- OSCAR WINNER:Best Supporting Actor - Heath LedgerBest SoundChristian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in The Dark Knight. The film reunites Bale with Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman has been making headway against local crime -- until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (the late Heath Ledger in his Oscar-winning role) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace -- Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet -- he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.

The trailer that made us all feel like a bunch of idiots for doubting Heath Ledger.
+LookitsLookas When I heard "Let's put a smile on that face" with that insanely maniacal laugh and realized I got CHILLS rather than douche chills I knew I was in for a pretty amazing Batman film.
+LookitsLookas Only the people who review movies BEFORE watching them.
+LookitsLookas People were still hating even at this point. Always do, until the movie's out.
+LookitsLookas I knew he had it in him. In 2005, he did two movies "The Lords of Dogtown" and "The Brothers Grimm" that made me see he was able to slip into characters that were very different. He was also really good in a less showy role in 2001's "Monster's Ball."
and he won an Oscar to shut all the haters up too. Heath's performance was brilliance and can never be done again. the dark knight was a very sad movie not because of what Batman, but because we all knew that this is Heath's last and greatest performance.
This trailer doesn't give you any idea about the level of epicness you're really in for .
Sreehari Namikaze Which is saying a lot because it's a fucking sick trailer
"Epic" is an understatement for this film
+Sreehari Namikaze For true !
Yes and that's why I don't like that Warner put a lot of spoilers in the second trailer of BvS, the whole plot is there. The Nolan trilogy remains amazing
N that's exactly makes this one of the best trailers ever. It's amazing and sets the film with out spoiling or revealing too much. I still remember the feeling first time seeing this trailer almost as much as actually going to it on the midnight release. Just amazing movie AND an amazing superhero movie. And then of course Heath Ledgers performance. You can't take you eye off him every time he's there. Don't know which is more surprising, him making the movie the way what he is or the fact that everyone else around him still hold there own. There's some all-time great actors in this movie and Leadger stands right with them. Funny I thought the same thing most everyone did when he was cast as the Joker...then I saw that first photo of him with the scars and I was instantly excited for it but not many expected it to be this great, as a movie, a sequel, and the Joker portrayal. Heath Ledger RIP....
A decade later, still the best superhero/comic book movie ever
Not only that, one of the best movies ever made.
What about the watchmen?? So good
"You've changed things, forever. There's no going back."
This line has so much more meaning seeing the effect this film had on the industry
Oh dude I can't think of a movie that had as big ripple effects as the Dark Knight since 2008...
Maybe Guardians of the Galaxy for giving us the stupid 'whacky outcasts stuck in the 80s' vibe but TDK ripples can still be vaguely felt even today
@@ChellyBean 100%
They actually changed the Oscar Best Film category to include 10 pics instead of 5.
Fifteen years later and it still gives me goosebumps
i can feel the same hype that I had 8 years ago! epic movie
Jojo717 Absolutely. I saw this in IMAX two times. Penultimate theater experience.
Definitely one of my top 5 movie theater experiences of my life, if not the best. I was 13.
Today i watched it for the first time since 2008. It felt very weird but great at the same time.
hi
definetly the best super hero movie ever made..
sorry marvel :(
No Green Lantern, Iron Man 2, Catwoman, Batman and Robin, and Fantastic Four were way better!
Hey, guess what!
They were not :/.
You do realise that I was joking?
+James hey hey hey, lets leave Iron Man 2 out of this! It had some redeeming features, Mickey Rourke was awesome for what it was
Fuck Marvel It Sucks Ass
I told my friends super hero movies were stupid... then I watched this
It's not a superhero movie, so don't worry.
Lorenzo H It is and i will argue that to death.
DeAth GaMing Is has maybe 30-40 minutes of actual Batmanning, how is it a superhero movie? It's a crime drama/thriller. For most of the movie it's Batman trying to figure out the Joker and his plans, not actual fighting like movies such as The Avengers.
ya..exactly it is not a superhero movie..it is a supervillain movie...jokes apart!!but ..there are no fighting scenes like other movies do..purely mind games of the Joker... He is meant to be like that...it is a complete dark film based on Joker's mentality and batman understanding him and trying to stop him but actually losing in the end..!!..i dont think it is a superhero movie just because we have one in the film..!!
This is miles better than just an “ordinary superhero movie”
1:55 to this day over a decade later, that laughter still sends chills through my body. Heath Ledger played an incredible role RIP.
Do you know what he says before he laughs? I don't understand very well
@@jonatanlozano3882
"Let's put a smile on that face!"
That laugh at 37 seconds... Jesus. Still as electrifying today as it was when the trailer landed in early '08
lobster800 That still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it...even when he speaks, he doesn't sound at all compared to how he usually spoke.
Guess that method acting and locking himself in a shady motel for weeks while trying to get in the right mindframe, working on that sinister, maniacal laugh which resembles a sadistic, psychopathic, lunatic ... as well as the way Joker would speak, and adjusting mennerisms and body language, the ticks and OCD he was exhibiting while licking his scars...he got everything down right
1:55
lobster800 late '07*
@Milestonecomics it's in the movie when Bruce see him in tv when the joker kill the fake batman
Two laughs mixed together
Let me say a few things if I may:
1) Christopher Nolan directed the shit out of this movie
2) Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan wrote the shit out of this movie
3) Christian Bale gives another legendary performance of the Batman. A serious one.
4) Probably the most important: Heath Ledger acted the shit out of this character! His acting in this movie will always give you the same feeling you feel every time on Christmas morning - so many chills and saying “oh shit!” A memorable one it shall and will be forever! Oscar well deserved!
Christopher Nolan didn't write the movie. That honor belongs to his very talented brother, Jonathan Nolan
Alex I gave credit to Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan since they both wrote the screenplay. But I agree, Jonathan is insanely talented like his brother.
Shan Aslam well said... For me, this is the greatest film ever and Ledger's acting performance as Joker is the greatest Ive seen in my lifetime.
I love seeing Jonathon nolan's name mentioned because he really was an intregal part of getting this iconic movie to where it needed to go. Christopher nolan is obviously an unprecedented talent when it comes to getting a film from script to screen but Jonathan is a big part of getting those words to paper and making sure that him and Chris got them off the page and onto the camera the right way
Shan Aslam even tho I loved him as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, I will forever remember Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman!
The start of the movie with the bank robbery and the subsequent Joker revelation is a work of art. The best openning of any movie i've ever seen.
10 years later and still unbeatable. That's good filmmaking.
the best comic book movie off all time and in my opinion the best on screen villain ever.
Agreed!.
HOLD UP! T1000 is right up there with him!
oooh shit, yeah 4gt about that
Hal 9000 is better
+Dziga Vértov Vértov who dat??
What's so beautiful about this movie is that despite the fact you're watching a grown man in a bat suit fighting criminals, the director lets you enter the realistic world of a chaotic city. The Joker exploits the errors in even our current society (how even the most good of people are corruptable, like how Harvey Dent turned against his people and how the Batman himself had to break his rule and kill Dent). One line in movie history I will NEVER forget is when the Joker asks, "How many of your friends have I killed? [...] You see, in their last moments people show you who they really are. So in a way, I knew your friends better than you ever did." This is true. We would expect order but when everything is metaphorically falling down.. Who follows rules? If a crazed killer is chasing your vehicle, are you going to stop for that red light? Or if a building is collapsing, are the elderly and disabled going to escape first (just for social manners)? No. And this emotional transition can be seen in the people of Gotham through-out the movie. When the movie begins the police officers allow meetings with the Batman but later in the movie they grow selfish and blame Batman for not revealing his identity. Why? Because they are being threatened with their life for it. Otherwise the people of Gotham would happily let a normal citizen beat people to a pulp (people who they believe deserve it, although there is no official, legal justice in the matter).
All in all, The Dark Knight is an action-packed, thrilling and interesting movie. While at the same time, it is incredibly and beautifully dark and depressing.
God, I love this movie :P
MrMoustacheMan This was so beautiful to read, also one of my all time favourites too :).
No not true not everyone's like that I speak for the people like me and Batman... "What were you trying to prove? That deep down everyone's like you? You're alone!" But a best lines are when Joker is being interrogated by batman
Just read this. Never read such an amazing comment, I'm so used to people commenting first and who is watching this in 2016?, and who is watching this after bvs?. This is already my favorite film of all time and now I love it even more because of your comment. I cant say I have a favorite line from this movie because every line is perfect. But I do really love the hospital scene , interrogation scene, madness is like gravity scene, two holding Gordons son at gunpoint, and my favorite batman going to rescue Rachael and Harvey and also like 30 other scenes lol.
The sympathy he made me feel the first time he tells how he get his scars but in the second story i though "what and asshole" and then made me smile because i realize that was fooled! hahaha. Best villain by far!
Wow. Probably the best comment I have ever read on youtube
I remember seeing this trailer on TV and that laugh at 0:39 completely change the vibe of what everyone was expecting of this movie. Instantly realized this was going to be something special.
His laugh is legendary
Came back from watching Matt Reeve’s The Batman. Excellent movie. But still, it doesn’t beat this. How will anyone ever top this movie, is beyond me.
Technically The Batman is a better movie as far as Batman is concerned than The Dark Knight
@@RM-qj8csimo the batman is a better "batman" movie but TDK is a better movie that has batman in it.
We can't say. Sure, The Dark Knight was a blockbuster and it's still my favorite Batman live action film, but The Batman(2022) managed to become my 2nd favorite. Who knows if the sequel manages to be better than The Dark Knight? The reason I say this is because in both The Dark Knight and The Batman, there was a casting that was mildly looked down by the fans. In the Dark Knight it was for Heath Ledger, in The Batman for Robert Pattinson, and both Ledger and Pattinson delivered big time
Matt Reeves’ Batman was a campy movie pretending to be like “Seven”. Wasn’t nearly as deep as people think. The Dark Knight is in a class by itself and can’t be topped.
0:30 this was the moment, in 2008, that the critics who thought lowly against ledger began doubting themselves!
Deffo. And if not by 0.40 they knew they were wrong at the end of the trailer
I was in love with the laugh, but at 00:34 his make up definitely conviced me I was gonna be great.
@@kmendiant49 0:32
9 years ago I saw this trailer, and even today it still gives me chills watching it.
Are you from the future?
+Cool Gamer Sure. if that will make your day go by better knowing that, I will go along with your question. Glad I could have been some help to you.
Tim S dude cause this movie from 2008 the year right now 2016 makes 8 yrs but you said 9
+Cool Gamer yes, I know that idiot. HOWEVER, the trailer came out a year before the movie making it 9, which is what I said in the comment, which is what this is on this TH-cam channel, the trailer for The Dark Knight.
+Cool Gamer Just to clarify on something, that wouldn't make me from the future, that would make me bad at math which isn't the case, however you have displayed you're awful at reading. Now smack yourself and apologize to Daddy for wasting my time.
1:55 is the best sadistic laugh in history. RIP Heath Ledger
Every scene of this movie is iconic. Every scene.
The very first scene of the trailer is the last scene from the movie. Nolan, you sly dog.
Intelligence.
and did you notice that when we see the truck flip, he says, "it's all part of the plan."
And in the film, it WAS part of the plan to get caught. Oh Nolan, you troll
Omg
@@AngyaliHow are you doing buddy?
@@caleblawrence2743 Watched Oppenheimer a few days ago in theaters. Movie of the year; it is a fantastic work of craftmanship!
I'm getting sick of people saying this movie is overrated, or that it is only good because of Heath Ledger dying, I never even heard of Ledger dying until 2013 and before that I thought The dark knight was incredible, sure an actor dying does increase it's popularity, but when the movie is that good it deserves it's popularity.
One of the best superheroe movies
+kaj kajsen when people start calling it the greatest accomplishment in cinema history you know the film praise is way too high.
the movie is overrated,its a good movie but its no masterpiece , i can't stop laughing when people say that ledger gave the best performance of all-time or that the dark knight is the best movie of all-time when its not even in the top 100 ..
the movie is overrated,its a good movie but its no masterpiece , i can't stop laughing when people say that ledger gave the best performance of all-time or that the dark knight is the best movie of all-time when its not even in the top 100 ..
please stop.
One of the greatest trailers ever made. Ten years later and I’m still covered in goosebumps.
In 2023, still Nolan batman franchise still hitting hard
Nolan + Zimmer = Legendary Masterpiece
Andrew Hong By a Legendary studio (Legendary Studios)
And then there was Dunkirk... Too bad, I love these two and I really hope Nolan is going to do better in the future...
YES
They broke up. 😢
"Come on! Hit me!" Chills...
This movie was a cinematic masterpiece.
Colonel Flom Yep
Audience to Heath Ledger:"You have changed things forever. There's no going back."
That final laugh!!! My God just awesome!!! Thanks Heath!!! Rest in peace.
He was just perfect !!! Heath was amazing sweet guy who manage to turn into a crazy psycopath !!! Deserved that Oscar, best villain ever !!!
That movie was a work of art.
***** Poor Heath Ledger... He just had to go and die. Maybe he got a little too much into the role of the Joker. I guess it went towards a fanominal portrayal but I don't think it was worth his life.
I remember very vividly watching this trailer 10 years ago. I don’t know if anybody remembers, but this actually came out in December before Ledger died, and if anybody had any skepticism about his performance, this trailer shut them up almost immediately.
That shot when he says "...like me!" didn't make the cut for the final film but it's stunning. Gave me chills the first time I watched the trailer.
Same..
That was the exact moment I changed my mind about Ledger's casting. He looked nothing like I expected, and the look of him coupled with his cheery "Like me!" made me believe Ledger could actually pull this off. Then by the end of the trailer when he turns around with that hideous grin I was completely sold.
It's still one of my favorite trailers.
this trailer still gives me goosebumps
Same.
+Tracarris Wince Chris nolan is the man
same
"You got a little fight in you. I like that." "Then you're gonna love me." The take used in this trailer is so much better than the one in the actual film.
Indeed. Nor the same "hit me!" take in this trailer.
+GunFuSamurai he's saying that exact shot didn't make it to the final cut
Nah I disagree. The take in this Trailer was Good when I first saw it but it was Far Better when it was edited in the final cut of the movie itself. Remember in that scene in the movie the Joker having a hold of Rachel at the Party was so Intense with Hans Zimmer’s Joker Score and then when Rachel punches the Joker’s balls and he laughs and says “a little fight in you I like that” Batman says “Then you’re gonna Love me” with his League of Shadows disappear and then appearing out of the Blue trick. It was Far Better In the movie!
@@cameronturk4388 Exactly. I like the "HIT ME!" scene in this trailer better than in the movie, but the "Then you're gonna love me" part was better there 👌🏼...
I’ve heard that Nolan edited the voice and that Christian Bale didn’t sound that rough in person.
I watched Justice League, then watched this again to cleanse my mind. 10 years later, it's still a million times better.
1:46 I always thought they should’ve used this take of “Hit me!” than the one used in the film.
The part were he says "let's put a smile on the face and then starts hysterically laughing just sends shivers down my back. It's golden
The moment Joker looks back at Batman.......Oh My Gosh!!😱
@Heyjose He wasn’t nervous. Joker wanted Batman to hit him.
I'll never forget sitting in a movie theatre waiting to see I Am Legend and watching this trailer with my jaw on the floor. As good a movie as I Am Legend was, after me and my family left the theatre all I could talk about was wanting to see "THE DARK KNIGHT" and how good Heath Ledgers joke was gonna be. RIP.
I'll never forget it. Even as this trailer began, I thought "I'm not sure about Heath Ledger as The Joker".
And then 0:38 happened.
Then what was your thought by the last line “Let’s put a smile on that face”? Lol.
@@cameronturk4388 It was "Alright! I'm officially on board now. Looking forward to this one!" 😄👍
and at this moment ' heath haters' knew they f****d up.
Captain Obvious everyone hated on him in 2007
Captain Obvious before the movie
@@tinttiakka2028 "everyone" is a wrong word. I was 9 at that time. But i remember my brother defending Heath Ledger.
Best joker ever
Curtis Donihoo That's a fact.
DC Comics Was Founded In 1934 Mark Hamill is the best Joker voice, Heath Ledger is the best Joker PERIOD.
@@rg4517rg :
AMEN🙋
Old School Curt I prefer Joaquin Phoenix over Heath Ledger because he’s more mentally and physically demented Heath Ledger ever was.
I fell asleep during Heath Ledger’s performance. The only reason why Heath Ledger won the Academy Award because he died due to an overdose. WHAT AN OVERDOSED SCHMUCK.
Hockeytown/Broad Street Bullies #1 Fan false, Heath is the best
Who is here after watching joker teaser trailer??
As much as I love marvel I don't think they'll ever reach this level. Prove me wrong Disney
Their films such as GotG, Infinity War, Winter Soldier and, even SM: Homecoming were all great, but not even the MCU's best can match up to The Dark Knight
Hope for Endgame..🔥
They can try...and they will fail
That mysterious laugh... Showing every thread of Psychic behaviour... You know when you hear it that you're gonna winess an epic SAGA.....
They're too busy pushing political and social agendas.
this trailer brings back so many memories. I worked at burger king and counted down each day till TDK release. my workers hated me. right when I clocked in I'd say 115 days till TDK every shift until its release.
I saw the movie about 15 times in the theatre, I got high off it
+kaj kajsen the only difference being the hobbit movies were fucking awful cash cows.
That's crazy man 🙏🙏
Honestly the greatest comic book adaptation in movie history- PERIOD.
Ten years later it still 'puts a smile on my face'
I watch this trailer every month. But commenting now the first time.
Anyone here 2018 ?
Nabeel Shahbaz felt nostalgic and ended up here. 10 years later man, wow.
Yes. Amazing still...
2020 buddy.....😅👍
Way ahead of you buddy
Omg that laugh at the end !!!!! the chills it gave ne 😃😃 R.I.P Heath we love you
+Monica Hawkins the one at 00:37 gives me goosebumps
When I saw the trailer for the first time, The Joker scared the hell out of me!!
I freaked out too when I first saw the Joker but now I can't understand how I could've ever been scared of him
2024 anyone?
When is the re-release, anyone know ?
2024 right here twin
Yes sir
RIP Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008), aged 28
You will be remembered as a legend.
This is the first time I've watched this in several years and the memories are rushing back. This was a landmark event for me. From the first teaser to the closing shot at the midnight premiere, there was nothing like it. Not before, not since.
Same here
For all.
For my money the greatest movie trailer ever. Still get chills watching it.
I love how in the beginning, it sounds like Joker dissecting Batman, even maybe insulting him...0:31 Until he reassures him!
0:12
"You've changed things. Forever. There's no going back. See, to them, you're just a freak-- like me."
Sigh, wish I could erase this trailer from my memory then re-watch it to feel that thrill again.
jigsawzoubir hahaha same here. I’d do the same as for watching the movie again lol
I must have watched this trailer 50 times back in the day. I still remember the music and all of the lines.
1:10 Alfred's Dialogue during the trailer is what pumps me up especially the back and forth scenes with the Bat and Clown.
Who's here in 2018?? Heath's portrayal is timeless. The best batman movie to date, or should I say joker film. Heath Ledger, you stole the whole show and our hearts. For that, I give tribute to the true clown prince. Those other jokesters have nothing on you. You will forever be immortalized in cinema. You had the last laugh, after all.
Nice!, no Joker scenes deleted in this one.
BobTheHappiestguy can you imagine this m9vie with 80% of the Joker's scenes cut
this trailer is well made, but you have to admit the soundtrack does A LOT in conveying how epic the movie is. The music was absolutely perfect in every sense
This is one of those movies I wish I could watch for the 1st time again..
After fifteen years this is still my favorite comic book film of all time
best fucking movie ever
+Australian Oceanic Surfer You wanna repost your comment on another comment of 1925operaa stuff or whateves or do you have a broken record.Actually both
I was just looking at what comments said and I see you in 3-6 comments in a row.Like we know Heath is bae and the greatest but we dont need to know he is the greatest over and over.
***** Wow you need to cuss in your comments.I wasn't even trying to be rude,say I waste my time to follow youtube comments, at least I ain't copying and pasting the same stuff in the same comment section.On the internet people like you cuss and use fowl language, but in real life...you wouldn't say that.
Lol than he deletes all his comments on this video HA!
No jumanji is
No doubt.... THE BEST MOVIE with THE BEST PERFORMANCE..... and let's not forget... THE BEST DIRECTED... who could replace Ledger...
UnILoVeFoReVeR OK even tho ledger took the show the whole cast really did well i liked the end two with harvey and the kid
+UnILoVeFoReVeR OK Jared Leto.
Thank you Warner for letting us watch this in glorious 240p
😂
Still remember going opening night, wasn’t just a movie, it was an experience. Broke the threshold for what was possible in a comic book movie
8 years later and still more hyped from watching this trailer than Batman V superman.
This has to be the best superhero movie ever. The marvel movies are good, but this one just took it to another level.
this movie had the best marketing, best hype and biggest anticipation ever. It also gave us the best payoff of all time. I still get chills watching this trailer, because I remember the months of anticipation and interactive games that lead up to it. This was the proof that story and originality matter more now than ever.
That laugh 0:39
Greatest joker laugh ever
1:51 Let's Put A Smile On That Face
You'll have a smile on your face after watching The Dark Knight
Watched this opening night at midnight in 08. One of the best times I've ever had. The Watchmen and Terminator Salvation trailers were attached making it even more amazing.
This wasn’t a Batman movie it was a joker movie and it was legendary
Nice try Leto. This will always be my Clown Prince of Crime.
*King
J- Rich mine too
“Lets put a smile on that face”
“But this does put a smile on my face”
Did you just compare them....
What Ledger did in The Dark Knight is Probably the Greatest Acting performance in Cinematic History. It's beyond our Imagination that how can this types of acting even Exist.
Heath Ledger combined Charlie Chaplin's Demeanor , Buster Keaton's Fearlessness and Marlon Brando's Realistic Natural Method Acting all rolled into One and created his own Unique version of Acting in Joker which is completely Inventive.
Ledger also took inspiration from Francis Bacon's Paintings , Psychotic Nature of Malcolm McDowell's Alex DeLarge of Clockwork Orange as well as Voice influence from Tom Waits and made it as his own. and he went to an Extream Length for his role even more deeper than Daniel Day Lewis did for his roles, as Joker character is a Dark and Psychotic which requires the Blend of Craziness and Control yet So Depthful range where an actor just Flow into some invisible unusual frequency where he just hit that Stride where he (ledger) could do no wrong because he's Untouchable and so Free, as for him he feels like an Emperor who doesn't care how many great actors or whoever standing infront of him ( Bale , Freeman , Caine , Oldman , Eckhart ) but for Ledger they all are his Toys and He just played with his Toys. it's like flying with some Sonic speed and occasionally an actor goes to the sound barrier.. and heath has really just tapped into something here, he just tuned into some Station which we can't hear.
It's Natural Method + Unpredictable + Internal Depthful performance where even in some scenes and stills you can see the Humanity and Vulnerability of it as Despite of Joker is a Negative Character but still we all love Heath Ledger's Joker as some how we connect with his Ideology and philosophy despite of what he did is absolutely wrong as he tried to fix the world but by taking a wrong approach.
Ledger just Flow Naturally with the Rytham. And those who question him are unaware of his talent and potential as they haven't seen his earlier work like Brokeback Mountain and Monster's Ball in which he has delivered The Dark Knight Caliber of performances.
But still There exists a small yet vocal group of fandom that is convinced Heath Ledger’s Oscar win and the acclaim he received for his performance in The Dark Knight is a direct result of his death. The argument is that because of his untimely demise, his performance has been mythicised and ‘over-hyped.’
While Ledger’s death has doubtless served to propagate the legend surrounding his performance, that shouldn’t, and doesn’t, take away from the indisputable brilliance of what he accomplished with the Joker.
His premature death has meant that his work in The Dark Knight will forever remain his magnum opus and the part he will eternally be associated with. Were he alive, an actor of his calibre would have given us at least three additional notable performances by now.
In such a scenario, while the Joker might have remained his best work, it wouldn’t be the only thing people talk about when his name popped up, as is the situation now.
Having said that, his performance as the Joker is worthy of all the acclaim it has received. With the help of Christopher Nolan, Ledger developed the character from the ground up, and executed it in a way no one had done before, or indeed, has since. The interrogation scene alone is an absolute master class. Ledger nailed everything, the unique look, the idiosyncrasies and bodily ticks, the voice, the movement, facial expressions, everything.
It is one of the great exhibitions of contemporary acting, and perhaps the most exceptional performance of the 21st century, narrowly beating out Daniel Day-Lewis’ incredible work in There Will Be Blood.
Heath Ledger has left an enduring mark on the cinema landscape, and even decades from now he will be recognised for what he did - delivering a performance for the ages, and one that occupies a significant position in the pantheon of cinema’s greatest accomplishments.
His performance is not over-hyped; it is genius put to film.
Ledger was right, his movies WILL live on forever, and through them, so will he.
And Before emerging himself into the Joker Character in The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger didn't care about his Life and Family and also what kind of effect it would have on his body and Mental health because of he was so passionate for the Joker Character and he didn't care about money or his family or his life because of his Love and passion for the Art and for his work. And he has Channelise his inner demons (insomnia , Pain and exhaustion ) and his Heart breaking Break up with Michelle williams into his work. And He died Fearlessly for something he truly believes in and for his audience whom all creative artist owes to them (audience) because their (artists) work reflect and holds the mirror to the society. And Even he died but he will live forever in the heart of the millions. and I'm sure his final work as The Joker in the Dark Knight has given him the Ultimate Satisfaction as an Actor and he would have also asked himself, because of all these I'm here and this is why I'm doing all these things as an Artist.
You know your movie is good when it makes a billion dollars at the box office.
But you know when its a masterpiece when 10 years later the goddam trailer still gives goosebumps to anyone who watchs it.
Yaa I'm batman
anybody came here to cleanse themselves after suicide squad ?
yup awful movie
Not an bad movie just could've been better. Still this is my favorite batman movie and best joker
Not a bad movie? Fuck Suicide Squad the movie was a joke
John J The movie was utter garbage wtf?
I watched suidcie squad from the internet cuz I knew it was gonna suck, but I watched it cuz I had hope to see joker in it.
Even thou my first is Heath and second is Jack Nicholsons joker.
This trailer makes my day always as i watch it
Bring back Nolan and Bale! Cries after seeing BvS
This movie is 10 years old but it still feels so new. Its just timeless.
One of my all-time favorite trailers, that has stuck in my memory almost as well as the film itself. So well paced and built up. This trailer marked the moment I was officially 100% sold on this movie, and the casting of Ledger.
To every marvel fan boys
*THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY IS UNBREAKABLE*
My opinion as a Marvel fan?
Freaking true.
Anson Hartzler come on dude the trilogy is untouchable admit it
greatest movie ever made. Theme: perfect. Action: perfect. Villain: perfect. point of the movie: you can take good people and turn them evil.
The Godfather, Citizen Kane, The Shawshank Redemption and 2001 a space Odyssey are better films.
Jumanji is the greatest movie ever
+Cor Tadew I think you stole that from watchmojo
+joseph simpson (TheSimulationz) Some people may have the same opinion, but that's me
+joseph simpson (TheSimulationz) aaaaaa marklawd91 said that, yeah I talked to him we have the same tastes lol.
Ledger was insaaaaane in this movie! Unrecognizable. 10/10. We want him back as the joker! 😢
10 years later it's still the best trailer.
"I got chills their multiplying". 😊 Still the greatest comic book movie ever.
Everytime I hear that laugh or lines like
"Lets put a smile on that face"
Or
"Why so serious? "
Chills
RIP Heath Ledger
The Dark Knight 🤝 The Batman
Having a badass and intense trailer.
It’s been 10 Years 😭😭😭💕
Miss you heath ledger 🖤
Best trailer ever.
Let's put a smile on that face
Dark Knight is the GOAT movie for this reason, and this reason only - the level of hype that this movie generated prior to its release was perhaps unprecedented, mainly because Batman Begins ended up being a masterpiece in its own rite. The hype for DK built up for at least a year, with (what seemed to me anyway) "every" major brand cross promoting it (burger chains, big box retailers, etc). I remember thinking there is NO WAY any movie could live up to this hype. And sure enough, after standing in line opening weekend, it completely blew my mind.
There are definitely "better" theatrical productions/story lines/etc...but I don't think we'll ever live to see the day a movie can both generate and exceed its own hype ever again.
“Do I look like a guy with a plan?” RIP, Heath Ledger. Your Joker is iconic. Back-to-back with BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, it barely shows your range.
To all you Bane fans. He's got nothing on the JOKER.
WHALEDOGS9111 heyyyy
Oh come on. He did alright.
accept he broke Batman physically and financially
The greatest Joker.
#Ledger
That laugh at the end gives me chills all over again... R.I.P Heath.
rip heath bro one of the best performances I’ve ever seen
One of the only celebrity i'll always mourn. Not only was he was a great actor, but an aspiring movie director. He was such a dope and down to earth person if you seen his interviews and documentary. The dark knight and brokeback mountain were top tier cinema. His acting in both of those was fucking insane. In both, i was like "...is this really the pretty boy from 10 things and knight's tale?"
10 years later and this trailer still gives me chills... The build up Gorden gives while describing the Joker and not knowing who he really is sets the mood perfectly on this mysterious character. Hearing the Joker's voice and not knowing what we would be in for later on is exciting :D I remember me and abunch of friends went to see the movie in full on Joker make up, was very fun, love this film!
