Blink, and you'll miss it. When Joker gets all the money and burns it, he burns Lao to death on top of the pile.

Another fact is that when Heath Ledger came out of the elevator at the party as the joker, Michael Caine actually had lines, but he never seen Heath in character before, and was taken back by his appearance

"If you're good at something. Never do it for free." Words to live by

“You either die a hero, or see yourself live long enough to become the villain”; quote was so good it established itself in the English vocabulary

This movie gets deeper and deeper the more you watch it

"You think you can just steal from us and get away with it?" "Yeah" LOL always loved that exchange

In the comics Joker was confronted with his backstory and said: "I made so many of them I don't even know which one is true".

The thing about the joker is, even he doesn’t know which of his backstories is the real one. He actually said in the comics, “If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice”

49:07 During this scene, this was something like the 4th or 5th, Heath Ledger didn't feel that he was channeling the Joker as best as he could, so he quietly asked Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan for Batman to **ACTUALLY** punch him. This scene is that take, and you can see that each blow actually connects every time that Batman hits him. The maniacal laugh wasn't even in the script, he just channeled the hits into it and ad libbed it on the spot, and it was such a perfect laugh that literally defined this whole arc of the movie.

No offense to marvel studios, but this movie is better than all the MCU products

Fun fact the reason Joker keeps licking his lips is because the makeup for his scars kept falling off so Heath had to prod them with his tongue so he just turned it into a facial tick of the joker

"Madness is like gravity. All it takes a little push!" 👈 my favourite from the movie.

"The Dark Knight" is always a favorite reaction to watch because hardly anyone expects a DC comics movie to be #3 on IMDb's top movie lists.

The joker always said, "if you're gonna have an origin story, why not make it multiple choice?"

The ending of this movie still gives me chills

I saw Dark Knight in theaters when I was a kid. Heath Ledger Joker scared the heck out of me.

Three interesting facts about this movie. 1. The hospital explosion was an actual explosion, but it wasn’t mean to be as big as it was, they used to much explosives. The Jokers reaction when he smacks the remote is real and also improv to the situation right before the secondary explosion happens. The delay wasn’t meant to happen when making the explosion for the movie. 2. Rachael’s reaction to seeing Joker in the party scene where the Joker grabs her face. That’s a real genuine reaction to seeing Heath in the Joker makeup. She hadn’t seen him in makeup until that point. Which was done on purpose to get a genuine reaction. 3. The reason Heath (Joker) licks his lips so much is because of the way the makeup felt on his lips so he just kind of did it out of habit. So instead they ended up making it apart of his character.

actually, The Joker isnt "crazy". what makes him so terrifying is that while he has impulsive actions that border on psychopathic tendencies, in reality he's highly intelligent and knows exactly what he's doing. every single thing that he does is very well thought out and well calculated.

It was a notorious problem for the 1989 Batman movie that Micheal Keaton could not turn his head while wearing the costume. This is a small homage to that particular problem.

Bruh I was waiting for someone to acknowledge how crazy it was for the joker to be historically laughing while falling to his death

The fact that Harvey was using a two-headed coin completely went over your head. You missed it.

Loved how you realised he switched the addresses before the reveal nice eye to detail 🤙🏾

This ain't her first time

Bummer you missed the two-headed coin. It became a two-differently sided coin when Harvey became Two Face. So him flipping it before and after had different effects.

Congrats on getting the role!! So so so happy for you.

Heath Ledger ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT as Joker! His performance was PHENOMENAL! He should have won Best Actor for it instead of Best Supporting Actor, but he still won an Oscar and that's what matters! Sadly, this was his last role due to his passing several months before the movie was released. RIP Heath Ledger😢💔. Also, I saw this in theaters and that fake Batman hitting the widndow was loud AF. Everyone, including me, jumped about a foot out of their seat.

i remember reading stuff online where people on the set legitamately got creeped out by Heath Ledger because he was so deep into his character and additionally Heath asked Christian to hit him for real in the interrogation scene it would have been so exciting to see what he could have done in other movies

It's largely believed that the studio recast Rachel because the original actress Katie Holmes had begun dating Tom Cruise around the time that Batman Begins got released. It was around this same time that Tom started going nuts, jumping on Oprah's couch and getting rather confrontational over his religion Scientology during interviews. Supposedly, Warner Bros. didn't want the risk of any negative attention their relationship could bring to their big Bat-franchise, so they cut Holmes loose and replaced her with Maggie Gyllenhall. None of this has been confirmed, but that was the rumor at the time.

When you saw Batman ride his cycle through a shop-arcade, and you exclaimed that you knew where that was in NYC, About 90% of this film was on location in Chicago. I lived in Chicago 1994-'02. I had a friend who worked on the technical crew, lights, on the Dark Knight, he told me about the hospital near Univ' Illinois Chicago, that was going to be demolished, so the film crew blew it up -before this film came out. The Bat Cycle went through an underground train station, over by the Chicago Art Institute, that serves trains to Indiana; shops and food arcade. The underground chase, weapons, crashes were done on lower Wacker drive. The Police ceremony, and the flip of the semi-truck, and Bat' vs. Joker duel was on LaSalle St. When the Judge's car was blown up, I'm sure was on Dearborn Ave, I lived in two apartments on that street. "Bat' Begins" was filmed in Iceland, and England, as well as Chicago. The Dark Night, some filming in England, and studio -mostly in Chicago. Director Christopher Nolan, while British, lived for a few years in Chicago IL. 😎

This is the best sequel in this trilogy.

Disney can have all the money in the world But they'll never top this movie's level of quality

59:40 Gotta admit, the Joker knows how to rock a nurse's uniform. 😀

Sadly Heath Ledger acted as he died 6 months before the release of this film but his performance as the Joker won an Oscar which is well deserved. RIP Heath Ledger

Regarding the "knife" in 51:25, it was a piece of glass from the broken window(?) behind Joker

The reason why the Joker kept lucking his lips is because the prostetic upper lip (it was a rubber piece) kept getting loose, so he wetted the inside of his mouth to hold it in place. The director liked it and made it part of the Joker’s persona.

"You complete me" is a famous line from Jerry Maguire, I believe...

I love the opening scene. When that banker with a shot gun came out and blasted that first robber, I was like: "Welcome to Gotham, Bitch! Click-Click!"

39:09 actually, the coin was double headed. Hence why Harvey said, "I make my own luck" at the beginning

This is one of the best reactions to The Dark Knight in a long time!

Thanks for sharing your reaction to this, Collette. Michael Jai White(Gambol) once starred in his own comic book movie, "Spawn."

Heath and Rachel scene at the party was improvise by heath so Rachel really got scared in reality. Brilliant actor

Thank you for reacting to one of the best films of all time! I can't wait for you to reaction to more Nolan! Amazing analysis as always😊

Heath Ledger licked his lips to keep the facial prosthetics applied to his face and sort of just incorporated it as part of the character. It's great, it makes the character even more unsettling.

The Batman >> The Joker >>>> Everybody else. Period!

Instant fan. Excellent reaction. I had strong reservations at first, but your commentary was exceptionally cogent. Insightful, kind of funny sometimes, good heart, but dark. Dark but good. Thank you for this. I'm gonna watch a few more and see about subscribing 😊

He didn't have another knife. At 51:29 if you look you'll notice he has a piece of glass from the window Batman broke with his head. Pretty crazy how that worked out in his plan.

I really enjoyed everything you had to say. I love that you understand all of it. Very impressed 👍

25:27 "If I have to know my history, I prefer it to be multiple choice" Joker from the comics

I have have the blu-ray collection of these. This is my absolute favorite. "Joker is the ultimate "Batman villain. I love "Batman "Joker and this is my favorite version of 2Face and Catwoman. This one of my favorite movies ever. Very excited to watch this with you "Colette ❤

59:50 fun fact that was improvised. It was supposed to blow up right away fully. There was an issue. So him shrugging and pushing the buttons actually is 100% improvised but SO AWESOME!

The movie would be just 50% of what it is a masterpiece without the music. The intense violin string going higher pitch while the Joker speaks. The intense Batman fighting music in some scenes. Just a masterpiece a work of art. The acting the music the actors top notch. Hans Zimmer is the modern Mozart of movie music a genius.

Finally!! I was half way through the first time!!!

Christopher Nolan wanted to avoid going into the Joker's origin story, but he kind of unintentionally made this movie a Joker origin story. When the movie starts, Joker is a gun-for-hire with a flair for the theatrical. When the mob hires him to kill Batman, he agrees to do it for half of the mob's cash. Killing Batman is just another job, then he actually encounters Batman and discovers that Batman is an equal, someone who tests his abilities and keeps him sharp. Joker begins to fall in love with the game he's playing with Batman. Joker fully comes into his character when he burns the cash the mob pays him. Joker realizes that the stakes of the game he and Batman are playing aren't material, but spiritual. They're playing for the soul of Gotham City, and they're destined to play the game forever since neither one of them is willing to kill the other.

Probably the best live action Batman movie. DC is DEFINITELY dark, much more so than Marvel and Batman is probably the darkest character in the DC universe. Thanks for reacting to DC content, it's an amazing multiverse.

Thank you, this was fun!!! I saw this in an IMAX theater 3x, pretty awesome... oh yeah, fantastic fake batman mayor window jump scare!!!

28:06 The Dark Knight was filmed in Chicago, Illinois and Richard Dent played with the Chicago Bears from 1983-1993 who was also the MVP in Super Bowl XX.

44:05 its merchandise mart in Chicago. Not new york. And the underground is lower Wacker drive.

which is your favorite Batman movie in the Trilogy?

You could say Joker switched the addresses on purpose, but I say you'd be surprised at the things you'd forget after being hit in the head a few times.

I am a huge Batman fan and this is my favorite Batman movie, i watch this movie every July 18. My first Batman was The animated series and i watch each episode according to the premier date

Yes, "Buyer Beware" is really a good song. The power combination of composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.

I was watching this reaction the other day. Then I think the Joker did a magic trick and -BAM- it was gone mid-watch!

God the soundtrack in this film is top tier

The Lucius-Reese blackmail exchange is some of my favorite dialogue in the movie. If he's right, Batman's gonna beat him to a pulp. If he's wrong and tries to expose Wayne anyway, Bruce can sue him into the dirt for slander and defamation, and he'll die impoverished and destitute. It's a lose lose situation for poor Reese

it was filmed in Chicago, if you look at the cars you'll see an Illinois plate. that place you thought you've been to is the final stop on the Metro. Also the hospital that the joker blew up was really done. that and the truck flip were real effects, no CGI. im from around there and got to watch them film half of it.

That airplane part was the Skyhook reference from when Batman was viewing the new equipment scene...

44:51 Something that is very subtle about Heath Ledgers' performance of the joker is that when facing down Batman on the batpod, doing his "hit me" monologue, it is the ONLY TIME in the movie that he is standing perfectly straight. Every other part, he's either sitting, or standing with his torso bent a little to the left or right. His stance is chaotic, but when he finally thinks he's broken through to Batman and will make him break his one rule, he stands up straight, the only time he lets order take over as he WANTS to be hit. It's extremely subtle, and I didn't really pick up on it until like the 4th time through the movie, but that is what separates great actors from the once-in-a-generation actors

you didnt notice but the coin Harvey used before he became 2 face had 2 heads. no tails, it was a rigged coin

The Joker right about one thing, that madness is like gravity all it takes is a little push. Crazy line

Heath Ledger forever the Joker rest in peace my hero 🕊

Loved your reaction!

The irony is that for the Joker to create so much chaos he had to plan and execute everything in great detail.

12:32 . I just fell in love with "Collette 😂 . I did not expect that awesome reaction 😂

Still the greatest comic book movie of all time

You made a great point. No jokes, no foolin' around in this movie. Nolan has made a trilogy that has gravitas. I found this series refreshing. No camp either. The seriousness doesn't detract from the entertainment value of the movie, it intensifies it.

Joker is my favorite character in this movie. His dialogue and talking style is powerful and amazing 👏 ❤❤

Fun little fact if i remember correct and noone has said this before , the reason the Joker keeps licking his lips was about the prosthetic, he needed to keep it in place and licking it like that helped it

You either die hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain

31:56 one of the blink wrong and you'll miss it stuff there is a frame where one of the guns has a live round, timed perfectly with the timer opening the blinds and a sniper reacting to it, so the confirmation of the shot is covered, so the gun is confirmed loaded with a live round for the next shot.

Also in this, joker says and implies, he never plans, he's just an animal, he just does. Yet from the time Chinese guy is caught, until his death and jokers breakout, he planned EVERYTHING!!!

42:41 The crazy and one of the important parts is how the stunt driving is incredible how Joker is driving which is incredibly scary but so brave.

The Joker changes that mouth scar story every time he tells it, it's his signature line for sure...

Heath Ledger's Joker is my fav villain out of every media ever. Bless him

10:31 Yes a very good line. You called it and you're correct. 👍

"Depending on the time, he may be in one place or several." Several means his body will be blown into several pieces and places if they're late lol

I freakin love the Joker. He is one of the greatest villains ever Joker was also amazin in the Batman Arkham games....Akrham Asylum, City, Origins and Knight Espacially Origins Joker was amazing!

Tony"Tiny" Lister(R.I.P.) was great in his brief appearance as the inmate who threw a detonator out the boat's window. He played the President in "The Fifth Element."

The line...U complete me! From the great Jerry McGuire! The blow up clicker thing... add-libbed!

That was the Millennium Park Metra Station in Chicago where the Batpod drives thru. I believe the only locations they filmed in were Chicago and London, they skipped NYC this time I think

The old man the Joker says reminds him of his father at the party is an actual US Senator, Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. He is a huge Batman fan and appears several times in different Batman projects, including voicing animated characters. He takes all the money he's paid and his royalities and donates them to charity.

Your comment about Batman and the Joker having a picnic, talking it out, reminded me of another video. It's a comedy group called "Studio C" and the video is "Batman Needs Therapy".

Haha, loved your 'big ole' missile gun' line =D

these "first time" reactions are so good

heath ledger gave one of the best performances of all time in this wish he was still alive

the reason Heath kept licking his lip is due to the makeup prosthetics that made the knife wounds. Nolan, the director thought it looked very creepy, so he didn't tell Heath not to do it.

Don’t worry about missing some details it’s a very intense movie with all the little details. I know I didn’t catch everything until I’d seen it like 100 more times lol

That man who is the accountant in Wayne enterprise..becomes riddler one of he villains in batman universe

Joker just wants chaos

ENDGAME might be the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time But TDK is the ULTIMATE superhero movie

I think you missed that Harvey was using a trick coin--it had heads on both sides.
