Would’ve been nice if he lived to play the Joker in a Joker solo film. One where he gets sent to Arkham and he meets Harleen Quinzel, his doctor. And how they end up falling in love, escaping and fight Batman again, but it would be a film focused on the Joker (as opposed to The Dark Knight focusing on both the Joker and Batman). It would show Joker’s and Harley’s interactions with each other, their plotting and how they set up traps and schemes.
I still think Mark has the best version of the Joker, but Heath's Joker has the best overall performance. Mark Hamill is just the Joker I hear in my head when reading the comics.
@Patreek SterfetishOf course he doesn't need to explain, however, I would like him to, as he made the choice to voice a claim for which he provided no evidence. By the way, I've seen the film...more than once.
God, i miss him so much. The saddest thing is that his last diary entry before he died was "BYE BYE" that's just so sad to think about. Wish you were here Heath
Ill never forget seeing this movie in the Lincoln Center IMAX opening night. His first scene, the audience was dead quiet. It’s like he took the air out of the room. People roared with applause after he was done. This movie is just too amazing man. I wish we could have seen the story continue. RIP Heath. Your performance was legendary.
God, I can only imagine what the IMAX experience brought to you and the crowd. I was fortunate enough to see The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX, and that was a spectacle to behold, but FUCK (swearing permitted here), I am jealous. I HOPE they bring back this entire series in IMAX like they are starting to do with other movies.
We need more people like this, people who know and are actually interested in the character and have respect for not only the ones before who played the same role before but also being original enough to make their own versions.
@@erickpoint0 It's going to start going a lot faster right about now. I'm 34 and it feels like I was 24 yesterday. Best way to make the time not fly by as much is to keep enriching your life with new experiences. Life seems to fly by because things become habitual and you're kinda on autopilot. So always be trying new things. I want to try become a registered SCUBA diver. Then after that I want to try free diving. Travel. See the world. Live in the moment, here and now.
@@christiangasior4244 Great advice, and I would just add to keep setting goals. When you set goals time doesn't go as fast because you are busy working on achieving what you set out to achieve.
I remember where I was when I heard he died. I was in high school and we were getting out of rehearsals for a musical we were doing and as I was waiting for my mom to pick me up, one of the other actors yelled, "Heath Ledger Died"! It was just an absolute shocking and devastating moment and it's such a tragedy to have loss someone so talented who could have given us so much more but we lost too son :-(
3:10 I always loved that scene where he throws the entirety of the champagne out before taking a swig. When an actor makes the decision to eat or drink during a scene they may literally have to repeatedly eat or drink every retake, but he totally eliminates that by humorously pouring out the drink.
Black Manta no he’s psychotic for throwing it out and then proceeding to still act as if he’s drinking it. it has nothing to with him being full liquid throughout multiple takes.
Hussain Al-Janaby You do realize that this is liquor we are talking about? I’m not talking about water. We are talking about champagne. I’m sure he threw some out just in case he had to do this scene multiple times, he doesn’t wanna get drunk.
To this day the saddest celebrity death I've ever experienced. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the day the news broke. Still so sad that we will never get to see the amazing future he could have had
Ledger completely changed when bring out Joker character..his voice,his walk,his speak,his character,his hair,his eyes,his mad and everything,that is why ledger is the greatest joker ever,he change his mind to bring out this character perfectly and nobody knows that struggles of ledger to do it,respect++
God, it really makes you wonder what it would be like if he was still here. But I do see a lot of similarities between Ledger’s Joker and Phoenix’s Joker so I am excited to see what comes next.
coffee yeah there are for sure similarities. The good thing is that Joaquin is a great actor to take on this role. He turned down Dr. Strange because he didn’t want to sign on for a bunch of movies with Marvel, so I hope he does do it with DC lol. I think he’d be great to have in the DCEU. But I don’t think he wants to be apart of so many movies and sequels.
Calamity Jones this scorses film will 90% most likely be a standalone, which is totally fine, scorsese doesnt male movies that have sequels, hes a director that makes sure to tell his story in a full film so most likely this will be joaquins only joker film
TwistedOwl ahhh just found out hes producing the film, but i thought he was directing especially since de niro was in it and there could be influence from king of comedy, either way i highly doubt a sequel will be made for this, which is good
When people first heard that he was playing the Joker, they didn't feel that he was right for the role because he looks as far from a psychotic person as you can imagine. He has this perfectly sweet and innocent look to him. But in retrospect, I think that that is what made him perfect for the role. Because evil pretends to be innocent.
Creeper Hunter5 mark was great as joker but he’s just the voice. Heath has to do the voice and the actual performance. Much tougher. This is why heath gets the edge.
I recall my experience of watching the dark knight in a theatre vividly. "Edge of the seat" was a pharase tailor made for this movie. In my opinion the dark knight was the best superhero movie made till date and will continue to be so for decades. I was completely blown away with heaths interpretation of joker. RIP brother.
One of the best characters ever portrayed on film. The Dark Knight will never be touched as far as comic book movies go. It’s truly a masterpiece, and will go down as a classic of American Cinema.
"How do you do tackle that without just doing a version of Jack?" Simple...you do it RIGHT! Jack was NOT a good Joker despite what the masses say. Heath did what can only ever be described as the absolute DEFINITIVE version of Joker that has, or ever will be done.
@@christiangasior4244 well its only going to get worse for you. 23 movies, 22 billion dollars. That type of success is unprecendented in cinema history. It wont matter if phase 4,5, or 6 are as good as the first saga, so long as the marvel fanbase is happy, you know disneys not going to stop pumping out these movies
I had seen the trailer 3 times. Before he died and the movie came out. I didn’t realize that was heath ledger. That’s how good he was. That’s how excited I was to see it. And he was AMAZING.
Gentle Singularity the only reason people like heaths joker is because he died, let’s be honest if he didn’t die the role wouldn’t be nearly acclaimed and he wouldn’t of gotten the oscar
TwistedOwl I actually don't agree. His performance was really good and his death was more of a shock. I don't think the praise came from sympathy, it came from the fact that he literally went out with a huge impact. My opinion though.
He was absolutely incredible in Brokeback Mountain. i hate romantic movies, but that movie was something else and it was mostly because of Heath Ledger's godly performance.
Heath Ledger did an amazin performance as the Clown Prince of Crime. He really brought his own take on his version of the joker, he didnt portray this role like how Cesar Romero or Jack Nicholson played the character, he took a classic psychotic villain and made it his own. He made the character more terrifying especially when it came down to his voice that deep grunting voice was what made him terrifying and him licking his lips is like a hungry mad dog right there. Perfect creativity on his performance
Heath was such a beautiful man outside and on the inside rest in peace heath we will love you until the end of time and keep your legacy going on and strong!
THIS .... THIS was the BEST depiction ,closest and most accurate Joker we all had been gifted in the film industry.... to bad it was short like Lived... he was a dedicated actor.... never forget his talent and performance 🌹❤️ ... rip Heath❤️
Writing a character is one thing but the ability to interpret words into actions is an art all it's own. Ledger brought life and direction into the character that I'm sure even the writers never thought possible. At the time a lot of people were envisioning Jim Carry as the Joker or Robin Williams. But Ledger came out of nowhere and did something unbelievable.
One of the best performances of all time By potentially one of the greatest actors of all time, sad we didn’t get to see him in more movies after Dark Knight. RIP
Heath said he wanted more of his joker.He thought of starting Akram asylum.he gossiped with his make up artist.wish he hadnt died. Pls give us heath back and take justin or BTS❤❤
The Dark Knight easily categorizes as a cinema classic because of Heath performance..he deserved that Academy Award and many generations of actors that come after Heath Ledger will know why R.I.P Heath ❤️
He's the real deal Joker in DC history. He's the most motivating and terrifying joker I've watched in all of DC movie. The Dark Knight is always my no. 1 favorite and most watched movie of a time and I'll never forget him from his legendary acting skills that turned their heads around from his influence and I'll give it a standing ovation to that. You'll always be my no. 1 joker heath ledger 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
he just seemed like such a bright and colorful and full of life person. he seemed like he had so much to give and so much to do and seeing him smiling kinda breaks my heart because i truly wish he could had lived to feel as good as he made the people around him feel. people describe him as if he was light and i, truly, believe he exhaled that feeling because there are people like that. i did not know him at all but as a human being to another, i wished he had more time.. it reminds me of cameron boyce’s death and it’s scary to think one day you go to sleep and you don’t wake up. just.. live your lives, allow yourselves to live and love and to be loved and to feel happiness. you don’t know how much time you have.
One of the greatest performances in movie history. With what happened, for a long time I believed “The Joker” should be untouchable, never to be done on screen again, to respect this completely iconic and legendary performance. The trailer for the new “Joker” movie brought me here, though. And if anyone can bring another out another legendary “Joker” performance, it’s Joaquin Phoenix. I think enough time has passed and the new movie just feels like it’s the right project to bring back The Joker character. I will always love Ledger and his version of the Joker. It deserves every bit of respect and recognition it received. I’ll never forget seeing “The Dark Knight” in theaters for the first time. Walking out after it ended, I was in complete awe of what I had just witnessed. Still had the goosebumps on my arm. Hopefully Joaquin Phoenix and his version of The Joker becomes iconic in his own way. One last thing: Damn you, Jared Leto. Damn you.
I think he got scared.. He gave everything he had and maybe he was scared people would burn him to the ground given the shoes he had to fill. Or, even worse, he figured he'd nail it and knew he would rock the world and that scared him even more. I can understand tbh, its just a shame.
Bacon Sizzle True, thats why I said I *think* he got scared, I don't know.. Hell maybe he was hitting the blues and saw no way out, maybe he was dealing with it since birth, its not all that important tbh..
the greatest thing all is, leave some video of you, doing things that makes you be remembered by. so when you leave.... some people could still smile even when they're sad. 😔
And to think that he was going to return as the Joker in the third film had he not die. This was confirmed by multiple people who were apart of the movie including Heath’s sister. Imagine an encore of that performance in part 3 along with Hardy’s Bane. Would’ve been epic! RIP Heath aka the greatest Joker ever...
After all that time working his butt off to be this wonderfully amazing character that I adore he never even lived long enough to see all his hard labor he lived long enough to give the world this phenomenal character though now his bones are all ash in 2019 he still lives in our hearts
The part where he spills all the champagne and tries to drink it whether it was accidental or not was pure genius and had me dying the first time I ever saw it.
I never expected him to be so young. He always looked older to me. Maybe it was just the makeup. Rest In Peace, Heath Ledger. You truly gave us the performance of a lifetime.
Dead doesn't matter the guy is a legend for playing the joker once I watch the movie he was a badass joker this guy is one hell of a joker dead never forgotten
Its sad he died because if he was alive he could've return. Only if ledger was still alive but it makes me happy that they at least made this in honor of ledger and that he won an award for best supporting actor
He took a bite of the forbidden apple so to speak, what he became in a movie role/character overtook what he was feeling and how he viewed society in reality. A switch was flipped and he found himself having the thoughts of "the Joker" that he created on his own and in doing so he found a freedom. A freedom that is often felt by true sociopaths, he knew this and in a way was at odds because he knew right from wrong but that was being overtaken by this personality that he created and once you go down a road to the point that he did, being the type of person he is/was, it was consuming and he began to see that overtaxing him completely, and found out that it was not only not frightening, but pleasurable and the real way to live life in the screwed up world/society we live in. He enjoyed a role to the point of wanting to live it in reality. But what do I know.....I'm only the one who tells you it's ok to bite the 🍎....I won't tell you how to live your life, that's why you were created with free will, you have to choose how you want to live your life.
This video was so helpful I liked it mid-way, but soon after I tried to like it again without even knowing. Thats why this video is “to good to be true”.
Not just the best joker performance. One of the best performances ever put on film period. It saddens me to think of what that man could have done..
Would’ve been nice if he lived to play the Joker in a Joker solo film. One where he gets sent to Arkham and he meets Harleen Quinzel, his doctor. And how they end up falling in love, escaping and fight Batman again, but it would be a film focused on the Joker (as opposed to The Dark Knight focusing on both the Joker and Batman).

I know . He was great with the 14 or so films he did. I wish he didn't die
Crazy to think about how the dceu would probably be so much more different if Heath was still alive
There was supposed to be another Batman film with the joker after the dark knight but due to his passing they just made it about bane is what I heard
I still think Mark has the best version of the Joker, but Heath's Joker has the best overall performance.
Mark Hamill is just the Joker I hear in my head when reading the comics.
He was worried about being a bad joker compared to jack but ended up being the greatest joker of all time
OCSJC :. Jack was a mediocre joker in terms of accuracy but a good actor overall
Animated series hands down but ledger was pretty epic.
James H The door is right there
@@psychosis9343 ment to say ledger, god damn that was one bad accident lmao!

he just seemed like such a bright and colorful and full of life person. he seemed like he had so much to give and so much to do and seeing him smiling kinda breaks my heart because i truly wish he could had lived to feel as good as he made the people around him feel. people describe him as if he was light and i, truly, believe he exhaled that feeling because there are people like that. i did not know him at all but as a human being to another, i wished he had more time.. it reminds me of cameron boyce’s death and it’s scary to think one day you go to sleep and you don’t wake up. just.. live your lives, allow yourselves to live and love and to be loved and to feel happiness. you don’t know how much time you have.
One of the greatest performances in movie history. With what happened, for a long time I believed “The Joker” should be untouchable, never to be done on screen again, to respect this completely iconic and legendary performance. The trailer for the new “Joker” movie brought me here, though. And if anyone can bring another out another legendary “Joker” performance, it’s Joaquin Phoenix. I think enough time has passed and the new movie just feels like it’s the right project to bring back The Joker character.
I will always love Ledger and his version of the Joker. It deserves every bit of respect and recognition it received. I’ll never forget seeing “The Dark Knight” in theaters for the first time. Walking out after it ended, I was in complete awe of what I had just witnessed. Still had the goosebumps on my arm. Hopefully Joaquin Phoenix and his version of The Joker becomes iconic in his own way.
One last thing: Damn you, Jared Leto. Damn you.
I think he got scared.. He gave everything he had and maybe he was scared people would burn him to the ground given the shoes he had to fill. Or, even worse, he figured he'd nail it and knew he would rock the world and that scared him even more.
I can understand tbh, its just a shame.
What.
You couldn't possibly understand. No one knows why he did it except him. This is something that could have been haunting him for years.
Bacon Sizzle True, thats why I said I *think* he got scared, I don't know.. Hell maybe he was hitting the blues and saw no way out, maybe he was dealing with it since birth, its not all that important tbh..
no it was said that he start having nightmare about his Joker . so he overdose
Marty Benson nahhhh
RIP best joker you will forever be missed
Best joker/ acting ever! He is the Joker! I always compare good acting to Jack Sparrow, and he takes this above and beyond
The man was a true genius.
the greatest thing all is, leave some video of you, doing things that makes you be remembered by. so when you leave.... some people could still smile even when they're sad. 😔
THE HELL there is water in my eyes..
Am i weeping?
Oh GOD
😭😭😭
And to think that he was going to return as the Joker in the third film had he not die. This was confirmed by multiple people who were apart of the movie including Heath’s sister. Imagine an encore of that performance in part 3 along with Hardy’s Bane. Would’ve been epic! RIP Heath aka the greatest Joker ever...
What a talented actor
After all that time working his butt off to be this wonderfully amazing character that I adore he never even lived long enough to see all his hard labor he lived long enough to give the world this phenomenal character though now his bones are all ash in 2019 he still lives in our hearts
Greatest performance I've ever seen from an actor. You truly believe Heath is the joker.
Heath Legend!! 💪🏾☄🔥💯💯
Why is that guy whispering?
The part where he spills all the champagne and tries to drink it whether it was accidental or not was pure genius and had me dying the first time I ever saw it.
I'm convinced had he lived, we would have had him as Loki instead of Hiddleston.
Definitely!
RIP. We would have loved to have seen a Heath Ledger joker sequel.
The greatest performance of the 20th century!!
One of the best Joker, that i ever knew...miss HIM.... the Legend...
Joaquin will do Heath proud
The lip licking could also be interpreted as Tardive Dyskinesia, a possible side-effect from taking anti-psychotic medications.
There should be a law: anyone who invents a time machine should as the first thing they do bring back heath.
I never expected him to be so young. He always looked older to me. Maybe it was just the makeup.
Rest In Peace, Heath Ledger. You truly gave us the performance of a lifetime.
Dead doesn't matter the guy is a legend for playing the joker once I watch the movie he was a badass joker this guy is one hell of a joker dead never forgotten
heath is the reason i love the joker and clowns r.i.p heath ledger you changed the world
Its sad he died because if he was alive he could've return. Only if ledger was still alive but it makes me happy that they at least made this in honor of ledger and that he won an award for best supporting actor
He took a bite of the forbidden apple so to speak, what he became in a movie role/character overtook what he was feeling and how he viewed society in reality. A switch was flipped and he found himself having the thoughts of "the Joker" that he created on his own and in doing so he found a freedom. A freedom that is often felt by true sociopaths, he knew this and in a way was at odds because he knew right from wrong but that was being overtaken by this personality that he created and once you go down a road to the point that he did, being the type of person he is/was, it was consuming and he began to see that overtaxing him completely, and found out that it was not only not frightening, but pleasurable and the real way to live life in the screwed up world/society we live in. He enjoyed a role to the point of wanting to live it in reality. But what do I know.....I'm only the one who tells you it's ok to bite the 🍎....I won't tell you how to live your life, that's why you were created with free will, you have to choose how you want to live your life.
he was one of my favorite actors very sad that he died too young.
hands down one of the greatest actors of all time
you sold me with that "why so serious". hes a legend.
It's nice that Heath family has dos video's of him with his camera to remember him...📹📸📀
Still my favorite real world Joker, although Jack Nicholas does a fantastic comic book portrayal.
This video was so helpful I liked it mid-way, but soon after I tried to like it again without even knowing. Thats why this video is “to good to be true”.
