First Time Watching THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) MOVIE REACTION

Heath truly became the Joker, his portrayal is hauntingly awesome, so dark n yet, silly, goofy and even if he said he "didn't have plans" n all that he was incredibly calculating, truly an incredible villain. Heath was my favorite Joker even if Joaquin's Joker was amazing as well but we've only watched him in the how he became that persona. Awesome reaction ladies, as usual

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Joker was daring Batman to break his no-killing rule when he was saying "Hit me!".

He told Batman flat out in the interrogation room that he was going to make him break that one rule

1:05:16 "And, if you look at it, the other guy on the ferry that was in the suit that was _about_ to do it, he _decided_ to do it. He _wanted_ to. In the end, he didn't, but the _prisoners-_ it wasn't his intention at _all."_ Taking an average, everyday, ordinary human being and training him to be capable of lethal force is a _deceptively_ complex process. You need a lot more than the physical ability to lift a remote and flip a switch. Most of the time, believe it or not, human beings have an instinctive empathy for fellow human _beings._

[@Landwehr900]

noooo you guys didn't watch Batman Begins first :////// The Dark Knight is the second movie in the trilogy and you're missing a bit of context. Still, the Dark Knight is so good of a story and Batman the character is so iconic that it can be watched and enjoyed on its own. Still, at some point check out Batman Begins first if you ever decide to watch the Dark Knight Rises (the last movie in this trilogy) -- everything will connect better.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

This movie can stand on it's own if you have a basic understanding of Batman's origin... but yeah they're missing ALOT if they don't see Batman Begins. Scarecrow..Bruce and Rachel's relationship.. Lucious Fox.. And if they want to watch Dark Knight Rises they HAVE to see Batman Begins first or they miss a HUGE part of the plot! Personally I think Batman Begins is the superior movie.

[@walteralcaraz5898]

You could tell they didn't watch BB first because they didn't react to a surprise, that the role of Rachel had been 're-cast'', from Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal. Most other reactors say something like "wait, who is that? What happened to Rachel?"

I just wanted that you're both amazing people ! I followed a lot of your video reactions from now and I'm amazed by how human, kind and optimistic you are (something pretty rare on youtube and especially with reactors imo). But I agree, you should have started with batman begins because it is a trilogy with : -batman begins -the dark knight -and the dark knight rises (the last one) Also if you have never watched these movies, I suggest them for you : -what dreams may come (1998) -the matrix (1999) -the star wars franchise Take care ;)

5:29 "He likes her?" "Seems like they have history." That's Rachel Dawes. She and Bruce met in _Batman Begins,_ the movie to which this is the sequel. In _that_ movie, though, she was played by a different actress. It's a defining trait of Batman, though, that he _never_ has a devoted love interest. He can't risk it. He _dares_ not risk it, because he goes after extraordinarily powerful, exceptionally well-connected _people_ who might come after _him_ by targeting _her._

The joker doesn't have an origin story in the original comic books. That's why he has no prints, teeth, identification. He's been given multiple origins since, but he's a character that doesn't need one. It makes him more interesting

[@shanecreekmore2539]

Nice reaction!!! just wanted to further your knowledge about this movie and heath ledgers performance. They gave him a lot of room to ad lib and improvise all the way down to the makeup. he breathed so much life into the joker it’s scary. the licking of the lips. the mouth tongue pop he does when he you strike his nerve. the face paint on his fingers. all his doing . you can also see him improv some major scenes. the reaction from the cast in the room at the high rise fundraiser. was an authentic shock!! reaction no one on set had seen him till that moment. the video made by joker of the fake Batman he hung. was a complete production made by heath himself. the location of a meat locker and the camera work. he also improvised the scene at the hospital when the delayed explosion happened and he smacked the detonator a few times. if you paid attention in the hospital the conversation with Harvey dent with a gun to his head. you can see that the jokers crazy but not stupid or suicidal. he is holding the hammer of the gun back. so when and if Dent pulled the trigger it wouldn’t fire. Best joker of all time !!!!

[@vincestapels2022]

Seriously great reaction guys!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

7:54 "So he's not able to turn his head in the first suit." "Yeah. It's like a stiff neck, right?" In the 1960's TV show and the _animated_ series, Batman's been able to turn his head, but every Batman _movie_ has had our hero in a suit that, to really _protect_ him, had to be a suit if high tech _armor._ That includes the head and neck which, accordingly, left him unable to turn his head.

Believe it or not, this reaction is fairly unique on the internet as you two evidently hadn't watched the first film, Batman Begins, before this one. As this is my personal favorite of the trilogy, this would be the one I'd recommend casuals to see if they wanted to see a really good film without forcing them to have to sit through the previous film first. So thanks for this as your reaction is a pretty good indication for me of how that would probably go.

55:55 - I like they focusing on the coin here. It’s not that the kid was going to be ok, it’s that the coin landed heads precisely because Batman interfered.

But that coin landed on the ground because Batman interfered with the coin toss. Who knows what it would have landed on if Harvey and caught it?

[@ivansvalker7025]

The reason why they don't have an identity for the joker is because of a popular theory that the joker is some kind of special operation soldier. You should look up the theory

[@walteralcaraz5898]

Also, in the DC multi-verse, there have been various "origins" for Joker, as per the comics. In one, his parents were circus performers, another he was sort of like the Unabomber, a normal guy that went off the rails, another he was marginalized by society and ''created' as a response (the movie Joker took that one). The series Gotham also had him as an 'evil twin'. In each one, his 'real name' was slightly different. They made his origin in this movie really murky to compensate for that. Every time he told how he got his scars on his face, the story was different.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

When Joker was falling, he was laughing because the thought he won. He thought he made Batman break his one rule.

[@marcus_b1]

They can't find out who the Joker is because he has been a gangster for a long time before becoming "The Joker". He had his records and prints erased early on in his criminal career because he used to be an enforcer/hit man for the mob initially. He was the one the mob sent to take out Bruce Wayne's parents. That is why he is so good at running people and doing crime too because it's what he has been doing.

[@lawdog369]

I have heard theories that he was a special forces soldier who got betrayed and got his scars and that is why he is all about chaos and proving that people are evil because of what the ones in power did to him. And because of his top secret clearance there is no trace of him anywhere because they erased his history so he could do the missions they sent him on and then deny they knew him if things went wrong. There's more to it but that's the theory I like the best.

[@clevelandcbi]

I like both theories.

[@usulsk]

No, you are making that up. In Nolan's universe that is intentionally left open. And in the comic canon that is also not the case. Joe Chill is not the Joker and did not work with the Joker. In the Burtonverse Joker killed the parents.

[@marcus_b1]

@@usulsk Just because it was "left out" of the Nolan movies doesn't mean that Jack Napier didn't exist. Who knows what direction they would have went had Heath Ledger lived.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

If you want to see a good Batman story that's not tied to this, or any of the other live action movies, and is closer to the comic book version of the character, there are a bunch of animated movies that are actually really good. Animated versions of some of the best comic storylines including what's arguably the greatest Batman story ever told, The Dark Knight Returns (Parts 1 and 2). Story of a 60 year old Batman's return after a 10 year retirement. Part 1 is his first night out, Batman vs Two-Face and Batman vs the gang that's taken over Gotham in his absence.. Part 2 is Batman's final battle with the Joker... and Batman vs the U.S. Government... who sends Superman to take Bruce in or kill him. There's also Batman Mask of the Phantasm, which is tied in to the animated series from the 90's and is considered by comic book fans to be the greatest Batman movie ever. No other movie dives as deeply into Batman's psyche as that one. Under the Red Hood is another great one. It has the Joker in it but I can't say anything more than that without going into HEAVY spoilers!
