The Dark Knight - "I Just Want My Phone Call"

The Joker escapes the police station.

[@liamstallard3793]

Heath Ledger was the true Joker. No one else will ever be as good as he was

[@OpenMawProductions]

Liam Stallard Well.... Mark Hamill is still the quintessential joker for me, but yeah, as far as on screen presentations, Ledge got the goods.

[@matthewspell7406]

The reason the joker is so sucessful is b/c he understands that people are driven by emotion

[@Jonathan.Ng-Magic-Music]

"He wanted me to lock him up in the MCU, Marvel Cinematic Universe."

[@PineapplesPerhaps]

Joker is such a great character, but the DCEU keeps making... sub-par movies while Marvel does much better. And Joker deserves better so please, lock him up in the MCU.

[@sharilshahed6106]

If he was successful, MCU's Civil War could've evolved into full blown Injustice.

Joker seriously just loves to mess with people, he can play mind games by letting them think they have they upper hand.

they aren't all dead they show up later in the movie, i believe they passed out or something.

WHAT DO U WANT

[@nujunara]

Joker sarcastically asked Harvey whether he looks like a guy with a plan, but ffs he is a fucking genius and he is a guy with brilliant planning. He put the explosives in that guy's stomach, then got himself captured, made Batman break the glass window so he can get the shard, bait the cop into attacking him then taking him a hostage and detonating the explosive. And not just here, basically everywhere he has brilliant plans. In the bank robbing, he organized the thugs to kill each other and in the end only him and the other guy remains, whom "accidentaly" got killed by the bus. In the chase, he knew that Batman will appear and they'll call in helicopters, so he put the cable guys at the getaway route to disable the helicopter. He perfectly planned killing the black mob boss too, just like switching the addresses, letting Dent escape before the hospital demolition, counting on the people on 2 ships not blowing each other up so having a backup detonator. Fucking genius.

[@howeijian4277]

unreal planning

[@guitarfan01]

I'm not sure if he's 100% planning, or 50% planning and 50% really good at making it up as he goes.

[@ScoopMeisterGeneral]

I wouldn't say he was 'counting' on one of the ships not blowing the other up, because he seemed genuinely disappointed when he realised he had to do it himself (since they kind of proved him wrong by not killing each other). But yeah, he was clearly smart enough to have a plan B. One place where his plans seem a bit dodgy to me, though, is that he made a whole string of assumptions- which fortunately for him turned out to be correct- when it came to the whole thing about blowing up Rachel and Dent, but which could have easily gone wrong for him. He assumed that Batman would go to rescue Rachel first, so he switched the addresses to trick him into rescuing Harvey instead. He assumed that the cops would get to the address too late to save Rachel. He assumed that Batman would get there in time to save Harvey. He assumed that Batman wouldn't end up getting crippled/killed in the explosion and that Harvey would also survive. To be completely honest, I think half the time he really _was_ just winging it.

[@pootispow3017]

***** so can we call it a scene bomb instead of a photobomb

[@hairbiopi1240]

Disembowell that answer was a maybe..not a true authentic answer because she was thinking that since she's a woman its obvious that she's the one whose going to get rescued and harvey is basically pleading for her love and trying to comfort her by not referring to say goodbye or I love you. Batman in my opinion fucked up bad here because it shows who he really is, if he had saved Rachel then he would've betrayed Harvey and since he let Rachel die and chose Harvey he's still being seen as a good guy by the people but harvey now knows that he is the motherfucker thats been fcking everything up

[@lakobause]

I love how the bombing of the jail kills every one but the Joker and his specific victim.

[@raywillaimjhonson]

But you don't know who it actually killed.

[@amanjha__]

Actually I think the bomb killed none of the people in Joker's room, but what happened was that when the explosion occured, which was close enough to mess things up but not to burn stuff in the room, it distracted all the cops and the Joker went all knifey-slicy and killed them all by hand

[@corndog4848]

Knowing how even though he says he doesn't use plans, his plan probably was detailed to the exact area that the bomb would explode, plus he probably slit the guys throat

[@The94Venom]

Brad Bell No he didn't. We see the guy with Gordon later on in the movie.

[@corndog4848]

He should of then

[@liamstallard3793]

I love how when the explosion goes off the Joker is just standing there

[@csiwannabe001]

I was watching this movie the other day! Gosh it still amazes me that Heath Ledger played the Joker! It also makes me wonder what would've happened to Heath's career if he was still alive!!

[@kenyam9460]

I always felt bad for Rachel in this part because she hears Harvey being rescued. She basically dies thinking they choose not to come for her. It's noble that she still tries to comfort him knowing it's about to be her ass though.

[@vietvipp]

love the music

[@tankmaster1018]

Out of all the times that I've seen the movie, I never realized that Joker switched the addresses until now. I just assumed Batman made the decision to get Harvey instead because he was more important to have alive but only just realized that he purposely switched the addresses so that Batman would accidentally save Harvey and create the seething hatred for everyone that made him turn bad.

[@Yayomeow]

He was incredible Best Joker

[@MeYoda23]

I love the the background music.

[@MrVpm777]

I love this part in this movie! What incredible acting. "Want to know which of them were cowards?"

[@ryanvuyyuru3622]

i think jokers ultimate power is his intelligence, he just knows how humans work maybe because he looking from the outside in cus clearly he isnt human, he knows just how to taunt the cop into starting a fight, he knew wayne would go to rachel instead of dent so he switched the address, he knew how to play maroni, he knew how to compose the bank job, he knew how to corrupt dent. heath u owned this role, everything, 1:55 the way he held his posture here and the way he has little spasms just makes this soo believeable and his tone when he speaks is just twisted, demented its truly enthralling it is truly sad he is gone

[@MrLuke4me]

The last scene with him enjoying the breeze out the window, shaking his head in it, savoring it. It's just icing on the fucking cake. And the way it goes into a complete silence too.. damn that's good.

[@LexiM23]

I just want my phone call. omg I love it! I die every time!! I love Heath Ledger and wish he was still here for TDKR! But it was still amazing! RIP Heath❤

[@tapoutro1799]

lmao....that moment of silence...then...I JUST WANT MY PHONE CALL haha

[@Aelrandir]

I believe with him telling multiple stories about his scars it comes from one of the comics (I don't remember which one) where he says if he is going to have a past he would prefer if it was multiple choice. He just makes up stories as he goes. It fits the character better to have such a mysterious past. I hope it always stays that way.

[@Phantomx1989]

the most accepted history of the joker was that he fall in a tank with quimics and that stun his muscles into a permanent smille and those colors, the scars and makeup is just the movie

[@pchwang]

The acting in this movie was really phenomenal. Even down to Rachel just plain panicking after she realizes that Batman went for Harvey even though she thought Bruce would save her the entire time. It really makes what she says to Harvey a lot more nuanced - in a sense she's still holding out for Bruce but Harvey is about to die, so she tells him what he wants to hear.

I think that's what the movie and the battle between Batman and Joker (chaos) represents. There is no winning, per se, it is like yin and yang, a constant struggle.

[@Legion640]

0:53 This guy is an amazing voice actor. He's played as Harbinger from Mass Effect, Joshua Graham from Fallout New Vegas, Herschel Biggs from LA Noire, the Didact from Halo 4, and most recently Cornelius Slate from Bioshock Infinite. Definitely one of my favorite voice actors of all time.

[@DJRAKKK]

Ledger was a sick piece of sick fuck in this movie...what an amazing role.

[@Zerohero_007]

The impact is different not many people in the world would care about any action the common man would do, but if a highly respected and idolized individual does something evil it is brought to the attention of millions. Look at the media today, when famous celebrities do something stupid they are given a greater amount of attention than if a common individual did the same thing.

Joker's origin being unknown is what makes him that much scarier. The question of what created him is part of who he is.

[@natasharmanff9785]

Poor Joker he only wanted a phone call :-(

[@eightdollarsmore]

That's what's so great about the character. He's been around for so long, but his past pretty much remains a mystery. There are all these different stories flying around, and we don't even know if the Joker himself knows what really happened. It makes him not only unpredictable, but also unknowable, creating what I think is one of the greatest villains of all time. Just my opinion :)

[@dsmangamaster]

the facial make-up/prosthetics that heath had to wear caused him to do it subconsciously and nolan liked how it looked so heath made it a regular part of his act

[@TheSkridpomfrit]

That's one of Heath's amazing tricks to truly make Joker seem crazy

[@stillcovalent]

Cop: Is that a... phone? Joker: Nah, it's a Galaxy Note 7

[@jukubx]

@Janny Hozuki - He wasn't cuffed, you see his hands free when talking about the officers being cowards. He avoided the punch because the officer under estimated him and the weapon was a piece of broken glass which in the chaos was probably lying around. And for your later question, he doesn't torture them but just before he kills them with the blades they either act cowardly by crying etc. or non-cowardly (whatever that means). I'm not sure when exactly but he doesn't torture them per say.

[@Legion640]

Yes.
