Nick my man’s!!!!!!

I love that my favorite reactors message each other ❤️ love both you guys

I gotta admit... the quality held.

Not my favorite movie, but it is my favorite Batman movie.

This is my favorite movie too!

He was fucking awesome man

Fucking phenomenal. A role so good it literally killed a man.

Did you set him in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, the film he was making when he died? Do good with remnants of the Joker in the acting.

@@jainelson8840 imagine the roles he wouldve had today

They should put him in more movies

I loved that comment!

I read somewhere that was their actual first interaction with Heath ledger in full costume as the joker and that's why caine couldn't say his lines and why Rachel looks so disgusted by him.

@@brewcityjesus that's correct

And when Joker clapped in the holding cell was thought up on the spot by Ledger.

Also when Joker bangs the denoting with his hand all done by Heath why he jumped when the explosion went off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@hectorcartagena2870 I always found that part funny

You mean the Joker told a FIB!?

no, he chose Harvey for the sake of Gotham, had Bruce gone and saved Rachel, she never would've forgiven him and hated him the rest of his life, he chose the needs of the many over the needs of the one.

@@UltimateGamerCC no he chose Racherl and you can see that on Batmans face when he saw Harvey. The Joker gave him the wrong adresas to fuck with him

@@UltimateGamerCC Batman told Gordon he was going after Rachel. That plus his stunned hesitation when he finds Harvey where he expects to find her says it all.

@@UltimateGamerCC Bruce specifically chose to save Rachael. He even said so when Gordon asks "which one are YOU going after". Joker PURPOSELY switched the addresses he gave to Batman knowing he would trick Batman into going to the opposite address then the one that he valued the most.

Well, Joker didn't mention the word "chance". That was Harvey's interpretation.

Damn. I never thought about that. That's amazing.

well yes, it shows that he really isn't as moral as he likes to think which is one of the biggest things that joker tries to prove to batman. You just gotta drive someone far enough to where they choose to be selfish rather than be moral. Killing a boat of criminals isn't very moral but the alternative is inevitable death. Had they actually pressed the button, I think the civilian remote would have blown up its own ship just to prove the hypocrisy of the situation where the criminal throws out the remote yet the civilian is debating with a detonator in his hand whether he should press it or not and he's way more conflicted than the criminals. Joker never plays simply. The choice is also a punishment. Should batman choose love, he will lose it for not being a moral and saviour of the town. Should he choose whats best for the city, He will lose all the progress of what could be but keep his love, although he would've most likely been just as destroyed.

I always assumed rachel and dent were at the same location in different parts of the building and batman happened to get to de t first cuz rachel looked like she was on the roof.

It was a great plan, but the Joker was lucky that Dent got half his face burned off as well. I doubt that a man like that would go completely nuts after the woman he loved died. Combine his woman dying with his inability to possibly court more women, or the woman he chooses then yeah, I can see him going crazy like that. Especially since the “2 face” spirit was in him since he worked for internal affairs. I love the Joker’s negative arc however. He sees that the boats don’t explode, gets dissapointed for a very very brief moment, but then goes on to blow them up anyway. Just to make it seem like he was right all along.

@@VonJay Harvey literally had a man in the back alley threatening to kill him lol. Harvey already had that in him, like joker said, madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little push.

Same. I thought the studio executives did too much drugs and it's why they made that decision. I'm glad to admit I was wrong.

@@chaost4544 I'd like to say I learned my lesson, but I went through the same doubt/surprise when Joaquin Phoenix was announced for his Joker movie, but more because I didn't want to see a Joker backstory. Part of what made this joker so menacing was that his story keeps changing. But maybe that's what Phoenix's movie was about too. We can't exactly trust what we are seeing in that one.

I was too young to care about casting at the time (I do remember the posters in my local theater though!). I’m just so glad Nolan and Ledger had a similar vision for the character that they followed through with. Nobody else could have pulled off this performance except Heath.

same... i was like the guy from "A knights Tale" ... but boy we were wrong....

Same. At the time my choice for Joker was Joaquin Phoenix. Whoops.

Heath ledger was the best part of the movie

He deserved every bit of that Oscar, I was devastated when he passed away before getting it though

I didnt see Heath as the Joker at all! I saw the Joker looked a lot like Heath!

Great no , is perfect

Just your friendly neighborhood reminder that some people might say that the _emotional weight of role of the joker_ is what led to Heath Ledger's demise but his peers have since confirmed that wasn't the case. I don't know how much that affects anything but at the very least it's better not to spread misinformation about the departed. Don't spread hate to those that still think that's how it happened though, it is after all a sensible misunderstanding considering how great and in depth his performance was💜

A great deal of this plays into the Dark Metal storyline in DC! FI you haven't read it, check it out, it will blow your mind!

This was very eloquently put...

@Space Vatnik it was theorized that he was a former green barey

“if I’m going to have a back story, at least I can make it multiple choice.” Or something to that effect

He doesn’t have or need a back story there are lot’s of people in the world who just want to destroy it and not all are mentally insane some would be considered highly intelligent they just hate the system

^^^ THIS

What about Phoenix?

@@meowfive7686 Phoenix was also pretty phenomenal. BUT noone tops Heath Ledger. No. One.

STFU nobody cares anymore about the Joker it's getting old & boring & annoying 💯 Scarecrow & Bane would both kick the shit outta him💯

@@mattlawrence1932 L

Definitely, all these years later and it's still amazing.

I agree but it's also the least like a comic book lol

Watchmen

@@silentjohnny4988 it is a comic book movie

Yeah I think the reason why its one of the best is because of director Christopher Nolan, who just really made sure to make this movie as relatable to the audience as possible by having plenty of drama and character development in it. Personally I don't know what you guys think, but I can't stomach most comic book movies because I find them unrelatable and the characters too 2Dimensional to be able to draw any good lessons or morals from them. These kinds of movies require a lot of creative license in order to introduce this sufficiently into the plot and characters. Also trying as hard as you can to make the action 'more'' realistic rather than outlandish definitely helps this.

ledger carried bales batman ain't it

“Madness is like gravity. All you need is a little push.” Joker movie explained.

Not true, unfortunately. Nolan confirmed in the DVD BTS that the sequence was co-ordinated that way, so that Heath could actually walk out from the hospital, and have time to get far away enough for the explosion to happen safely.

@@TrackpadProductions he did improvise the faulty detonator though, right? I'm sure I heard that somewhere.

​@@adolfdassler9457 It is possible that he originally came up with the idea to fiddle with the button, but the cast and crew all knew exactly what was going to happen long before it did. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcuEiZlj097MhZc.html

​@@adolfdassler9457 nope, literally everything was in the script and rehearsals

Reminds me of the Batman animated episode "Mad Love", where Joker had a different sob story about his father every time.

He did have one movie after Dark Knight

Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

The Dark Knight was Heath Ledger's last completed movie he died during the production of another movie which was weird and just wasn't a good movie so that last shot of him hanging upside down laughing in the Dark Knight was it for him and it makes that scene so much more dark and haunting for me to watch. It hurts me to think about Health Ledger's family mostly his little daughter and his real friends with how he suddenly passed and because he seemed like an amazing person and he seemed to love his job , so for all the fans we were all robbed of seeing his incredible talent moving forward and knowing that Christopher Nolan was going to have many more incredible shots with the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises makes it bittersweet to watch knowing it should have had the Joker and Bane.

@@ModeloLoveMeLongTime Yeah, agreed on all counts. I also don't like how actors like Jared Leto have used Heath Ledger's death basically as publicity to portray themselves as soooo dark and twisted for playing this character that supposedly killed him. Acting is a strenuous job for anybody. Playing the Joker didn't kill him, depression did.

I think the jokers strength is that he's unexpected, he's too crazy to predict. You can only react, by the time you're aware he's doing something you're already seeing the consequences and you don't have time to deal with them and try and figure him out and predict his next move. He keeps everyone off guard. He's playing the ultimate wildcard gambit and seeing it through with psychopathic confidence as you say.

Beautiful description and that is his “superpower”

Guys it’s a movie character😂😂 chill

I watched an analysis of the Joker in this movie on another channel that went through how he was far from a psychopath, he was super intelligent with psychopathic tendencies. Also to point out, Batman gets all his stuff done with no superpowers aswell.

@@thecolonel9120 yeah and the idea of a movie character is to portray someone living in another reality. What's the point of watching any film if all you're gonna do is sit there and say "well it doesn't matter what happens, they're just movie characters"? That's boring.

I'm trying to reconcile the assigning of 'criminal' to a vigilante who uses his incredible wealth to personally go after criminals, versus billionaires applying their wealth to other pet projects like medicine, politics, space travel, etc., rather than using a small portion of that wealth to elevate the lives of the employees who create that wealth in the first place and/or declining tax loopholes so tax revenue can be decided by more democratic (and less authoritarian) means. How is a vigilante any different than a billionaire who doesn't pay his workers a living wage or who would rather pay expensive lawyers to find loopholes to avoid paying taxes? None of this is ethical or moral, but only vigilantism is illegal, and currently the GOP is working hard to reverse that reality. Sorry to get political here. Just give that point of view a thought. I'm not against capitalism, but I AM against exploitation.

@@chris...9497 no he is a vigilante does not matter about wealth he is after revenge,standing up for victims whose life’s are made hell by people who are above the judiciary because of corruption like himself but in the eyes of the law he is a criminal in the same Vien as most super heroes

@@chris...9497 I hear you. Ethically and morally you're correct. Unfortunately the laws are not always ethical or moral.

@@jflaugher true and the people there to protect the public are not always the best people in the world and vigilante’s cause a very serious moral dilemma as they protect when the judiciary doesn’t but in reality they have gone too far themselves being corrupted by the power they wield

Actually, if the government is not maintaining your rights and order of society, then you exist in the state or nature. And what you call vigilantism is entirely legal in nature.

Even though I was at some of the filming for this movie, I still prefer the two tim burton film's. And no one plays a better batman than Keaton imho.

Agreed, the Keaton/Burton films were dark when compared to Adam West's goofy- kinda-for-kids take on the storyline. But even that Gotham wasn't as grounded as this, I mean it was Tim Burton after all, still love them Always. This is pretty much a serious crime drama like "Heat" or "The Departed" just happens to have Batman in it.

​@@TheRetroManRandySavage He was a perfect Bruce Wayne as well, that comic accurate charm with the right amount of mystery in the public eye. Great cast all around

Highly regarded as one of the best Batman movies? It’s highly regarded as one of the best comic book movies ever.

50 Cent took a page from his Playbook for the Halftime Show

Very different movie but yeah, definitely worth a watch. As a neat bonus, the actor that plays Robert Baratheon (dead king) from Game of Thrones is also in it, I'm sure he'll like that.

@@Ichthyodactyl Yea. He was pretty good. And Paul Bettany just stole the whole show, he was fantastic.

I agree. You won't even recognize him. But its such a good performance.

@@MegaTurkeylips Yeah. You can see the transition clearly with these two roles. From doing prince charming basically to the Joker.

What I like is that Iron Man came out at almost the same time. Such different visions but both have v diff legacies

William Fichtner is awesome in every role he plays. Loved him as The Accountant in Drive Angry

@@stanmann356 and Alex Mahone in Prison Break ❤. Hell, like you said, he's amazing in everything he does!

Plus, his comment to Batman in the interrogation room of "never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy, he can't feel the next--" is rather suspect. It may suggest he's familiar with conducting and or receiving interrogations. And to add onto this, perhaps he wasn't just a normal soldier, but rather black ops or CIA, And that may explain why he has no matches on fingerprints, dental, identity, or anything. Definitely a possibility, but I'm pleased that the Joker's original identity and background (and of how he came to be the Joker) is deliberately kept secret, makes him even more threatening and appealing that way.

that'd be cool af

The first isn't true. Nolan talked about the scene in the DVD BTS extras - the purpose of the pause in the explosions was so that Ledger could safely walk out the building as it was exploding. Every part of that sequence was planned ahead of time.

Yeah it is. And who’s to say that detonating their triggers would blow up the other boat and not their own?

YEESSS!!!!! It's so good!!!

I remember seeing ‘Ten things I hate about you’ in the theater. Of course at that point no one here knew who he was yet, but he definitely got my-everyone’s-attention.

Batman has plenty of chances to kill Joker. The whole movie is full of idiotic plot holes.

@@docsavage8640 not killing joker isn't a plot hole, that's just who batman is

Only movie i went to see twice in theater.... it is a masterpiece

He needs to react to Heat

You better be liking EVERYTHING. give leo that motivation to make more

Hell yeah pleaaase react to 'Heat' 1995!

Noooooooo ffs. The explosion went exactly as it should. First some confetti explosions so Ledger has the time to clear the site, pause and then the demolition. It was a real demolition of a real building and everything went as planned.

Would made more if it wasn’t for that awful Aurora stuff

I'd read that the crew knew it was a two-part explosion but they didn't tell Heath.

i blame Tom Cruise for having Katie Holmes locked in a closet so she didnt take the role this time. i think that wouldve made the audience care more when Rachel died.

@@markmac2206 Katie Holmes passed on this film because she wanted to do some tv show about the Kennedys, IIRC. MAYBE not the best decision. 😜

I preferred Gyllenhaal tbh

I would have cast Betty White rip

If you haven't seen it yet, he stars in a new horror movie called Late Night with the Devil. It is effin' terrific!

Don't forget, he also revealed the good in people and gotham with the cruise ships on accident.
