Best Joker Scenes in The Dark Knight | HBO Max
Heath Ledger. The guy nobody thought could play the Joker, not only nailed the role and gave the best performance of his career, but he also made Batman a side character in his own movie.
Apparently, this fact was something that Christian Bale was deeply worried about pre-release. Everyone was essentially lined up to go and see Heath's/The Joker's new movie as opposed to the new "Batman movie". You know you're a legend when...
To be fair, like no batman movie has focused solely on Batman lmao, they always focus on the villians more
@@SolomonFactor Batman Begins is probably the only one that escapes this fact.
Wrong.when batman and joker meet,batman will always be the side character.no matter the media is.thats why batman story is compelling.it comprises rich story abt the villain and people around him
How accurate is this!
Heath Ledger really created one hell of an iconic role. Wish he could've seen the love he still gets to this day.
The saw the exact same comment in several heath ledger videos... I hope this one is original
Lol and how do you know for certain that Heath isn’t seeing it! :)
The best Joker and it will be a long time, if ever, if it is beaten.
the last scene where he said that madness just need a little push, was diabolic, because he described in his role, that a lot of people are always in the edge, without knowing the line is an illusion to maintain order, and that the trully powerfull people have no lines or morals, so they always win and get away with it, they have no competitors because they can do the unthinkable, the things decent people wont do.
TOO TRUE!!!!
“If you’re good at something, never do it for free.” Still sticks with me.
that's why I'm poor ...
@@Piperitum damn😭
SAME
No choice
Joker's "...hi" to Dent still makes me laugh out loud every time
Yes I thought it was just me lol lol
@@USATheFallenheath’s Joker is funnier than most people think
When he forgets Rachel name also😂
@@laonemareka1475fr 😂
That line is so good
The moment they say he’s crazy and he says “No, I’m not” so menacingly gives me shivers.
and the little "t" at the end of not *chills*
lol @mherexgaming
Cuz he isnt
It feels like he wants to choke the guy but holds back. Maybe the only time he restrains himself in the whole movie
Oh to me it felt more like he feels a little triggered. The only moment in the movie where a remark touches the troubled human below, who wants to feel included. To label someone "crazy" is to exclude him from the norm, and I reckon the Joker feels that exclusion to this day. So he lowers his head, quiets down when he objects, and emphasizes the final "t" to rebel against his labelers.
12 years counting still the best Comicbook movie ever made.
I totally agree
best movie i have ever watched
Bes
Agreed 💯💯💯💯💯 My childhood absolutely 🖤🖤🖤
Don't says that dude, i am afraid MCU fanboys will attack you, they think endgame is the best CBM ever.
"You think you can steal from us and just walk away?" "Yeah"
No one can beat Ledger's performance as the Joker. He's set the Gold Standard for this character.
Fr. We won't get Joaquin phoenix's joker without ledger's. You know JP really tried to do Joker justice with that movie
Jack Nicholson?
Mark Hamill?
@@melissaferrante5072I got heath over Jack any day. Mark hamil might be #1 with the voice acting
Gold standard of live action
I love how his story changes every time he talks how he got his scars
Its for manipulation and to create fear in them He says it to a gangster the father thing because gangsters psychology usually come from family problems And the wife thing is because he knows Ratchel is in love
@visible to all usersYeah I remember seeing an analysis of the character in this movie and it pretty much makes sense
You mean history changes*
I still wish we could know the story he was about to tell Batman before he gets thrown off the side of the building.
Something nolan took from the comic the killing joke.
Sorry there is no BEST scene of joker. Every scene of joker is the BEST.
Every Scene In The Movie Itself Is Best. The Ending, The Beginning, The Kidnapping In Hong Kong,...
Jared Leto would like to differ
@@hotlikelava276 he would LIKE to, but he can't
yeah especially him dancing at the bathroom and the staircase
WRONG. Contrary to popular belief HL is not the best joker, I believe the only reason ppl say this is because of his death right after.
Fun story: When they were filming the hospital scene, they were just gonna have Ledger in his normal Joker outfit. But Ledger before filming walks out in an nurses outfit and the film crew immediately loved it.
also when he grabbed Rachael when he was looking for Dent, he was never supposed to grab her. Pretty much from when he asks about his scars is all improve and you can even see Rachael's actress looks over at the directors confused because he stopped following the script.
Also when the hospital explodes that made him jumped from the explosion that was real. At least that's what I heard lol
That's not true at all. In the script it says: INT. DENT'S HOSPITAL ROOM -- CONTINUOUS Polk enters the room. No Davis. Just a REDHEADED NURSE, back towards him, reading Dent's chart. POLK Ma'am, we're going to have to move him, now. (nothing) Ma'am? The Redhead TURNS- it is the Joker, silenced pistol in hand. He FIRES. The whole point of the nurse costume was to easily infiltrate the hospital. The whole police department was looking for the Joker, and that hospital had priority.
@@nate-hl9sq This one is also untrue. Yes he was looking for Dent, but he would settle for "his loved ones" and Rachel stepped in to defend another man. THE JOKER You know, you remind me of my father. (GRABS him) I hated my father. The Joker has his blade in the Gentleman's mouth. RACHEL Stop! The Joker drops the Gentleman. Turns to Rachel. THE JOKER Hello, beautiful. You must be Harvey's squeeze. (runs his knife across her cheek) And you are beautiful. You look nervous- it's the scars isn't it? Wanna know how I got them? I had a wife, beautiful like you. ... It is true that Ledger didn't stick to the script, but the general idea of what he was supposed to say and do is still there.
@@302project This one is also false. Nolan himself said this in the behind the scenes featurette. They rehearsed it several times, Heath knew. There was no second chance, this stunt was the most expensive and most intricate of them all. Every twitch, every glance, step, carefully planned for it to work. Why does it look so convincing and natural? They were that good.
I am not a superhero movie person, but i heard of Heath Ledger's performance as Joker in this movie. Not knowing anything about the comicbook character, i just saw the movie and was blown apart at the intensity of his personification of the role. Indeed one of the best performances in cinematic history. A brilliant actor gone too soon.
I'm not a superhero movie person either but you never heard of the Joker? Do you live in America? He's a pretty iconic character.
Batman IS not a super hero Just a hero
it's not a superhero movie.
I’m in the same boat as you. I only saw this movie the first time because heath had died and I thought about two weeks after it came out, I should see it before it’s out of the theaters, and heath won’t make any new movies. Nevertheless, I think I ended up seeing this movie 7 or 8 times in the theaters
who can know nothing about the Joker?
I still laugh at the hospital scene when Joker, an agent of chaos, stops briefly to use the hand sanitizer. It's the small things that made Heath's version so memorable.
I still think it’s awesome how he improvised his reaction to the explosions delay when leaving the hospital
Sanitizing since 2008
Or like when he walks into the fundraising event and drinks a glass of champagne.
truly ahead of curve
@@vicdeakins2238 thank the gods that no one yelled "cut"! They rightfully trusted Ledger to make something out of it even if the explosions didn't all go as planned. And the scene is perfect.
He really did create a character that is and will be timeless. Its as good today as the first day it came out never gets old
He didn’t create the joker , he altered it & definitely added unique qualities but he further create that character
Two Face in this movie is very underrated because he goes from the ultimate “schemer” to the exact person the Joker is and if not even more nihilistic than the Joker
Indeed!!
@@lickenhuntsman5338 Tell me you're a child without saying you're a child.
Yeah, he really it made it his own.
Heath Ledger's Joker might be one of the greatest acting performances in the history of film. What a role!
It is.
You obviously haven't watched many movies.
how does it feel to be so wrong about something lmao@@cptpepper7731
Joker I think in general is the best villain of Comics & Cinema history, someone tell me wrong cuz I know ones like Darth Vader but to me Joker is the best
@@cptpepper7731Name some that are better than Joker of a character villain in general from Cinema. Give me a list cuz Joker is a bad guy & entertaining in a complete different way from other cinema villains
5:23 - that "hi" gets me every time - the most regretful and awkward greeting ever.
The best joker by a billion miles, absolutely stunning acting, first time ever batman was number 2 in batman film.
one of the few times the main character becomes a side character in their own movie
@@dean3134 why so serious?
@@boogembay3822 i wonder why
jack nicholson also outclassed keaton in batman
@Moviepilotfan He effectively became a side character because nobody ever talks about his part in the film when discussing TDK. Ledger stole it.
Absolutely, Heath Ledger's greatest role. May he rest in peace.
The fact that Daniel Day-Lewis admires Heath Ledger should be a testimony itself to how amazing he was
He’s really great in the movie Candy as well
Enis del mar Is cool
A Knights Tale; he's great in that.

"Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little push" laughing at the end of that quote gives such chills
Even Heath's voice changed. Like really he became the Joker. So much respect for his performance.
His dedication to the role was incredible. He locked himself in a hotel room for 40 days for a masterpiece of a performance. It pains me to know we will never see anything like this again.
"Madness is like gravity. Sometimes all it takes is a good push" - favorite quote

That is actually what everybody says.
@@nickybobby8753 he did not die because of it, he had insomnia and was taking pills long before the dark knight. it was just an unfortunate tragedy.
@@nickybobby8753 im not telling myself that, its literally a fact. watch like any interview with his family or friends and none of them say that the acting caused him to take pills.
Never ever in a history of cinema, a supporting actor hijacked the movie with his timeless and powerful acting. RIP Ledger. Gone too soon
There’s Silence of the Lambs, but this is right up there with it !
The fact he is only in the movie for a total of 33 minutes makes his performance even more remarkable..
*43 minutes
What's remarkable is dorks like you keep this Hannibal Lector statistic afloat.
*43 minutes, 28 seconds
Still quite a lot of time
It's a lot of time, what are you talking about?
Best scenes should be every time he appears on screen
“sussy balls”
DONDA was the worst
Logo Hype L
I was about to say the same
Batman took the backseat on this one
Every scene the joker was in was the best scene. You were on edge every time and the single rising musical note just added to the tension no actor could better Heath Ledger's performance
Desperate isn’t the word gutter rat x
Yeah I mean everytime Joker says something, it gets scary. Why so serious, I believe whatever doesn't kill u simply makes you...stranger, do you wanna know how I got these scars? DUDE, HL IS THE MOST SCARIEST JOKER ON EARTH
@@sarahbannister7824 huh
I mean, in his first scene - THE FIRST SCENE OF THE MOVIE - he demonstrates just how terrifying he is, because he clearly doesn't care about anything. Any one of those other guys could have decided to kill him before he killed them, the bank manager could have got a lucky shot, his whole plan could have ended before it began. Is he tense? Worried? Focused, even? No, none of those things, he's just going with the flow of events. He greets the world with a mockingly fake cheerfulness, while underneath he's utterly nihilistic. It's not just that the lives of others mean nothing to him, his own life means nothing. He has zero regard for whether he lives, dies, succeeds, or fails, which allows him to go all-in with no fear. This is why his gambit with Dent paid off, he didn't care if Dent blew his brains out, so he made things "fair" and convinced Dent to take on an entirely new view of the world. He doesn't even care if the two ferries rise above their fear of each other, he'll just blow them up anyway. He could do anything, at any time, to anyone. Nothing is sacred, nothing is safe. He does, indeed, just want to watch the world burn, and then he wants to climb onto the fire.
He sucked as joker. Just because he died doesn’t make his joker good
I’m still amazed in how it was possible to create an evil clown, talking as a clown, and acting as a clown but never looking ridiculous, overacted, noisy or stupid but clever, menacing, scary and also charismatic. What a performance
This Joker is a straight up horror villain, so unnerving.
I watched more than 100 times.. And still feel amazing
The fact that he killed himself is even more iconic even though it was an accident
TDK trilogy are for kids The Batman and Moon knight are for adults
Agreed.
Lmao
100 times watching is just a lazy mdfk unrealistic stats
His performance is absolutely hypnotic...it's timeless...
Facts. I can listen to Heath Ledger's talk and act all day as it's so intriguing and intoxicating. 😍💯👍😎😏😩
because he played the real joker in real life even in our generation it cann apply
Much respect to Heath. he was phenomenal in this role. Truly a timeless classic performance.
I never realized how good he was until he was gone. He absolutely nails in Lords of Dogtown as well.
When you doing the role so good that nobody can ever do it again. May you legacy never be forgotten.
Sincerely 🙏🏻

Still love the "magic trick". Makes me giggle ever time
Yeah. ERASER end first.
Ta-da! It's... Gone.
it was filmed brilliantly, would never suspect it was a composite shot and Heath took a shot to the hand to cover the guys face when he 'slammed' it against the table. if you look close as the guy falls back you can see his hand move quickly from the face.
Even the way he enters the room like “hee hoo ha hee ha”
Me too, one of the best scenes!!!
His tone, cadence, and the licking of the lip’s constantly really did it for me. Really incredible how he created a Joker even creepier then its written
I agree entirely his execution of this role is mesmerizing.
The lip licking was done to keep the prosthetics on the sides of his mouths from falling off, he had to keep them wet and moist, but he also implemented it as a mannerism of the character.
@@dmitryogrady2004It honestly really works in his favor. It draws attention to his mutilated mouth, and it comes across as deranged and off his rocker. A little bit of ingenuity in the face of adversity ended up selling us on the character (along with the stellar performance as a whole).
"all it takes is a little push."
I always love the interrogation scene “Never start with the head the victim gets all fuzzy and can’t feel”
"See?"
Same
I've seen a few posts saying before he was joker he was a soldier of some kind knows his way around all types of weapons from small arms to anti aircraft weapons
Heath Ledger took the joker role to next level where I don't think anyone can out perform him. The best villain ever 🃏
Heath’s Joker is 200% pure psychopath

Actually he just played the joker exactly true to character, this is the most believable version of joker which is why he is unmatched to this day
The soft childish voice was one of the best aspects of this performance. You can see why the director gave virtually full head on for all his scenes. They knew they had something.
He's the best joker
😂😂The way he just chewed in 01:57 makes him my favourite character.
The part where he was the nurse and sits down and says “Hi” was so iconic. That part was brilliantly done. Such a great movie. The joker was my favorite.

It's hard to believe that this is the same guy who played Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain
2:11
7:49 I have always loved this extremely subtle moment where Batman actually leans back ever so slightly and tilts his head, because he is genuinely listening to what Joker is saying and might be realising that he actually has a point.

Never caught that. Wow.
Heath is one of the very few actors that can give me goosebumps from a performance..He was brilliant. I wish he were still around
3:00 I feel like she was genuinely uncomfortable in this moment. His acting was so good and authentic that she looks like she thinks it's even real.
Believe it or not in the actual set she was scared
When he grabbed her she didn’t know he was going to do that so she starts looking over at the director. So yeah in short she’s very uncomfortable
I actually was thinking to myself for the first time ever(watched at least 100 times, no lie) but how scared I would actually be
Absolute tragedy losing Heath, good old Aussie boy. Imagine the wonderful years we have lost of seeing his skills in film acting. The very best and ultimate portrayal of the Joker. RIP.

It breaks my heart just thinking about the fact that we will never see something like this again. This is literally a performance for the ages. RIP Heath!
One of the most remarkable things is that Ledger didn't HAVE to be this good. At all. The box office draw was already there, it had stars in the cast, Nolan already had a following, it was going to look and sound amazing no matter what. Then Ledger busts out as a fully-formed icon, one of the best in movie history. And, thankfully, we'll always be able to return to it.
I think really talented actors like Ledger enjoy what they do and try to make it their own. Imagine being a young actor and getting the opportunity to play the Joker.... it seems like a lot of fun.
@@timbrown1834 true, but not everyone has the talent or inspiration to make something iconic. I feel like most actors, especially in big blockbusters, are pretty much just good enough. Greatness is understandably not the norm.
@@timbrown1834 "It seems like a lot of fun".... It's ambiguous but it seems obvious it took a lot out of him psychologically....not saying it's suicide but it clearly affected him deeply in a negative way
I've read so many comments here and all agree that this performance was beyond great. It's probably one of the best acting performances I've ever seen in a movie. Off the top of my head right now I can't think of a better performance in any movie, in any role.
Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump
@@magmaticgamesno, Tom Hanks doesn't work for me. It's easy to notice who is mentally ill and who is normal, so his performance is kinda mediocre.
@@mayaspare5772 Mentally ill isn't the same as being mentally handicapped.
I love the parts where he gives the origins of those scars, masterclass in acting.
2:16 Wise words indeed
Fun fact: The scene at 2:30 was genuine; it was Maggie Gyllenhaal’s first time seeing Heath’s makeup and she was terrified but she kept going through it and Heath acted thusly. Hence why you can see that she had her eyes closed for part of the “do you want to know how I got these scars” speech.
little movie mistake? he has a blood(?) spot above his upper lip that you see at 3:49 for a moment that you don't see before or after.
Maggie: It's just a movie, he's just an actor. We're acting. This is a movie! O FUCK BUT HE'S SCARY.
Method acting.
Also, the Joker touching her face was improvised.
a maggie se le nota en sus gestos, mezcla de asco, miedo e improvisacion. el mejor Joker forever. Heath Ledger..
8:13 “See I’m not a monster.” 😈 Heath’s expression & tone at this part is very reminiscent of Jack Nicholson’s Joker. Anyone else get that impression? It’s so good.
What I love about this Joker is that while he is just as menacing as everyone says, he's also one of the most important things the Joker needs to be, _funny_ The bit where he walks into Harvey's room wearing a nurse outfit and says "Hiiii..." so awkwardly is honestly hilarious
0:18 Heath Ledger genuinely flinched at that explosion.
Perhaps the only movie where villian was loved more than the hero.
Remember who played Batman…
You forgot Darth Vader
Freddy Krüger, Darth Vader/Maul, Hannibal Lecter, the Predator, Hans Gruber, the T-1000, Hans Landa, John Doe, Castor Troy, Loki, Maleficient, Roy Batty, Jack Sparrow and of course Megamind. Also every villain ever played by Charles Dance. There are plenty more of course, especially when you look for movies where the hero is especially bland. For example, do you remember the name Schwarzenegger's character in Running Man? Neither do I but I clearly remember his opponents Dynmo, Buzzsaw and Subzero. And that applies to many stars like Stallone, Willis and so on: They made so many movies and their characters are basically all the same generic buff guys that are good at fighting and that's it.
4:08 I love the way he says "Evening.. commissoneerrr.." lol
The way joker says hi to two face while dressed as a nurse 🤣🤣
Every scene with him is amazing
When he says "I'm a dog chasing cars, I wouldn't know what to do with one if a cut it" is my personal favorite best movie moment of all time, the way he gets excited imagening being the dog.

He is and will always be the greatest Joker.
It's a damn crying shame we didn't get a third Batman movie in this series with Heath as Joker.
🥲
It certainly is. He did a phenomenal job. He said he based his Joker on the ramblings of Tom Waits.
Don’t need another movie. It’s already perfect. Anymore would be excess
@@JaeJunBrianLee I think most would have liked to see Nolan continue the batman franchise. The one that came out last year was terrible.

This movie…the acting, the music, the writing, the philosophy behind it. It is just perfect
He was the joker. He was such a fantastic actor, his death was truly tragic.
This was the best performance in cinematic history ever. Even an Oscar wasn't enough for this performance.
I don't know about ever, but he undoubtedly played the best villain in any superhero movie (Marvel and DC). However, you have other cases like Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector and Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump that are certainly up there. I also think Anthony Starr is close to Heath's level when he plays Homelander in the Boys
Christopher reeves as Superman/Kent

Taken before his time this man absolutely made this film. I've forgotten how many times I've watched Dark Knight just for his performance.

I love how he says it in a shy, awkward way, like he just found out the guy he flipped off in traffic is his new boss. It just showcases how little he cares about anything and how funny he finds it that no one else is as empty as him.
when he says '' you.. you complete me! '', man I love that line. You can clearly feel his passion , even tho he's a psycho.
trailer HBO enlisted cops security mobsters red car we watching You 0:12 oh I forgot BOOM not anymore nevermore Looks Like you guys need a Trauma Center ah but Protocol we Can Only Go To Closest Minor "Emergency" Clinic , oh again forgot BOOM we'll just Pray over ya , what religion ya'All Are ? we All Pray Prey just To Make It today omg ( M.C.

Madness is like Gravity, all it takes is a little push
Absolute legend and best Joker ever played!
"Depending on the time, he may be on one spot or in several" remains to be one of the coldest lines ever in DC cinematic universe
Also “So, I guess you could say I knew your friends better than you ever did….wanna know which of them were cowards?”
"These civilized people will kill each other " hits hard but it's true 😢💔
That hospital explosion scene was the real thing.
This performance is so good when I first saw it I kept asking myself is that was really Heath? The same guy in 10 things I Hate About You? Truly memorable.
“You’re crazy” “No, no I’m not” As if he didn’t just John wick a guy with a pencil while wearing a suicide bomb vest and a purple suit.
john wick was inspired by jokers pencil trick
“He killed a guy with a pencil, a fooking pencil! Who does that?” Lmfao
No.....T...was badass
I ALWAYS loved the little eye twitch he does as he says that
And he seemed a little offended at being called crazy🤣
2:25 when Gambol says "you're crazy", it's the only time during the movie where you can see Joker is genuinely upset. He truly believes that being an agent of chaos is the only way to live, and is downright offended at someone insulting him about his state of mind. Aside from the bounty Gambol placed, this is the reason why Joker "kills" him personally later on. It's subtle, but I really wish that they explored on this more.
They explored this on his movie “Joker” IMO - I see that movie as a ride-along in his mind
To date STILL one of the best performances of all time
"See madness as you know is like gravity, all it takes is a little push" An Epic dialogue delivery by heath Ledger sir
3:50 My inner dialogue whenever I try to talk to a woman...
ARGUABLY the greatest performance in cinema history. Rip Heath
You obviously haven't seen many movies.
@@cptpepper7731idk man, ive seen alot of classics and alot of new movies, this is one of the best performance ive ever seen, its hard to even think of another performance on the same level.
@@lilbigplanet4170 In comic book movies, you're probably right - this is the best performance in that genre.
@@cptpepper7731then tell who you think has performed the best
@@NoName-ds8yz That's kind of like asking who's the better athlete Michael Jordan or Ali? Different acting techniques are involved in playing a deranged villain (the specialty of certain actors like Gary Oldman) or nuanced performances of, say, Daniel Day-Lewis. Proposing that Ledger's performance is (even arguably) better than Brando's in Godfather or Day-Lewis's in There Will Be Blood, or Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs is one of those silly exaggerations that people like to post in the comment section. The reason why we like Ledger so much is because his performance was so much better than all the other performances in the movie - it's as if every time he's on the screen it's a different movie. Not that Bale and Oldman are bad actors - it's just that they didn't have much to work with, while Ledger was given a carte blanche to do with the role whatever he wanted. Plus, people are more likely to appreciate over-the-top performances (which work well in the comic book genre, so that's not a criticism) than those that require more nuance.
I was in the theater (like many) to watch this, and every bit of the accent of ledgers speech was just jaw dropping and you felt like the air left your body. RIP.
and he was Australian!
1:27 iconic line
“Why so serious?” gives me chills before. Now, it was the best iconic quote for The Dark Knight, especially his scars. Heath Ledger: The Best Joker
How about a magic trick? Iconic
@@tonyabbett1639 Absolutely #1 scene....
It is one of the best movies of all time which is popular because of it's villain
Me to my friend at the lunch table when he tells my crush I like her 6:36
"The little fight in you, I like that"😆 The Best joker of the century! Hands down!
It's "A little fight in you"
