GUYS this movie was sooooo dam GOOD, Honestly one of the best Movies I have watched!! I genuinely hope you enjoy the reaction as much as we enjoyed watching it- I got loads of new content on the Patreon too so if you wanna see that please go check it out link -www.patreon.com/ricopresents

The scene where joker was holding Rachel telling him about his scars maggie was looking at Christopher Nolan because she said heath freaked her out so much! Such an iconic film

The Dark Knight is easily one of the Best Batman movies ever made and is one of the highest grossing movies in 2008 of all time

RIP Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger's Joker is one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen.

I still remember when Rico convinced Monica to watch Iron Man, and she was all like "I don't like violence and fighting." Fast forward to this movie after The Joker's introduction and murder spree and Monica's like "I like him a lot."

Holy fuck I didn’t expect this soon let’s fucking goo!!!

Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was absolutely phenomenal, it made this movie one of the greatest of all time.

You know Christopher Nolan is known for his love of practical effects, right? Yup, they actually did flip that semi. In the middle of Chicago.

I watched this when it came out in theaters and the feeling I had after watching it was never replicated again. What a Masterpiece

You either die a HERO or you live long enough to see yourself become the VILLAIN!

MCU in this movie stands for Major Crimes Unit.

MCU in the film stands for “Major Crimes Unit”

Joker hostage tape on the news is probably the best scene to watch reactions to hands down

THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

15:14 her entire reaction is genuine that’s not acting because that was her first time seeing him in full makeup and it’s why heath ledger improvised for this scene which made it so much better

The Dark Knight is the greatest superhero movie of all time 🦸‍♂️

Glad to have you guys back reviewing movies. It's been a while.

Thing about the Joker is that he once said "If I'm gonna have a backstory, I prefer it to be multiple choice." That's why he changes his scar stories.

Joker knew Batman will go after Rachel, that's why he switch addresses. Every man's weaknesses is a girl.

Marvel will never reach this level of quality in a single film ever! If they didn't do it during the infinity saga, they probably never will. This remains today, the GOAT superhero movie.

Definitely the best comic book movies ever.

The pencil trick was a golden idea. Never fails to get a great reaction: shock, gasps, and then laughter.

Rico's posting as if he's got 10 videos lined up already for the month and I'm here for it. I remember when i used to wait for every Mondays for your MCU reactions. First video i ever saw of yours was Iron man 2 reaction i think and it's been amazing following you since then, being the OG member. Also you don't have to reply to me each time lol, just give me a heart. ❤️

Both of them being sprung during the interrogation scene is a testament to how good this movie is.

31:11 - This film came out before ANY MARVEL FILM EVER EXISTED. Almost a decade before the “cinematic universe” even existed. This may look modern, it isn’t. 2008. Seventeen years ago. It’s insane.

31:10 MCU in this case stands for major crimes unit.

The GOAT of superhero movies.

27:38, someone once called the relationship between Batman and Joker a homoerotic nightmare. Joker doesn't see Batman as an enemy to be stopped. He sees him as the other side of himself - the agent of order to his chaos. Almost like they are soulmates. LOL. In the comics, there have been people who have tried to out Batman's identity (like in this movie) or flat out end him's life. In some of those instances, the Joker has actually stepped up to stop them. He doesn't want Batman to die, he just wants him to pay attention and play the game. Some diehard fans and comics writers think the Joker actually has known for a while Batman is Bruce Wayne. But he doesn't see Bruce Wayne as a real person. He is simply the vessel that holds Batman. As Rachel said in the first movie "Bruce Wayne is the mask. Your true face is the one that Gotham's criminals fear"

Heath Ledger, RIP, wanted Christian Bale to really hit him in the interrogation room to make it feel more real so Christian did.

If you notice during the hospital scene where The Joker tells Harvey he's an agent of chaos, the Joker has his thumb on the Hammer of the gun the entire time. If Harvey had pulled the trigger, it wouldn't have gone off. He claims he's not a man with a plan, but he totally is.

This was the best of the 3 movies. Heath Ledger deserved the award he got for his portrayal of the Joker. The movie really captured what many of us older comic fans that grew out of the 1980s Batman stories. The Batman is not a good guy. Batman is just the other side of the coin with Joker. As Gordon says at the end of this movie "He is the hero Gothem deservers, He is not our white knight, he is our Dark Knight." It was in the 1980s we started seeing a turn in comics. The writing was that our so called heroes in comics are not the good guys. They all break laws. They are all damaged. Batman was the greatest of these in that he was a vigilante. He is as crazy as the bad guys. Heroes are the regular people that you know that rise to uncommon valor. Heroes don't wear masks but are the people you work with and go to service for society on a daily basis. The Dark Knight is trying to say this in this movie and they move on with that in the next.

Heath Ledger posthumously won Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of The Joker.

At the time of this movie "MCU" wasn't actually a term as it is nowadays.

Fun fact, the interrogation scene with joker and the guy that was trying to be a good guy, the director let Heath Ledger direct that part himself because he wanted to try. It turned out like you've seen in the movie and turned into pure gold.

Heath Ledger fucking nailed it. Highlight performance of this movie and one of the greatest performances in cinema. This film is a masterpiece.

Lmao I had the same reaction to the pencil scene the first time I saw it 😂

RIP to the greatest actor to play Joker Heath Ledger! The things he did to portray himself as the joker was mind blowing and scary. This movie has been and always will be top 10 (or specifically top 5) best superhero heroes ever made 💯💯💯💯.

"I haven't partaken in robberies much" Rico 2024 lol

Im glad botv of y'all are back in the spirits again we missed you 👌🏾. Cant wait for the marvel and Dune part 1 and 2 reactions

Dark Knight is still singular superhero film and film in general. But even more so at the time it came out. The main solid entries prior to this were Batman Begins and the first 2 X-men movies, and it stands over them as something still different. It wasn't cartoonish and campy like older Batman movies (which may have their merits). And it doesn't drown you with visually meaningless CGI or dizzying multiverses. It's dark, but not gritty for gritty sake. And of course what folks said: Heath Ledger, rest in peace, was like nothing else.

OH, I wasn't expecting it to be this early. Absolutely love The Dark Knight. "Here we go."

just to clarify yeah, the joker switched the addresses around so bruce thought he was saving rachel when in fact he was going to harvey brutal

"What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" is a limit test of Newton's laws of motion, which states all forces in opposition collide in equal and opposite reaction - but if one is immovable, and one is unstoppable,, what happens? It's an interesting thought experiment, because it suggests either both should stop and become immovable, both should start moving at unstoppable force, or.....both? Neither? As a metaphor, it's great for Batman, because as Joker says, Batman is truly incorruptible, and Joker is truly corrupting.

FUN FACT! In the comic books, Gordon's son James Gordon Jr. grew up to be one of the most vicious and twisted serial killers Batman ever had to take down.

I've always said that the very best stories (IMO at least) are those that have truly compelling antagonists. That holds true for the original Star Wars trilogy with Vader, it holds true with Avengers: Infinity War & Endgame with Thanos, it holds true with Terminator 2, it holds true with Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, it holds true with Spider-Man 2 with Doc Oc, it holds true for the Star Wars "Legends" Thrawn trilogy of novels... and of course, with this film as well.

Awesome reaction of my favorite Batman movie!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

OMG That was hysterical thinking that they were going to fly him to America hanging from the plane! What a great laugh!

First of all I would like to start by saying “RIP Heath Ledger” who delivered a fantastic and memorable performance as The Joker as it is still appreciated till this day. The Dark Knight is a great movie as the story is lovely, the reasoning behind everything and it is so Joker focused. But for me what makes this film great are the dialogues like “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”, “Lets put a smile on that face”, “Some men just want to watch the world burn”, “Batman has no limits” etc add so much to the beauty of this film and these lines just tell us what the whole movie is all about and secondly this movie being Joker focused as I mentioned before. Christopher Nolan with another brilliant movie. Have a great one guys.

Heath Ledger takes over any scene hes in,hes sole focus and view point of every scene in this film which he was involved with,Heath Ledger produces superhero movie on imbd standing as 4th best movie of all time,becuse of wonderful directing by CHris Nolan but i think mostly cause Heath Ledger was literally possesed to deliver this,mezmerising

"whatever doesent kill tou, simply makes you, stranger" Coldest line in superheroe movie. Heath stole the movie. The parts where the tapes showed hostages was actualy filmed and directed by Ledger. His laugh was so mad, theathers went silent for a minute.

35:02 the fucking balls on this guy" 🤣🤣🤣 perfectly said

The dark knight came out before the MCU even started so I highly doubt they were trying to throw shade/advertise their competitors since marvel wasn't even a competitor in the movie scene at the time. DC was still dominant back then and superman/batman were the top 2 superheroes with spiderman at 3.

One of the best superhero/comic book movies ever made. Probably one of the best movies ever made, period. 100% cinematic masterpiece. Heath Ledger gave a once in a lifetime performance as The Joker. Will never be topped imo.

Are these videos reuploads by any chance? I could swear I have watched the Batman Begins Video of you guys before you uploaded it last week. Or were these on your patreon long ago?

10 out of 10. This movie is a masterpiece and never gets old

This movie - like Logan - absolutely transcends its genre and is one of the better films ever made. It's a shame HL died and Nolan phoned in the third one so badly... really makes you wonder what could have been.

I think the love interest characters both in this and spider-man are written to showcase a more human and reasonable perspective on the vigilante life. MJ in spider-man is already a girl with some childhood trauma due to her upbringing living in a home where the father was verbally abusive. So she has a lot of trouble with connecting with people in a more real sense. She usually gets with the more jocky type but its all very surface level. But when shes with Peter she feels So when Peter is transparently signalling that he is head over heels for her every single time they talk, and he then rejects her over and over again. She understandably feels very betrayed in some sense. With Rachel in The Nolan batman films, as she is a prosecutor she understands that the vigilante life is not sustainable. The girlfriend part of Rachel cannot stomach seeing the man she loves constantly putting himself in harms way over and over and over again. And the prosecutor in her says that they need robust legal systems that the people can rely on and feel safe with, because Batman cannot be there forever. No matter how much Rachel expresses either the prosecutor side or the love interest side to Bruce, he keeps on choosing Batman. As she said in the letter "But now I'm sure the day won't come when you no longer need the batman". She gave up on him because she couldn't stomach holding on to the more intimate romance between them while he was Batman.

I deep dived into this movie and there's so much symbolism.

Damn this movie is so good.

Yes bank robberies are still one of the most successful crimes at a 65% success rate and they happen every so often but if you can get past the security these days you can pretty much get the money

MCU in Gotham is an acronym for "Major Crimes Unit." Its a taskforce for the GCPD (Gotham City Police Department)

Woah its been a whole day! Why is youtube so slow to remind me

"It's a motorbike!" 😅

Guys watch rush-hour movie.... Its comedy cop movies

Anyways rico you owe us a Deadpool 2 reaction

Loved the Incredibles reference :D You know, I'm a writer. My stories are about a new superhero universe I created, and it is thanks to the Incredibles I don't give them capes

Can’t wait to see you guys react the dark knight rises next.

Real fact monica, the actor the played the Joker in this movie died before the movie even released. People were doubting this casting before his death but when the film came Heath Ledger was the villain list before Thanos and his performance was amazing.

Maaan 2 videos in a roll....very nice, but you gotta treat us with atleast 1 more to make up for the months of not posting 🤣 keep it up

The people on each boat likely had the detonator for their own boats. If they pressed the button, they would have been blown themselves up. That would have been a very Jokery thing to do. Just like switching the addresses for Dent and Rachel.

LETSGO one of the best films, (not just in the superhero genre) EVER!!!

@31:13 MCU stands for Major Crimes Unit, lead by Gordon;@32:56 he wasn't willing to kill for her when she was alive. His coin had heads on both sides.

Nice! This is my favorite in the series.

MCU didn't stand for Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008. Only Iron Man and Incredible Hulk had come out at that point, and no one had coined the term 'Marvel Cinematic Universe' yet. Besides which, The Dark Knight was already finished months before Iron Man came out. In this case, MCU stands for Major Crimes Unit, which is an actual thing some police departments have, also known as a Major Case Squad. They typically investigate crimes like bank robbery. Which is what Jim Gordon's MCU is investigating at the start of The Dark Knight.

i still don't get why Gordon says at the end that Harvey killed 5 people, 2 of them cops. I can count 3 deaths, one of them a cop(Weurtz, Ramirez lived)

Keep grinding Rico dark knight is my favorite of heath Ledger performances 💪🔥🔥

From 1989, when critics said (Jack Nicholson's) "Joker stole the show . It wasnt even about batman." I remember thinking.....you dont understand COMIC BOOK heroes. It's ALWAYS about the villain. NOBODY wants to see Superman manhandle muggers or Spiderman beat up bank robbers or Iron man take on terrorist henchmen. The hero is DEFINED by the villain they overcome. Super strong superman has to fight the super smart, the little spider has to fight the giant octopus and the Iron man must fight the Iron Giant. The more engaging the villain, the more we are enganged in the showdown.Thanos, Hannibal the Cannibal, Hans Grueber, and Darth Vader

How has rico not seen this movie

He caters the smile story to the person he's about to cut.

47:28 The cops had already lied that they Took Harvey out of the hospital before it blew up.

MCU wasnt really a thing when this film came out so its simply a matter of coincidence lol

I think all of the jokers stories were true. the passion and details he puts into the things he says tells you everything you need to know about the joker. how to tell when the joker is lying, is when he tells stories with vey little passion put into the story he tells.

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 to the gangster: "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 to the girl: "fear your dreams, pretty lady."

YES!!!!

Why do so many Batman reactors not know that Harvey Dent is the Batman villain Two-face? I mean does no Batman movie fans don't open up a comic book?

Film is too good!!! 🔥🔥

genuinely confused on how you guys never saw this

love and blessings!

both of you dressed like robbers and saying you not robbers lmao , but in all honesty this tis one of the greatest superheroes movie ever made

54:13 - Yes, in the scene with psycho and Harvey, the authors showed the violent side of the character. But the only joke is that he flipped a coin to decide the fate of this unfortunate man. It was a psychological trick. Later, when Harvey gives the coin to Rachel, it comes to the realization that Harvey did not intend to kill him, since the two sides of the coin are the same. I should also note that on the first viewing, I was very struck by Rachel's death. It didn't fit in my head, how? In the first movie, they had such a cool backstory, and that's how it ended? But this is not a minus, but on the contrary, a very successful decision necessary for the development of the plot and the transformation of Harvey into a Two-face. Harvey Dent is one of the most tragic characters in this film, if not the most tragic. I love and hate his story at the same time. It hurts every time to look at what he became in the end. There is little to add about the Joker. Everything is said in the reaction and very well said) Bruce's story is also tragic, but it seems to me that the Joker, as it was correctly said, strongly attracts more attention.

CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO WATCH THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

😂The new profile pic! 12:17 Or thumbnail for ur next reaction😂
