Remember when Heath was announced to play Joker and everyone thought it was a terrible choice. Then he comes out and gives that fuckin performance. He collectively silenced every former critic.
they said the same thing about michael keaton when he was cast as batman!
never listen to critics, they will always criticize DC
@@jr5034 isn't that their job? To criticize?
But still, some critics need to stfu lmao
@@yshaaxateverything8799 The actual meaning of criticism is to give their opinion no matter good or bad. But in recent times there are 'critics' who think only negative opinion is an opinion which changed the meaning of the word
They said that about Affleck also
And are saying about Pattinson
Heath Ledger has left a legacy that will forever be remembered.
Now it’s Joaquin Phoenix’s Turn
@@fearzine732 this ain't it chief
Joaquin even after the movie he still being told and put on the second best joker
It's been I believe 10 years since this movie and Heath still has the top spot
I don't think anyone right now can really top him
Don't get me wrong I loved LOVED Joaquin's joker
I got some amazing vibes off of his performance but for some reason Heath still has it at a next level that I don't think is easily passable with another actor.
Although if you ask me I don't think it's right to put numbers on them because Heath and Joaquin both played a different type of joker
different timelines of the joker I mean and both did freaking amazing.
A legacy which will be alive forever🔥💯!
#TheJokerGalaxy
I wish I could thank Heath 😭
If he hadn’t died he’d still be a c list forgettable figure. He’s so overrated
“How the hell do we surpass what heath achieved with the joker?”
YOU DON’T!
Exactly right but Tom hardy gave it an excellent shake as bane
true
by creating an even more shittier batman movie, fuck nolans film making is so shit
They didn’t.
@@lincthomas7178 Lol this guy...
I still feel like Christian Bale doesn’t get enough praise for his performance either in the Dark Knight. I really think he complimented Heath’s acting in that movie to really make you feel Batman’s conflict and deciding who he’s going to become to stop men like him. It was a great movie.
He also did a good job portraying the struggles of somebody with throat cancer.
not that he didn't do a good job rather heath's performance was so good it overshadowed all his fellow actors in the movie. it's just a different vibe
No sorry, Bale as Batman was not good. His voice, his appearance and wtf was wrong with his mouth in dark knight rises? He did a good job as Bruce Wayne tho
@@Japhu he was great.
@@Japhu you are drunk
He played the best Joker IMO.
Pennywise the Dancing Clown there are 2 good Jokers: Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill
@@uscman mark hamil never play as joker
Adolf Hitler 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ he VOICED The Joker in the Animated Series and the Arkham games.
Andrei Aromanesei But it is though...
It’s not even close tbh. And it’s one thing to just voice, but to act it out and be the voice is a whole other level. Joker is the best by miles
I hope Aaron Eckhart knows he was amazing too and people consider him to be an outstanding version of Harvey Dent
He was, I thought he was one of the best parts of the movie
He was badass as TwoFace
He was absolutely amazing in the movie, the transition from Harvey Dent to Two Face was incredible, his acting was incredible.
He killed Harvey Dent
True, Eckhart delivered a great performance and with a character that doesn't give the actor a lot - an idealistic dreamer and a decent person. But he found something in it that made the character memorable. His Dent wasn't just some idealistic, naive doofus, he was a real man - smart, educated, tough, courageous, but he just happened to choose a path that really couldn't have ended in any other but tragic way. Not in this world.
It's actually funny Nolan originally wanted Matt Damon, he wouldn't be half as good as Eckhart was.
13 years later.. after 2 more Jokers on film, countless Marvel movies and shows, Heath Ledger is still the #1 villain apart of the #1 movie
I think mark hamil plays Hop on Xbox⁉️ better joker
He played Joker so amazingly well that you forget it’s Heath Ledger under there. In my opinion the best superhero film ever, and it’s a timeless masterpiece.
Christian bales accent caught me off guard 😂😂
wtf he's british??
You should listen to his epic rant on the Terminator Salvation set.
@@edgarscrooples6833 wales is in britain
@@edgarscrooples6833 thought u were one of them americans who says dumb shit like it’s not in britain
@@sym6696 he wasn’t saying that he’s not british. it’s just wales is a less common british accent so he was specifying. this is coming from an englishman btw
Heath set the bar high, on his interpretation of the Joker, not anytime soon or maybe, forever to be surpassed. Heath wasn't playing the Joker, he was the Joker, he owned that character. Batman:The Dark Knight, is by far the best, of the Nolan Batman trilogies, and the batman franchise.
Phoenix, didn't disappoint. He's the nearest you can get .
The dark Knight is my favorite
@@TheClassicMagda Agreed! 😀😎👍 I'm Bat🦇Man!!!! 😂😆🤣
@@ericechols7638 But I wish I could thank Heath for playing the joker but now he's an angel. Apart from the joker I like him in 10 things I hate about you
@@TheClassicMagda 10 things i hate about you, was a good movie. Just remember & watch the dossier of movies he left behind, & that's thanks enough to him. RIP Heath 😇
Whenever someone says "The Joker", Heath Ledger's Joker is the one I see in my mind. Sad he's gone, but he'll never be forgotten.
Truth, I too picture Heath first when someone mentions the Joker however when I read Batman comics I always here Mark Hamill's Joker in my head.
@@tristanwood4741 That is a very good point, Mark Hamill is definitely the voice of the Joker.
This is coming from a hardcore marvel fan: no superhero film, EVER, will be as good as this film.
Fck up
That's Facts 👏🏻
The trilogy in general changed superhero films. Its gritty and dark with witty humour and huge emotion and a great soundtrack. Imo only infinity War and endgame can compare to how good the dark Knight trilogy was.
@@sarcasticmind1765 No man, just no, think again. I really like Winter Soldier but it's no where near The Dark Knight, not even close. They are very different movies. The Dark Knight has amazing acting, from Heath to Christian Bale, Winter Soldier doesn't have that.
@@urazoktay7940 I didn't said it was as great as tdk but it's equivalent in mcu. Like it's the best thing ever made by marvel
R.I.P. Heath Ledger. :'(
You know its hard to forget he's only in the film for 40 minutes cause his performance is so powerful
Yup. Much like Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. We don't actually see much of him but you'll never forget him once you see him...
This movie doesn't age. It just doesn't. I find something new every time I watch it.
Saddest but one of the best lines - 'I think you and I are destined to do this forever'. They truly are.
Still the best comic book film ever.
People keep saying Endgame is. Lol
@@James-xw8li well thats other opinion if u have ur joker thing they have they endgame thing just dont go there opinion just dont care.btw no hate
I would say the best superhero film ever, as besides scarecrow and the riddler, TDK doesn’t really pull too much lore from the comics. You have two face but I’m saying like subconsciously infinity war is probably the best comic book movie because it uses a lot of lore and ideas form the comics without it feeling cut and paste, and since the Thanks wins I mean like come on that’s the cherry on top
@@James-xw8li Endgame is more of a comic adapted book movie whereas I’d say The Dark Knight is more comic inspired movie. TDK is more for people who like realistic takes on the genre and Endgame are for people who enjoy a film that knows it’s a comic book movie
I always think Marvel films and tv shows are more childish. Still good just different to how dark and gruesome the performances for Dc films and TV shows can get
"don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want"
heath ledger
The dark knight was a true masterpiece and heath ledger as joker was perfection
Precisely, The Dark Knight is a modern classic, a masterpiece as well as the Heath's Joker.
Heath will always be remembered as the measuring stick! That clapping scene always gives me chills, no matter how many times I see it!!
and that was improvised, which made it better👍
Still watch this movie about 6-8 times a year
His joker is disturbingly scary and in a realistic modern era. Why TDK is still a staple point for a well done superhero film up to today just proves that Nolan did an excellent job in finding the right people and directing the movie well.
Remarkable the best JOKER ever Love & miss you our darling handsome Heath Ledger rip Angel😍😘❤❤❤
I’m a HUGE Batman fan, always have been since I was a kid, and I’ve seen all of them pretty much, even the cartoons, and I’ve got to say. Heath has been my favorite joker of all time imo. 🤷🏻♂️ my guy absolutely killed it. May he RIP 🙏🏼
The only movie I've seen Heath Ledger on the big screen. No Joke! RIP Heath.
Heath performance is so REALISTIC that I forgot all about Christian Bale and the cast...fr
Great comment from Bale "Nothing to do with the circumstances now". This is so true, Ledger would still be admired the world over because of this acting
Let's put smile on your face 🃏
Got his joker tatted on my right arm. My favorite actor and so sad he passed away so young! I can’t imagine how hard it’s been for his ex wife and daughter!
You can't get a better Joker than Phoenix and Ledger. They where both so amazing. But in my opinion Heath was a legendary Joker. He set the stakes so high and he still surpassed that with the acting he did as the Joker. We lost a True actor. The whole movie was amazing and was one of the best Batman movies just in my opinion. The whole crew gave it there all. Much respect to that. And RIP Heath 💔🙏 you where the most inspiring and most loved Joker on my side. 🙌🏼 Just a fantastic movie and fantastic acting to
Arguably the single best acting performance of this century.
Whoever decided to make the joker makeup messy, deserves a lot of credit. It makes him look even scarier and adds to his idgaf demeanor
Really his entire costume... the faded Purple and Green tattered suit keeps it accurate but somehow realistic as if a person would actually wear something like that, and add the messy makeup - It was subtle and spectacular.
From what I read Heath did his make up
Heath contributed so much to the character and his devolpment I wouldn’t be surprised if he came up with the ideas for the makeup
I have never been a fan of Batman but The Dark Knight is one of my all time favourite movies, mainly because of the Joker. Heath Ledger's Joker is my all time favourite character from absolutely anything! No matter how many times I watch that movie, I always love that character and Heath Ledger's performance is amazing.
There are very few films that I will watch sometimes purely for one actors performance, but this is one of them. Just watching Heath in this role is astonishing. You can’t catch him acting and you can’t find him in the performance. Amazing! He truly deserves every accolade he gets for his performance. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Heath is the reason people remember this movie. The reason there is more Joker movies, he revamped the character and ppl fkn fell in love. Now he is dead. Please remember him and how amazing an actor he was even at such a young age. On a non movie note... Was also a genuine kind soul. ( i grew up near him) We miss you Heath
Heath set the standard at a level that i dont think no one will surpass him
I grew up watching the development of joker and once heath got the role he was outstanding
Hate that we lost him
watched The Dark Knight the other night, never gets old. RIP Heath
I just wish he wouldve stayed with us for longer...😭 I love him, he is so great!!
Heath Ledger is the only actor who star with Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal and both succeed
Christain was always the biggest rider for Heath and his performance, he wanted him to get his flowers and never felt outshined, a class act
RIP Heath Ledger, he was a good joker. And good actor
Over 13 years old and still feels like it came out last month
R.I.P. Heath Ledger you are a amazing and a legend mate. We all miss you from australia😢🇦🇺🙏🙏
R.I.P. Heath Ledger (1979-2008)
Happy late birthday Heath Ledger and may you Rest in Peace
He is the real super villain with his super voice. Nolan made his character that cannot be made in future.
I was just 3 years old when this movie came and I watched the movie when I was 8 or 7 years old god I couldn’t understood what is happening at the movie but now I’m 16 I do know everything about the dark knight I lived with that film and I will always watching it till the end of my life thank you Heath for the best movie in the world and don’t forget that you do exist in here 🔥🥲😢
Heath is probably my favorite live action Joker and Mark Hamill is my favorite voice of the Joker.
I'm so used to Christian Bale doing an American accent, that when he does his regular voice, it sound slike he's putting on an accent
Watched this again recently. Amazing
"HIT ME!"
- The Joker
Best Joker Ever
It’s amazing when you think about all the years that’ve passed by
Legendary actor category Heath Ledger will always remembered as the unique crazy joker of the century ⭐😎⭐😎⭐🔥👍
Oh god, i miss Heath so much. It was this one role for a lifetime, that most actors are still waiting for and maybe will never find.
i would have spent my gift for life to see him
Legend! Because of him I have watched the dark knight a thousand times. And that intro, MY GOD, "I believe that whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you.... stranger" That was a perfect description of himself 🤔
Rest In Peace. [LEGEND] HEATH LEDGER!
I was blown away by the joker. It put Batman back into an enjoyable place for me and the joker role was one of my top favourite characters. The way the film was scripted I really hoped to see him back. I didn’t find out about his death until years afterwards and was utterly gutted - not only a shame he couldn’t find help, but also sad he didn’t get to see the recognition his act deserved. People may think his praise is tainted because of pity, but that’s not right. The acting was brilliantly disturbing and twisted yet darkly humorous without taking us all to a place of misery.
I watched TDK the other day, after not seeing it for years. It holds up, I think it's easily Christopher Nolan's best movie, it's the most well-rounded and original one, and one that found the best balance between commercial, accessible and epic filmmaking and something grounded, artful, thougtful and ambitious.
And it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for Heath Ledger. His performance is just remarkable and rare, as Maggie Gyllenhaal adequatly puts it. Every little gesture, etc. was perfect, it was such a specifically crafted character. Besides Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone, I don't there is a more iconic game-changing performance than this. It elevates the entire movie.
Bale: “if Chris decides to make a 3rd movie...”
Me: “...that was already part of the Plaannnn!”
In Loving Memory Of
Heath Andrew Ledger
(4/4/1979-1/22/2008)
I'm so satisfied to finally watch Christian Bale in an interview. That's so rare, I just thought he's in a vast, white void when he's not acting, waiting to be awesome on a movie set again
Heath is the only joker I can stare at his fucking face for hours and cannot see heath ledger it’s insane
We still miss you Heath ❤️😭😢
First time anyone overshadow the christopher nolan
Aaron Eckhart was brilliant in this movie.
No offense to Joaquin Phoenix, he's an incredible S tier actor, but he didn't bring the Joker to life the way Heath did, you weren't legitimately terrified of his Joker the same way, and yes part of that is the direction & setting of the film, but I still believe Heath far surpasses any other Joker
Not gonna lie. I don't even care to try to watch any new Joker movies. I'm sure eventually I'll give that one a shot, but I'm just really not interested. I have a solidified joker memory in my mind and its just perfect. I don't want a reenactment. I don't want to debate. If I watched it right now I'd just be comparing and dissecting.
Well that was because Joaquin's take was completely different. We are supposed to feel pity for the character. Whereas we were supposed to feel threatened from Heath's joker. Completely different plotlines. And both did a pretty damn job in doing their respective takes.
They're different interpretations of the character in separate realities. I would argue there is little to compare beyond the fact that they are both called Joker. But really they're not the same person and a comparison is pretty moot. They're both solid performances of different people.
Jack Nicholson and Sid Caesar are also fantastic as the Joker. These two are more in line with what people see the Joker as in the DC universe so they make more sense to compare with Ledger, whom I believe was inspired by these two and some part Mark Hamill's interpretation as well. Heath took all that and created the most rounded character and was the best of those doing *that* character. Joaquin Phoenix took that established character, threw it away, and made a completely different character. It's no longer "The Joker" it's more "a Joker." I don't feel these two interpretations compare because of that.
If it was a more traditional Batman film than imo it would be different.
that's because that's not the Joker. that's a Taxi Driver remake and they happened to call him Joker.
Heath blew Joaquin out of the water. They’re not even comprable imo.
Rest in peace Heath Ledger I wish I could thank you for playing the joker but now you are an angel
You know your a legend when Christian bale is in awe of your performance
Why so serious ?????
Not to piss on Joaquin Phoenix’s acting skills and the Academy Award, but I just can’t stop imagining what level of acting Heath Ledger would have achieved and how much higher he could’ve set the benchmark if he were still alive and had been a part of The Joker movie.... Just gives me chills
The best three superhero movies ever made our Batman Begins The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises
He's was just pure amazing !!!!
The best joker performance
He stole the show everytime he speaks
Heaths joker was original a kind of new take on the joker, the best? Its subjective. Legendary performance? Indeed.
Its so sad that we never had the chance to see him play the joker again.
It could hace been even better.
'See . . I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.' Heath Ledger was AWEsome in 'the Dark Knight.' The Joker was so scary and so disturbing in a very skilled professional way that that 'performance' changed my memories of him in some of his movies that I saw and maybe didn't think were so great. Now, I'm like . . wow . . I saw Ledger in 'A Knight's Tale,' what a great movie that was, when I actually thought it was kinda weak. It's kinda true of life, too, though. You do ONE super amazing thing. It changes all you did and the future, too. Course. Ledger's gone now. Bane is up there, though, in 'the Dark Knight Rises.'
This film totally deserve it’s 3rd place on the list or imdbs top 100
I think it’s the best performance in a movie ever.
Where did the sweet sweet guy when he start to play the joker? I mean.. it's so incredible to see him transform to the most lunatic villain in the most exceptional way. Brilliant. Such a talent
"He was simply ahead of the curve."
RIP. May God bless his soul
Such a great film
Rest In Peace Heath
I love him since Ten things I hate about you. One of the very best actors.
I never seen better acting than this guy in any movie
The best Joker in all the history.remarquable job
It's simple, everytime I remember joker I always remember Heath Ledger
i love this monster
couldnt get any new interviews for the 10 year anniversary ?
Heath Ledger is the greatest actor I have ever watched to watch on d big screen
Any movie with a joker from this point would flop ..thats how good he was ......damn r.i.p. bro❤
I think he played the best joker but the way people say it affected him, it almost sounds like it wasn't even worth it with the mental toll it took on him. It's so sad rip heath 😢 🙏
Is it just me or is there anyone else as well who thinks that Christian bale didn't receive the acknowledgment and praise he should have. He was a great batman and personally my favorite.
Maggie gylenhall is the one who got grabbed by the joker and that scene was all improvised. She tried to pull away and everyone was looking at Christopher Nolan and he gave that look don’t stop keep rolling
He would carry entire DC
I love this move my Batman and And the joker such a great movie I love Christian
Rip Heath Ledger
He is a legendary actor... He is living with... that joker in all over world....
