10 Things You Didn't Know About The DarkKnight (ReUpload)

[@ITSAHARDNUGLIFE]

I was skeptical about Heath Ledger's Joker at first until someone explained to me the kind of direction they were going with the film. Just when I started thinking of how wrong I was is when news of his passing came up. But his role of Skip in Lords Of Dogtown is what really won me over along with The Brothers Grimm. I went to see his last film Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus in theaters as well. Truly a legend that could have outdone himself several times over.

[@Eryn321]

wow. I have never seen that movie. props to u for showing me something new. may Heath rest in peace.

[@ExplorerDS6789]

Same here. When I first heard he was cast, I was disappointed. That pretty boy from Brokeback Mountain? But then I saw the movie and DAMN, he sure proved us all wrong. That guy put a whole new spin on the Joker we never thought possible.

[@AlphaGamer1981]

Yes I remember the time well, arm chair critics completely tore the whole film concept apart

[@lordcantiismyname]

Brothers Grimm gave me nightmares as a kid lol

[@jasonmerced718]

Cesar was the clown Jack was the gangster Heath was the anarchist Jared was the deranged Joaquin was the traumatized Mark was the voice... All different takes to a very complex character. They all add to the levels of who Joker is.

I remember going to the theater to see this. Was a bit skeptical about Heath Ledger as the Joker, since Batman is my absolute favorite of all time. Walked out raving, and singing his praises. Even tried to find a poster of the scene where he's sitting in the solitary cell when he begins to clap. Hands down, best Joker EVER.

[@stvbrsn]

There’s a single frame in The Killing Joke wherein the Joker looks just like Tom Waits, and that always stuck in the back of my head. So I found it very gratifying to discover that Tom was actually one of Heath’s inspirations.

[@smcgilli34]

I was cast in a small part in Heath’s last movie, “Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” which also featured Tom. It was surreal to hear Heath died while I was in wardrobe.

9:09 I like the original concept design of The Joker in the 2008’s The Dark Knight better because it’s so disturbing and can actually tell how creepy the villain is.

According to action movie star and Dark Knight and co-star Michael Jai White Heath Ledger did not go crazy he was happy to go lucky on set until they said get ready for action then you would see him wander off by himself Mumble a few Joker esk things to himself and then when the camera went action he went into Joker there was nothing wrong with his Ledger other than a mixture of unfortunate medications and depression The Joker did not kill Heath Ledger

[@stealth2951]

Couldn't agree more. It was an amazing performance. When people said to me, he couldn't get out of character. I always said you do realize, behind the camera is like 70 people at all times. He knew he was filming a movie.

A great modern take on the vampire movie starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston and the late Anton Yeltin. This movie is dripping with atmosphere and a hypnotizing soundtrack. Second, you should start doing video game 10 Things You Didn't Know, for example Super Mario Brothers.

I always thought thought Heath licking his lips all the time was intentional. After all Jokers mouth was cut and most likely damaged his salvatary glands thus causing drooling. So the constant licking would make sense. I guess it was just accidental perfection.

The hospital Joker destroyed used to be a Brach's candy factory that shut down years before. The rubble was then used as a source of gravel and later a spot to park truck trailers. The movie people also had to work with Chicago's rail system, the Metra, and Union Pacific RR because the set was near the train tracks.
