Joker is a super-meticulous planner who is also extremely good at improvising. He will say or do whatever is necessary to break people down or to manipulate the assumptions/beliefs of others. That line was specifically aimed at breaking Harvey. It also can't be taken as a lie because he never claimed not to have a plan - he asked the question knowing what Harvey would assume. (And honestly, he doesn't *look* like a guy with a plan... :D )

The writing, the drama, the score, the cinematography; it's all really good.

"I'm happy to be alive to witness this" Hahaha I think this is the best compliment you can give a movie EVER. Yes this is one of the absolute best

The Killing Joke served as one of the direct inspirations for this movie. The interrogation room scene is very much like the scene in the comic. The fact that Joker keeps telling different stories about the origins of his facial scars is also a nod, as he says in the comic, "If I had an origin story, I would prefer it to be multiple choice." And this Joker wants to get people to abandon their rules and morals in order to prove that everyone can be compromised and embrace anarchy like him, much the way The Killing Joke's Joker wanted to prove that "one bad day" is all that it takes for a person to become just like him.

Something I love about the hospital scene between the Joker and Dent is that, if you look, 40:13 the Joker’s finger is on the hammer of the gun, which means it wouldn’t fire even if the trigger is pulled.

Oh, second comment, this movie was not a superhero movie surrounding a superhero. It was a character driven movie with a super hero in it. Marvelous movie.

What's so interesting is that this movie basically IS the Joker's backstory. He had the craziest arc in this movie. He went from committing crimes out of misanthropy and fun, wanting to kill and unmask Batman at the start to break the people's hope, to being filled with hope HIMSELF by Batman... and how he saw himself as Batman's antithesis. Batman gives the Joker a sense of purpose, a force of evil destined to be stopped by Batman over and over, to see who could ultimately demonstrate what comes out on top; hope, or chaos. He went from being a wild dog with no goal, to a man addicted to this cycle he's created.

I felt like this film series really captured what the characters would be in reality. These films are iconic! The scene where Harvey comments that Alfred has know Rachael all her life and Alfred replied, "Well, not yet, Sir!" Was such great foreshadowing. Cool reaction!❤

I think Joker's infatuation with Batman is this: Joker believes that all people are corruptible - all you have to do is find the right trigger. That belief is his justification for what he does. Batman as the symbol that cannot be corrupted is the psychological scar he can't deal with... If Batman is truly incorruptible then all the horrible things Joker did can't be justifiable because those people could have been innocent. If he can corrupt Batman then it is proof he is right. He can't let Batman die before he is corrupted because then he'll never be able to prove his own justification. And the more atrocities Joker commits on the path, the more it is impossible to let go of trying to corrupt Batman because the more he does the more he'd have to face his own sins if he was wrong all along.

Mirandalorian saying she's ready for this at the beginning. Oh oh he he ha ha, here we go?

I think the point of the Joker is that he's sort of a Schrodinger's Cat, you don't know what he's truly thinking about, maybe he just does whatever comes to mind, or maybe he's this super mastermind planner. He's either Chaos disguised as Order, or Order disguised as Chaos, but no matter what he truly is, the end result of either is still... Chaos. Edit: in my opinion he is both, maybe he makes these long term goals that he plans to eventually achieve, but he does so with no real steps, he just goes along only sort of loosely knowing where the road will take him.

The Joker changes his story to the psychology of the people he is telling it to. There is a fan theory that this version of the Joker was former special forces/counter-terrorism and after a horrific occurrence is now using his skills to be a criminal.

That twist were Batman unintentionally picks up Harvey instead of Rachel had to floor just about everyone.

arguably one of the greatest films of all time

Its my belief that its the greatest film of the 21st century. Followed closely by "Mad Max: Fury Road".

Best comic book movie ever by far

9:12 it’s interesting that you say that cause in Justice League Unlimited (the animated series from the early 2000ths) Green Arrow says to Batman in a different language: “quis custodiet ipsos custodes.” to which Batman responds in understanding; “who guards the guardians?” You could say that Lucius and Alfred guard Bruce, who guards the city. Ps YES! Do a reaction to the animated series!

The Joker's journey in this film is incredible, from wanting to kill the Batman to realizing he is, as you pointed out, the other side to the same coin, and the ultimate target for his chaos, the one he wants to flip the most, and that he, himself, is nothing without Batman. As you discuss at the end, it is a really interesting philosophical question, of whether the Batman is needed because of the villains in the city, or do the villains show up because of the Batman. Fantastic reaction!

So at the moment in the party scene (19:50) when the Joker enters, Michael Caine was supposed to have a line to deliver. But he was so taken aback by Heath Ledger's performance that he completely forgot the line.

And Maggie G’s terrified expression was real. That was the first time she saw Heath in the Joker makeup.

You MISSED how Harvey showed his two headed coin to Rachel. At the back of the SWAT van.

And the moment with the coin when Harvey realizes that Rachel is dead. Too much talking 😒

the two headed coin is a nod to another pivotal story (Eye of the beholder) and it has a huge meaning for Harvey.

I enjoyed your reaction so much that I had to watch it again! 😊

I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

You spent 3/4 of this reaction with your mouth just hanging open at how incredible it is. And it is exactly that. Super fun reaction. Now, you need to see Joker with Joaquin Phoenix. That one is DARK. Can't wait to see you react to that one. Keep 'em coming! \m/

4:56 You're right, that's Nestor Carbonell from LOST, cool that you're a fan too! Fun bit of trivia - he also appeared in the live-action comic book series The Tick, where he played a Latino superhero called... Batmanuel 🤣

Loved the Tick! Nestor was very funny. As well as the Tick himself

Heath Ledger kept a notebook during his time as The Joker. I would be as happy as I would scared to read that journal.

this is my one of my favorite movies ever . going to watch this in middle school in the movie theaters with my mom and dad will always be a special memory to me

Great reaction video Miranda! I absolutely love this movie! It's brilliant from beginning to end and Heath Ledger's performance is amazing. I saw The Dark Knight on opening night with my two best friends and it's one of the best movies I've ever had the privilege of experiencing.

8:05 Aaron Eckhart does not get the flowers he deserves for his portrayal of Harvey Dent in this movie.

In case others haven't said and it wasn't obvious. The joker purposefully mixed up the two addresses for the bomb/rescue traps. That way the choice wasn't in batman's control. This way it would hurt him the most.

Great video! Glad we got to witness your first viewing of this masterpiece!

I still remember seeing this in theaters back in '08. Easily one of the best cinematic experiences of my life

The Dark Knight is cinematic perfection!!!

Brilliance. Perhaps not the best movie of all time, but the best 'superhero' or comic book movie of al time to be sure, in my book. I still cry every time I watch Heath Ledger; he's so good. An Oscar winner for sure.

Just came across this channel, the facial expressions are next level, love it! Lol! Great personality and cute smile equals a new subscriber, the suit is just a bonus 😂❤

When Heath steps out of the elevator it was the first time Michael Caine ever saw Heath in his Joker makeup so his shocked reaction to him was genuine.

Harvey's turn to Two-Face in this movie is closer to how he became that villain in the animated series. Fittingly, that episode is a two-parter. "You gotta lose hope, to find it again." Nice! Great reaction.

I never noticed it until I watched your reaction. The writer gave Alfred a cheeky line to hint at Rachel's fate. When he's speaking with Harvey and it's brought up that Alfred has known Rachel her whole life, he replies "not yet, sir".
