[@venom7111]

Couple of things you guys misunderstood -the guy pretending to be batman at the start, was part of a unit of cops pretending to be batman to try helping - the coin harvey gave rachel was a coin with heads on both sides, so everytime he was flipping for something, he knew it would be heads, when rachel died, one side became tails so it became real coin flips - bruce was trying to save rachel, but joker told him the opposite places, so if he went for harvey, he would have saved rachel, basically whichever choice batman wanted to make, it would end up being the opposite. Joker always wins. (Edit: just got to the part where ash explains it) This movie is in my top 3 of all time, so glad i watched this in the cinemas as a kid

[@guaddv]

Heath Ledger's performance is so iconic you almost put aside Aaron Eckhart's truly scary performance as Two-Face.

[@christofferjenzen78]

Almost... but not quite. Dude is sympathetic and Eckhart haa this decency about him that really makes his fall from sanity that much sadder.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Maybe for this take on Two-Face. To me, he's not the definitive Two-Face. Hell, he doesn't even have the split-personality.

[@Can_O_Crayola]

@@fynnthefox9078 It's the best we're probably going to get. Two-Face, when you actually step back and look at him, is a goofy-ass character with some pretty outdated perspectives on mental health and split-personality disorder. Eckhart's portrayal is a much better way to do it. He still embodies the "Apollo, the golden boy" fallen savior of Gotham role, and still maintains his obsessions with chance and his coin without bringing in offensive mental health takes. Dude was already a little unhinged from the beginning, and finally snapped from the stress into becoming homicidal.

[@passionsquietrage]

Agreed. The only thing I wish had been done differently was how Dent became Two-Face, they had the perfect opportunity to do it in the courtroom scene and didn't do it. I realize the way it happened was part of the story, but still.

[@Metal-Spark]

46:54 - just a quick note for you and Hannah since it seems like you both missed this: Dent's coin was double sided, it had two Heads rather than a Heads and a Tails. So when he says "I make my own luck" he really meant it. He wasn't ever going to kill that man earlier in the film because the coin can never be a Tails. It's only after he becomes Two-Face that the coin has any real risk. It's still a double sided coin in this bar scene, but now while there are still two Heads (or two faces) one of them is burnt and the other is clean. If it lands on the burnt side, he kills.

[@marcusisahooper]

I came here to say this!

[@tenjenk]

plus in the hospital scene, batman leaves it there for him as a token of mourning but it ends up sinking him further into his later mania when he finds it and just a moment thinks that rachel survived and left it there, only to find the other side burnt.

[@HaienTwitch]

"I make my own luck"

[@tmc31390]

Well said! I’ve noticed a lot of reactors missed that subtle detail, not just Ash and Hannah.

[@randomhockeyguy9149]

Harvey's coin was heads on both sides. Once you know that, if you go back and listen to every time he flipped the coin, he always said "Heads" would be a good outcome, and "Tails" would be a bad outcome...even when Batman stopped him...because Harvey knew that "Tails" was never going to happen with a double-headed coin. That all changed once he became Two-Face. The dark/burnt head meant he was going to do something bad.

[@talljohnsparky]

I’m always surprised that not may people pick up on this little detail about the two sided coin. Harvey always knew what he was doing.

[@tbtb771]

Yeah, kinda crucial to understand that. He was never going to kill that man in the alley

[@LucianDevine]

@Daniel-ik7tu That kind of dedication is just so fun and inspiring, not to mention rare in the movie industry. It lets those closeup shots and long takes exist, because they don't have to cut the scene to hell to hide stunt doubles. I'm not saying I want all the actors to be willing to take a real and physical beating, but it's nice to see that there are some that are still willing to take the craft so seriously to give such iconic performances.

[@KyleJustRuns]

By the way, a lot of Joker’s movements and lines are improvised, many of which made it into the movie. One of my favorites is the hospital blow up scene. The whole explosion was meant to go off without a pause. It didn’t, and they only had one take to get it right, so Ledger just did what he felt the Joker would actually do if his bombs didn’t all explode as planned and it is just perfect.

[@marcusisahooper]

That’s not true actually! They programmed the pause intentionally to make sure Heath had enough time to clear the explosion! He did ham it up though!

[@jw70467]

It isn't just a 'joke' - it also denies you a reason why he hates AND it is also a commentary, that, combined with the "Some men just want to watch the world burn" is a reminder that you cannot apply your morality to those without it. Some men just want to watch the world burn - so you have to deny it to them.

By killing Rachel, who they both loved, he could get both of them to break at the same time. All of the other stuff was just distractions for the message he wanted people to know; that we all have the capacity of becoming someone like him.

[@5upreme_K1ng]

46:12 Reason why he didn't kill the Joker was because even if he did try to shoot him, it wouldn't have worked. If y'all play back that scene again and look closely at Joker's hands, you can see that while Harvey has him at gun point, his finger was on the hammer pin of the pistol. So even if Harvey pulled the trigger, the hammer wouldn't strike and therefore it wouldn't shoot. So essentially, the Joker is giving Harvey the "illusion of choice", making him think that he has complete control over the situation when in reality the Joker was in control the entire time. It's such a fine and subtle detail but it really brings more depth to the scene as well as Joker's character. This movie is such a masterpiece.

[@cantabrian1009]

Jokers multiple stories around his scars keeps the mystique. Kind of makes his story have darker depths. Also, that chase scene never fails to give me goosebumps. The silence as the truck flips over, Joker stumbling along whilst firing the gun, the tension build as Batman fights against the part of himself that wants to kill the Joker. Timeless. Harvey Dent's decline into what he became is also a little nod to the author Alexander Solzhenitsyn (although probs not intentional) - “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”. Viktor Frankl also had this experience with his time in the concentration camps where he noted good deeds from some of the guards.

Hannah (for once) actually missed a crucial detail when she says Harvey always had it in him to kill. Prior to the explosion his coin was double-headed so he was in control of his actions

[@stevieboy666]

This is not to say that Harvey didn’t have an aggressive edge to him as he clearly did, but the Joker manipulated this into lethal force

[@Zentron]

Christian Bale's Batman voice was actually not as gruff when he was performing his role, it was edited in post-production to make it sound like this! Another very interesting film starring Heath is Brothers Grimm, I'd recommend watching that at some point!

[@lartisteautravail]

Man I had such a crush on Heath back then. He was especially great in this and Brokeback. Stars like him burn so bright. I’m still sad we lost his.

[@ceebee2]

That *”LOOK AT ME”* is still one of the scariest phrases I’ve ever heard from a villain.

[@nineteen96]

41:41 Hannah's "Why?!" had me dead 😂

[@Justinconan]

It’s so amazing to watch people that never read the back story in the comics react to the movies. The old heads knew Harvey would turn into Two Face. They knew about the coin and how he turned into a character that was torn in two pieces. It’s just such a shame they killed him off so quickly, and even more of a shame that Heath passed away. They had to change all of their plans for the trilogy. I wonder what would have happened if he was still with us. RIP Heath.

[@CaptainAmercia]

I actually prefer Batman Begins as a Batman movie but still really enjoy Dark Knight as a film. I personally just never cared for how Nolan tried to "ground" Batman in this film and Dark Knight Rises. Gotham was turned into basically Chicago lacking any personality and Batman himself visually was striped from some of his look for example making the Bat symbol less visible and making the suit much slimmer. To me you can ground a character, of course that's fine but that doesn't equal removing personality and visual design just makes it boring and dull. Also hated Bales Batman voice, worse part of these films and I just can't see Bale as a good Batman. Amazing Bruce Wayne though but I never understood people's love of him as Batman. This is where The Batman shined for me it's tone, depiction of Gotham City, much better than what we got in Nolan's later Batman films. Even the TV show Gotham had a much better depiction of the city, even featured blimps so I hope that's something we get in Gunn's new DCU Gotham City. And Robert was just a better Batman, Bale the better Bruce Wayne but that could change in the future once we actually see Robert as Bruce Wayne more.

[@zelvin5147]

Fun fact, they flipped an actual semi for that shot with joker driving the truck. that is not CGI

[@ThePsychoAnon]

I love the behind the scenes of heath ledger skateboarding in full costume doing kick flips over Batman 😂

[@TheMitchZone]

46:00 I think I heard somewhere that this part right here was another brilliantly improvised moment by the late & great GOAT, Heath Ledger! 🔥🐐🔥

[@tfred4126]

This is my favorite movie of all time! Heath absolutely gives the best performance ever put to film! RIP to a legend

[@matthewbickel3967]

Dent was never capable of killing earlier in the movie. When he gives Rachel the coin, you realize it’s a two headed coin so he always knew what he was going to do. Now one side of the coin is burnt.

[@ACaacc]

Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since this LEGENDARY PIECE OF ART came out!🤯

[@brendanedwards92]

The part with the joker and Rachael at the dinner was also improvised, her react was real and actually freaked out

[@AlonsoTherion]

This movie is so well written, all the lines are legendary

[@CJ-vq5tg]

literally one of the best if not best movie ever created, beginning to end, masterpiece, acting, script.....everything.

[@jobinmcgooch]

I have been waiting for you guys to react to this one! Such a great movie. It goes without saying that Heath Ledger is beyond tremendous. So quotable and an instant classic. This one is GOATED. 🤘🏽

[@dabluedevil1000]

03:26 "Is he not like an agent or something"? It's funny how Hannah thought the bank manager was an agent when he actually played an Agent in Prison Break. XD

[@dannyb9209]

I got this on DVD at the end of a nightshift...6 in the morning.....I was hangin out my arse....put it on as something to watch while I fell asleep..... I was sat there about 9 o clock wide awake and gobsmacked.....then I watched it again...then I went sleep....fuck me what a film!

[@BJBee]

Lol. Loved your story

[@davidhoffer2542]

So glad I finally got to see this in theaters, it elevated this movie to one of my favorites. The first half is immaculately written, where literally every line furthers either character development or plot development or is a setup for something that pays off in the second half. Pure cinema.

[@ShaddoII]

One of my all time favorite movies... Bless Hannah and her reactions. Made me relive this movie like it was the first time watching

[@blammular]

7:14 THANK YOU. Cannot be said enough. Bless you.

[@eliocosmos]

Awesome reaction. Ash was losing his mind and Hannah yelped every 5 mins 😂

[@Jskew]

Love the reactions. This is a masterpiece. I wish Heath was alive to receive his academy award. If you listen to "Batman" as he leaves the police station he tells Gordon he is going after Rachel so he fully believes he is going to save her. Jack Nicholson actually warned Heath about taking on the mental aspect of the Joker while he was filming. Much love and keep on J.

[@kabamaru_Iga_No]

Ash I recently discovered your channel, I’m currently watching all your videos with Hannah and I’m loving them. Making people laugh is a gift and both of you guys are blessed with it. I love your reactions and your chemistry and I strongly believe you could do together other content too successfully. Keep doing what you do and if you ever feel discouraged, remember there are people who really appreciate your work. Love you guys from Greece.

[@42Mrgreenman]

48:45 There is a comic series where Joker reforms and goes back to being Jack Napier by means of a drug that suppresses the joker toxin and becomes a genuine "White knight"...but he ended up reverting in the end (Because of his addiction to the drug)...as it seems with all comic continuity...

[@bibiabdul9436]

You guys should definetely watch Heat (1995) from Micheal Mann which had a big influence on The Dark Knight et Nolan's movies in general.

[@commanderkruge]

God, this is such a good movie. I love how they made both the Joker and Twoface actually scary. I mean PROPER scary. Especially this Joker - you don't want to hang around a person like this, because they might turn against you at any time for no reason. This version is a true power of chaos. And both Joker and Twoface are played by actors who really, REALLY can carry the weight of their characters. They're believable in this movie. It's always a two sided sword if someone modernizes an old story - it can work or it can fail. Here it's done right. PS: And I still LOVE the 1960's Batman with his silly depiction of all the characters, based on the tone the comics had back then. Actually - I dare say that you two should do yourself the favour and watch the movie made for that series - with Adam West as Batman. It is - in a completely different way - as awesome as this movie!

[@Metaldjwill2]

Love this guys sinister laughter/look when he knows the lines/scenes are coming up makes this JUST as enjoyable!!

[@Kovy2003]

40:52 Hannah Looks Shocked When She Saw Rachel's Death

[@LeSteeler]

Bale’s Batman voice is legendary, he’s great ofc

[@Setzer777]

"And there's idiots that think The Batman is better than this. SHUT UP!" - You just got another sub.

[@imetzl9340]

Its almost impossible to see Heath under the makeup. Even when you look for it, and considering he wasnt American, the voice, the acting, it was all perfect. What a masterpiece

[@karlfleming7182]

Ha, Heath Ledger was not a Brit he was Australian..

[@gregorygant4242]

@@karlfleming7182 Best portrayal of the Joker , hell, one of the best performances on the big screen ever , period ! Iconic performance by Health Ledger !

[@sathvamp1]

4:42 - I know it's one of Ash's famous lines but I still thought "Did he really say 'inject this in my veins' " THAT soon after "Requiem"? LOL

[@Gnomojo]

I kind of like it when Ash has already seen the movie and Hannah hasn’t. It’s almost as fun watching him watching her. I don’t feel so creepy watching couples react. Cuz we’re all the same.

[@RicardoMeansKing]

hanna has a glass obsession, any movie, anytime "the glass NOOOO"

[@APG34]

Seeing Cillian as Scarerow makes me think that you both should watch " Peaky (fookin) Blinders" together would be great its a slow burn but would be an awesome watch.

[@slchance8839]

lol. I cant say Peaky Blinders without the "fookin," either. I thought I was the only one!

[@vdoggydogg3922]

I almost need subtitles watching these guys..it's required for peaky blinders.

[@Objective_Piece8285]

"Let's not blow...this out of proportion" that's one of the best puns ever that most people just glance over.

[@rebourne86]

Ash, get The Dark Knight Rises watched with Hannah 🙌❤️
