[@Cipher_Nine]

He was supposed to be in The Dark Knight Rises and possibly going against Bane. Since Bane wanted to take out Batman and Gotham but Joker doesn't want Bane to learn his identity and spoil the fun of killing him

[@john12892]

Ledger would not have been in Suicide Squad since it was a rebooted version of Batman anyway.

[@nnmartin94]

Why does the Joker laugh when he's thrown off the building? Because he would have succeeded in making Batman a murderer. If he dies, he wins the ultimate battle to corrupt the incorruptible symbol of justice. That gives him more pleasure than anything.

[@Eziokilla9595]

The best quality about The Joker is that he doesn't cast judgement on anyone. He doesn't even attempt to call himself a moral authority over anyone. He's not about good and evil. The real horror in Gotham is Gotham itself. The Joker does nothing but hold a mirror up to it all. That's the true genius behind his character.

[@oldchannelforayoungstupidf2649]

Oh my god, your right.

[@zacqueeentertainment7336]

That's true

[@lalas3590]

+Eziokilla9595 I like to think of TDK Joker as the counterpart of batman. The opposite of protecting isn't to cause harm, but to not care about those in need. While batman tries to make Gotham a better place by rooting out all the criminals,the Joker tries to nullify batman's actions by either neutralizing or turning batman's allies against him (the mayor, two-face) and ultimately by pushing him into breaking his "no killing" rule and turning him into a fully fledged vigilante.

[@Commander_Shepard.]

Sooo you're saying Joker is a *parody* of society?

[@TheAtlasReview]

That's more the Comedian from Watchmen. I like to think that the Joker is a very simple character: the personification of chaos. He does evil things because he enjoys it, not for any gain. Sometimes he will try to make a point like he does here, but the end goal of making that point is to further cause chaos. If people realise they are capable of committing atrocities or see Harvey Dent - their champion for justice - made psychotic he hopes it will incite anarchy in Gotham.

[@StoryBrain]

When I watch this scene, I like to imagine that the Joker wired the detonators the other way. So whoever tries to kill the other group will actually commit suicide.

[@pkmovies92]

"In their last moments people show, who they really are."

[@simssem]

because the last laugh was a mix of a sadness and joy smth only Heath Ledger could do (y)

[@SoulFistGaming]

"in their final moments people show you who they really are" Joker absolutely did not care that he was about to fall to his death. He didn't care about anything not even his own life. he killed people on a whim, he wouldn't even look them in the eye when he did it.

[@TheFlash3237]

What is really amazing about this scene is that, when The Joker was in prison, he told the guard that on their last moments people show you who they really are and most of them were cowards. And after fucking Gotham up by twisting Harvey and make him become a serial killer, He's laughing like a maniac when Batman threw him off the building showing you who he really was! He didn't care about dying, he didn't care about anything!! Well deserved Oscar for Mr. Ledger!

[@jeremychristian5409]

It's more because if he died he'd have successfully corrupted Batman by making him break his no-killing rule. Backtrack a bit to the scene where batman was about to hit him with his batbike or whatever it was called. The Joker was taunting him fearlessly "hit me, hit meee" And after batman caught him from fall, he clarified this also by spouting those unstoppable force vs. immovable object alegory, and also his statement that "you truly are incorruptible aren't you, you just won't let me go" also points to that.

[@silentrefusal9911]

If you think about it, Batman didn't even win the battle. He lost at pretty much every level. His love, his dignity, all the sacrifices he made pretty much went into dust bin when Harvey Dent eventually became exactly what Joker wanted him to be, and Joker pretty much killed The Batman (remember from Batman Begins, he is more of a symbol, an idea rather than a man in armour) by destroying his great public image. So, I don't know how exactly do you call it a victory for Batman?

***** Compassion is the basis of morality.

[@Jayson_Guy]

***** The stronger focus here is on the civilian passengers. The scene shows that in moments of fear and desperation, one can go mad and do something "bad" or "evil" to save oneself. See the civilian people's reactions, judging the prisoners deserve to die more because they are "criminals" and they have done bad. But at the same time, they are becoming "evil" and killers for thinking that way. This scene is very deep as it's also pointing out that life is about choices and the choices we make determine our destiny.

[@CroPETROforever]

+Canceriansoul You are naive about people, Im optimist but people in general are garbage as long as nothin happens to them, and then if it does, suddenly they become either saints or bigger garbages, and if somethin like this would happen to them, they would become like animals.

[@Growlingtummy2]

LowiTeCH But judging by his reaction to the boat passengers not killing each other, its safe to say that he was rooting for the people on the boat to kill each other, only to get frustrated that they proved him wrong. With that said, he quickly goes to his backup plan of corrupting Dent like you said, so while the Joker did lose his first gambit, he's still two steps ahead of his opponents

[@LuciosLair]

in normal life the people wouldve blown up each other the joker was fully right about is description about human nature but nolan needed some morals in this scen because i also think this made it a better movie but the joker always won because he has no goals hes having fun and showing humanity that they dont have any control about what they believe is under their control

[@Growlingtummy2]

LowiTeCH True, but its still a movie so I think we can give humanity the benefit of the doubt for The Dark Knight. Yeah, he did succeed in corrupting Harvey Dent (contributing to the social unrest in TDKR) but its still satisfying to see the Joker getting proved wrong for once.

+Lawn Boy Correct, but notice how every person remade the batman instead of continuing other work, therefore the batman has broken his rule many times just in different timelines

[@jeremychristian5409]

+Carson Burk yea but not in this one. And that's why the immovable object vs. unstoppable force allegory works. That's why Joker's maniacal laughter as he fell was so great. It's not about what happen in other adaptations or depictions, it's about this trilogy being consistent at least on that one aspect. Batman vs Joker is boring in essence. Like, what can a crazy maniac do against an expert martial artist with combat gadgets? This movie takes into an ideological combat as well. An optimistic outlook on the inherent good of people, represented by Batman. Or their corruptible nature, represented by the Joker. And in the end, it's a tie. Joker wins in Harvey. Batman wins in the citizens of Gotham. That's what makes this movie so amazing. It has so many layers of complexity when I got out of the studio I couldn't believe I was watching a comic book adaptation.

[@RessG]

+Carson Burk Same as BvS that's why more people don't really like it, most not because the movie itself, but how batman in this movie, they prefer to see batman struggle, fighting while holding his rule rather than Batfleck who simply just shooting criminal and want to kill Clark.

[@TheBlackLodger]

+Ress It's obvious that Batfleck didn't always kill criminals ya know considering the fact that The Joker, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Deadshot, and Deathstroke are still alive even after 20 years of fighting crime. He just killed criminals temporarily in BvS as stated by Alfred when he told him that he's changed a lot because "That's how it starts, the fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men...cruel." When did he ever even shoot criminals in the movie? The only instance I recall him "shooting" at a criminal is with his grapple gun and of course the Knightmare nightmare.

We're no longer seeing the movie from Batman's (aka the good side) perspective.

True, but then Batman takes the blame for Harvey's death in order to protect the image of the "White Knight" so the people won't lose hope. This later proves to be false in TDR when Bane reveals the truth from Gordon's resignation speech.

(He tried to prove that by bringing the white knight along with the batman down to *their* level) Bane's message: "People that of corruption deserve true justice" (He tried to prove that by letting the oppressed prisoners take control of the city from the rich and powerful) I really like the dark knight trilogy because it can be enjoyed by people who just like watching movies for fun or for fanatics who like to analyze movies and look at deeper hidden meanings.

People tend to miss out on one more thing that Joker did. By making all of the hostages disguised as civilians, The Joker made Batman fight the SWAT team, leading to some confusion to who Batman sided with. After breaking Harvey's spirit, he forced the Batman to kill Harvey Dent because if Batman did not kill him, the city would lose hope in two heroes. Joker had a win-win situation. Destroy Gotham's hope or make Batman a monster to the public.

I'd go with Tim Curry to play the Joker in a live-action version of The Dark Knight Returns. He's the right age, and he was turned down for the role on Batman The Animated Series because his take on the Joker was deemed "too scary".

And if they pressed the button, they would all have to live knowing that they killed each and every person in the other boat when Joker might not have pressed the button if they didn't.

Maybe I'm reading into this too much (although I doubt it since any filmmaker knows that each scene is lit and shot meticulously; all the more so pertinent to a man like Christopher Nolan) If you notice from 3:00 onward, you see that the lighting exposes the Joker's left face and in turn, exposes Batman's right side. It shows the duality of the characters, that they're the two sides of the same coin. It's a subtle reiteration of what the Joker is saying: they're both so different that they're complimentary, they're the "unstoppable force and the immovable object."

[@nicholasstansbery7655]

Eric Mata exactly, they are 2 sides of the same coin

[@NeilusNihilus]

Eric Mata Regarding the lighting I think you are reading too much into that TBH.

[@K4inan]

+Eric Mata I vomited out pretentious goo from your pretentious comment xDD

[@ericmata4821]

That has to be a superpower. I dub thee: PretentiousMan

[@LucasSouza-rv1kq]

3:22 notice that heath looks to the camera when he says "a little push!" Chills...

[@jellis9618]

Working the booth at a movie theater when this came out I watched this scene, easily, a hundred times. And Ledger’s performance lost nothing. The laughter at the end still puts chills into me. Amazing.

[@Bigjohnn23]

"In their last moments, people show you who they really are" The Joker laughs as he falls to his death

[@uberdriving9994]

He was laughing because he thought he made batman break his rule on killing people

[@dominon929]

That’s funny because unlike Jack Nicholson from Batman in ‘89, he just screamed as he fell. Batman basically got him killed when he shot his latch string to the granite gargoyle with the Joker’s ankle tied to it as he tried to climb up to the chopper to escape.

[@Account-ow6rz]

0:42 His true colors was this moment where people proved him wrong and he realized that he's crazy and delusional Joker was trying to play with people's emotions just like the devil luring them to kill eachother for the sake of fun. Because he knows that deep down people hate eachother but they don't show it but when the ships didn't explode it proved him wrong which made him mad

[@_Cato_]

One of the best parts of Ledger's transcendent performance is his mastery of the American accent. Being an Australian you would NEVER guess that he was - he completely owns the American way of speech.

[@niilsaa]

6 years late, but I can attest to this as an Aussie. He is absolutely phenomenal.

[@SgtTarkov]

2:39 : Batman: "Getting really tired of your shit, Joker..."

[@ryuoh6928]

To me, the most bone-chilling thing about this scene is the fact that he doesn't stop laughing while falling to his death.

[@maxfrankow1238]

“I won’t kill you, because you’re just too much fun!” The most accurate Joker line ever.

[@NealX]

Joker: "Madness is like Gravity..." Batman: "It's going to perform superbly at the Academy Awards?"

[@The94Venom]

Screw you, I was going to make that joke >:(

[@lukeduke15]

This is such a brilliant film, showing that you don't need mindless CG action to complete a comic book movie (MOS, Green Lantern, Every Marvel Movie etc. you get the point). The best scenes in this movie are this, the interrogation, and the chase sequence, among an array of others, none of which use CG (small amount for the chase) but involve brilliant dialogue, and thrilling story telling. In fact, while the fighting is decent, it is the weakest point in an otherwise brilliant movie. There's just something brilliant about a man who can beat up anyone in a physical battle, but seem helpless in a psychological confrontation. And it's something TDKR couldn't replicate. It's such a shame the Ledger passed, I truly believe because of his passing, it's why we got a half hearted effort from Nolan who just wanted to disconnect with the series after that. If Ledger was alive, I truly believe we would have gotten atleast a couple more films, and the greatest onscreen conflict in film history between these two legendary characters, battling for the city of Gotham.

[@weakestlink20]

The moment where Batman realized... Joker already won.

[@Archangel251]

The Heath Ledger Joker should be a philosophy teacher

[@Ntwadumela266]

despite joker being totally maniacal....everything he says...makes sense and has truth to it in our society....kinda scary

[@dmitri1374]

if you're like a hormonal 16 year old who thinks he knows everything

[@TheHelper151]

Joe Paterno You just are blind... You don't see what's really there.. You only see what you want to see, not the ugly truth...

[@icecubedirectorofshield6636]

Danny Thomas You're just like the people he is describing.

[@TheHelper151]

The God of Wikipedia No, considering what the Joker says has truth to it... And, in a real world scenario, the good vs bad thing will disappear before survival is introduced.

[@icecubedirectorofshield6636]

Danny Thomas Considering a dumbass could interpret what the joker says with ease because it's standard shit. The Joker did not invent this logic. It's not some ultra complex way of thinking. You're not a super intelligent being, in fact, it's basic school shit to view things from multiple viewpoints which is essentially all this is. So when naive little pricks come on supervillain videos, going on about how they're right and how they're so young and can understand the flaws of humanity, ill admit, it gets really fucking annoying.

[@GlennAquilina]

I just love the visual symbolism in this scene. As joker is hanging upside down with batman in front of him, they literally are the Ying and Yang. Two opposing forces that can't exist without each other. As far as heroes and villains go, Batman versus Joker will always be number one in my book.

[@aFilmByJake]

3:29 that laugh is horrifying yet so amazing

[@lgurmendi]

Greatest acting in the history of film. How did this not win an oscar?

[@Mehmet-ef7qc]

Luchi Schmitz Heath won an oscar fot the performance and the movie got 2.What are you talking about exactly?

[@IcebergLounge695]

He got one when he was dead😐

[@PlaystationGamerZX]

Joker voice better than batman voice in this movie.

[@h4rder10]

Everything about joker was better than batman in the movie

[@user-zv9xy8rz4q]

SHOULD CALL JOKER THE DARK CLOWN

[@MinecraftDude1245peni]

no

[@paulenengbe7789]

yeah specially when he asked "U wanna know how i got these scars?"lol

I will never forget how the ad of this movie was Shown in german TV, it was Played on saturday evening for the first time in FreeTV. I recorded the movie and used to rewatch it nearly every week, back in 5th or 6th grade. Still one of my Favorits

[@liamstallard3793]

Love when the joker laughs while hes falling

[@timet0pwns0men00bs]

and thus ends the glorious rain of the best acting I have ever seen in any movie. Rest in peace Heath Ledger.

[@adcppk9884]

Now, this is more relevant than ever.

[@speedstriker]

It's prophetic.

[@sanatani2532]

The best thing is joker's laugh when he thrown off the building and his statement -"Madness as u know , is like a gravity all it take is little push" this line is amazing and it means a lot..

[@3912James]

When it comes to laughing in the face of death Ledger gives Hamill a run for his money.

[@DinujayaRajakaruna]

BETTER LAUGH BUT ACTING WISE HEATH DID A GREAT JOB

[@swiftstreak98]

True that

[@swiftstreak98]

*****​ SvsB was total crap ( No disrespect intended towards anyone's feelings )

[@swiftstreak98]

I. Th. To me Mark Hamill will always be seccond rate compared to Heath Ledger's joker

[@truerespect4247]

Nahh hamils joker is way better because he is THE JOKER, heaths joker dumbs down on the evil humour and is more about chaos etc

[@JackOfSomeTrades29]

"What did you do..." For the first time in history, the symbol of hope and fearlessness in the night... is horrified.

[@Hockeyisforeverybody]

The detonators on each ship were designed to blow up both ships simultaneously. Joker only had one detonator. It was a trap the whole time. "Everything burns."

[@lazyartiste_2357]

Damn!

[@SoulFistGaming]

i love how the ending part of the joker's theme starts playing at 2:50 it compliments the scene so well. it truly fits him

[@XenoZen_]

When your classmates quit on you on a science project and you said.... 1:02

[@lucidityedits]

Every mf part about this scene is perfect. From the swelling Hans Zimmer score as joker falls while laughing, to the “madness is like gravity” quote

[@RedLine_90]

Best joker of all time. Hands down. Rip

[@TheWarthogRunGame]

"what did you do..." the way batman says this, he's like a parent talking to their child

[@elhudsono]

He really fucking nailed that laugh.

[@Noobmaster-ts2df]

"thats ok i came prepared" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@snakeeyesraw]

Something Burton never got that Nolan did was that Joker didn't want to kill Batman. They are two characters with a very unique relationship. Joker, in the canon and BTAS, enjoys the game. "There's a certain rhythm to these things... I cause trouble, he shows up. We have a few laughs and the whole thing starts all over again!"

[@thecake6635]

"Without batman,crime has no punchline..."

[@snakeeyesraw]

***** Early on, yes. Later he realized he didn't want him dead. This is best displayed in the episode, "The Man Who Killed Batman."

[@Bradamir]

I mean Tim Burton's Batman blows up a few henchmen, and does strafing runs with his Batwing killing a good few. I love Burton's style, but that's a completely different Batman.

[@sammuel1971]

One bad day

[@nightwingbatsvssupes]

Just one , that's all it takes

[@joshm2274]

"Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push." 😲😍✌️

[@weaponsofwarfare9537]

I LOVE when he starts cracking up while falling.He gives no fucks about himself or anybody except the fact he thought he got Batman to kill him.

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

The followup to this would have been amazing. I liked The Dark Knight Rises, but I'd be lying my ass off if I said I didn't wonder what Ledger would have done in a sequel.

[@NelsonStJames]

Was there any real talk of the final film featuring the Joker?

[@nathanbeard3142]

Nelson Smith no

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

Christopher Nolan said it was "too painful" to talk about, or think about. I can't remember if it was talk or think, but he did say it was too painful. They had big plans for The Joker in the third film.

[@charleschichi9052]

Seeing as they brought back The Scarecrow for the Court Room scene in The Dark Knight Rises i reckon they would of brought the Joker in there somewhere. Sort of all the Batmans enemies from the trilogy working together you know

[@jokerfan52fun]

Check out the joker blogs. It tells the story of what happens to the joker after this.

[@charmingmohammed5250]

madness as you know is like gravity all it takes is a little push , Injustice Gods among us

[@vicjoseromero]

In my humble opinion the best ever example of a comic book translated to the screen. Best understanding of the characters ever.

[@matthew5836]

Not gonna lie but that was a damn good line "Madness as you know is like gravity... All it takes is a little Push!"

[@Danny-tf3fd]

2:14 Joker just basically summed up their entire relationship in a couple of sentences.

[@Esialpha]

This movie is so much better than that SHIT STAIN that is BvS. Batfleck would have branded, tortured and killed the Joker.

[@jplegend98]

atleast batflek doesnt sound like he has throat cancer

[@cantwinnogamepr4513]

[@jplegend98]

Rolando Delgado i dont mind it.

[@disorder581]

no man, the joker is so amazing. bale was a good batman in begings, after that just fought with his elbows, thats no batman at all. ben afflecks batman is the real batman from the comics. then ok he kills people but of course in extended.movie clearly tells you how tired and angry he is and the old man says he became more evil.

[@tiggs7255]

+joshua powell neither did i, I thought it was pretty good it just had to much to do in 2 hours.

[@caseylewis8768]

Rest in peace Heath Ledger.:)

[@DaliaMiller]

Did anybody catch when the joker was laughing at the end of this clip when the pitch of his laugh changed drastically? When I first heard that, it creeped me tf out... Which is why I love this adaptation of the Joker

[@Jayson_Guy]

That end laugh sounds like he was in celebration of what he's done in a dark twisted way. It was an evil laughter but he was feeling victorious and accomplished. A combination of triumph, anger, joy, bitter and sadness. An emotional climax for the Joker.

[@PiCheZvara]

That last laugh almost sends shivers down your spine. So taunting, guttural, gravel while still genuine. The Joker is not just putting on an act - he truly found funny the things he had done. I dont know how Ledger came up with that particular laugh, but he nailed it. One more difference between him and Leto - Leto was not able to come up with a laugh that did not sound fake and that sounded genuine.

[@DeeSee25]

Yes. Part of the reason I love the scene. That was the Joker's ultimate troll move. Batman thought he won but Joker had an ace. It was kind of funny watching Batman storm off like a mad girlfriend haha.

[@Wherethehellarewegoing]

02:39 I love how Batman just sighs and closes his eyes, as if he to say "oh just give it a rest already!!!"

[@Invinciblez18]

His facials at 0:40. I know that feeling. That feeling of things just starting to slip away or not go as you thought it should. (Not that I'm saying iv tried to get people to blow each other up; dont report my post to the FBI or Mi6)

“I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” If only Heath hadn’t died. We could of had at least another film directed by Nolan displaying the never ending philosophical, mental and physical battles between Batman & the Joker.

[@sojih]

2 Things 1) I never truly appreciated the fact Heath Ledger delivered/ acted his final scene in this movie upside-down!! Like what an awesome performance and doing it while dangling upside-down 2) notice how the camera turns at the 1:45 mark and suddenly our perspective (as well as Batmans) is bringing him from this upside-down world we see him in, into this ride side up sense of clarity the more he explains his logic and his own perspective

[@artistdjnoname]

Love the way Joker acts and tacks...just amazing...Damn! Rest in Peace....

[@speedstriker]

This movie is prophetic. You get serious chills rewatching scenes like this.

[@nicktroisi6347]

“You and I are destined to do this forever” The Joker and Batman are simply the greatest rivals in fictional history. They have fought against one another for nearly a century and will fight till the end of time

[@ManHeIsAwesome]

Everyone is saying Joker was laughing when Batman threw him off the building because Batman broke his code....but i think the real reason he was laughing was because it was the first time he heard Batman tell a joke just before throwing him off and found it really funny. Joker: Wanna know how i got these scars? Batman: No! But i know how you got these.. *shoots batrangs and throws joker off* That's actually pretty funny. 1:15

[@josiahcaterino4788]

Honestly, I'd say it's a bit of both😂

[@Son-Monkey]

Joker: "In their last moments people show who they are." Joker falling to his death: laughing maniacally

[@MrMywishlist]

I love the line “I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” Even though it doesn’t happen in the Nolan trilogy, we know deep down that they would.

[@moonlitdevil_princess6827]

"This is what happens when an unstoppable force, meets an immovable object."...That sums up Batman and Joker's relationhip, perfectly. :)

[@sequalsr2550]

You see madness is like gravity. Then the music intensifies. This caused me to add this video in my favorite Playlist.

I really liked what CinemaWins said “I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” “And we would have watched you do this forever, truly.” RIP Heath
