He lied about everything bro. He has plans and planned everything ahead of time. He just lies to manipulate others. But that didn't work on the batman.
Honestly, the rest of the plan goes off, even without the Joker involved. The boats, the hostages. All he needed was Harvey to break, and you're right, he got that.

This line is from the movie The Dark Knight, spoken by the character Harvey Dent/Two-Face. It underscores the theme of the consequences of one's actions and the idea that those who seek to manipulate and deceive others often end up suffering themselves. It serves as a cautionary reminder about the dangers of dishonesty and manipulation in relationships and in life.
Nolan even felt to need to do a quick zoom into the subtle facial reactions of the joker saying that, absolutely stellar filming, editing, and above all an all time great performance by Heath.
Just proves that even if you are in on the plan or the inside of the group, that doesn't mean that you won't be a sacrifice or be turned on at some point. Anyone can be deceived, and that is what the Joker basically pointed out...or what he tried to convince Harvey of.
Yes. Here in Italy there is a.. "group" of people who evaluates you skills after 5 years of highschool and at the end of this "exam" the "main dude" asked me that exact question so I looked dead in my English teachers eyes and said "do i really look like a guy with a plan?" silence.. He started laughing so hard but the other dudes didn't catch on so he had to explain it was a quote 💀💀💀
Just imagine this Joker doing normal things like going to sleep or eating a sandwich. Idk why but I just find it funny to imagine him doing things like that
One of the greatest performances in cinematic history, I love the "I'm a dog chasing a car, I wouldn't know what to do if I got one". The gestures and voice inflections are just staggering.
@@ashtonnc-17 That's not what happened, Heath didn't go insane. That's just what the media tells you. He died of an accidental overdose because he had problems sleeping.
Y'know, I think Aaron Eckhart is not a very good actor, but in this movie he was Oscar-worthy. Proves that a good director can extract whatever he needs for his movie, regardless of the talent, or lack thereof.
Nicholson Joker: “Do I look like I’m joking?” Ledger Joker: “Do I really look like a guy with a plan?” Phoenix Joker: “Do I look like the kind of clown that could start a movement?”
"Do I really look like a guy with a plan?" Literally the best line in the entire film, because the nuance behind it is exceptionally deep. This entire time all he's had is a plan. He had a plan for everything. He WON. And in this moment...? He was still able to convince Harvey that he's still just pure, childish chaos. When in reality he's the smartest man in the room.
It's an interesting thing to consider. It's easy for him to appear as though he has a plan because he exists to fuck up everybody else's plan as he detests being controlled. So, every time a new plan is concocted his only plan is to make them see how futile it is. If the controllers stop trying to control, he has no reason to continue. It's an intriguing look at modern society and centralised governance.
@@Noallegiance I'd have to agree with ya. The "I just DO things" (head twitch) meant that he was a mostly spontaneous and like you said, once an actual "plan" was set, everything just seemed to fall in place for him.
That's my only criticism of this movie, Joker was too smart and had far too many plans. That's not how the character was in the comics (for the most part). This version of Joker was more like a Joker/Riddler hybrid, in my opinion.
@@GucciGlen That's the point of the movie. The joker tricks everybody in the movie, including the audience. He doesn't do anything randomly, everything is planned before hand. In final scene in the building you can see the joker reading a script of what he was going to do. In the beginning of the movie he already had a thread of his jacket attached to the smoke grenade. He's a liar, a manipulator and a hypocrite.
Interesting detail about this scene - at 3:20 the Joker has his right hand placed over the hammer mechanism on the revolver. The pressure from his finger could prevent the hammer from striking the firing pin with enough force to fire a bullet. He really is a guy with a plan.
I think the problem was they shoved in two villains into the movie into the movie. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie but looking back, I feel that had Decker been put for a film (probably an additional one before TDKR), he would have shined more without being overshadowed.
another 'unpopular opinion' solely based on a scene played on yt. In all scenes of movies on yt, there gotta be someone who yells like 'he's the highlight!'
"Do i really look like a guy with a plan?" Dude had the ultimate plan, really, didnt he One of the best parts of his plan was making it look like he didnt have one at all. Really a brilliant character and performance by Ledger
Yeah he’s a liar a deception master that’s the brilliance behind the joker. His manipulation skills are amazing he convinced Harvey that Rachel’s death was not his fault or part or his plan when we planned all of it and turned the white knight or Gotham into everything he caught against. All due to manipulation. You could say that’s the jokers super power. His ability to control and deceive people.
pohmakas33 honestly that line was just to kinda throw Harvey off. All this shit was planned. You can tell because during the climax with the ferries he’s reading from a notebook. Clearly this guy has thought everything out. He just wants to make people think he is chaos and anarchy incarnate. Clever writing and character development. Dude’s a genius
This applies with Ukrainians lives being valued over lives in the Middle East and Africa. Pale skinned people are seen as more important than dark skinned people.
Joker is so good at lying that he legitimately tricked the general audience into thinking he really is an Agent of Chaos. He’s not a chaotic. He’s a calculated and manipulative mastermind who plays people like pawns. Absolutely genius
Oh he's definitely an Agent of Chaos. Yes a scheming master manipulator, calculated with every move he makes.....but its all in the name of creating chaos and anarchy Fuckin horrifying
He’s an anti planner. He doesn’t have an overall motive but to just deconstruct and destroy everyone else’s plans. So in that sense he doesn’t scheme or plan he just systematically destroys things for no reason
More like amoral. And that's even scarier. Joker does not care about morality and pisses on those who do. Whether good or evil. Those are the schemers he's talking about. He doesn't want to save starving kids but neither does he want to make any particular person suffer. He just wants chaos. At least it appears so.
@@copopopocoporododoro chaos is fair. But the problem with the fairness of chaos is that it leaves us all equally drowning in the despair of our own confusion, ignorance and fear.

I always love that "its nothing personal" line in movies. IT doesn't really matter for the people afraid of dying. Its the most intimate and personal thing for them ever to occur. Sometimes its also the last.
This line really highlights the cold, detached nature of those who are capable of taking someone's life without a second thought. To them, it's just business, just a job to be done. But for the victim, it's the end of everything they've ever known, the ultimate betrayal of trust and the ultimate act of violence. It's a chilling reminder of the fragility of life and the callousness of those who are willing to extinguish it without remorse. In the world of fiction, it may just be a line in a script, but in reality, it's a stark and brutal truth that we must confront and reckon with.
Alexander Kings yet the new joker used his vest/ jacket style and hair which resembled Heaths original joker take. Joaquin copied allot while Heaths was original.
"Mmm now we're talkin" That wasn't because he pulled out the coin to make his decision it's that the Joker finally made honorable Harvey Dent stoop to his level. Breaking everything Harvey stood for, breaking him as a man. Absolutely brilliant writing.
Interesting. If Dent had just skipped the coin and blown the Joker's head off, few would have seen it as 'stooping' to some lower level. It would have just been stopping a known dangerous criminal... or maybe he'd be seen as a little 'lower' if it was old-fashioned revenge. Putting it to chance and honoring the coin toss did mean that Dent was now putting something above justice or even logic and indeed stooping to become something worse... Of course, unless the Joker had no bullets in that gun he gave Dent, he was taking quite the chance. The least likely outcome of this whole thing was the Joker surviving, coin toss or not....
I really don't think Aaron Eckhart gets enough credit for how amazing of a job he did as Harvey dent. He sells the duplicitous role so well even before he gets burned
I was just thinking. His acting is phenomenal in that scene. He says so little, but you can see him visually change throughout the scene and complete his transformation by the end.
But he didn't. He went from White Knight to pissed off knight wanting revenge. That's it. Harvey Dent/Two Face were 2 sides of the same coin with 2 distinct personalities. The comic Two Face would have struggled with taking Gordon's family hostage and threatening his kids. He would have debated it out loud. The only thing Eckhart's version has in common with the comic version is the fact that half of their faces were deformed. The rest is just a good guy gone bad.
Nam Phạm it’s like meeting that one family member you knew you talked shit about recently and they heard it, but you have to try and get along at a family gathering
@@DH_Artist HAHAHAHA more like the affair, who played a significant role to your parents divorce (and is now the "regular" one), as they're trying to wish you "all the happiness" at your wedding, while being held by the cheating parent and sitted right across the cheated one on the family table 😂🤣😂🤣 !!!! I think it's THAT awkward😂🤣
Look at Joker's facial expression when he utters the word "Hi..." Ledger's brilliant delivery denoted both pity and maybe even a little guilt. That line always stuck with me.
This movie is a masterpiece. Its every little detail that matters, like The Joker using hand sanitizer. Its so comical and doesn't have any significance to the story or even the scene. Its just a layer of the his character that makes sense and is a parallel to his actual psychotic behavior. I'll never forget seeing it in theaters the day it came out. I left the movie almost speechless.
He's not psychotic, that means you see and experience things that are not real. He's psychopatic, or "suffers" from anti social personality disorder. Lack of guilt, empathy and feelings.
@@jpeg.600x2 That might be a possibility. Neither sociopathy and psychopathy are used by professional psychologists today. Sociopathy is a more common subcatagory of ASPD than psychpathy. Socopaths Are made through traumatic childhood experiences, while psychopaths are born that way. Sociopaths can have a lessened form emphaty with close family or friends, and can have fits of anger during periods of high stress, while psychopaths are incapable of true ettachments and are almost immune to emotional stress. He seems like a psychopath to me..
@@aleksanderhiller7506 no cap that seem most like it u rightf, he has no real emotional stress, he porbably went this way when he realized shame did nothing to him
Look closely, Joker never put his life in Two-Faces hands. Its an illusion. The revolver is loaded, however Joke has his index on the hammer, if Two Face was to pull the trigger, the gun wouldnt go off. He literally built an illusion for Two Face and won his trust.
One of those movies regardless if you watch it 50 times you realize another nuance or “tick” about Heath’s joker and the rhyme and reason behind everything he says and does throughout the movie. Such a meticulous, brilliant character and portrayed flawlessly by Heath Ledger. RIP
1:43 Notice how the Joker shifts from one side to the other ( from Harvey's unburnt side to the burnt side ), representing also the shift in Harvey's role in the movie from a hero to a villain.
Amazing observation. It was like he was apologizing to the small piece of human left but greeting the dark side in while joker relates to. Also I feel that joker was bored with having all the fun with himself but wanted to bring someone down on to his level of insanity
Everyone misses the single greatest part of this scene and possibly the entire movie. Look how Joker holds the gun after his little speech about anarchy and chaos. Notice anything? His fingers are on the hammer of the pistol, holding it back. That firearm is not going to fire as long as his fingers rest there. And this is why the Joker is so incredibly cunning. He has given Dent the illusion of choice. Joker is walking out of that room no matter what happens, but if luck is on his side he will have corrupted Gotham’s White Knight and beacon of hope. It’s so utterly brilliant, and so criminally overlooked.
Interesting take, but it could be a Death of the Author situation where Ledger didn't take that into account because it's not immediately obvious how a gun works. He's an actor, after all, not a marksman. It plays more to the Joker's actual point and the point of the whole scene that he not be made a hypocrite in that instance, after all, and I'd like to believe he were genuinely welcoming the chance that Harvey would kill the king to take the throne so to speak.
That's not how firearms work. It would still fire. The Joker was willing to die right then and there. Because he knew Harvey was going to carry on his work.
ye but what about Harvey throwing his coin - isn't that the same coin he used before aka the one with 2 same sides? So like he already chose what to assign to "kill" and what to "live" before ever tossing it
4:12 i love how Bruce give a very very subtle nod to Coleman. This implies that Bruce saved Coleman's life, and Coleman would not expose Bruce cause of it. He basically owed his life to Bruce.
It becomes even more powerful when you take into account what Lucius said to Coleman "you think your client one of the wealthiest most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante and your plan is to blackmail this person". That nod is basically Bruce saying "I could destroy your life in ways you couldn't even imagine but I'm choosing to save you".
lmao no, the joker already said that he wanted to kill coleman because he was going to reveal who is batman, coleman already backed out on that and was thinking about his life, bruce saving him had nothing to do with that
@@jancarlosmanon4556 but then again after the whole joker situation he still knows who Batman is he could have chose to reveal it later but doesn’t because Bruce did save his life
From his menacing laugh to his chilling monologues, Ledger's portrayal of the Joker has left a lasting impact on audiences. Some of the most memorable quotes include "Why so serious?" and "It's not about money, it's about sending a message." Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight is widely regarded as one of the best villain portrayals in cinema history, earning him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The depth and complexity he brought to the character have solidified his Joker as one of the greatest villains of all time.
Not only is this by far the best Batman movie but the bar that Ledger set for anyone else to play this character is so high i just don't think anyone is going to match it, it was like this role was especially made for him and him alone.
the way heath says "hi" at the beginning is just so darn brilliant. the delivery of that one word perfectly captures how everything he does and every interaction he has serves no purpose beyond that of his own amusement. he doesn't believe in anything, he doesn't care about the message, he's just having fun.
I only just noticed that as Mr Reace climbed out of the van, Bruce gives him a nod, signaling to Reace, who knows batman's identity, that he'll protect him even though he was willing to betray him
Aside from the incredible acting, I'd just like to give appreciation to the team that were behind the design and CGI for Harvey's face. Still looks amazing 14 years later.
3:25 the joker has his finger on the hammer of the revolver so if he did pull the trigger it wouldn't fire. He's the ultimate "planner", he plans everything to the end and has every little thing under control. He's an expert at manipulating people.
@Jackson Taylor lol that's not true, I have the same revolver. There isn't that much force at all, dropping the hammer safely when pulling the trigger is common practice.
@Jackson Taylor Holding the hammer while pulling the trigger is literally how you decock a revolver. It takes maybe.. idk 8 lbs of pressure?.. You clearly know absolutely 0 about firearms.
@@amaraclarke121 noooo please don’t think that’s the line 😂 it’s “fair” for sure. That’s kind of the entire point of Harvey dent flipping his coin. It’s unbiased. Fair.
The Joker calls himself an Agent of Chaos, but if you watch closely, every single moment of the movie he had everything perfectly under control. He even has his finger in the hammer of the gun to stop Harvey from actually shooting him. In the end, he also wins, corrupting Harvey, making people loose faith in Batman and making him break his only rule, so, all his plans were successfull.
I still think that he was waiting for the coin toss and would have let go of the hammer. Joker's plan is to be an instrument of chaos and to let it use him. Basically, his Ego has no plans for self preservation etc.
caos is just things that human can't understand and think it's the product of randomness. Obviously you missed the part were joker self delares to be ahead of the curve.
@@ultraali453 I'm sure that's what you think the case is, but OP is right. Everything he did was planned. I doubt he'd have let go of the hammer, because he plans other things. He even has a note where he recites his monologue before Batman engages him. He planned almost everything.
4:03 I love that Batman/Bruce cares more about being a hero than about getting credit for it. It's one of the reasons Batman is my favourite superhero. In a way, this behavior here demonstrates what he'll do at the end of the movie. "I never said thank you." "And you'll never have to."
and also he's bruce wayne, and bruce wayne's character is a self-serving asshole who wouldn't sacrifice his safety or expensive car to save others. he had to maintain that; in fact, saving the guy who knew wayne was batman was still a self-serving action, because it convinced him to keep wayne's secret. he wasn't doing it out of altruism or to be a hero
Amazing voice work here by Ledger too. The amount of effort it must take to modulate it constantly whilst speaking through the Joker-esque tone, is pretty incredible.
@@TheMiddlingGamer Correct, it is no guarantee, by any means. It certainly CAN add to the odds of it not going off, though. in this case - and this is clearly just my opinion and speculative - I think it’s more of Ledger being mindful of his own safety and doing just a little bit extra to take ownership of his own safety on set. It’s such a tiny little detail, but prop guns are still dangerous (ask Brandon Lee). But, even if the hammer escapes his grip, the interference of his finger having been there will still reduce the force of impact when it strikes the primer. No guarantees, but, it’s a fast and dirty way of improving your survival odds when holding a prop gun mere inches from your face. I know I wouldn’t even want that thing cocked at all if I were an actor in that same situation. But, I also like the narrative that says the Joker is such a cunning manipulator he would never leave his fate to chance like that. It’s for sure an attractive narrative.
True. Both jokers are great. It's annoying how people say that one is better than the other, because even though they are the same character, they are pretty different.
Yeah, I lovd Joker and Phoenix did a great job. And I'll definitely be watching it again. But Heath Ledger cant be topped in my opinion. Never gets old.
I believe he was thinking something like : I like your concept. Half-toast face, half-toast piece, you yeet it in the air and wee dude lives or dies. And that deathglare and edgy tone, it’s the cherry on the top. That’s the spirit Harvey. I’m proud of you, you exceed my expectations
I mean everything we do has some kind of planning involved. I think he meant a plan in a broader sense. Like Order and Power is what he is trying to bring down.
Such a terrific script. Also, best Joker ever, may he rest in peace. I love the fact that with this Joker, you can't truly see behind his mask. Either he's the greatest of scheming hypocrites or a true believer of Chaos. Possibly, paradoxically, both. I can't tell.
I think he meant that when someone have a plan is for a greater good, that could be for the society or personal gain. Joker doesn't gain anything from the chaos that he does (he burn the money) he just do chaotics things. Just my opinion tho 👍

^ Eckhart absolutely fucking killed this role. Almost as on par with Ledger in this movie.
@@bradleye660ok well not that far but yeah he was amazing
When Dent sees it's the Joker his thrashing is so...on point. Great acting

I will give Bale credit for this much: He is exceptionally good at the "Bruce playing dumb" act.

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan?" Literally the best line in the entire film, because the nuance behind it is exceptionally deep. This entire time all he's had is a plan. He had a plan for everything. He WON. And in this moment...? He was still able to convince Harvey that he's still just pure, childish chaos. When in reality he's the smartest man in the room.
It's an interesting thing to consider. It's easy for him to appear as though he has a plan because he exists to fuck up everybody else's plan as he detests being controlled. So, every time a new plan is concocted his only plan is to make them see how futile it is. If the controllers stop trying to control, he has no reason to continue. It's an intriguing look at modern society and centralised governance.
Not just Harvey. A lot of the audience too.
@@Noallegiance I'd have to agree with ya. The "I just DO things" (head twitch) meant that he was a mostly spontaneous and like you said, once an actual "plan" was set, everything just seemed to fall in place for him.
That's my only criticism of this movie, Joker was too smart and had far too many plans. That's not how the character was in the comics (for the most part). This version of Joker was more like a Joker/Riddler hybrid, in my opinion.
@@GucciGlen That's the point of the movie. The joker tricks everybody in the movie, including the audience. He doesn't do anything randomly, everything is planned before hand. In final scene in the building you can see the joker reading a script of what he was going to do. In the beginning of the movie he already had a thread of his jacket attached to the smoke grenade. He's a liar, a manipulator and a hypocrite.
Interesting detail about this scene - at 3:20 the Joker has his right hand placed over the hammer mechanism on the revolver. The pressure from his finger could prevent the hammer from striking the firing pin with enough force to fire a bullet. He really is a guy with a plan.
Yeah but what makes it crazier is when he talks about chaos moments later he removes his finger like it's nothing which would he in character.

Aaron Eckhart deserves more praise for his performance in this movie. He’d easily be the highlight of the movie but Heath Ledger was just too good.
His transition from the hero district attorney to the psychotic killer is under appreciated
I am not so sure.. 🤷♂️
Yep. Perfection of a performance by Eckhart.
I think the problem was they shoved in two villains into the movie into the movie. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie but looking back, I feel that had Decker been put for a film (probably an additional one before TDKR), he would have shined more without being overshadowed.

I always love that "its nothing personal" line in movies. IT doesn't really matter for the people afraid of dying. Its the most intimate and personal thing for them ever to occur. Sometimes its also the last.
This line really highlights the cold, detached nature of those who are capable of taking someone's life without a second thought. To them, it's just business, just a job to be done. But for the victim, it's the end of everything they've ever known, the ultimate betrayal of trust and the ultimate act of violence.
It's a chilling reminder of the fragility of life and the callousness of those who are willing to extinguish it without remorse. In the world of fiction, it may just be a line in a script, but in reality, it's a stark and brutal truth that we must confront and reckon with.
Heath's Joker is an agent of chaos and Phoenix's Joker is born from chaos.
Michael Mahabir Hamil’s Joker is the son of chaos and Nicholson’s Joker *IS* chaos.
So Heath Ledger's created Joaquin's Joker?
Thus becoming an agent of chaos
The new Joker has nothing to do with Heath's.
Alexander Kings yet the new joker used his vest/ jacket style and hair which resembled Heaths original joker take. Joaquin copied allot while Heaths was original.

That wasn't because he pulled out the coin to make his decision it's that the Joker finally made honorable Harvey Dent stoop to his level. Breaking everything Harvey stood for, breaking him as a man. Absolutely brilliant writing.
madness is just like gravity all you need is a little push
One bad day.
Yup. That’s it. That’s the big moment
Interesting. If Dent had just skipped the coin and blown the Joker's head off, few would have seen it as 'stooping' to some lower level. It would have just been stopping a known dangerous criminal... or maybe he'd be seen as a little 'lower' if it was old-fashioned revenge. Putting it to chance and honoring the coin toss did mean that Dent was now putting something above justice or even logic and indeed stooping to become something worse...
Of course, unless the Joker had no bullets in that gun he gave Dent, he was taking quite the chance. The least likely outcome of this whole thing was the Joker surviving, coin toss or not....

I was just thinking. His acting is phenomenal in that scene. He says so little, but you can see him visually change throughout the scene and complete his transformation by the end.
But he didn't. He went from White Knight to pissed off knight wanting revenge. That's it. Harvey Dent/Two Face were 2 sides of the same coin with 2 distinct personalities. The comic Two Face would have struggled with taking Gordon's family hostage and threatening his kids. He would have debated it out loud. The only thing Eckhart's version has in common with the comic version is the fact that half of their faces were deformed. The rest is just a good guy gone bad.

Look how Joker holds the gun after his little speech about anarchy and chaos. Notice anything? His fingers are on the hammer of the pistol, holding it back. That firearm is not going to fire as long as his fingers rest there. And this is why the Joker is so incredibly cunning. He has given Dent the illusion of choice. Joker is walking out of that room no matter what happens, but if luck is on his side he will have corrupted Gotham’s White Knight and beacon of hope.
It’s so utterly brilliant, and so criminally overlooked.
Yep, you're right. He even point's with that finger when he says " it's fair", and then place it on the hammer . Oh the irony
Interesting take, but it could be a Death of the Author situation where Ledger didn't take that into account because it's not immediately obvious how a gun works. He's an actor, after all, not a marksman. It plays more to the Joker's actual point and the point of the whole scene that he not be made a hypocrite in that instance, after all, and I'd like to believe he were genuinely welcoming the chance that Harvey would kill the king to take the throne so to speak.
That's not how firearms work. It would still fire. The Joker was willing to die right then and there. Because he knew Harvey was going to carry on his work.

It becomes even more powerful when you take into account what Lucius said to Coleman "you think your client one of the wealthiest most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante and your plan is to blackmail this person". That nod is basically Bruce saying "I could destroy your life in ways you couldn't even imagine but I'm choosing to save you".

Not only is Heath Ledger's Joker THE Joker but there are so many amazing quotes and moments from it
From his menacing laugh to his chilling monologues, Ledger's portrayal of the Joker has left a lasting impact on audiences. Some of the most memorable quotes include "Why so serious?" and "It's not about money, it's about sending a message." Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight is widely regarded as one of the best villain portrayals in cinema history, earning him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The depth and complexity he brought to the character have solidified his Joker as one of the greatest villains of all time.
Not only is this by far the best Batman movie but the bar that Ledger set for anyone else to play this character is so high i just don't think anyone is going to match it, it was like this role was especially made for him and him alone.
the way heath says "hi" at the beginning is just so darn brilliant. the delivery of that one word perfectly captures how everything he does and every interaction he has serves no purpose beyond that of his own amusement. he doesn't believe in anything, he doesn't care about the message, he's just having fun.
thats exactly what he wants you to think
He says exactly the same to Lau in the holding cell after he blows up the police station.
Bet he said "Hi" to each hydrocodone and oxy pill he took as well.

The Joker calls himself an Agent of Chaos, but if you watch closely, every single moment of the movie he had everything perfectly under control. He even has his finger in the hammer of the gun to stop Harvey from actually shooting him. In the end, he also wins, corrupting Harvey, making people loose faith in Batman and making him break his only rule, so, all his plans were successfull.
I still think that he was waiting for the coin toss and would have let go of the hammer.
Joker's plan is to be an instrument of chaos and to let it use him. Basically, his Ego has no plans for self preservation etc.
*lose
caos is just things that human can't understand and think it's the product of randomness.
Obviously you missed the part were joker self delares to be ahead of the curve.
That’s why Joker took the dub in this movie over Batman
@@ultraali453 I'm sure that's what you think the case is, but OP is right. Everything he did was planned. I doubt he'd have let go of the hammer, because he plans other things.
He even has a note where he recites his monologue before Batman engages him. He planned almost everything.
4:03
I love that Batman/Bruce cares more about being a hero than about getting credit for it. It's one of the reasons Batman is my favourite superhero. In a way, this behavior here demonstrates what he'll do at the end of the movie.
"I never said thank you."
"And you'll never have to."
"and you'll never have to." Something that god or Jesus would say.
and also he's bruce wayne, and bruce wayne's character is a self-serving asshole who wouldn't sacrifice his safety or expensive car to save others. he had to maintain that; in fact, saving the guy who knew wayne was batman was still a self-serving action, because it convinced him to keep wayne's secret. he wasn't doing it out of altruism or to be a hero
Nah he'll blow his cover otherwise this is an act of Bruce Wayne careless billionaire
@@bizuett even in movies people always have to find ways to accuse a rich man. Get tf outta here!
@@vaishx rich men are bad. Well, at least the majority of them.
Amazing voice work here by Ledger too. The amount of effort it must take to modulate it constantly whilst speaking through the Joker-esque tone, is pretty incredible.
Notice how Joker actually doesn’t let his finger off the hammer even when giving Harvey “the chance” to kill him. Never noticed that growing up.
WOW! What a great catch!
That’s going in my next safety brief moment at work! 😂
I think it's a continuity error because when the camera's on him in that scene his finger's off the hammer.
@@bonnie1020a He's still kinda an agent of God Damn choas! Probably thought "Let's see if he kills me half way through this monologue"
A finger on the hammer is not going to prevent him from being killed if Harvey pulls the trigger
@@TheMiddlingGamer Correct, it is no guarantee, by any means.
It certainly CAN add to the odds of it not going off, though.
in this case - and this is clearly just my opinion and speculative - I think it’s more of Ledger being mindful of his own safety and doing just a little bit extra to take ownership of his own safety on set. It’s such a tiny little detail, but prop guns are still dangerous (ask Brandon Lee).
But, even if the hammer escapes his grip, the interference of his finger having been there will still reduce the force of impact when it strikes the primer. No guarantees, but, it’s a fast and dirty way of improving your survival odds when holding a prop gun mere inches from your face.
I know I wouldn’t even want that thing cocked at all if I were an actor in that same situation.
But, I also like the narrative that says the Joker is such a cunning manipulator he would never leave his fate to chance like that. It’s for sure an attractive narrative.
even the Joker gets frightened when Harvey shouts "RACHEL!!!" 0:29
I was going to comment that. It was so funny when joker was frightened listening to Harvey calling the name.
Thought no one else noticed that
I love how bale deliverers "why who's in it" like he genuinely just has no clue what's going on
Christian Bale's Batman was kinda meh at times, but his Bruce Wayne was a brilliant cover.
Bruce Wayne: Yeah, well, you know, try not to know too much.
R.I.P Heath Ledger one of the most iconic actors in cinema history
I love how everyone comes back to the Dark Knight after watching Joker🤣
Because it's that good
True. Both jokers are great. It's annoying how people say that one is better than the other, because even though they are the same character, they are pretty different.
Hilarious.
Because heath’s joker is better
Yeah, I lovd Joker and Phoenix did a great job. And I'll definitely be watching it again. But Heath Ledger cant be topped in my opinion. Never gets old.
I love Bruce playing dumb at the end it’s so funny
“You think I should go to the hospital?”
“You don’t watch a lot of news do you Mr Wayne”
He plays the ignorant playboy billionaire beautifully. No one would suspect he's Batman.

Am I the only one to agree that he indeed looks like a guy with a plan?
The only truth about Joker is that he never tells the truth :P
He is damn near OCD with planning
plans of conclusions
Well like he said he just "does" things, he probably doesn't plan anything he just does them, but it does look like that lol
Well to be honest with his plans he comes up with the most crucial idea in the beginning and for the rest I think he jus wings it
"I have no plans" says the guy manipulating the other into doing his bidding with a calculated and, ahem, planned logic to push him over the edge.
" When you and uh "

I love how after all this he forgets her name
He forgot it deliberately to make harvey rage even more. Genius ngl
i mean he clearly didn't forget it, because you can hear him saying her name a second after "uhh" before Harvey shouts it. he's annoying i love him
Nah I think The Joker pretends to “forget her name” to show Harvey Dent just how meaningless her life meant to The Joker.
@@ryanmorrison3699 which makes Dent mad because of how much Rachel meant to him

"Now we're talkin..."
Joker actually likes Harvey's idea.
Well, it’s random, incredibly violent, and ultimately true (at least in the Joker’s worldview).
Would joker actually let Harvey kill him
I believe he was thinking something like :
I like your concept. Half-toast face, half-toast piece, you yeet it in the air and wee dude lives or dies. And that deathglare and edgy tone, it’s the cherry on the top. That’s the spirit Harvey. I’m proud of you, you exceed my expectations
Joker's voice is so soothing, it's like listening to a ASMR video
Guy who planned and executed a series of highly successful bank heists: "Do I really look like a guy with a plan?"
he wanted to trick harvey last time to direct his anger
I mean everything we do has some kind of planning involved. I think he meant a plan in a broader sense. Like Order and Power is what he is trying to bring down.
Look can be deceiving. Anyway, he didnt lie, he doesnt look like the guy with a plan.
He didn't have a plan... Soooooo
Look where Joker's finger is on the gun, he wouldn't be shot..... he had a plan!
Some evil guy: explains their plan to the good guy
Joker: *Whats a plan?*
Which one is the evil guy?
@@prestonross6942 villans of other movies
Heath's Joker was so ahead of his time, he was already wearing a face mask in 2008
And at 3:55 he just sanitised his hands.
Because he's ahead of the curve. :)

@@xlortiz might have been if people follow fucking instructions
Such a terrific script. Also, best Joker ever, may he rest in peace.
I love the fact that with this Joker, you can't truly see behind his mask. Either he's the greatest of scheming hypocrites or a true believer of Chaos. Possibly, paradoxically, both. I can't tell.
Joker: Do i look like a guy with a plan?
Also joker: Planned a bank heist then strategically killed off every one of its heist crew
He just...does things...
I think he meant that when someone have a plan is for a greater good, that could be for the society or personal gain. Joker doesn't gain anything from the chaos that he does (he burn the money) he just do chaotics things.
Just my opinion tho 👍
The Joker is manipulative as fuck. Short term plans of madness for a long term goal of chaos.
He's also a pathological liar.
no, really, he only wanted to kill the bus driver
0:27 that moment where he puts his hands up like he was genuinely startled was hilarious
the little details
Lmao he knew damn well what her name was 🤣🤣 he’s a genius at getting under people’s skin
0:31
Fun detail: 3:37 - The Joker did not take the risk being shot by Dent. His thumb is preventing Dent from pulling the trigger.
Just a little slip
Joker’s sheepish “Hi” at the start is so good. Like he’s genuinely sad for Harvey’s condition, which he caused. It’s a hilarious acting choice
Phoenix was amazing, but this is still THE Joker.
