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.

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.

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.

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.

He was the joker. He was such a fantastic actor, his death was truly tragic.

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

One of the all time great acting performances.

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

when he says '' you.. you complete me! '', man I love that line. You can clearly feel his passion , even tho he's a psycho.

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.

Maggie Gyllenhaal was truly scared in this scene with Heath Ledger. It was the first time Maggie saw Ledger with the Makeup and she did not know he was going to grab her face.

This performance will never be outdone

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.
