I read somewhere that Maggie wasn’t aware of how Heath was going to play the joker. She was actually terrified during that scene with him holding the knife to her face and telling the story of his “wife”

[@SofaandChill]

That makes total sense Amy, she seemed terrified to be honest lol

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

Michael Caine also wasn't prepared beforehand, and even was supposed to have a line when Joker steps into the room but was so surprised that he forgot to talk and they just kept filming.

[@kingscorpion7346]

people have tried to debunk that, talking about the actors having to practice their lines together and all before shooting. I had to tell them that that works for practicing for a stage play. movies are made entirely different, where the actors don't always practice together before filming. I have been in a couple of indie films myself, and I never met my co-stars until the day we met on the set and started filming! it just depends on people's schedules. I knew my lines, they knew their lines, the camera pointed, started rolling, and we were acting our parts.

[@amybaumgartner9380]

And so was Michael Caine. He hadn’t even seen him in makeup when he came into the scene and Michael actually forgot his lines. It actually worked well with him being speechless so they kept it in

[@toxicrevenuegaming9415]

Also, he wasn't supposed to grab her. She was actually terrified.

heath wore prosthetic for the scares on his face and when he would move his mouth to talk overtime the prosthetic glue would dry and fall off making him go to the trailer and spend 20 minutes putting them back on and heath got tired of that so what heath decided to do was lick his lips alot this way would keep the moisture in place and would not fall off but also add a weird and creepy vibe to his character as well.

[@Noggahide]

@19:40 the actress didn't know Heath Ledger was going to grab her face or do any of that, it was also the 1st time she saw him in the make-up, her fear was genuine, you can even see her look over to her director with that "WTF" look on her face

[@janurbanek8577]

Yep, then she went with the flow like a badass.

[@MKF30]

It comes with the job sometimes, other examples of this was IT the movie, fun fact the kids none of them knew what Skarsgaard would look like in the make up til they started filming their first scenes. They all admitted this in interviews and that they were all freaked out lol. Sometimes not knowing info or what someone will look like adds to the realism in the movie.

[@kevinmatthew1050]

Probably the greatest comic movie ever. Christopher Nolan is unreal and Heath Ledger gave an all time performance.

[@Realmediamashup]

A movie with Heath Ledger that is a coming of age story about the kids that made skateboarding what it is today. Lords of Dogtown. True classic!

the joker switching the addresses was genius

[@shauntempley9757]

Yup. A Joker move from the comics. He does that all the time.

[@mlledarcel]

a trickster just gives you the address? I would have immediately assumed he switched them, love it, true to his character, but I knew in theater when I first saw it, the Joker is like a choatic evil DnD character

[@PeebzAviation]

@@mlledarcel it’s easy to say that looking back but if you’re in batman’s situation you’re not taking the risk of going to the opposite address

[@mlledarcel]

@PeebzAviation hahaha honestly knowing me I'd 50/50 on both in my brain and think for too long, I'd be in the station still when the barrels were blown

[@DocMicrowave]

It wasn't specified, but I always figured the people on the boats had the remote to their own bombs. If they activated it, they would have blown themselves up, not the other boat. Seem like a very Jokery thing to do. Just like switching the addresses.

[@christopherwichman7968]

The Joker tossing out that glass of champagne represents how he is portraying this crazy, fun loving, pyscho, but he dumps it out because behind it all is a calculating mind with a plan.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Does he really look like a guy with a plan?

[@johnmccarthy3111]

I read that he licked his lips like that because of the prosthetic that made the scars, but still very much added to the character! Also, a fun fact, the older gentleman who confronts the Joker at the party before Rachel steps in is a US Senator, Patrick Leahy, who is a huge Batman fan

[@ottoswanson6664]

19:26 I LOVED Your reaction to that part 🔥🔥 Maggie Gyllenhaal was NOT acting here I read somewhere. Nolan said to keep rolling because Ledger never broke character

[@amybaumgartner9380]

I think that is one of the first times I’ve actually seen you momentarily speechless at the end of a movie reaction! One of my friends called me when they first announced they were updating the Batman movies. Not because I was a huge Batman fan but because I’ve been a HUGE Christian Bale fan since he was 12 years old. I’d talked about him forever and she knew I’d be excited over his casting. THIS movie came out and I KNEW Heath had stolen the movie from Christian. He was truly amazing in this role!

[@crustytaco123456789]

One little fact about Rachel's death is that when the joker tells batman where her and dent are, he actually switched the addresses to basically make him chose which one to kill instead of save

[@93deadpool]

Given how much the dad was giggling like a little schoolgirl through this, you'd think Christopher Nolan directed the greatest super-hero comedy flick.

[@abc123tiktok]

The great thing Nolan did with Batman franchise is he took out the super natural but very much stay true to the soul of the comics. Scarecrow was terrifying villain, Ra's Al Ghul though lesser known villain before movies was Batman's true evil counter part, just as gifted and dangerous. Two Face was finally given respect he deserve with his fascinating back story and how he became what he is today. And Joker always being the foil to Batman that no matter how many times they clash the Joker wins because he will never stop and Batman will never kill him. And with the last movie coming up Bane is finally feared for good reason in comics as one of the few villains that actual beat Batman.

[@Rvbeus]

What a joy to watch a father son duo experiece the dark knight for the first time!! My sons 4 and i cant wait to watch this with him when hes a teenager. Great reacrion subbed 👍

[@robling1937]

That extract method Batman used in Hong Kong (with the balloon that gets grabbed by a plane) was a real extraction method developed in the 50s for the CIA called the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system (STARS), also known as Skyhook. The CIA and different US special ops units used it as a method of extraction deep behind enemy lines. It seems a bit far fetched, so finding out it was real and actually used is just kinda wild to me lol

[@DocMicrowave]

It wasn't made clear, but I always figured that the people on the ferries had the remote control to their own bombs. If they activated it, they would have blown themselves up, not the other boat. Seemed like it would be a very Jokery thing to do. Just like switching the addresses of Rachel and Harvey.

@@robmartin525 There's a reason Keaton didn't want to be in those films

[@SugerFreeJazz]

The spilling the champagne is one of the best details. Topped only maybe by the jokers finger on the fireng pin while holding Harvey's gun to his head. By spilling the champagne it lets him look like he's so relaxing he's drinking on the job and so wild He's spilling it everywhere, but in reality its a way to stay stone cold sober. Its also mirrored perfectly by bruce spilling his champagne off the edge of the bulding earlier.

[@apkelly01]

Fantastic film, but you have got to see this in IMAX. I fly to London to the BFI IMAX everytime they have this on show. Last year they had a movie marathon with the Dark Knight trilogy. Fantastic movie. Heath Ledger only got to see the first 6 mins of the opening bank robbery scene. He loved it so much he asked to see it again 😊

[@AubreyAuthor]

If what I read was accurate, the part where the hospital detonator was malfunctioning was improv.

[@ryantyler9677]

I believe Nolan discredited that. I don't remember where exactly I heard him bring it up but I think he said the explosion was meant to delay for safety reasons to prevent accidental injury.

[@RogerMarket]

Well, it was NOT accurate. ☺️The pause was meticulously planned, and they practiced the scene 12 times before they shot it.

[@3twelve206]

[@Blackferret66]

Michael Caine was legitimately freaked out by the Joker's video where he kills the fake Batman.

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

"Why do I think Tommy Lee Jones??" Because you're right. Tommy Lee Jones played Harvey Dent/Two-face in one of the Tim Burton Batman movies.

[@andreworeilly5676]

In the Joel Schumacher films, not the Tim Burton ones. His were very different in terms of quality to the first 2 😂

[@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: "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: "fear your dreams, pretty lady."

[@JonathanSparks-ht4vq]

[@haleyalbert4177]

Hey guys, you both are awesome!! A fun fact for you there is a video where a psychiatrist who specializes in dealing with dangerous people watched this movie and the part where Joker tells the story of the scars in the pool hall with his father the psychiatrist is completely certain this is 100% a genuine story the way Joker looked up as he’s speaking shows signs of remembering something painful and intense!! RIP Health he was the best

[@Loptr-17]

This doesn't make that story necessarily true... maybe the Joker was simply a very good actor, just like Heath

[@francisalbert1799]

I remember I was one of the many who was scratching their head wondering why Nolan picked Ledger to be Joker. Once the first trailer was released we couldn’t have been more wrong. I was too young to appreciate the work Ledger had already done. Wonderful actor and I wish we could have seen more from him. RIP

[@TheKyfe]

He didn't really improvise the lines, but all of the mannerisms and physicality were made up by Heath Ledger.

[@Yorion33]

The reason Heath licked like that was actually because the prosthetic on his face wound keep falling off, and he would lick to put it back in place, and it became part of his character.

[@SnyderVerso]

You need to watch man of steel after this Batman trilogy! Let's goooo

[@SixFour0391]

Lord of the Rings and this Batman Trilogy are two of the greatest trilogies ever made. If not, #1 and #2. Some of the best quotes, ever, in these two trilogies too! “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical…some men just want to watch the world burn.” “Madness is like gravity; all it needs is a little…push!” “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

[@callumcruickshank5236]

The joker's scars story changes to keep the illusion of the mystery behind the character's past. No one really knows how he got them but it adds the the depth to the character and tension.

[@DAMHoo]

You are right Tommy Lee Jones played two face in one of the past Batman movies

[@DannyPhantom992]

When Joker was giving Batman the addresses to where Rachel and Harvey were being held, he switched up who was where because he knew Batman would go for Rachel and he also knew this would be the tipping point for Harvey and would turn him into the villain he became, Two-Face. Also the scene when Joker blows up the hospital where he is walking out and things suddenly stop exploding was not on purpose. It was improvised because there was a malfunction with the explosives so he turned around and did the whole shoulder shrug then they started going off again and startled him.

Yep it was always a thing with Two Face, he had a coin he would flip to make all his crucial decisions. And yes, Tommy Lee Jones played him in Batman & Robin in the 90's. His character was excellent in the Batman Animated Series too.

[@ItApproaches]

The reason for the different stories "Joker" gave was cause Joker has no official backstory, as Joker says in one of the animated movies, Killing Joke, I think "If I'm going to have an origin, I'd prefer it be multiple choice!" While there is a lose canon, PARTIAL origin of Joker, which is he was once a failed comedian who had a wife, they were struggling horribly, she was pregnant and died, as did the kid, everything went south and the man who was, was no more, things happened and he turns into Joker. But in regards to who Joker was before he was Joker in any further detail, there is none. And it's by design.

The beauty of this movie, is that everyone came for Batman, but Heath Ledger as Joker stole the show… so much so that he won an Oscar for the role, tragically he passed before then, but his family accepted his award. TRULY A MASTERPIECE of a movie, but even more so THE BEST JOKER 🌹🌹 Every time Joker tells how he got his scars it’s a different story, he does not tell the truth, which just adds to the mystery of his character

Great reaction. To me this was not only the best Batman movie (even of Nolan's trilogy) but Heath was incredible, his portrayal of the Joker was epic.
