I was skeptical about Heath Ledger's Joker at first until someone explained to me the kind of direction they were going with the film. Just when I started thinking of how wrong I was is when news of his passing came up. But his role of Skip in Lords Of Dogtown is what really won me over along with The Brothers Grimm. I went to see his last film Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus in theaters as well. Truly a legend that could have outdone himself several times over.
Same here. When I first heard he was cast, I was disappointed. That pretty boy from Brokeback Mountain? But then I saw the movie and DAMN, he sure proved us all wrong. That guy put a whole new spin on the Joker we never thought possible.
Cesar was the clown Jack was the gangster Heath was the anarchist Jared was the deranged Joaquin was the traumatized Mark was the voice... All different takes to a very complex character. They all add to the levels of who Joker is.
Even for a re-upload, this still kicks ass! Thank you Minty I like hearing about Heath Ledger's performances. With out a doubt heaven is well entertained! 😇
There’s a single frame in The Killing Joke wherein the Joker looks just like Tom Waits, and that always stuck in the back of my head. So I found it very gratifying to discover that Tom was actually one of Heath’s inspirations.
I was cast in a small part in Heath’s last movie, “Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” which also featured Tom. It was surreal to hear Heath died while I was in wardrobe.
I remember going to the theater to see this. Was a bit skeptical about Heath Ledger as the Joker, since Batman is my absolute favorite of all time. Walked out raving, and singing his praises. Even tried to find a poster of the scene where he's sitting in the solitary cell when he begins to clap. Hands down, best Joker EVER.
My dude!!!!! This is the Movie I've been waiting for!!!!! Absolutely love this movie my absolute Favorite Batman movie ever!!!! Heath Ledgers Joker is amazing!!!!! The Best Joker ever!!!! Keep up the great work 👍
Batman Begins (2005) and Superman Returns (2006) should’ve led to Batman v Superman. Christian Bale and Brandon Routh were the perfect age to build the DCU for the next 2 decades.
9:09 I like the original concept design of The Joker in the 2008’s The Dark Knight better because it’s so disturbing and can actually tell how creepy the villain is. But I can understand, they went to the final design, which it is still creepy, but less disturbing. I think the main reason is sell toys. Which I can understand.
MINTY! I love your videos. May I make two suggestions. First a movie recommendation, Only Lovers Left Alive. A great modern take on the vampire movie starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston and the late Anton Yeltin. This movie is dripping with atmosphere and a hypnotizing soundtrack. Second, you should start doing video game 10 Things You Didn't Know, for example Super Mario Brothers.
Ledger was completely legendary in his performance and u can tell it's him some of the time but other times it was like the joker was real and it made the dark knight surreal best comic movie since batman 89 and the best comic book movie since still can't be matched
All time favourite Joker! I remember bursting out in tears when I heard about Heath Ledger's death. This had never happened to me before upon the death of an actor. The fact that he and I were born in the same year also contributed to this reaction from me.
Heath Ledger did an awesome job - but I mostly remember the guy in 10 Things I Hate About You, and the scene where he is singing Can't Take My Eyes Off of You...😁🤣
@@edkeaton hia amazing first movie with a 19 year d Rose Byrne that got him the job In 10 things I hate about you The insight into 90s/2000s Australia The gets better with age crime classic TWO - HANDS (1999)
While a good performance the only reason he won an Oscar and is remembered as a phenomenal performance is because he died. PERIOD until then NO ONE was saying it was best ever, which is Jack Nicholson, or Oscar worthy.
Trust me, "Rory's last kiss," fooled absolutely no one. The summer of filming Aaron Eckhart skateboarded around Chicago, and loved hitting dive bars. It was the summer of Chicago. Public Enemies was also filming. 👌🏿
👏👍 Thanks Minty! As I’d said many times; ‘ Could you ever think Without the Final Cast Picks - it could be any better or as perfect’!?! They can WRITE the Characters, but not replace the Perfect & Incredible Actors/ Actresses! God Bless. 👴🏼NoBody. And LEDGER??? 🏆🏆🏆
Christmas is coming up. This will be a perfect time to do a 10 things. You don’t know about Dr. Seuss how the Grinch stole Christmas live action Jim Carrey version.
And here I was, thinking the lip licking thing was a genius little quirk that He he threw in to make him seem more twitchy and neurotic. Lol. I remember when Brad Pitt did a similar thing for his character of Early Grace in Kalifornia (1993). I love those little touches.
Minty! Do The Chase with Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson! Grew up watching this over and over again on HBO as a kid! And I always wanted to get that red BMW!
Yep, there is no other Joker. With all these woke-puke franchise-destroying abominations, it's time to make Woke-Lefty's pics on the back of Milk-Cartons.........FUNNY AGAIN!! 😆😂🤣
I have heard through interviews that playing a "serious" Joker can drive you nuts after a while. Even Jack Nicholson said that he had to take a break after the role.
Yes Definitely A Good & Classic Movie!! Heath Ledger did a Really good Job, he Pulled it off!! He will be Missed! Good job Mr. Minty!! Keep Going Strong!! 🤑
While the Movie is Good and Ledger was an Amazing Joker, to me it’s not the Masterpiece that other say it it, I just think it’s Underrated with a Few Flaws.
I met the woman who would soon be my wife, on our first date, going to see this movie. We have been together ever since. This movie, was by far, one of my favorites. Outstanding job, by HEATH LEDGER.
I always thought thought Heath licking his lips all the time was intentional. After all Jokers mouth was cut and most likely damaged his salvatary glands thus causing drooling. So the constant licking would make sense. I guess it was just accidental perfection.
There have been great Jokers, but I've only ever seen Heath Ledger's Joker in reproductions of paintings in the Istanbul bazaars. Also T-shirts, posters and tattoos worldwide. The People speak!
The more I think about this movie the more I've come to realize Batman totally failed his mission. He gave up for eight years, and then ONLY came back later for one day just to fight Bane, who wouldn't have even been there if Batman truly saved Gotham in the first place.
Isn't this a re-upload video? I could swear seeing it before....or maybe it is my mistake. Still a great video, and an amazing video, congratulations Minty 👍👍👍🥇🎖🥳🎅☃️🏅🥇🎄❄🏆👏🤗
@@the_black_phone9001 to me, the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire movies were the best (and only good) Spider-Man movies. Amazing Spider-Man was garbage, I’m glad they didn’t make a 3rd one. And I didn’t care for Homecoming, it was too much like a kids movie
I think this movie did well because Ledger's death. I am not a new batman guy but he did a great job playing the Joker. Thanks Minty keep up the great work
Sometimes a Method Actor must be Sacrificed for the Greater Entertainment... Sorry for your luck Keith...but You Will ALWAYS Be Remembered... No go chase some cars!
Kind of thought he was going to mention that Bruce Wayne's Lambo was the model called "Murcielago" which is the Spanish word for Bat. Even his civilian car was a Batmobile. So, much for being subtle.
And.........here..................we.............................go..................................! Put a smile on that face ;), etc. The joker has the best lines.
Minty's Just Been Lookin' For an Excuse to Wear That Shirt! 😜
This is an iconic movie…
Absolutel masterpiece

Yes I remember the time well, arm chair critics completely tore the whole film concept apart
Brothers Grimm gave me nightmares as a kid lol
Crazy. Just watched this again last night and here it is. Still one of the greatest superhero films ever.
Cesar was the clown
Jack was the gangster
Heath was the anarchist
Jared was the deranged
Joaquin was the traumatized
Mark was the voice...
All different takes to a very complex character. They all add to the levels of who Joker is.
So well said
Nailed it
what was Cameron Monagan (joker from Gotham)
Amen
You just had to do it.

@@bovinejoannie9429 incredibly lucky!! Jealous! Lol. But, that's awesome. Man, those have to be amazing.

Correction. Best Joker so far. Going to be hard to beat though.
The United States Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2020.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
My man Minty loves to please his fans.Thank you Minty for doing what you do best.🙏
Wow! The licking was not a acting choice but a makeup problem? I was so convinced it was the character.
Minty has his Batman growl down pat.
Batman Begins (2005) and Superman Returns (2006) should’ve led to Batman v Superman. Christian Bale and Brandon Routh were the perfect age to build the DCU for the next 2 decades.
Yeah, instead of Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman
MASTERPIECE!!! The Dark Knight is 10 out of 10!!!
AGREED.
So many were lucky to have portrayed the Joker in various media.
I couldn’t imagine another world where someone else played the joker in this movie
You are the best. Best voice, Best toy and t- shirt collection and best taste in movies. Thx for still being here and your amazing videos. 🥰🙏
An absolute masterpiece. Heath Leger was a genius. This role earned him his final Academy Award.
Final? You make it sound like he won many oscars ehere je has only rver won the one for the one time which he of course won!
Rest in peace heath ledger. The best joker.
Think you are.miasing the word "peace"

Its always a good day when you upload a new video!
Ledger is also fantastic in A Knight's Tale
Great video,2008 was an awesome year being done with highschool,start college in fall and Dark Knight awesome movie.
For me, Heath Ledger will always be Willam Thatcher in 2001 "A Knight's Tale." Thanks to Minty for posting.....

He just needs to do Batman animated series anyway. He’s done the TMNT animated series, so he should the Batman animated tv show too

When I rank comic movies it's always The Dark Knight ... And then everything else. It's in a league of its own.
Best Alfred of all the movies & that's really saying something
Awesome “Big Popcorn Movie!”
Great video as usual Minty! I miss Heath Ledger.
I would love to get my hands on that Joker diary.
Robin Williams as Nolanverse Riddler would have been phenomenal! The things that could have been...
He would've also made a great Hugo Strange.
as much as i liked heath, i would've also loved to see what a robin williams joker would've looked like
the only reason Robin Williams even came into the picture was because they used him as a “tease” to get Jack Nicholson to accept the part

Hard to Argue that this is the best Batman movie.
