talk show scene was awful, one giant pity party, plus how is the joker gonna be 80 years old when batman is created lol, and the joker would never say "your the only one ever nice to me" lol
Man! What a major loss, one of the best performances in cinema history. It would've been great to see him play the Joker again.
He never wanted to win. He just desired to prove a point. Dangerous dude
@djprodigy96 he did both, he won by proving a point
Heath was incredible in this movie. The Joker's dark, disappointed visage at 1:01 when his big plan and philosophical stance failed was so well done.
I am so glad Heath Ledger won an oscar for playing the Joker he nailed it! I wished that Heath Ledger would have lived on to play in Sucide Squad along side Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn! That would have been awsome! Sad that he died so young!
Aimee Adesso This joker ain't got no time for romance. He is too busy getting in the Batman's head and fucking him up. He even says, "you complete me" to Batman in the interrogation scene.
In hindsight, that would be awesome if there was another movie with this joker. But no toxic romancing with Harley Quinn. Just no!
@@shreyasingh117 In TAS where Harley Quinn was invented, Joker had no romantic feelings for Harley; she was the one who was in love. Joker just kept her around because she was a great henchman, and often he didn't care much about her at all. Suicide Squad was a flawed film no matter who was cast as Joker; but a straight up Batman film with Ledger and Robie would've been cool.
The “funny” thing is you could argue Batman breaks his one rule with Harvey in the end. He tackles Harvey to save Gordon’s son, but in doing so, Harvey falls to his death. Just another way that the Joker ultimately “won.”
"I think you and I, are destined to do this forever." I love that line!
"Madness as you know is a lot like gravity all it takes is a little push" HAHAHA HAHAHA
I feel like the reason joker is laughing while he's falling is because he finally got batman to break his one rule by having batman drop him to his death but when batman brings him back up he gets disappointed and says "you are truly incorruptible" but that's just my thoughts on it
Yeah, thats what I actually thought.
Batman actually won the ultimate fight.
He showed he was incorruptible.
Damn... I can't take this.... I want to live in an alternate reality where Ledger is still alive and is still The Joker for all Batman movies :(
