[@jchernandez2535]

One of Best masterpieces Ever. Maybe The Best movie Ever. Easily top 5 at least. Joker for me is the Best character in ALL fiction (thanks alot to legder evidently his performance is the Best an actor could do to a character). this movie has the Best Villain Ever And The Best superhero Ever (Batman) as well Imo.

[@SandraMorris51]

I love the night chase scene. So well filmed and choreographed. Definitely my fave of the three!

[@yoshiithelizard2664]

Oh for sure this is my favorite from the trilogy! And to pick a scene... Only one? I mean, every scene of Heath Ledger is cinema history, that was a masterclass of acting, he was the GOAT. Aside from that, I think every scene in this movie is reaaally well filmed and everything was on point: the shots, acting, music... A gem of a movie.

[@AlphaNanite]

14:10 It's possible that both stories are true and that the scar on his left is from his dad and the right one was self inflicted.

[@jeffreymcmahon3627]

My favorite scene is a tie between the money burning scene and Joker visiting Two-Face in the hospital.

[@coco-e5s]

In case you missed it Joker purposely mixed up Rachel and Harvey's locations. So when Batman went to rescue Rachel he unknowingly ended up at Harvey's location - now too late to save Rachel. Just another sick twist of the knife that is the Joker's MO.

[@Sinewmire]

We'll never know, but I bet the boats had their own detonators too. That seems like The Joker's sense of humour.

[@coco-e5s]

@@Sinewmire I thought right at the end when he's got Batman pinned down, Joker is disappointed the boats don't blow each other up, so reaches for his own switch.

[@Sinewmire]

@@coco-e5s yes, he also has his own detonator.

[@Cliffster420]

@Coco Young You are correct. I don't know how people don't get it the first time. Joker: "In their last moments, people show you who they Really are." Joker: Laughs maniacally as he is falling to his death. He thought he got Batman to break his one rule.

[@the1maggot]

another thing thats easy to miss, when Joker was talking to Harvey in the hospital, joker is holding the hammer of the revolver with his finger, so even if harvey pulled the trigger, it wouldnt have fired. joker would have lived no matter what the coin landed on.

[@iainhillenberg3433]

His passing just added a different level of anxiety about the joker going into the movie. Phenomenal performance

[@lordmortarius538]

The licking that Heath was doing was partially because the scar prosthetics would come loose, and he found if he licked them it helped them to stay on, so he worked that into his performance. Just another reason he was a brilliant actor. The old guy that Joker threatens at Harvey's fundraiser is Senior Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, who is a huge Batman fan and has done cameos before. Also, during the interrogation scene at the police lockup, he told Christian to actually hit him to make his performance truly real. As to the Joker's origin story, in the comics he's always preferred that if he did have one, that it be multiple choice. He tells different stories tailored to his audience to see the reaction they have to it. For funsies.

[@wigwitch]

I live in Chicago where The Dark Knight was filmed. It was amazing because each night the news would be reporting and showing video of the bat mobile crashing through the streets. They filmed right in the Loop, the financial district as well as in a place called Lower Wacker, where there is an entire street system under the city. And yes, they did blow up a building that stood in place of the hospital. It was the Brach’s Chocolate Factory that was due to be demolished anyways. So they took advantage of that opportunity. It was very cool coming into work and seeing police cars lined up painted with Gotham Police on them each day as well as other set pieces and places. Chicago made a perfect backdrop for Gotham City.

[@LifeisANovel]

That is. Lived in Chicago my whole life but didn't see that.

[@viditjain2653]

[@CortexNewsService]

My husband would see them filming while he walked to work. And what I really loved is they made the city a character too. With as much as they used Chicago, it made Gotham feel like a lived in place.

[@Johnnylowfive]

Didn't they do spot of filming in pittsburgh?

[@tomkvideo]

There's a story that during the party scene where Joker comes looking for Harvey, the first take they did, Michael Caine forgot his lines because Heath terrified him so much. Heath Ledger was amazing in this movie. It's terrible that he died before it was released in theaters and people lost their minds over it. He won a Golden Globe, SAG and Oscar for playing him. Christopher Nolan, Gary Oldman and his family accepted on his behalf for each award.

[@Enrique-Garcia]

Just to expand on what you said, it wasn't only that Michael Caine was terrified, he hadn't seen Ledger with the make-up on, he had no idea what the Joker would look like, so he was absolutely shocked (you can see Caine just staring at Ledger as Joker walks around). Same for Rachel in the same scene, Maggie Gyllenhaal hadn't seen Ledger in makeup either, and Joker wasn't supposed to force Rachel to "look at me", but Ledger had to because Gyllenhaal was genuinely frightened and wouldn't look at him.

Everyone says the MCU and DCEU have a villain problem. This film and Heath's performance specifically is the reason. In 2008 we saw the perfect presentation of a comic villain, it's going to be a long time, if ever, until someone live up to being the bad guy just so well. Also really helps that Bale knocked it out of the park at the same time.

[@tommytommy7535]

willam dafoes goblin is also fantastic

[@adamhughes4387]

Gotta throw it out there that the only reason Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent isn't considered the best comic book villain adaptation is because even his brilliant performance is outshone by Ledger's Joker. Gary Oldman was also fantastic. In all 3 really, but especially in this one I think.

[@mattmcc72]

@@adamhughes4387 Yeah, in any other film... The supporting cast in this film, brought their A-game. Which is a huge credit to the cast, the director and the script writers. Everyone was on form for this. Heath just took it to another level. The whole story about the explosives failing in the hospital scene, but he not only didn't blow it, but adlibbed 100% in character when a once in a life time shot was being recorded. That alone proves how special he was to this film. The Oscar was more than earned by his performance. An Oscar for a comic book movie, I don't expect to see that again in my life time. Cain as Alfred, again was perfect in this one, but his performance in Rises! To this day he crushes me. No one has ever managed to portray the love and respect for his guardian that these three films do.

It always breaks my heart whenever I remember that Heath never got to see how much people loved his work in the movie. He would've been so happy and proud. It's truly devastating that he passed at such a young age. What a brilliant and amazingly talented man he was💔

[@inventsable]

This movie taught me a lot about judging actors before seeing the performance. Hardly any one will admit to it nowadays, but when Heath was first announced as the Joker there was a lot of backlash (including me) whose first response was "Seriously? The guy from Brokeback Mountain and Knight's Tale?" but then the trailers showed the "LOOK AT ME" recording and we all began to get hyped for it, which ultimately soared when the news he'd passed came. A ton of people went through this process of having low expectations to high expectations leading up to the release and it's really phenomenal that I've never heard any one say they disliked Heath's Joker despite all the pre/post hype surrounding the film. Nowadays when casting is announced and there's outrage or doubt like Affleck as Batman or Holland as Drake or etc, I immediately dismiss it and save my judgement for when I actually see it.

[@jspettifer]

Huge huge backlash. The internet was a lot smaller then but it was so anti the casting. Probably didn’t help that his prior role was as a gay cowboy. Coming after Jack Nicholson’s Joker, it would be fair to say expectations were very low. To get an Academy award in acting for a superhero movie shows that people couldn’t have been more wrong. The fact he died before release leaving his 2 year old daughter was tragic.

[@humanoid251]

“He doesn’t make a choice he just flips the coin” actually he was making his own choices up until then. Remember it’s a 2 headed coin so he would always make what he thought the ideal outcome was heads. He always gave everyone else the illusion of fate or the illusion of chance, but once he and the coin got burned he decided to actually leave it to fate. Burned is an act of evil and unburned is an act of relative good. It’s a very interesting character arc “Wait is all of that real” yup. They apparently blew up an abandoned candy factory for real for that sequence It’s such a shame Heath Ledger passed before this movie’s release. He never got to see how much people loved his performance and how it took pop culture by storm. It was said he was gonna return in Dark Knight Rises and I can only imagine how much better and/or different that movie would’ve been with him in it. What a legend

[@bredincummings4381]

The lip licking came from heath ledger having to lick the prosthetic scars to restick them when they came loose. It happened so often, he ended up making it into part of the character's mannerisms.

The term “masterpiece” gets thrown around quite a bit these days, but I think it’s just to say that this performance was Heath Ledger’s masterpiece, in the traditional sense of the word…his performance is unparalleled in any other performance of the Joker.

[@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

Truly. ❤️

[@ArsenAl-zorK]

A detail that I love in a scene is when the Joker is with Harvey Dent in the hospital room. When he gives harvey that gun, puts it on his own head and tells Harvey to pull the trigger, if you look closely you see the Joker is actually holding the "hammer" of the gun, so even if Harvey had pulled the trigger he was prepared. Goes to show that the Joker doesnt deal with chance, he as it all planned.

[@ianburns1167]

It's the little details I love in this movie. The roadblock made from a burning fire truck. The sLaughter truck. And the little traps, like that Joker made Batman choose... but lied about which person was at which location. You left out my favorite bit from the boats sequence though. Where the big prisoner talks the guard into handing over the detonator... then tosses it.

[@NK-bz9wb]

I agree, I watched the movies countless times back to back. I also noticed that some of the "belongings" in Bruce's house, for example a picture frame of his parents from the first movie, is in the third movie as well except this time it is shattered. The pearl necklace that his father gave his mother that night also makes an appearance in the third film.

Fun fact, apparently that video was originally gonna look much different, with red lighting and such, but Ledger went to Nolan and said that felt too planned for the Joker, and asked to direct it himself.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

A fun fact: Heath Ledger directed the hostage video footage stuff himself since he was always in love with the art of filmmaking and directing. And they loved it so much they included it in the movie exactly as he made it. Heath Ledger will always be my favorite actor, and this movie will always be special to me because of him. Most people think that this was his last role but his last role was actually in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus which he passed away before completing. Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell all took over Heath Ledger's character to represent different "dream sequence" versions of his character. They also took the proceeds they made from being in the movie and gave it to Matilda Ledger, Heath's daughter!

[@Chaden]

Heath Ledger did amazing in this film, glad you’re reacting to it!

[@webx135]

Rewatching this I forget the amount of respect that Harvey and Bruce had for each other. They both see the other as absolutely crucial for saving Gotham. They try to fall on their own swords for the sake of the other in several cases, and the other swoops in to take the hit instead. It's super nice to see. Especially since they played him off as "the competition" at first, basically showing the skepticism that Bruce had initially.

We couldn't believe how unbelievably great this movie was. Everyone went into this movie with high expectations because of Batman Begins and then the movie just blew all of those expectations out of the water. This was an epic crime drama masterpiece and back then nobody could have ever expected that a comic book film could ever possibly be this great. It transcended the genre and is still to this day IMO the best comic book movie of all time. Hopefully, the upcoming "The Batman" is just as good.

When Harvey shot Batman you said "well we know he's bulletproof right?"

The suit may offer some protection but he definitely is gonna have some damage from that gunshot.

In Batman: The Killing Joke the Joker does give a bit of insight onto his origins but gives different explanations and says that if he's going to have a past it might as well be multiple choice. My personal theory is he no longer remembers his past, either through trauma or otherwise being that crazy he genuinely can't remember anymore so just makes up whatever suits the situation to get the best reaction. Like he tells the mob boss a story about an abusive father to scare him, but tries to tell Rachel a more sympathetic story.

In case it hasn’t come up, the skyhook balloon thing actually does exist, called the Fulton Extraction System. US Air Force, Navy and CIA have used it from 1965 to 96 to get important people (spies, etc) out of places without needing to land by just dropping a package with cold weather gear, harness, the balloon, and the compressed gas and then flying a modified cargo plane over. Apparently a similar thing was used even in WWII.

Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is probably one of the best acting performances we'll ever see in a superhero movie and honestly in any genre of movies.

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 I mean The Dark Knight isn't comic accurate and granted I don't always like that but it's still a great movie.

16:50 You said "I know that actor" a few seconds before this part but I choose this frame because you can clearly see that IT'S POLKA DOT MAN omgg (looked up his imdb page and yes it's the same actor). Oh wow! And he was also in ER in 2008 which is my favorite show (and the best), I'm doing a rewatch and I'm halfway through, his episode is on the last season; so I'm looking forward to watching that episode to see him there.

For the hospital scene... A hospital was gonna be destroyed anyways around the same time, so they took advantage of it and literally blew up a hospital.

Been waiting for this, good reaction

"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST STEAL FROM US AND WAKE AWAY?!" "Yeah."

I loved the Bat-Cycle, with his cape billowing behind him, especially through the shopping mall.

I watched this twice at an IMAX theatre in Sydney when I was visiting… Such a great movie! I agree… you need to watch this on the big screen with surround sound

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

I can't believe anyone just watching this masterpiece now. An absolute masterpiece that even marvel simply cannot touch!

*I got to see this movie a month early at a special premier back in 2008.* I remember going to school the next day and everyone asked me what happened, but no one believed me when I told them a few points (I didn’t spoil anything major).

This is my legit my favorite movie EVER

[@EL3V3N_]

fun fact: in the hospital scene the explosions were real and the bombs weren't supposed to pause so Heath Ledger actually improvised the part were he stops and pushes the button a few times

Wishing you a Merry Christmas🎄🎉 Seb. Sending my love from the Philippines ❤️❤️🇵🇭. Stay humble and handsome Seb. God Bless you and I hope we get to see more of your reactions.

Your dog licking your hands at the end was the cutest thing ever

[@kaiitlynross]

i still cannot believe that heath ledger’s real voice is actually very deep and very australian. he created an entirely new and unique joker voice, not just in monotone, but in varying pitch as well. he was the master of accents and i don’t know why people never acknowledge it!!

[@complex2live]

20:06 this was the plan to determine that. Earlier at the party when Beuce saved Rachel, Joker initially thought it was Harvey since Harvey was absent when Joker came in (Joker confirms this later on in the interrogation scene). Because with the truck plan, one of 2 things will happen. 1. Batman will not come to the rescue because Harvey is Batman. 2. Batman comes to rescue Harvey confirming Harvey isn't Batman.

At 4:34 when you said “he’s gone” I started dying lol

Regal Cinemas is showing this tomorrow and Thursday as part of their Film Fest that they’re doing for Christopher Nolan and I’ve got my tickets for tomorrow night.
