  • heath would have gotten that oscar even if he hadnt died. people piss me off when they say the only reason he got it is because he died. he was absolutely brilliant as the joker!(and thats an understatement)

  • It would've been so awesome to see Christian Bale and Heath Ledger battle it out in a sequel.

  • Nolan is right.. the Joker is so outside of the real Heath and they are complete opposites, but he thoroughly got inside the mind of the Joker and was so convincing so it was frightening to see someone like Heath play such a monster. Truly an amazing performance

  • Please ignore this fuckd troll. He does this on many videos. Don't give him the attention he craves.

  • Best comic/ film ive ever seen can watch this over and over again wicked film, Inception should be up there with the greats too incredible!!!

  • i've seen this movie abouuut..nine times now and after, i'm left with a huge rush of affection and amazement for heath's outstanding performance.

    loved him in brokeback mountain too.

    xo

  • Legendary Performance.

    If God hadn't taken Heath so early he'd be living it up right now more than ever.

    RIP Heath Andrew Ledger, this role turned you from great actor to complete legend.

  • @AndrewGee69 Best.(fucking)Comment.Ever.

    (And this time I mean it 100%)

  • Ledger's Joker, one of the top 3 performances in the history of motion picture, with Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter (#2 or #3 depending on my mood) and De Niro's Jake La Motta (#1) being the other two.

  • The accent is a little different, posture is brillandt. Only one really wrong thing and its not Ledger's fault. Joker's entire body was white not just his face, they missed that. Ledger is fantastic though.

  • They missed it on purpose. Nolan thought the idea of Joker having all-white skin from a chemical bath was ridiculous so changed it to him simply wearing makeup to fit the more "realistic" approach that he was going for. It's a liberty that I might have been okay with were it not for the scars which I still feel to be unnecessary. Thankfully, Ledger's performance makes it all work when you watch the film.

  • Well Nolan is wrong. I believe that you need to stick to the truth of the story as much as possible. To me, it just looked horrible to have plain hands with a white face.

  • Not really. It just makes The Joker more mysterious and different...

  • There is no true origin story to the Joker. The chemical bath is just one of the stories used to describe the Joker's past.

    And quite frankly, that origin was flimsy, especially when shown in a real life setting. No offense, but Jack Nicholson's hands emerging from a toxic bath to look like an albino with a goth fetish seems too cartoonish.

  • 4real

  • listen guys this role didnt kill him ok? heath shares the same fate with Elvis you know what killed them???? their wifes but ya know thats the way love goes babe

  • jackass. heath wasn't married! the thing that probably killed him was the pain of not being able to see his daughter matilda. he had just broken up with his girlfriend Michelle so..

  • no it isn't the same difference jackass! Just because he had a kid with Michelle doesn't mean they are married. You're lucky I dont live near you I'd beat your ass fool =P

  • heath's performance blew me away when i saw this movie

    easily arguable as the greatest performance as the joker ever

    badass, psychotic, and somehow got the swagger also

    love his performance

    i hope he's a favorite for the oscar

  • kill the batman!!

  • Wow. Such hate? Good god. You are a scumbag.

  • You piece of garbage. You deserve to die. I see you are a homo. I hope you get aids you butt loving freak.

    You have no idea what quality is. You like dicks.

    Go blow someone and stay off these boards. You had nothing but trash

  • fuck you ass hole i hope u die

    ulglyass bitch

  • you gay mother fucker, you have your head stuck up your ass you fuck face, go to fucking gay land, you piece of homo-shit, heath was legendary in this film, homosexuality4life= a motherfucking shit fuck.

  • Fuck you.

    Dude, seriously.

    You are a fucking loser.

    How can you say anyone deserves to die?

    You are gay.

    Seriously, go fuck yourself.

  • Bitch u deserve to die u fuckin dick licker, go lick a cunt

    Heath was a good actor like ur mom a pornstar

  • Legendary performance. And fantastic movie. I think we'll never see another Joker like this: Scary and cool at the same time.

  • fuckin asshole,

    heath was very good actor, but a lot of people see this after his death.

  • Heath's performance was legendary and undeniably the best Joker performance ever, but if anyone were to reprise it could be Edward Norton(no disrespect intended to Heath).

  • i could see edward norton probably being able to pull it off but idk if he could do as good as heath did

  • This movie was THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. Heath Ledger did a remarkable job, no will ever top his performance. In my mind he is the BEST actor this world has ever seen. period

  • damn you heath why did you got to die? we all miss you so much.

  • Ledger deserves the oscar

    He portrayed the chaos and instability that the joker wanted so, so well

  • Heath is soo gifted that this film showed the best performance that he's ever shown in his whole career. heath is the joker, and no one will ever be as good as him playing that role. he will win the oscar nomination no matter what! and if he doesn't win, i will cry man! R.I.P ledger.

  • i've seen the movie 9 times already and everytime I realize something great about his performance that I didn't see the time before. This movie has taken my number one spot on my top favorite movies. And lets not forget Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart's performances they did beter than great. Props to whoever casted this movie.

  • Heath Was the best joker than any other

    I wish he was here to get that oscar

    <3

  • we could bury it by him!LOL!

    But no im serous

  • Guys, the dark knight isnt heaths last performance. He was in the middle of shooting a movie called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, wen he died, so theyre like dedicating the movie to him, nd the other half of the movie ther having johhny depp, collin farell and jude law play different incarnations of him, cuz i guess its a magical movie or something like tht. but im just excited tht this isnt the last we'll see of Heath Ledger :D

  • woo!

    i found that out also, and got excited to see more heath!

    RIP HEATH

  • i love the part with the disapearing pencil!!!! i miss heath! if he doesn't get that oscar im gonna be so pissed!

  • RIP Heath Baby Heaven Truly Was Missing An Angel

  • I Cannot Wait 2 See This Number 1 Movie On IMDb's Top 250

  • HE WAS SO GOOD!!! hes what made the movie so so so amazsome!!! i wish he could make a nother one!!! such a good actore!!! ;_; you'll be missed heath!

  • Heath was better than great

    <3 R.I.P

  • They gotta give him an Oscar... even if he still lived, it was an Outstanding performance.

  • Heath did a fantastic hard working job. I didn't think that was heath. Joker did not look or sound like heath, which was very impressive.

  • without Heath Ledger in this movie....the movie would be all shit!

  • I agree.

  • thanks everyone for voicing your opinions. For those around the world who havent seen the dark knight, heath was incredible in this film!! gonna see it again for the 5th time later tonight. take care friends!!

  • Such a fantastic performance. Flawless.

  • His performances in all his films were outstanding and surely must at least get an oscar nomination for his portrayal of The Joker if not win it. His performance of The Joker was one of the best performances i've ever seen of any character and it's depressing that we'll never be able to see him reprise that role...

    R.I.P. Heath Ledger - You'll always be missed

  • heath is the best

  • Heath Ledger simply STOLE the show.

    R.I.P

  • I agree with most of the sentiments already stated. You do forget that there is an actor behind the Joker, it is so well done by Heath that you are almost afraid, you get to a point where you are so invested in what is going on in the movie, that your mind tells you this is happening. That was his gift to the world, being at the top of his art form, and it is such a tragedy that he never had the chance to know what he did was, to say the least, inspiring....RIP Heath, you are so missed!!

  • You said that so well. And it's why I think Heath's performance is superior to Jack's. Jack's portrayal was incredible, too. But I think that Ledger's Joker was better for just the reason's you said.

  • Thanks, I could probably say so much more about him, but I'd sound too mushy!! :)

  • Agreed...Jack Nicholson's was your father's Joker...Heath Ledger, on the other hand, is one for the ages & more frightening; a nihilist who wants to watch the world burn. Oh, I'd like to also add Ledger is wicked sexy!

  • This is a fantastic movie and Heath Ledger made it.

    His performance was absolutely stunning, the best I've ever seen him do.

    Amazing.

    RIP.

  • man...Heath did such an awesome job playing the Joker. and now hes dead...he wasnt even able to see how successful his last movie was. he deserved that much at least. RIP Heath! :'(

    im gonna be The Joker in honor of him for halloween. anybody with me?

  • @dallasstreets its NOT his last movie

  • The thing about Ledger's performance you actually forget it's ledger on screen and really begin to believe that this Joker is a real persona so to speak you forget he's an actor. Like Nicholson's Joker he did a good job but you still knew it was Nicholson, but with Ledger you forget it's him. That's why his performance is iconic, that's why he derserve the oscar. It's a performace that will not ever be matched.

  • Ledger was so brilliant that my friend said he didn't realize Ledger was even in the film until later...I hope the Academy doesn't screw Heath over the way they did for Brokeback Mountain. Ledger has created a character for the time capsule & should receive the Best Actor (not supporting) Oscar.

  • i didn't know that he was the joker cuz u could hardly tell its him... and then my friend told me he was the joker so i went to see it with her yesterday HE WAS A REALLY GOOD JOKER!!!!!

  • that's why i think he was better than jack. when i saw the trailer for dark knight, i didn't even RECOGNIZE heath. and in the movie, i completely LITERALLY forgot it was him. to me, during the movie, he WAS the Joker. And with Jack's performance, it was great, it really was. but i could still recognize him. he was never COMPLETELY the joker to me. just a guy playing him very VERY well. Heath became the joker, and that's why i like him the best.

  • ino i didn't even know that was heath ledger as the joker cuz it doesn't sound like him or look like him... the movie was amazing

  • yea, you are right. thats why he was so magnificent. wouldnt even known it was Heath. I thought it was the Joker himself. Jack did a good job, but we all have to respect Heath's incredible performance.

  • @sweeneytoddluvr07 idiot actors change their voices all the time

  • amen to that.

  • exactly.

  • the beeeesssst joker!!after you saw this movie the joker will be your favorite bad guy!!!

  • the movie was sooo freakin awesome!

    and i think heath made it even more awesome

  • I luv this movie sooooo-fuckin'-damn much, it's so awesome, best scene is the nurse scene XD

  • lol, yeah, and the pencil scene.

  • Johnny Dep has been in talks with christopher nolan (director) in regards to the next batman, who could he play, who knows, probably any character thats put in front of him, but if they plan to use the joker again Depp is the closest ther gona get to Heaths Portryal

  • it's so commendable when another great great actor like bale say's heath was impeccable. we really need more of the bale's, the ledger's, the hopkins's the day lewis's, less of this shit that is 90% of movies these days.

  • My vote for the next joker is someone acting the part, and having Mark Hamil (Luke Skywalker) do the Joker's voice.

    From all the Jokers I think Mark has the best voice for it. Hell if he can still act ont he big screen let him be the next joker :)

  • R.I.P Heath

  • in some way heath reminds me of brandon lee, i mean they both died interpreting dark characters. and both interpreted them in a fantastic way.

  • i was completely blown away by his performance. Its not that him being dead is making me say this, but it was honestly his best performance, i couldn't get enough of the joker. Sad that Heath has been robbed of the highlight of his career that this film undoubtly would have lauched him to.

  • i know me too! like people say yeah he is good, but it really really should go down in movie history, like hannibal lecter, scarface - al pacino, nicholson's joker. fucking incredible. you could just tell heath took it so seriously on his first proper scene with the mob bosses.

  • people should stop criticizing him and his movies i mean acting is tough and it came easy to him and it showed becasue he put so much dedication into his roles and he is truly talented i mean what other actors were as good as him orlando bloom i dont think .

  • Heath lived a lot of lives in a short amount of time. its just hard to even think that he is only going to be in one more movie never anything its just really hard and even though i didnt knowhim i really feel like i knew him and heis such an inspiration to me to pursue my dreams and to live life as it comes at you

  • Bigkong20 can shutup. OK, I've seen him completly ruin Dark Knight vids with his obssesive use of language. I don't hate him personally but, I just think he should keep his opinions to HIMSELF. By the way love the vid.

  • Brilliant actor. Give him the oscar.

  • Too bad he died.He was the best joker ive seen.

  • man heath ledger the joker acting is brilliant. the best joker!

  • you are f*cking crazy. you are the only one to think that way.

  • Wouldn't it be interesting if it was all a ruse for hype about the movie and Heath is still alive and the bring him back in the next movie shocking everyone >_> Sorry not thinking logical, But seriously, he portrayed the Joker very well, the new Two Face looks like a pussy, they need to bring Jim Carrey in for the next one for sure :D

  • jim carrey as the joker, LOL

    if they have a new joker, i'm sure they'd be fine

    but NEVER as fantastic as heath's performance

    heath IS the joker.. he's brilliance :]

  • I think you mean riddler.

  • holy batcrackers christian bale is an aussie

  • i agree with drummrath....i dont think they should re-cast the joker because no one can top heath ledgers performance as the joker. he was just phenomenal

  • i don't think they should re cast the joker for the next movie, it wouldn't be good. I think they should make the next one about the riddler with maybe a cameo appereance by jim carrey. or maybe mr. freeze with a cameo by arnold. idk.

  • That would be totally gay. They should keep it fresh, because with that attitude, you would have probably wanted nicholson as joker.

  • no. jacks to old. which is why i didn't want tommy lee jones to be two face. i don't want arnold to be mr. freeze, of jim to be the riddler which is why i said CAMEO.

  • heath was so sexy in this movie!

  • how r dey goin 2 make another movie? heath ledger died he didnt even see the premire of this movie.

  • they screwed over wit 2face. the other side of his face should of had discolored skin and hair. not look like the terminator

  • Totally agree i think they went a bit over the top. But the Joker performance was superb

  • Belive me: there will be another batman movie, all the greedy motion picture executives can't resist making another 300 million

  • Heaths performance was very good in this movie

  • Bale give his mama and sis a good hiding because they got out of line!, they probably asked him to pay the dinner bill

  • HL died for this movie it was worth it. He will forever be known as a legend

  • nothing is worth heath's life. i miss him so much.

  • its good that Heath's last performance, was one of the most creepy,loved, and breath taking. I think he proved everybody, that he is the most talented actor.

  • @shycbk its not his last

  • my god, heath was breathtaking in this film. by far my favorite role for him. He'll get an oscar for it. rip heath.

  • @amandamcahren oscars dont take comic book movies seriously but he won

  • they shouldnt have killed the 2 faced man it was set up for another batman movie

  • I dont think hes dead, they will think he is dead till he comes back

  • Did the character actually have a razor blade in his mouth? I can't decide.

  • Lmao i don't know he kept changing the story

  • No one can recreate what he did.I say for the next movie they should do the Riddler,use Johnny Depp.

  • i think they should bring back jim carrey for the riddler (if they make another movie for him)

  • i dont think they should, i loved him when he played that role, but while they are using all new actors they should keep it that way...just a thought tho...

  • Those older Batman bmovies are too quirky for what they are trying to do with this series; that and this is the 2nd part of a trilogy. They shouldn't do the riddler, in my opinion; he would have to be crazy and noone can outperform Heath's role.

  • that's what they said about Jack NIcholson, that no one could outperform his performance as Joker, well Heath did it, so of course there can be another person that comes along that can even outdo Heath, and then everyone will start forgetting about Heath and welcome the new person in open arms, just like they did with Jack and Heath.

  • yep, that's right!

  • no they wont

  • You know what, I never thought of it that way... and you're absolutely right.

  • we miss you Heath.

    you were amazing and you will live on in our hearts.

    R.I.P

  • stfu

  • I have to disagree completely. No one will ever be able to do this performance again. I love Johnny Depp. But your not this good until you go crazy from the character and kill yourself. I honestly doubt they will do another movie with the joker at least.

  • Heath was great in this role. But if another movie is to be made with The Joker, it could be Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise, I think any of them would do just as well.

  • Not Tom Cruise!

  • I was so amazed when I found out that was really Heath! I sat through the whole movie thinking I recognized the Joker some how, but I couldn't put my finger on why he seemed so familiar. It's amazing how Heath made the character of the Joker come alive. He defiantly deserves an Oscar for this role. It's so sad that he wouldn't be able to receive it in person though. He really does deserve it. I always thought he's a good actor...but this..this was amazing acting.

  • JESUS WHY HEATH DIES!!! R.I.P.

  • R.I.P. Heath you pwn.

  • I believe alot of people want to see this film because of Heath Ledger's Joker performance!!! Well,the Joker anyway...It seems really good!!!

  • The best performance by any actor, ever. I stand by that. See the movie and maybe you will agree with me.

  • But I do agree with you!!! Everyone says this! I will see the movie and see for myself of course!!!

  • I totally agree with you, I'm very sad about Joker's death

  • I agree with you 100% & more. He was absolutely amazing.

  • yea.. thats really true

  • Hey everyone they should get Daniel Day Lewis to play Deadshot in the next movie instead of the recent rumors of doing Joker for the third cause no1 can top Heath Ledgers performance so this is just me but Deadshot played by Daniel Day lewis and possibly The Riddler played by Johnny Depp if not that then bring back Aaron Eckart as Two-Face

  • Well you know they cannot let people without knowing what happened to the Joker (probably going to a mental institution) but anyone after that Joker we want more of Joker..but then there is no actor...but then you think..Jack Nicholson did a great job as joker long ago and no one think that someone could replaced...then comes Ledger and once again people think the same...well, lets hope sum1 else comes and show us that..

  • I think if they did show what would happen, it would ruin the ending to this movie. We all know he would have escaped anyway soooo....it wouldn't make a difference lol.

  • Harvey died when he fell from the building with Batman, so he can't come back.

  • whats with Bales New York Accent???...god damn u Heath teasing us with the Joker.NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  • it wasn't a new york accent...

    christian bale was a welsh accent but most of the time he fakes an american accent.

  • Heath deserves an oscar for his acting in this movie !

  • ..yeah..thats sounds like the "christian" thing to say..u fuckin' moron...while were on the subject, I guess "gays" need to stay out of the Armed Forces has well uh??..Did you like the movie "300"..Spartans..most impressive warriors the world has ever know.??...guess what..they were conducted homo acts also...but I guess that means they need to burn in hell also..you stupid bastard..play your video games & STFU.

  • excuse me asshiole so wat he played a gay guy he has a daughter and he was a talented actor he can do better than ur dumb ass and who r u 2 judge u not god so dont talk bout ppl going 2 hell

  • dude Heath wasnt one of my favorite actors before this.. I hardly knew his movies..

    but he did FUCKING INCREADIBLE in this batman..

    Holy shit. He'd be the new Johnny Depp is he hadn't passed.. that really is tragick..

    At least his final movie was awesome. I'm going to buy it when it comes out.

  • Hands down this is one of my favorite acting performances of all time, it was epic! The whole movie I was thinking about the Joker and no one else, he even got in my head haha

  • Watch the movie Two Hands. Excellent acting and also a lot of great Aussie actors in that film. Really good plot that helped Heath rise to fame in Australia.

  • heath did such an amazing job! i want to go see the dark knight again! <3

  • because heath completely immersed himself in such a difficult character for 12-14 hour workdays the role drained and exausted him, he started taking sleeping pills to help him relax and get to sleep, among other things, it was simply a gradual build up of various prescription pills he had been taking until he eventually got to a lethal dose. "my back REALLY hurts today so i'm gonna take two instead of 1" for example. its careless, its stupid, and its tragic. he never thought it would kill him.

  • 1. He didn't commit suicide, read the interview for New York Times in November.

    2. He is the best Joker because he was able to truly demonstrate the qualities of the Joker from the original cartoon characters and bring it to real life where we can relate to it

    And his career was at its' peak...why would he commit suicide? And his baby girl was in the room with him...

  • watch the video response the kid is soooo gay

  • you got to be kidding me Heath Ledgers joker made all the other jokers look like amateurs Heath deserves an oscar. If anyone tries to play the joker they will just be made fun of because Heath put his signature on the role of the Joker

    and he did not commit suicide so if you didnt know Heath dont assume his death it pisses me off

    RIP HEATH

  • He didn't die because of his character he was just focused on the movie and took a bunch of sleeping pill to try to sleep but accidentally overdosed.

  • @JZthePlayer yes he died from the charcter he said it drained him mentally and physically he only got 2 hrs of sleep and see what happen next

  • Definitely an Oscar contender for Supporting Actor, he was so dark, and wonderful as the Joker. Heath was a wonderful actor, RIP.

  • too bad he died. i didn't see the movie but i heard he was the best joker of all time (except the Batman TAS joker but then again that guy was a cartoon)

  • pff, imo heath was way better.

  • no. he wasn't. it's not even really a matter of opinion anymore if we're talking about the stupid cartoon. yeah maybe he was kinda good.

    did that man completely emerge himself into the character of the joker? no. how do i know this? because it was a cartoon! i'm sorry but if he were to actually act the role it would suck. heath wins. and i'm not just saying this because heath died (RIP)... my opinion would be the exact same if he were still alive

  • dude! i was talking about the carracter not the fucking guy who made the joker VOICE! i'm talking about the joker as an evil sick bastard! i didn't say that heath sucks, he actually owns!

  • haha, i don't think anyone even knows what you're talking about anymore

  • I like the part when he's in the car with his head out of it...escaping...creepy XD

  • hahah that was cool but the best Joker scene is the pencil trick hands down.

  • he has suicide

  • Idont agree with you! I dont think it was intentional... antidepresing pills can be the worst thing ever to happen to a person. they put you into a horrible state of nonsense.. and just one pill more than the ones you need to take can cause you death... Altough we really dont know what hapened, I give the benefit of the doubt...

    ¡HONNOR TO HEATH!!!!! HE INDEED WAS A GREAT ACTOR! AND WELL REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS!!! HE DESERVES THAT OSCAR!!!!!

  • he didn't commit suicide

  • That's what everyone says, he committed suicide. But why would he kill himself when his last full movie was already buzzing with excitment and while he was filming another movie? Someone dies of pills and everyone just assumes suicide. Heath was beast.

  • TO HEATH! this movie is to honor the best actor i've ever seen in my life so far. he has really defined Joker, Criminal Mastermind, and evil traits that makes him the Joker in Dark Knight... it sucks that Heath died, but how did he die? i heard it was medical problems

  • OSCAR OSCAR OSCAR!!
