THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) | First Time Watching | Reaction

[@Omne118]

It's a very widely repeated myth that the hospital explosions didn't go off as intended and Ledger just stayed in character. This is false. The scene was specifically planned and rehearsed with the delay in the explosions, to allow for a single shot of Ledger himself walking from the building before it's destroyed. Everything happened as intended.

[@Dorsalfinsky]

When they blew up the hospital, I don’t remember anyone freaking out or calling 911 reporting a building exploding. It seemed like the movie already had major hype and everyone in Chicago knew about it and the explosion and were kind of stoked by the whole thing, like when The Blues Brothers was filming there.

[@jorgeguillenalatriste4316]

The explotion wasnt filmed in Chicago, it was filmed in the UK at an abandoned lot.​@@Dorsalfinsky

[@cbretschneider]

But Heath Ledger's performance in that scene was still improvised

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

The dark knight is the greatest superhero movie of all time

[@Oliver.Sonne.Official]

The Snyder Cut ??????

[@williamberry9013]

The Joker has said in the comics, "If I must have an origin story, I prefer it be multiple choice.

[@guanyin19]

The Joker is probably the greatest and most iconic villain of all time, in any comic franchise. His theatrics and unpredictability, while simply wanting to watch the world burn due to the exhilaration of it all, are what makes him truly terrifying.

[@DudeLongcouch]

Watching this in the theater was a transcendent experience. Every time Joker was on screen, everybody just sat in rapt attention. We all knew we were watching something special, a "greatest of the generation" type of performance that immediately achieved legendary status.

[@kaojinn]

Heath's performance here is absolutely unrecognizable from his other famous roles (Brokeback Mountain, 10 Things I Hate About You, A Knight's Tale). He manages to absolutely steal every scene hes in, because hes so unpredictable. Its just mesmerizing. Heath was having trouble with his health after the filming of this movie, and ended up accidentally overdosing on prescribed medication. Its unknown if it was truly intentional, since he may have accidently taken them too frequently, or perhaps had a bad reaction between different medications. All we know is that we lost him just as his career was about to launch into the stratosphere.

[@gettygermany]

Actually: He didn't overdosed, he mixed medication that wasn't allowed to be mixed, which is a core problem of the unorganized chaos in the US healthcare system. It should be put out more clearly that this was a TOTALLY AVOIDABLE death, that is happening thousands of times in the US cause of the lack of organization and structure around a patient medication, which is a direct result of not having universal healthcare. RIP Heath o>

[@jorgeguillenalatriste4316]

His wife killed him, that's always my bet.

[@Saboteur709]

"...it is still not known how Ledger obtained the oxycodone and hydrocodone in the lethal drug combination that killed him."

[@Scyth0r]

9:11 - Have a look at the bookshelves in the background of Dent's office. Half the books are neatly organised, half are a chaotic mess. Joker didn't create Two-Face, he showed what was always hidden underneath. Glad you liked the movie. Personally I consider this the peak of 'realistic' Batman. Music, cinematography, acting, all are nearly flawless.

[@thebkg]

Never noticed this or heard about it. Awesome detail! I'd always assumed he was in the middle of moving into a new office.

[@Scyth0r]

​@@thebkgI think he is, yes, he's a relatively new DA. It's why that detail is so subtle, it blends right into the scene.

[@thebkg]

Inna this movie is in everyone's Top 3 Superhero movies of all time. Where in the 3 is highly debated by many. Lol! There's another special detail that I didn't notice until I saw the 3rd movie. My theater ran an all day marathon of all 3 movies with the last one being it's midnight premier. As I watched the first 2 I discovered something I hadn't noticed before. The Title of each movie comes at the End of the movie, not the beginning. And the timing of each has significance. In this one Gordan says the words to his son "a Dark Knight" and immediately the Title Card Batman the Dark Knight is displayed. Another example of the Nolan Brothers being amazing story tellers. Christopher Nolan is the director, and his brother Jonathon was the primary Writer, though Christopher and several others contributed.

[@renedavids6154]

The best Joker ever. Ledger was so believable. And this is also the best in this trilogy and for me the best Batman movie ever. Altough Nicholson was great (as always) in his Joker role.

[@petewilson4395]

Originally the Bat-Mobile has been a car. In the graphic novels which the trilogy is loosely based on, the Bat-Mobile is more of a tank.

[@commonstragedy]

The coin had heads on both sides, so when people thought Dent was leaving things to chance, he wasn't. However, after the fire, one of the sides was burned black - kind of like Harvey.

[@InnaSoloTV]

Ohh that's so smart!

[@erikvaid2560]

Yes that's the Batmobile, and yes the vigilantes are trying to help him.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Rachel Dawes was played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, who was indeed in Donny Darko. Her brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, played Donny Darko.

[@AHYL88]

The Batmobile was too heavily damaged from that RPG it took; the back is its weak spot as that's where the engine is. It self-destructed after releasing the Bat-Pod portion, most likely to not let anyone else use what's left of the Batmobile that got left behind.

[@BlackStudies]

Thanks for the reaction. You're not the only one who was unnerved by The Joker. The scene where he crashes the party for Dent was the first time Maggie Gyllenhaal ("Rachel Dawes") had seen Heath Ledger in full makeup and in character. Her reaction was real. She was genuinely terrified of him. So much so, that the director (who anticipated this) gave her a "safe word" to say so that they could immediately cut the scene if she got too uncomfortable.

[@Sherman1fan]

It's a thing that Batman's cowl (historically) doesn't let him turn his head, something that in the real world would be be a factor.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Some men just want to watch the world burn. (Later) That bandit from the forest, did you catch him? Yes. How? We burned the forest.

[@danieldawson4937]

Great reaction Inna, thanks for sharing it! I imagine it would have taken some time to edit to get past the Copyright checks. Good call editing out the music in some parts and keeping the dialogue, although it really emphasises how much the music adds to the scenes! Thanks again.

[@backtothewoodshed9000]

It’s not only the best in trilogy, it’s arguably the best movie ever made by a long shot. I can watch it a trillion more times and never get sick of it

[@dstrong86bluecoffee]

INNA 17:40 -- AIRPLANE SKYHOOK (BATMAN DARK KNIGHT catching and flying the Chinese bad guy away from the building by airplane with a wire cable). SKYHOOK is a way to lift / rescue someone FROM THE GROUND INTO THE BACK OF A FLYING PLANE. The person on the ground is wearing a harness which is attached to a WIRE CABLE TIED TO A LARGE BALLOON. The SKYHOOK from the airplane catches the balloon cable with the person attached, who is then pulled into the back of the airplane. It has been used since the 1960's by the United States Air Force, Navy, Special Forces, and CIA Central Intelligence Agency. The Vietnam war movie GREEN BERET (1968) WITH JOHN WAYNE has a scene in the movie where an enemy army officer is kidnapped and lifted away into a US Air Force plane using the Skyhook system. (THANKS - Dave Strong)

[@rumrunner23]

Another great reaction! Glad you are doing more movies. Special appearance by your dog walking in the background was funny.

[@robberblood]

This was iconic!

[@UpLateGeek]

Heath Ledger's Joker is possibly the best villain I've ever seen. He's so unhinged, and yet he was always one step ahead. Almost all of his schemes were planned and executed perfectly, right up to the point where Batman finally caught up with him. But even when he was caught, he still had that one last move, Harvey Dent. The Joker was such a well-written character in this movie, but it's Ledger's performance that really makes you believe he's real, and he's absolutely insane! I think you felt it too, the visceral shiver down your spine. That's why this movie is my favourite superhero movie of all time. None of the others come close.

[@apocalypsezero]

The one thing I haven't seen noted in the comments.... Harvey's Coin. Before the explosion/Rachel's death, the coin was an unblemished double head coin. (one side burnt after...) So all the "luck" comments align and make sense, even points to Harvey's sense of justice and such. And is another thing twisted after his transformation.

[@futuramayeah]

inna, there is a tv show called Gotham Knights , it is set after batman's death and focuses on his adopted son after he finds out that his father was the batman

[@irvplotnik89]

it was also the name of the uk version of The New Batman Adventures, and the direct to video animated anthology film that’s set in the nolan verse

[@paulalexandredumasseauvan2357]

what a GREAT REACTION! 😁 so GLAD you enjoyed this movie! 👍☺

[@InnaSoloTV]

thank you!

[@roden706]

there is a joker quote that goes "if I am going to have a backstory I prefer it to be multiple choice"

[@the_proteus_void]

I love this movie. And, hi Inna!! 🎉❤

[@slchance8839]

Its my opinion that the Joker custom-designs his origin story to terrify the person he's talking to. 1.)His origin was about a nightmarish father when talking to mobster Gambol, b/c, statistically, Gambol probably came from a fatherless broken home which helped direct him to a life of crime and in his heart of hearts Gambol would have liked to have a father. Moral of Joker's story to the gangster: "fear your dreams., son" 2.)His origin about a woman robbed of her beauty which destroys her marriage was for Rachel, a woman beautiful enough to engage a good and important man. If she loses her beauty will her life be destroyed, too? If so, her beauty is her cage and time is her jailer. Moral of Joker's story to the girl: "fear your dreams, pretty lady."

[@vertoatrum]

Thank you for being one of the few people who watch DK for the first time after actually watching Batman Begins. Often people skip BB and go right to this movie and act confused or they don't feel the impacts of certain characters or actions. Great video!

[@slchance8839]

The two bald boat detonator guys were mirror images of each other: same but opposite. Both bald, but one was short and white and well spoken and the other was big and black with bad grammar. One wore the suit of his success in society, handsomely rewarded and the other wore the uniform of his failure in society, cruelly punished and cast aside. TWO FACES of the same coin. And in the end, good vs evil, pillar vs. convict, came to the same conclusion: life not death.

[@timlanteigne298]

Two Face is a famous comic book villain, a great adversary of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

[@ERC641]

They recasted Rachel because she got married to Tom Cruise and his cult didn't want her in anymore movies. When the Joker confronted her at Bruce Waynes place the actress didn't know what was going to happen. You can see her trying to look around and look away she was trying to get the director to explain the scene. But the director didn't say anything the just kept filming. Great way to get an actual emotional response

[@baz0348]

Love the Christopher Nolan trilogy his brother Johnathan Nolan wrote them one of best writers imho when it comes to crime and espionage and secret agent stuff he also wrote TV series person of interest which is still one of my favourite shows.

[@jaimecruz5199]

Great reaction Inna, you must see the third part The Dark Knight Rises, it also has many surprises.

[@InnaSoloTV]

Thank you! Planning out watching it soon 😊

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Batman movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@InnaSoloTV]

Thank you!!

[@callmeshaggy5166]

The batmobile in this series is called _The Tumbler_

[@gabrieljohnston-c5d]

Imagine if they would have made a Batman beyond movie that takes place in the same universe as The dark Knight movie. Potentially have a lot of Batman beyond villains but also have villains like James Gordon Junior.

[@demoncyborg8700]

Heath Ledger as the Joker is a Teenage High School face paint dude trying to be menacing

[@chrisbowlby9640]

Believe it or not you can argue the 3rd one is even better

[@commonstragedy]

It's got the best plot twist.

[@InnaSoloTV]

will watch it soon!

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

Heath and Brandon are birds of a feather. How so? Watch The Crow. The upside down Joker is the Tarot card the HANGED MAN. The name of Eric Draven's band in The Crow... HANGMAN'S JOKE

[@commonstragedy]

Yes, it definitely qualifies as the batmobile! By far the best one, roo.

[@themonster3677]

Only heath ledger ❤❤

[@InnaSoloTV]

a true icon!

[@iclutchrooftops5524]

i just noticed that that guy has a 32 ACP smg, who in the hell would use a 32 ACP against batman

[@spacemanspiff3052]

Wonderful reaction to an AMAZING movie!!!

[@GhostWatcher2024]

You should go back and watch the 1989 Batman movie, just for variety.

[@InnaSoloTV]

I will first finish the Nolan Trilogy :)

[@aasillak]

take a shot each time she says: iconic

[@InnaSoloTV]

The hangover would be ✨ iconic ✨

[@canocohen4218]

Great reaction 😊

[@InnaSoloTV]

Thank you! 😊

[@brandonedwards4517]

After half his face is burning acid; that's is how Harvey becomes Two Face-Considered Batman's 2nd biggest villain Yeah, though they call it the Tumbler in Nolan's movies, the car (or tank) is usually called the Batmobile Many think The Dark Knight is the best of the Dark Knight Trilogy and one of the greatest comic book movies of all time I hope you'll watch and react of the Dark Knight Rises and hopefully some of the other Batman movies Robert Pattinson's The Batman and/or Batman 1989 & Batman Returns from 1992. Both played by Michael Keaton & directed by Tim Burton

[@trentyazzie5794]

The next night for you and 2 months for us!😭

[@futuramayeah]

inna, did you watch the 1989 batman movies yet?

[@thebkg]

She already said she hardly knew anything about Batman prior to watching Batman Begins, so obviously she hasn't. I'm sure her Patreon has it listed among their recommendations.

[@quieness]

YESSS

[@kibagami74]

I only have two problems with The Dark Knight. 1. Replacing Katie Homes with Maggie Gyllenhaal to play Rachel was most unfortunate, Katie was very good in Batman Begins I thought. Katie was pregnant at the time, it's just too bad Nolan didn't try some creative filming and keep her in it. And 2. The Gotham of Batman Begins was much better, this stand-in "Gotham" is just Chicago and lacks that not-quite-this-reality that they got in Batman Begins. So a lot of Americans see the Dark Knight and it's just littered with Chicago landmarks. That said, it's a brilliant film.

[@bpora01]

I'm batman

[@niloydutta6935]

the soundtrack with the speech and dialogue in ths end is just stunning... also your eyes are stunning 😃

[@kobewankenobi248]

Jodie Comer has a KZbin channel?!

[@Darth_Nihilus_Sith_Lord]

❤❤❤❤

[@lacasa3514]

The first half of the dark knight rises is decent, but the last half is undeniably bad. I think Nolan was under pressure to make a third instalment because the dark knight was such an iconic film. You can tell he didn't really have a third story in him, it just unwinds into a tiresome boring convoluted mess with a surprisingly bad and unsatisfying final showdown.

[@MikeBrown7799B]

Hello Inna, nice to see you!😊 Great to hear your unique accent.😉 Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel) also has an actor brother, Jake Gyllenhaal. Yep, Maggie was in "Donnie Darko". Ledger's performance was so strong as the Joker he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor posthumously!🏆 The Batmobile first appeared in the original 60s TV series. Of course, it looked a lot different. If Batman did not take the blame all the criminals Harvey put away could be overturned and released. EXCELLENT reactions to this very well made and acted film, Inna!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations on your upcoming 10K subscribers!!!👍🏻

[@JohnMartinezIII]

In this part of the video 50:20 - 50:28 did you fart? Or was that the chair. 😮

[@InnaSoloTV]

It was the chair 😂😂

[@BRTibbs79]

After the 3rd movie you should react to Pete Holmes' "Badman" comedy sketch regarding Batman and the characters of the 3rd movie. Absolutely hilarious! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZOleYawhN2jasUsi=6IDNlC-t64EO20zc

[@frankducky6130]

I have a crush on u😍

[@johnscott4196]

Honey, remember, in real life, criminals nearly always betray each other in one way or another. And sometimes that includes killing.

[@jlhanlon1980]

Comic book fan here, with Batman being one of my all time favorites. I saw this movie 2x in theaters and used to love it a lot, but over time, I've come to realize that it is not a really good movie when it comes to Batman. Batman would never take the blame for killing 5 people and go into hiding for 8 years. They could've easily blamed the murders on the Joker, not only that, but Ramirez was not killed by Dent, so she could run her mouth about what really happened. Finally Ledger played a great psychopath in make-up, but he did not play a comic accurate Joker. Without the jokes, gadgets, and gags he's not the Joker. If you disagree with me then you are a comic book movie fan not a comic book fan and I really don't give a damn about your opinions.

Hi 🫶

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

And you didn't upvote? Shame on you!

[@johnscott4196]

The backstory for the joker was the weak point for this movie imo I much prefer the original story from Michael Keaton's movies. But we can always just pretend he was lying about this story

[@abeartheycallFozzy]

What backstory? He kept telling different things he'd made up.

[@plothole181]

That wasn't the original story. The chemicals part maybe, but it is pretty much a tradition that we don't know who the Joker was before he was the Joker. All stories about who he was before he went into the chemicals are completely non-canon, which honestly makes the backstory bit in this movie more true to the character than the Jack Napier origin was in the 1989 movie.

[@dstrong86bluecoffee]

INNA ** THE BATMAN TV SERIES (USA 1966 - 1968) with Batman and ROBIN was made FOR KIDS and was a copy of the Batman COMIC BOOKS with Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Cat Woman kzbin.info?search_query=BATMAN+TV+Series --- Maybe you could have a PATREON POLL and decide to watch some of the Batman TV episodes ? But the TV BATMAN HAD A BETTER LOOKING BATMOBILE !! (THANKS - Dave Strong)
