Heath Ledger's performance was absolutely HYPNOTIC. We would catch ourselves holding our breath whenever he was on screen, he kept us on the edge of our seats for the entirety of the ride. And what a ride this was... Mind blown and speechless, can't wait to finish the trilogy! Let us know what other films we should cover on this channel!

This was one of my favorite Batman movies! Batman Begins is also a good one. I actually prefer The Batman and the more gothic style. I knew you guys were Latino I thought Puerto Rican but didn't know you were Brazilian!
They weren’t trying to make the blackmailer feel crazy, they were showing him what a stupid idea it would be to blackmail a billionaire vigilante that tracks and fights criminals
It's a great threat. "The richest and most powerful man in town secretly dresses like a bat and beats criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and you want to blackmail this guy? Have fun with that."
It’s a triple threat, his findings although right look absurd and if he threatens him and is wrong then he’s facing a billionaire and if he’s right he’s facing the literal Batman.
@@agustinmurrieta-sanchezleyva a billionaire with a team of lawyers champing at the bit for a libel or slander lawsuit who can ruin your life, or a beefed up ninja who could leave you permanently crippled. Yeah, it's cool Mr. Fox. I'll just sit at my desk and be quiet.
The thing about Heath Ledger's death has been exaggerated. No, he didn't go crazy. He would break character and skateboard in costume having fun. Jack Nicholson was misquoted. He didn't even know Heath. Heath couldn't sleep and was sick on his next movie and accidentally OD.
Thank you for dispelling this overplayed myth so I didn't have to! It's a really cool story, but come on man. A story like this can only happen in America. The guy lived a happy life and we know it
THANK YOU. Heath was a total professional on set. He did some method acting but everyone said he was a joy to work with, super respectable, and a little quiet. It bothers me so much that people think this role made him crazy. His death was a tragedy that had nothing to do with this incredible performance.
Nicholson actually did say when asked about Heath Ledger's death that "he warned him" but there was never to my knowledge any follow up to what exactly Nicholson meant when he said that. Never confirmed he spoke to Ledger about the role etc. It seems as though people just ran with that one quote and made it seem like Nicholson directly warned Ledger about playing the Joker. Maybe he did maybe he didn't. Who knows. Plus the vid of him saying when asked is a bit creepy as he is smoking a cig when asked, asked whoever asked the question to repeat it then said what he said and took another drag of his cig while a few ppl laughed in the background. smh. Regardless Ledger did a fantastic job in the role imo. RIP.
I think there’s an unhealthy perception that Heath’s death was caused by delving deep into this role. Everybody on set of the movie said that he was able to snap in and out of character on a dime, Michael Jai White said he would go from being in character to cracking jokes and telling stories the second that the cameras stopped filming. Christopher Nolan said Heath was so invested in the process of film production that he would ride in the cars that filmed the street scenes - even though Heath was never in those shots and had no intention of being in them. He just had a love for film making. Heath’s parents said that their last phone call with him ended with them warning him not to mix prescription medications to treat his stomach ache, to which he said he’d be fine and they should relax. He would overdose just a few days later, but likely due to not being well informed on the drugs he was taking to treat his stomach pains.
There’s a heartbreaking statement Chris put out after Heath’s death recounting the times that Heath would stay on set long after he was scheduled to leave just to watch how movies are made. Michael Jai White recounted something similar about Heath wanting to be in the room in full Joker wardrobe and make up for their scenes even though their coverage was shot separately, meaning Heath would get in full costume even when he knew he wouldn’t be filmed on those days. He would do so because it would provoke a better performance from the other actors when they could physically see the Joker Vs pretending he was there
Yeah, I'm really tired of those rumours how his death was "connected to the joker" and how he went crazy because of the role. And Heath was so humble as well. Always asking ppl how he was doing. He'd even ask the supportive cast, about what they thought about his voice. Heath had anxiety about every role, doubting himself. But luckily he always stuck with them. I loved hearing how he was behind the scenes, especially for the Dark Knight and Brokeback mountain. He also method acted when it came to that role. He locked himself in his room, to ger into the psyche of his character. He came up with every little movement, surprising and impressing the cast. He was so humble there as well, asking ppl there how he was doing. And he himself got emotional when he heard how his acting was making the crew cry. He also made a little change on set that basically showed a quiet way of his character showing how he loved Jake's character. He acted like a little kid as he excitedly told the script writer, Diana, "i have a surprise for you!" She saw him as a son and thought him being this excited was so cute. And she cried when she saw what he did. It was really sweet. And that change made it into the movie. I cried seeing the change too cuz it was also heartbreaking, and it makes me more emotional to know that was Heath's idea. I saw his interviews and his documentary: i am heath ledger. He seemed like a geninue, down to earth person. It makes me more upset how his dreams of being a film director was never fulfilled😢
I feel like the narrative takes away from his performance as well. People played the Joker before and since and those people are fine. His performance wasn't because the Joker is some mythical role that only few can handle as it warps your mind. It was because Heath Ledger was a phenomenal actor who did intensely dive into the character as he did all of his characters. It's easy to see his ability in some of his early movies like The Patriot or A Knight's Tale, which honestly only works because of his ability to straddle the line between camp and seriousness in that role.
@@aaronbeatdown yeah, it's pretty insulting that ppl are bascially saying "he was too fragile to handle method acting. And was so mentally unstable that he couldn't do his acting role properly." Like come on! And yeah! Other movies have already displayed his acting abilities before. And he method acted before, especially for brokeback mountain. Specifically monster's ball, which got him the brokeback mountain role. And Nolan chose Heath because of Brokeback mountain. That role brought out the best of his abilities when it comes to subtle, quiet roles. Like damn. It's also insulting that ppl gave so much hate when he was casted. It's one thing to have doubts cuz Heath never played a villain before. And the attachment to jack Nicholson's joker. But ugh, the petition to stop him from getting the role and the disgusting things that were said about him cuz he played " a gay cowboy" was ridiculous.Especially cuz you can tell everyone who had this complaint didn't watch the movie. So embarrassing and remembering that nonsense is hatecrime on my braincells.
@@Noxofspades-lh7bj What's funny is that he wasn't even method acting. He spent a lot of time nailing the look he wanted for the character, did some deep character study and had a journal for it. I've heard Michael B. Jordan talk about the exact same process getting ready for either Black Panther or Creed (I can't remember which). As stated above, he was joking and playful with everyone on set. Michael Jai White talked about people wanting to give him a wide berth for the character and said that Heath was the one that would engage them in a conversation. Said Heath was just having fun playing and that the set was probably one of the most relaxed sets he's worked on.
Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent is truly impressive acting. -------- His descent from hero to villain is intense. ------ To where he kills the driver so they all have an equal chance at death. --------- For Two-face, "It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!". ------- "You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time! But you were wrong." ------- What a next-level performance. --------- You need to check him out in "Thank You for Smoking" and "Erin Brokovich"
"Thank you for Smoking," made me notice Eckhart and made me an instant fan. He totally held his own against A-list actors like Duvall. (I do like the "Merchants of Death" concept at the steak dinner)
Thanks for acknowledging Aaron Eckhart's performance. People tend to heap praise upon Heath Ledger and fail to acknowledge his performance which helped make this movie as good as it is.
@lethaldose2000. It shows how corrupted Dent becomes. He becomes obsessed with revenge. Batman gets heads [live] on his coin flip and Dent shoots him anyway. Which means, he was going to shoot the kid no matter the result of the coin flip to “punish” Gordon. Edit: Plus, Dent gets a tails [die] on the flip to determine his own fate, and he doesn’t shoot himself.
58:48 I don't think Heath Ledger kill3d himself, I think he took sleeping pills because he had problems sleeping due to jet lag, if I remember correctly, but he mixed it with other medication he had been prescribed for other problems. He thought it would be okay, but it was a bad mix and he sadly died. People painted his death as if it was a consequence of playing the joker and getting into the character, but I think friends and family denied it. A few months ago I saw a clip from an interview with the actor who played one of the mobsters, the black guy, and he said that the whole thing about Ledger being depressed due to playing a dark character was a myth, he said that Ledger was very happy during filming. He was also doing a completely different movie (after this one) when he died, that he sadly didn't get to finish. So it seems that rumour about his depression and suicid3 was just speculation that became popular simply because it added interest to his performance.b
@@mantism.d.8363 Heath got a chest cold while filming dr Parnassus. He got perscribed many meds. And one day, he called his sister Kate about how frustrated and nervous he was about his meeting with Spielberg the next morning. He said he'll take sleeping pills. She warned that was probably not a good idea. He said he'd be fine. Like many, he thought prescribed drugs couldn't be that dangerous. It's really sad. I watched his dad's interview talking about the death and about the family's reaction. Heartbreaking stuff. And i cried A LOT when they went into more detail about his death in his documentary: I am Heath Ledger. Heath was not only a great actor, an aspiring film director but he was such a dope person. Mature, down to earth. One of the only celebrities i geninuely like as a person, not just their talent.
He had problems with insomia for a long time, was also taking several other medications including pain medications. I believe the coroner said he took a mix of them that led to his death, i dont think he took an abnormal amount just a bad mix so i wouldnt assume it was suicide.
Unfortunately that is true. When any logic based hierarchy is introduced discrepancies are introduced. However, living as a well-fed servant in a functioning society is better than living as the starving average person in a failing society.
Just gonna throw this out there. The Lamborghini Bruce drives isnt a Gallardo but its near enough identical twin, the Murciélago. Its no coincidence that the Spanish word for bat is Murciélago.
Both the 18-wheeler flip and the hospital explosion were practical. There were also many miniatures used for other scenes, and a bit of CGI (Harvey's face, for example).
@@blaster-vv8soIt wasn’t a hospital. It was an office building for Brach’s Candy. It was demolished for the movie in August 2007 and was all over the Chicago news at the time.
The hospital was actually a four-story former Brach's candy factory that was already scheduled for demolition, so it was perfect for the job 👌 fun fact about the hospital explosion is that it was never in the original script, it was Neil Corbould ( the special effects supervisor) that believed it could be done and suggested it too Nolan, who loved the idea so much that he added it to the script. The reaction by Heath and the detonater was also improvised, because he wasn't aware that there was a delay in the explosion, so he just reacted in the moment 👌 man was a genius, equally uncomfortable to watch and impossible to look away from.
Sadly this isn’t entirely true. I am the biggest Ledger fan every and thought the scene was improvised for years but it’s not. It’s one of the biggest movie myths. Ledger and the production crew all knew their was gonna be a delay in the explosion. It was put there to control the scene just in case someone messed up. Ledger did rehearse the walk a bunch of times before they destroyed the building. The reaction to the delay is all him tho! He was told to do whatever he felt Joker would do if the explosions suddenly stopped. He’s my favorite actor of all time and I really wish that the delay wasn’t supposed to happen but it was. Their are plenty of other improvised scenes in the movie that he did do, he made this movie what it is. An absolute masterpiece. We’ll never see another Joker like him, he’s the Clown Prince of Crime always!!
@@neggawattt Trust the director and stunt coordinator in interviews that can be found on TH-cam. Also if it was true it would be a huge workplace violation and none of those people would have gotten work ever again. There are police and firefighters and demolition experts on sets like this. Also the actor would never been given a real denotator
Two Face is a villain in Batman, already existed before, that's who Harvey Dent is/became. They incorporated that into the movie in this manner, beautiful.
I worked in a prison for 25 years. The Joker's scars are what the boys called a "Glasgow smile". They'd basically just cut the victim through the cheeks from ear to ear. They did it when they wanted to send a message without actually killing the guy. Of course after this movie came out they started calling it "Jokering" someone.
26:30 to answer the martial arts, if you remember in Batman Begins, Bruce trained in Ninjitsu, BUT that's not the actual style, it's actually KFM a mixed style of BJJ, Jeet Kune Do, Kali and other stuff. 36:47 The Joker didn't know it was Bruce Wayne, he wanted to see if Batman cared for anyone, if he had a weakness. Why he turned everyone on Coleman Reese, it added to the chaos and he really didn't want to know who Batman was, he know he wouldn't unmask, he just wanted more chaos, 'for them to eat each other'. He know once Rachel was gone, he was hoping it would push Batman over the edge, remove his heroic shroud. That's why he switched addresses, he wanted Harvey and Batman to lose it (the two heroes), but only Harvey did.
I'm not a big fan of superhero movies but Nolan's Batman series is the only superhero movie I've enjoyed. I might have enjoyed the Marvel movies but when they came out I was already in my 30s and my interest has shifted to more independent movies, especially European movies.
@@denniszenanywhere wow so deep, pretty crazy how you enjoyed this movie even though its riddled with plot holes and funny how the audience of those damn marvel movies are middle aged men.
Shotguns have a lot more range than depicted in a lot of pop culture. That's an easy hit at that range in the beginning. Remember, if it's 00 buck(very commom), it's nine .33 caliber pellets. Slightly smaller than a 9mm each. So even if only one or two connect, it's still lethal asf.
Great reaction guys. Its so refreshing to see people come into this fresh. As a note, its believed the Joker doesnt ever know who Batman is he just says that in the interrogation room as it was Batman than jumped after her so willingly. Looking forward to you doing Rises!
Added note. You astutely acknowledge the Chaos element. Rises is more about Fear MORE than the first one (for me personally. The antagonist made me shit my pants). No spoilers obviously. Can't wait for you to see it
When you said "She's like waiting for someone to help at 21:54"...She's actually looking off camera at the staff. It wasn't in the script that Heath was going to touch her face, and he very rarely broke character, so she was actually afraid for a small amount of time before he continued with his lines.
Batman's fighting style - - Keysi Fighting Method Developed in Spain as a practical form of street fighting where the martial artist is engaged by multiple opponents, and has to defend vital areas like their head/ neck while also attacking/ doind damage back to the opponents.
Also, the guys that choreographed it had made up this style. It’s a style that allows him to always be making a counter punch so as he punches down, he uses his elbow to come back up with another hit constantly hitting one after another… There is some video behind the scenes of them working on it.😅
Batmans fighting style is called Batman -> Comic version its a mix out of everything, he trained under many masters and some are based in reality but do not exist
I love how you start theovie leaned back and relaxed, then after the first few scenes you're leaned forward on the edge of your seat because you realize this isnt just a comic book movie its an actual masterpiece.
You two have such a great dynamic. You're slowly becoming my favourite reactors! I must recommend the animated film "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" if you want to see one of the greatest Batman stories ever told. Much love from the UK! ❤
You have no idea how meaningful your comment is to us! Life has been pretty rough for us as of late and making these videos has been a much needed form of "escapism", a cathartic release of sorts even. To know that there is at least one person out there who resonates and finds some value in what we do is beyond humbling and heart warming to both of us. Love and positivity in abundance to you! - Gabi and Caley

I wish your mom a complete & speedy recovery. You're fast becoming my favorite reviewers. I also second the recommendation for "Mask of the Phantasm ". Take care.
Firstly, I'm glad that your Mom is okay:) Ah, to watch TDK for the first time, I saw it in 2009. The number of references and ideas you guys figured out during your first watch is incredible, you guys really grasp your stuff. Personally, it took me a few watches alone to get the handful of references you guys got in your first watch! Gabriella is smart as hell. Please keep up the good work! You have got yourself a new sub!
Can confirm the truck flip was 100% practical. I was working on the set as a PA when they did it in Chicago. We blew out a bunch of windows of stores on that street lmao. My first experience working on a major film
Fun Facts Timestamps: 12:34 - Michael Jai White - a comic book by Todd McFarlane called 'Spawn'... he played that character. 27:24 - David Dastmalchian - he was in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp', and also was Polka-Dot in 'The Suicide Squad'. 52:29 - not a comic book, but Tommy Lister Jr. - he played Deebo in 'Friday', and was also the President in "The Fifth Element.
If I'm not mistaken they developed a fighting style specifically for the dark knight trilogy. Keysi fighting method. It's a heavy emphasis on elbows and defense and being able to engage multiple enemies at once
The truck WAS practical effects. And no, Joker doesn't know Batman is Bruce Wayne. He could just tell from his reaction that he has a thing for Rachel.
36:38 Joker doesn’t know Batman is Bruce. Joker says, “i thought you really were Dent. The way you threw yourself after.” Joker only thought that Dent was Batman, that’s why Joker kidnapped Rachel. Also, Heath Ledger passed away before the movie came out. It was an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
Also, even if Joker knew Bruce was Batman it honestly wouldn't make much of a difference because I don't think he'd care all that much about who is under the mask.
@@aaronbeatdown Joker has found out, I think the current comic status is he knows but like you said he doesn't really care *although* he did want to deprive him of his money to make things harder on him.
Hey Caleb and GAbi, to understand The Joker, "If I'm going to have a past, I'd prefer it to be multiple choice. It's such a crucial part of the Joker's character. He always wants you guessing. Enter the mindset of pure chaos.
I knew you guys might be from Brazil, but I was hesitant to ask! All the best vibes and wishes of quick and healthy recovery to your mother, Caley. She already survived the worst and most scareful part, hopefully everything will be alright. Sending good vibes from Georgia! Keep it up!
As a Batman fan it pains me a little that "normal peoples" dont know who Two-Face is. He is such an iconic villain in the comics! But apparently all that peoples know is Joker and maybe Catwoman.
I have never read any comics for any franchise, but even I knew who two face is, but I guess thats only because of the older batman films with two face and riddler, and poison ivy, Mr freeze, the other bane, the penguin, etc. I guess I'm too old 😂
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! I hope she has a healthy recovery. This movie is in my top 10 favorites of all time. Bruce's penthouse is the ground-level lobby of a hotel in Chicago; there's green screens outside of all the windows so they could put the Chicago skyline in later. The interrogation scene is the first scene Christian and Heath did together, Christian couldn't stop laughing in between takes because he was in awe of what Heath was doing. Also, both of them being method actors, Heath told Christian "I don't want to fake this, just hit me as hard as you can." 95% of the movie is Chicago, but the interior of the Gotham Police Dept is a building in London! Nolan always shoots there. This movie was an EXPERIENCE in theaters, let me tell you.
Heath ledger did his own makeup for Joker, and even when he wasn't filming his scenes ledger would still show up in full costume and character and help his costars with their lines. Also the 1st time Rachel's and Alfred's characters saw ledger as Joker was filming the party scene and said that ledger as Joker scared them both
Heath Ledger grabbing Maggie Gyllenhaal and getting really threatening with her at the party, that was all very spontaneously improvised on the spot without prior planning or any warning. And yes, Ms. Gyllenhaal did find it quite genuinely frightening.
Well, Ledger was dealing with a divorce and alcoholism, which led to depression. It wasn't the role that contributed. Some folks say that but there is no proof. He was already working on another film when he died. Doctor Parnassus, he was halfway finished.
It is a deceptively deep movie. Not just in terms of what the joker represents, but because of what batman represents. He is effectively the anti terror government post 911. Notice how he already had his sonar concept ready to go, he hadn't even told fox about it, prior to the joker attacking the ferries
It literally felt like the universe guided me to watch your reaction, something I literally never do. Jungian References(Literal Golden Scarab beetle) moment, integration of the shadow,Yin/Yang, Socrates - Is pious pious because god loves pious, emotional Intellectual logic in a woman, And Logical empathic touch of man. Wow great review. best review yet !!
I've seen this movie so much. My favorite little detail is the fact that they gave him Detective mode/ vision. I can't remember what came first, this movie or Arkham asylum, but regardless, as a major fan of the game it was really cool to see.
Hey Gabi and Caleb, I remember when this came out. There was hype and this movie exceeded the hype by leaps and bounds. What made this movie so compelling is the Joker's use of chaos to send Gotham into a frenzy.-------- You never know what he is going to do. I mean when the joker burns the huge pile of money. -------- You know he doesn't give a fuck. He burnt his money to watch the flames flicker. What a sick twisted villian.
Let me set the record straight Heath ledger didn’t kill himself because of this role. Terry Gilliam said himself that when heath ledger would come to the set of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus In between filming of the dark knight that ledger would talk about how exciting it was filming the dark knight. Unfortunately, he was overworked. And accidentally overdose on medication and sleeping pills. So he wasn’t depressed the role of the joker. Didn’t mess up his mind. people need to know the truth.
Shotguns can shoot slugs. It is what people use in zones for deer hunting where it is excessive flat land, no trees, no hills where rifles are not allowed. Very common. Amd one setup with a fully rifled slug barrel you can shoot a deer out to 200 yards. 250 max. Ideally 150 or less
My thoughts are with your mom, praying for a speedy recovery. Soon as you mentioned that, I thought of a particular scene in this movie regarding a truck and though to myself "um...maybe not the best time to react to this movie?" Hope it wasn't too triggering. 🤷♂ And yes, it was ALL practical. They really did that stunt for reals, in real time; as well as the hospital going boom. In fact, Nolan is so committed to practical effects, I jokingly say he filmed Interstellar "on location".
I don't know how long ago you guys may have actually recorded this reaction, but I sinceriously hope that your Mom's recovery is going well. That sounded horrifying - please keep us updated! One of the best thing about The Dark Knight's opening heist sequence that a lot of people tend to miss is the fact that NONE of the grenades were real grenades. They would've just harmlessly blown smoke just like the one the Joker puts into the Bank Manager's mouth. So nobody in the bank was ever actually in danger -- they put a grenade in everybody's hands and pulled the pins - if a person let go of one, the grenade would have detonated... and it would be a harmless smoke grenade. The only people who were actually killed were the other bank robbers... and the Bank Manager only got shot because he was shooting at them.
I loved the Batman series by Nolan. But the one thing that always bothered me about this particular film was that there was so much violence, but no blood. Which make's me think that's how this film got a PG-13 instead of an R. Yes it bothered me that the exclusion of blood in a very violent movie to get more butts in the seats smacked of box office receipts. That being said, it's still a great movie. And RIP to Heath Leger. The best Joker.
@@usulsk I think it would have added greatly to the film. It would have shown that Super Heroes and Super villains bled just like you and me. Not Quentin Tarantino levels of excessive blood, but just shown that these people are human and bleed when shot, stabbed, or hit, just like you and me. It can be done. Mind you, the movie is still great. Performances were top notch and the story was complex but understandable. But NO blood...at all? It's just smacked of getting the younger crowd into the theaters. It was like Nolan censored his own film at the behest of the studios. Just an opinion.
@@lawrencefine5020there are 0 super villains or heroes in this movie though? Your point doesn’t even make sense, blood would’ve been so out of place and cringe
At 44:39, he doesn't say "it's bear", he said "It's fair." He uses this line specifically for Harvey because that's what mattered so much to Harvey when he did his job. That's why he's a DA, his very character is oddly enough an ongoing theme throughout the movie(and even through the trilogy I believe, don't quote me on that though) in a very interesting way. People broke the rules and they didn't get repercussions. Gordon would be working by himself if he didn't work with cops with shady and illegal. Harvey addresses him on this multiple times. "Gordon, I don't like that you've got that you've got your own special unit, and I don't like that it's full of cops I investigated at Internal Affairs.", "I almost had your rookie cold on a racketeering beat.", "If you stood up against corruption instead of doing your deal with the devil." But look at Harvey: He tried to do everything the right and just way. Even challenged the mayor on cleaning Gotham's streets(which still ticked me off. What's wrong with getting 18 months of clean streets, Gotham can barely get 10 minutes.), he lost his wife and half his identity. And so he takes on a name that was given to him long ago by crooked cops at IA(oh the irony), a time when he was just doing his job FAIRLY. He is the living proof. In this world, you really can't be decent men in an indecent time. He played by rules that never existed in this city.
Even just the semi truck flip was insane. To get permission from the city to do it, Nolan had to prove he could do it in a parking lot on the first try. Because those are real buildings on either side of it (banks, actually). Then he had to hit the mark exactly, because activating the piston at the wrong spot could rupture a sewer line or damage an underground vault (again, banks). Finally they even had a stunt driver inside the whole time. All that just for this one scene.
44:38 Even when Joker says he doesn't have any plan, he planned his every action to the minute details. When Joker's making Harvey point gun at him, if you look closely, Joker has his finger pressing the trigger that means even if Harvey had tried to shoot Joker, the gun wouldn't have fired at all. Joker just nudged Harvey towards evil and made him feel like it was Harvey himself deciding to do so. Talk about Character Development ❤🔥. Rest in Peace, Heath Ledger.
some random info for you, at 21:39 the older gentleman he starts telling the story to, is Senator Patrick Leahy., at this time, was 3rd in line of succession. He has be in 5 batman movies. He has been in more batman movies then anyone.
Heath Ledger's performance was absolutely HYPNOTIC. We would catch ourselves holding our breath whenever he was on screen, he kept us on the edge of our seats for the entirety of the ride.

2 hours really..well here we go lol are you serious!
This was one of my favorite Batman movies! Batman Begins is also a good one.
I actually prefer The Batman and the more gothic style.
I knew you guys were Latino I thought Puerto Rican but didn't know you were Brazilian!
I still can’t believe Heath ledger is gone. 😢😢😢😢
Pls finish the John wick franchise it’s great from start to finish
The Joker never knew that Bruce was Batman. He knew Batman and Rachel were involved though.
He doesn't care who's Batman in the end. He just love Batman.
Someone had to say it
Of course Joker knew who Batman was. Otherwise why would he go after Rachel?
@@unknownaccount6748 because he saw “the way he threw himself after her” joker doesn’t give a single fuck who Batman is
Actually he believed batman was Harvey Dent he literally says it
They weren’t trying to make the blackmailer feel crazy, they were showing him what a stupid idea it would be to blackmail a billionaire vigilante that tracks and fights criminals
It's a great threat. "The richest and most powerful man in town secretly dresses like a bat and beats criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and you want to blackmail this guy? Have fun with that."
It’s a triple threat, his findings although right look absurd and if he threatens him and is wrong then he’s facing a billionaire and if he’s right he’s facing the literal Batman.
@@agustinmurrieta-sanchezleyva a billionaire with a team of lawyers champing at the bit for a libel or slander lawsuit who can ruin your life, or a beefed up ninja who could leave you permanently crippled. Yeah, it's cool Mr. Fox. I'll just sit at my desk and be quiet.
@@agustinmurrieta-sanchezleyva Batman or Bateman
Yup...its kinda stupid how can you miss that?
The thing about Heath Ledger's death has been exaggerated. No, he didn't go crazy. He would break character and skateboard in costume having fun. Jack Nicholson was misquoted. He didn't even know Heath. Heath couldn't sleep and was sick on his next movie and accidentally OD.
Ikr. That stupid myth keeps popping up
It's not a myth. It's called Romanticism
Thank you for dispelling this overplayed myth so I didn't have to! It's a really cool story, but come on man. A story like this can only happen in America. The guy lived a happy life and we know it
THANK YOU. Heath was a total professional on set. He did some method acting but everyone said he was a joy to work with, super respectable, and a little quiet. It bothers me so much that people think this role made him crazy. His death was a tragedy that had nothing to do with this incredible performance.
Nicholson actually did say when asked about Heath Ledger's death that "he warned him" but there was never to my knowledge any follow up to what exactly Nicholson meant when he said that. Never confirmed he spoke to Ledger about the role etc. It seems as though people just ran with that one quote and made it seem like Nicholson directly warned Ledger about playing the Joker. Maybe he did maybe he didn't. Who knows. Plus the vid of him saying when asked is a bit creepy as he is smoking a cig when asked, asked whoever asked the question to repeat it then said what he said and took another drag of his cig while a few ppl laughed in the background. smh.
Regardless Ledger did a fantastic job in the role imo. RIP.
Heath Ledger is the GOAT of Jokers. No other actor can outperform his performance as The Joker
I think there’s an unhealthy perception that Heath’s death was caused by delving deep into this role. Everybody on set of the movie said that he was able to snap in and out of character on a dime, Michael Jai White said he would go from being in character to cracking jokes and telling stories the second that the cameras stopped filming. Christopher Nolan said Heath was so invested in the process of film production that he would ride in the cars that filmed the street scenes - even though Heath was never in those shots and had no intention of being in them. He just had a love for film making. Heath’s parents said that their last phone call with him ended with them warning him not to mix prescription medications to treat his stomach ache, to which he said he’d be fine and they should relax. He would overdose just a few days later, but likely due to not being well informed on the drugs he was taking to treat his stomach pains.
There’s a heartbreaking statement Chris put out after Heath’s death recounting the times that Heath would stay on set long after he was scheduled to leave just to watch how movies are made. Michael Jai White recounted something similar about Heath wanting to be in the room in full Joker wardrobe and make up for their scenes even though their coverage was shot separately, meaning Heath would get in full costume even when he knew he wouldn’t be filmed on those days. He would do so because it would provoke a better performance from the other actors when they could physically see the Joker Vs pretending he was there
Yeah, I'm really tired of those rumours how his death was "connected to the joker" and how he went crazy because of the role.
And Heath was so humble as well. Always asking ppl how he was doing. He'd even ask the supportive cast, about what they thought about his voice.
Heath had anxiety about every role, doubting himself. But luckily he always stuck with them. I loved hearing how he was behind the scenes, especially for the Dark Knight and Brokeback mountain. He also method acted when it came to that role. He locked himself in his room, to ger into the psyche of his character. He came up with every little movement, surprising and impressing the cast. He was so humble there as well, asking ppl there how he was doing. And he himself got emotional when he heard how his acting was making the crew cry. He also made a little change on set that basically showed a quiet way of his character showing how he loved Jake's character. He acted like a little kid as he excitedly told the script writer, Diana, "i have a surprise for you!" She saw him as a son and thought him being this excited was so cute. And she cried when she saw what he did. It was really sweet. And that change made it into the movie. I cried seeing the change too cuz it was also heartbreaking, and it makes me more emotional to know that was Heath's idea.
I saw his interviews and his documentary: i am heath ledger. He seemed like a geninue, down to earth person. It makes me more upset how his dreams of being a film director was never fulfilled😢
I feel like the narrative takes away from his performance as well. People played the Joker before and since and those people are fine. His performance wasn't because the Joker is some mythical role that only few can handle as it warps your mind. It was because Heath Ledger was a phenomenal actor who did intensely dive into the character as he did all of his characters. It's easy to see his ability in some of his early movies like The Patriot or A Knight's Tale, which honestly only works because of his ability to straddle the line between camp and seriousness in that role.
@@aaronbeatdown yeah, it's pretty insulting that ppl are bascially saying "he was too fragile to handle method acting. And was so mentally unstable that he couldn't do his acting role properly." Like come on! And yeah! Other movies have already displayed his acting abilities before. And he method acted before, especially for brokeback mountain.
Specifically monster's ball, which got him the brokeback mountain role. And Nolan chose Heath because of Brokeback mountain. That role brought out the best of his abilities when it comes to subtle, quiet roles. Like damn.
It's also insulting that ppl gave so much hate when he was casted. It's one thing to have doubts cuz Heath never played a villain before. And the attachment to jack Nicholson's joker. But ugh, the petition to stop him from getting the role and the disgusting things that were said about him cuz he played " a gay cowboy" was ridiculous.Especially cuz you can tell everyone who had this complaint didn't watch the movie. So embarrassing and remembering that nonsense is hatecrime on my braincells.
@@Noxofspades-lh7bj What's funny is that he wasn't even method acting. He spent a lot of time nailing the look he wanted for the character, did some deep character study and had a journal for it. I've heard Michael B. Jordan talk about the exact same process getting ready for either Black Panther or Creed (I can't remember which). As stated above, he was joking and playful with everyone on set. Michael Jai White talked about people wanting to give him a wide berth for the character and said that Heath was the one that would engage them in a conversation. Said Heath was just having fun playing and that the set was probably one of the most relaxed sets he's worked on.
Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent is truly impressive acting. -------- His descent from hero to villain is intense. ------ To where he kills the driver so they all have an equal chance at death. --------- For Two-face, "It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!". ------- "You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time! But you were wrong." ------- What a next-level performance. --------- You need to check him out in "Thank You for Smoking" and "Erin Brokovich"
"Thank you for Smoking," made me notice Eckhart and made me an instant fan. He totally held his own against A-list actors like Duvall. (I do like the "Merchants of Death" concept at the steak dinner)
descent*
@@syntheticvocalist-p472 i misspelled that word. Thank you. It's not letting me "Edit" right now I'll try again later.
Thanks for acknowledging Aaron Eckhart's performance. People tend to heap praise upon Heath Ledger and fail to acknowledge his performance which helped make this movie as good as it is.
@lethaldose2000. It shows how corrupted Dent becomes. He becomes obsessed with revenge. Batman gets heads [live] on his coin flip and Dent shoots him anyway. Which means, he was going to shoot the kid no matter the result of the coin flip to “punish” Gordon. Edit: Plus, Dent gets a tails [die] on the flip to determine his own fate, and he doesn’t shoot himself.
58:48 I don't think Heath Ledger kill3d himself, I think he took sleeping pills because he had problems sleeping due to jet lag, if I remember correctly, but he mixed it with other medication he had been prescribed for other problems. He thought it would be okay, but it was a bad mix and he sadly died. People painted his death as if it was a consequence of playing the joker and getting into the character, but I think friends and family denied it. A few months ago I saw a clip from an interview with the actor who played one of the mobsters, the black guy, and he said that the whole thing about Ledger being depressed due to playing a dark character was a myth, he said that Ledger was very happy during filming. He was also doing a completely different movie (after this one) when he died, that he sadly didn't get to finish. So it seems that rumour about his depression and suicid3 was just speculation that became popular simply because it added interest to his performance.b
Yea, I believe it was a mix of sleeping pills, anti-depressants and Xanax. Something along those lines.
@@mantism.d.8363 Heath got a chest cold while filming dr Parnassus. He got perscribed many meds. And one day, he called his sister Kate about how frustrated and nervous he was about his meeting with Spielberg the next morning. He said he'll take sleeping pills. She warned that was probably not a good idea. He said he'd be fine. Like many, he thought prescribed drugs couldn't be that dangerous. It's really sad. I watched his dad's interview talking about the death and about the family's reaction. Heartbreaking stuff. And i cried A LOT when they went into more detail about his death in his documentary: I am Heath Ledger.
Heath was not only a great actor, an aspiring film director but he was such a dope person. Mature, down to earth. One of the only celebrities i geninuely like as a person, not just their talent.
He had problems with insomia for a long time, was also taking several other medications including pain medications. I believe the coroner said he took a mix of them that led to his death, i dont think he took an abnormal amount just a bad mix so i wouldnt assume it was suicide.
He was super happy working on this movie.
"The thing about chaos: it's fair."
Unfortunately that is true. When any logic based hierarchy is introduced discrepancies are introduced. However, living as a well-fed servant in a functioning society is better than living as the starving average person in a failing society.
No, it's bear.
No, it's hair.
Nope. It's Fear
Just gonna throw this out there. The Lamborghini Bruce drives isnt a Gallardo but its near enough identical twin, the Murciélago. Its no coincidence that the Spanish word for bat is Murciélago.
Cool info
Hope your mom recovers well man and loved your reactions and thoughts on this film all the acting and story was amazing
Both the 18-wheeler flip and the hospital explosion were practical. There were also many miniatures used for other scenes, and a bit of CGI (Harvey's face, for example).
Yep! I was present at both
They use a real hospital that was scheduled for demolition.
@@blaster-vv8soIt wasn’t a hospital. It was an office building for Brach’s Candy. It was demolished for the movie in August 2007 and was all over the Chicago news at the time.
The fact that Heath practice to make his voice deeper and switch to high when he laughed. A true actor . May he rest in peace .
The way they light Harvey's face in the scenes where he's starting to break down. Literall foreshadowing.
First of all, my thoughts and good wishes are with you and your family. Loved the reaction to this film guys!
The hospital was actually a four-story former Brach's candy factory that was already scheduled for demolition, so it was perfect for the job 👌 fun fact about the hospital explosion is that it was never in the original script, it was Neil Corbould ( the special effects supervisor) that believed it could be done and suggested it too Nolan, who loved the idea so much that he added it to the script.
The reaction by Heath and the detonater was also improvised, because he wasn't aware that there was a delay in the explosion, so he just reacted in the moment 👌 man was a genius, equally uncomfortable to watch and impossible to look away from.
Sadly this isn’t entirely true. I am the biggest Ledger fan every and thought the scene was improvised for years but it’s not. It’s one of the biggest movie myths. Ledger and the production crew all knew their was gonna be a delay in the explosion. It was put there to control the scene just in case someone messed up. Ledger did rehearse the walk a bunch of times before they destroyed the building. The reaction to the delay is all him tho! He was told to do whatever he felt Joker would do if the explosions suddenly stopped. He’s my favorite actor of all time and I really wish that the delay wasn’t supposed to happen but it was. Their are plenty of other improvised scenes in the movie that he did do, he made this movie what it is. An absolute masterpiece. We’ll never see another Joker like him, he’s the Clown Prince of Crime always!!
You guys should react to the movie Joker!
@@marcobressi3315source: trust me bro
@@neggawattt look it up
@@neggawattt Trust the director and stunt coordinator in interviews that can be found on TH-cam. Also if it was true it would be a huge workplace violation and none of those people would have gotten work ever again. There are police and firefighters and demolition experts on sets like this. Also the actor would never been given a real denotator
Two Face is a villain in Batman, already existed before, that's who Harvey Dent is/became. They incorporated that into the movie in this manner, beautiful.
I worked in a prison for 25 years. The Joker's scars are what the boys called a "Glasgow smile". They'd basically just cut the victim through the cheeks from ear to ear. They did it when they wanted to send a message without actually killing the guy. Of course after this movie came out they started calling it "Jokering" someone.
Batman's fighting style was mostly based on Keysi, a Spanish martial art which is (as you pointed out) good for taking on multiple opponents.
26:30 to answer the martial arts, if you remember in Batman Begins, Bruce trained in Ninjitsu, BUT that's not the actual style, it's actually KFM a mixed style of BJJ, Jeet Kune Do, Kali and other stuff. 36:47 The Joker didn't know it was Bruce Wayne, he wanted to see if Batman cared for anyone, if he had a weakness. Why he turned everyone on Coleman Reese, it added to the chaos and he really didn't want to know who Batman was, he know he wouldn't unmask, he just wanted more chaos, 'for them to eat each other'. He know once Rachel was gone, he was hoping it would push Batman over the edge, remove his heroic shroud. That's why he switched addresses, he wanted Harvey and Batman to lose it (the two heroes), but only Harvey did.
"A shotgun from that distance, really?"
Yeah, unlike video games, real ones have range greater than 3 feet 😂
That demolition was practical. Happened like half an hr from where i live. It was on the news the day they did it.
Oh my God .. every 2 mins .. so in total 100+ omg 😂
Nice. The single greatest comic book movie of all time. Heath Ledger's Oscar winning performance still makes me cry, he's so good.
I'm not a big fan of superhero movies but Nolan's Batman series is the only superhero movie I've enjoyed. I might have enjoyed the Marvel movies but when they came out I was already in my 30s and my interest has shifted to more independent movies, especially European movies.
The only other superhero movie I put anywhere close to this( for me) is Logan.
@@denniszenanywhere wow so deep, pretty crazy how you enjoyed this movie even though its riddled with plot holes and funny how the audience of those damn marvel movies are middle aged men.
@@matthewcervantes5270really thqt generic tripe
I love how long and thorough your reviews are.
Health Ledger did not take his own life. His death was a result of complications due to some medication overdose. He was 28
Shotguns have a lot more range than depicted in a lot of pop culture. That's an easy hit at that range in the beginning. Remember, if it's 00 buck(very commom), it's nine .33 caliber pellets. Slightly smaller than a 9mm each. So even if only one or two connect, it's still lethal asf.
Great reaction guys. Its so refreshing to see people come into this fresh. As a note, its believed the Joker doesnt ever know who Batman is he just says that in the interrogation room as it was Batman than jumped after her so willingly. Looking forward to you doing Rises!
Added note. You astutely acknowledge the Chaos element. Rises is more about Fear MORE than the first one (for me personally. The antagonist made me shit my pants). No spoilers obviously. Can't wait for you to see it
Fun fact: The Lamborghini that Bruce drives is not a Gallardo, but in fact a Lamborghini Murcielago. Murcielago translated in Spanish means 'bat".
Probably one of the most iconic movies ever made.
When you said "She's like waiting for someone to help at 21:54"...She's actually looking off camera at the staff. It wasn't in the script that Heath was going to touch her face, and he very rarely broke character, so she was actually afraid for a small amount of time before he continued with his lines.
"The thing about chaos, it's FAIR"
No, its bear
Batman's fighting style -
- Keysi Fighting Method
Developed in Spain as a practical form of street fighting where the martial artist is engaged by multiple opponents, and has to defend vital areas like their head/ neck while also attacking/ doind damage back to the opponents.
Also, the guys that choreographed it had made up this style. It’s a style that allows him to always be making a counter punch so as he punches down, he uses his elbow to come back up with another hit constantly hitting one after another… There is some video behind the scenes of them working on it.😅
Batmans fighting style is called Batman -> Comic version
its a mix out of everything, he trained under many masters and some are based in reality but do not exist
I love how you start theovie leaned back and relaxed, then after the first few scenes you're leaned forward on the edge of your seat because you realize this isnt just a comic book movie its an actual masterpiece.
You two have such a great dynamic. You're slowly becoming my favourite reactors! I must recommend the animated film "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" if you want to see one of the greatest Batman stories ever told. Much love from the UK! ❤
You have no idea how meaningful your comment is to us!

Ah, to watch TDK for the first time, I saw it in 2009.
The number of references and ideas you guys figured out during your first watch is incredible, you guys really grasp your stuff. Personally, it took me a few watches alone to get the handful of references you guys got in your first watch! Gabriella is smart as hell. Please keep up the good work! You have got yourself a new sub!
Can confirm the truck flip was 100% practical. I was working on the set as a PA when they did it in Chicago. We blew out a bunch of windows of stores on that street lmao. My first experience working on a major film
What an awesome first experience!
I hope your mom gets well soon. Thoughts and prayers. Great reaction!
I appreciate your post reaction commentary..This is a movie I have revisited multiple times and each time I found something new
Fun Facts Timestamps:
12:34 - Michael Jai White - a comic book by Todd McFarlane called 'Spawn'... he played that character.
27:24 - David Dastmalchian - he was in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp', and also was Polka-Dot in 'The Suicide Squad'.
52:29 - not a comic book, but Tommy Lister Jr. - he played Deebo in 'Friday', and was also the President in "The Fifth Element.
And he wrestled Hulk Hogan as Zeus in the WWE!
Bro is taking notes so he can pass the dark knight exam and get a batman phd
If I'm not mistaken they developed a fighting style specifically for the dark knight trilogy. Keysi fighting method. It's a heavy emphasis on elbows and defense and being able to engage multiple enemies at once
They actually picked a building that was scheduled for demolition. So that hospital explosion was 100% real.
Thoughts are with you and your family bud. Hope mom bounces back quick! You two are great and thanks for the content
The truck WAS practical effects. And no, Joker doesn't know Batman is Bruce Wayne. He could just tell from his reaction that he has a thing for Rachel.
36:38 Joker doesn’t know Batman is Bruce. Joker says, “i thought you really were Dent. The way you threw yourself after.” Joker only thought that Dent was Batman, that’s why Joker kidnapped Rachel. Also, Heath Ledger passed away before the movie came out. It was an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
Also, even if Joker knew Bruce was Batman it honestly wouldn't make much of a difference because I don't think he'd care all that much about who is under the mask.
@@aaronbeatdown Joker has found out, I think the current comic status is he knows but like you said he doesn't really care *although* he did want to deprive him of his money to make things harder on him.
About 90% of their guesses are wrong. Never saw so many bad takes.
It is not a parade. It is the funeral for the commissioner.
Hey Caleb and GAbi, to understand The Joker, "If I'm going to have a past, I'd prefer it to be multiple choice.
It's such a crucial part of the Joker's character. He always wants you guessing. Enter the mindset of pure chaos.
I knew you guys might be from Brazil, but I was hesitant to ask!
All the best vibes and wishes of quick and healthy recovery to your mother, Caley. She already survived the worst and most scareful part, hopefully everything will be alright. Sending good vibes from Georgia!
Keep it up!
As a Batman fan it pains me a little that "normal peoples" dont know who Two-Face is. He is such an iconic villain in the comics! But apparently all that peoples know is Joker and maybe Catwoman.
I have never read any comics for any franchise, but even I knew who two face is, but I guess thats only because of the older batman films with two face and riddler, and poison ivy, Mr freeze, the other bane, the penguin, etc. I guess I'm too old 😂
Heath passed before it came out and never saw the finished film. Legend
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! I hope she has a healthy recovery.
This movie is in my top 10 favorites of all time.
Bruce's penthouse is the ground-level lobby of a hotel in Chicago; there's green screens outside of all the windows so they could put the Chicago skyline in later.
The interrogation scene is the first scene Christian and Heath did together, Christian couldn't stop laughing in between takes because he was in awe of what Heath was doing. Also, both of them being method actors, Heath told Christian "I don't want to fake this, just hit me as hard as you can."
95% of the movie is Chicago, but the interior of the Gotham Police Dept is a building in London! Nolan always shoots there.
This movie was an EXPERIENCE in theaters, let me tell you.
2 hours😮..and you did it professionally, you guys are amazing...
Heath ledger did his own makeup for Joker, and even when he wasn't filming his scenes ledger would still show up in full costume and character and help his costars with their lines. Also the 1st time Rachel's and Alfred's characters saw ledger as Joker was filming the party scene and said that ledger as Joker scared them both
Heath Ledger grabbing Maggie Gyllenhaal and getting really threatening with her at the party, that was all very spontaneously improvised on the spot without prior planning or any warning. And yes, Ms. Gyllenhaal did find it quite genuinely frightening.
Horrible Bosses 😂
Gabriella's "Rachel is a hoe" watch was hysterical.
Alfred was supposed to have a line after joker killed The fake Batman but he was so shocked he forgot it and they actually flipped a truck
Am I the only one who has trouble believing this is their "first time" watching this masterpiece?
Yea, it’s on TNT every Saturday the last 15 years😂😂😂😂😂
Prayers for your mother and a speedy recovery...loved the reaction
Well, Ledger was dealing with a divorce and alcoholism, which led to depression. It wasn't the role that contributed. Some folks say that but there is no proof. He was already working on another film when he died. Doctor Parnassus, he was halfway finished.
He never married
33:35 Truck scene was practical
Are y'all sure y'all watch Batman begins because at the end it clearly shows that Bruce and Rachel are not together
Bro there’s no way this was your first time watching this movie…your analysis is too on point!
It is a deceptively deep movie.
Not just in terms of what the joker represents, but because of what batman represents.
He is effectively the anti terror government post 911.
Notice how he already had his sonar concept ready to go, he hadn't even told fox about it, prior to the joker attacking the ferries
It literally felt like the universe guided me to watch your reaction, something I literally never do. Jungian References(Literal Golden Scarab beetle) moment, integration of the shadow,Yin/Yang, Socrates - Is pious pious because god loves pious, emotional Intellectual logic in a woman, And Logical empathic touch of man. Wow great review. best review yet !!
This guy literally making notes... Meanwhile the girl be likr Oo shoot 😮😂
dude is annoying as hell.
"Finally with the right man". To quote Alfred- "You have no idea"
I've seen this movie so much. My favorite little detail is the fact that they gave him Detective mode/ vision.
I can't remember what came first, this movie or Arkham asylum, but regardless, as a major fan of the game it was really cool to see.
The devs of Arkham said they based their detective mode on the one in this.
Take a shot everytime when they say omg.
This is not ya'll first time watching the Dark Knight.. No need to lie🤣
Anyone else ever notice when the joker makes a joke no one laughs, but when he says something serious they all laugh?
Does this guy know how to smile
"Art heals the soul" I love it, hope everything's fine with your mom and hope soon she recovers
He said chaos is fair. Just like a coin flip. 50/50 chance
Hey Gabi and Caleb, I remember when this came out. There was hype and this movie exceeded the hype by leaps and bounds. What made this movie so compelling is the Joker's use of chaos to send Gotham into a frenzy.-------- You never know what he is going to do. I mean when the joker burns the huge pile of money. -------- You know he doesn't give a fuck. He burnt his money to watch the flames flicker. What a sick twisted villian.
In Batman Begins, Rachel was played by Katie Holmes. She was replaced by Maggie Gylenahall for this movie.
Katie Holmes is beautiful and talented, Maggie Gylenahall doesn’t come close, the single reason why this movie isn’t a 10/10 for me
@@hammalamiri12Maggie is just fine, certainly a better actress. Seen her in more compelling movies than Katie
Maggie's brother worked with Heath in Brokeback Mountain.
Let me set the record straight Heath ledger didn’t kill himself because of this role. Terry Gilliam said himself that when heath ledger would come to the set of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus In between filming of the dark knight that ledger would talk about how exciting it was filming the dark knight. Unfortunately, he was overworked. And accidentally overdose on medication and sleeping pills. So he wasn’t depressed the role of the joker. Didn’t mess up his mind. people need to know the truth.
Espero que sua mãe se recupere logo deste acidente!! Sou do Brasil Campo grande no Mato Grosso do Sul e gosto muito do canal de vocês!!!
Shotguns can shoot slugs. It is what people use in zones for deer hunting where it is excessive flat land, no trees, no hills where rifles are not allowed. Very common. Amd one setup with a fully rifled slug barrel you can shoot a deer out to 200 yards. 250 max. Ideally 150 or less
My thoughts are with your mom, praying for a speedy recovery. Soon as you mentioned that, I thought of a particular scene in this movie regarding a truck and though to myself "um...maybe not the best time to react to this movie?" Hope it wasn't too triggering. 🤷♂
And yes, it was ALL practical. They really did that stunt for reals, in real time; as well as the hospital going boom. In fact, Nolan is so committed to practical effects, I jokingly say he filmed Interstellar "on location".
The best Batman movie ever!🖤
Health Ledger won the best supporting actor for Joker
RIP Legend!🕊
I don't know how long ago you guys may have actually recorded this reaction, but I sinceriously hope that your Mom's recovery is going well. That sounded horrifying - please keep us updated!
One of the best thing about The Dark Knight's opening heist sequence that a lot of people tend to miss is the fact that NONE of the grenades were real grenades. They would've just harmlessly blown smoke just like the one the Joker puts into the Bank Manager's mouth. So nobody in the bank was ever actually in danger -- they put a grenade in everybody's hands and pulled the pins - if a person let go of one, the grenade would have detonated... and it would be a harmless smoke grenade. The only people who were actually killed were the other bank robbers... and the Bank Manager only got shot because he was shooting at them.
Great reaction, The Dark Knight 🖤
Great video reaction guys. Heath Ledger didn’t kill himself he died from a accidental overdose of prescription medications.
The Joker is based on Azazel, one of the Princes of Hell, a literal Demon, who appears in medieval demonology books as a clown.
I loved the Batman series by Nolan.
But the one thing that always bothered me about this particular film was that there was so much violence, but no blood. Which make's me think that's how this film got a PG-13 instead of an R.
Yes it bothered me that the exclusion of blood in a very violent movie to get more butts in the seats smacked of box office receipts.
That being said, it's still a great movie.
And RIP to Heath Leger.
The best Joker.
I dont think that blood or explicit violence would improve the movie in any way. It has so much suspension it didnt need blood at all.
@@usulsk I think it would have added greatly to the film. It would have shown that Super Heroes and Super villains bled just like you and me. Not Quentin Tarantino levels of excessive blood, but just shown that these people are human and bleed when shot, stabbed, or hit, just like you and me. It can be done. Mind you, the movie is still great. Performances were top notch and the story was complex but understandable. But NO blood...at all?
It's just smacked of getting the younger crowd into the theaters. It was like Nolan censored his own film at the behest of the studios. Just an opinion.
@@lawrencefine5020naa
@@lawrencefine5020there are 0 super villains or heroes in this movie though? Your point doesn’t even make sense, blood would’ve been so out of place and cringe
@@jebalitabb8228 If you get cut with a blade, do you not bleed? It had so much violence, But no blood.
Does that make any sense to you?
Christopher Nolan really flipped that truck
I need to write this down.....Ignoring what's going on!!!!!!!!!
At 44:39, he doesn't say "it's bear", he said "It's fair."
He uses this line specifically for Harvey because that's what mattered so much to Harvey when he did his job. That's why he's a DA, his very character is oddly enough an ongoing theme throughout the movie(and even through the trilogy I believe, don't quote me on that though) in a very interesting way.
People broke the rules and they didn't get repercussions. Gordon would be working by himself if he didn't work with cops with shady and illegal. Harvey addresses him on this multiple times. "Gordon, I don't like that you've got that you've got your own special unit, and I don't like that it's full of cops I investigated at Internal Affairs.", "I almost had your rookie cold on a racketeering beat.", "If you stood up against corruption instead of doing your deal with the devil."
But look at Harvey:
He tried to do everything the right and just way. Even challenged the mayor on cleaning Gotham's streets(which still ticked me off. What's wrong with getting 18 months of clean streets, Gotham can barely get 10 minutes.), he lost his wife and half his identity. And so he takes on a name that was given to him long ago by crooked cops at IA(oh the irony), a time when he was just doing his job FAIRLY.
He is the living proof.
In this world, you really can't be decent men in an indecent time.
He played by rules that never existed in this city.
why didnt you watch this when it came out?
They did.
Yes, the truck flip was practical
See, when you’re acting like you’re watching this for the first time then act better. Don’t over act.
Even just the semi truck flip was insane. To get permission from the city to do it, Nolan had to prove he could do it in a parking lot on the first try. Because those are real buildings on either side of it (banks, actually). Then he had to hit the mark exactly, because activating the piston at the wrong spot could rupture a sewer line or damage an underground vault (again, banks). Finally they even had a stunt driver inside the whole time. All that just for this one scene.
44:38 Even when Joker says he doesn't have any plan, he planned his every action to the minute details. When Joker's making Harvey point gun at him, if you look closely, Joker has his finger pressing the trigger that means even if Harvey had tried to shoot Joker, the gun wouldn't have fired at all. Joker just nudged Harvey towards evil and made him feel like it was Harvey himself deciding to do so. Talk about Character Development ❤🔥. Rest in Peace, Heath Ledger.
19:25 Joker’s maniacal “Hahahaha” of pure joy as he’s slashing & stabbing the man to death is fkn terrifying!! 😱😱😱
some random info for you, at 21:39 the older gentleman he starts telling the story to, is Senator Patrick Leahy., at this time, was 3rd in line of succession. He has be in 5 batman movies. He has been in more batman movies then anyone.
22:28 I like how Jokers plan went out the window (haha) as soon as he had the opportunity to give a funny response.
I didn't notice the points about duality in visual storytelling of the movie.
Thanks for the fresh perspective !
10:50 It's a reference to Michael Keaton's Batman costume
