![Non-Batman Fan’s First Time Watching The Dark Knight! [Reaction]](/img/n.gif)
I read somewhere that Maggie wasn’t aware of how Heath was going to play the joker. She was actually terrified during that scene with him holding the knife to her face and telling the story of his “wife”
That makes total sense Amy, she seemed terrified to be honest lol
Michael Caine also wasn't prepared beforehand, and even was supposed to have a line when Joker steps into the room but was so surprised that he forgot to talk and they just kept filming.
people have tried to debunk that, talking about the actors having to practice their lines together and all before shooting. I had to tell them that that works for practicing for a stage play. movies are made entirely different, where the actors don't always practice together before filming. I have been in a couple of indie films myself, and I never met my co-stars until the day we met on the set and started filming! it just depends on people's schedules. I knew my lines, they knew their lines, the camera pointed, started rolling, and we were acting our parts.
And so was Michael Caine. He hadn’t even seen him in makeup when he came into the scene and Michael actually forgot his lines. It actually worked well with him being speechless so they kept it in
Also, he wasn't supposed to grab her. She was actually terrified.
The Joker was laughing as he fell off the building cause he thought he finally got Batman to break his code of killing someone
"In their final moments ppl show you who they really are"
He still managed to make Batman break his rule. Batman killed Harvey dent in the last scene
@@haytamhaytam7227and he corrupted all of them.
Gordon and Batman both pressured to lie people. And build false idea of “justice” in the Gotham.
One way or another he proved his point, he’s always has cards in his sleeves 🙌🏻
Perfect antagonist ❤ one love
heath wore prosthetic for the scares on his face and when he would move his mouth to talk overtime the prosthetic glue would dry and fall off making him go to the trailer and spend 20 minutes putting them back on and heath got tired of that so what heath decided to do was lick his lips alot this way would keep the moisture in place and would not fall off but also add a weird and creepy vibe to his character as well.
What a genius 👏
the joker switching the addresses was genius
Yup. A Joker move from the comics. He does that all the time.
a trickster just gives you the address? I would have immediately assumed he switched them, love it, true to his character, but I knew in theater when I first saw it, the Joker is like a choatic evil DnD character
@@mlledarcel it’s easy to say that looking back but if you’re in batman’s situation you’re not taking the risk of going to the opposite address
@PeebzAviation hahaha honestly knowing me I'd 50/50 on both in my brain and think for too long, I'd be in the station still when the barrels were blown
It wasn't specified, but I always figured the people on the boats had the remote to their own bombs. If they activated it, they would have blown themselves up, not the other boat. Seem like a very Jokery thing to do. Just like switching the addresses.
Wow, your boy really grew up fast. I remember seeing him in your first Star Wars reaction video and he was just small haha. From Boy to Young Man
And His Voice Dropped Big Time!
Probably the greatest comic movie ever. Christopher Nolan is unreal and Heath Ledger gave an all time performance.
You have heard of Two-Face cause he's a main Batman villain.
They sound like they didn’t read the comics
@@dwightfitch3120 or any animation from the past 30 years
@@dwightfitch3120
Or watched the animated series.
But not everyone has.
I understand Heath Ledger is a hard act to share a spotlight with. But Aaron Eckhart really deserves props for his portrayal of Dent. He was amazing in both his roles.
don't even need to be comic readers, Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face in Batman Forever
@19:40 the actress didn't know Heath Ledger was going to grab her face or do any of that, it was also the 1st time she saw him in the make-up, her fear was genuine, you can even see her look over to her director with that "WTF" look on her face
That's bananas !
Yep, then she went with the flow like a badass.
It comes with the job sometimes, other examples of this was IT the movie, fun fact the kids none of them knew what Skarsgaard would look like in the make up til they started filming their first scenes. They all admitted this in interviews and that they were all freaked out lol. Sometimes not knowing info or what someone will look like adds to the realism in the movie.
The Joker tossing out that glass of champagne represents how he is portraying this crazy, fun loving, pyscho, but he dumps it out because behind it all is a calculating mind with a plan.
Does he really look like a guy with a plan?
I read that he licked his lips like that because of the prosthetic that made the scars, but still very much added to the character! Also, a fun fact, the older gentleman who confronts the Joker at the party before Rachel steps in is a US Senator, Patrick Leahy, who is a huge Batman fan
A movie with Heath Ledger that is a coming of age story about the kids that made skateboarding what it is today. Lords of Dogtown. True classic!
Great Movie
The guy that threw the detonator out the window was the real hero. My favourite character.
Whatever he was in prison for, you hope he came up for early parole after that.
Harvey two-face is a one of the most famous Batman's villains.
The interesting thing with the "social experiment" in the end is that i wouldnt be surprised if the detonators blew up their own boats
I got to see this the day it came out in theaters and it's still one of the coolest movies I've ever seen in theaters. The perfect Batman movie IMO.
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Great line along with: "If you're good at something, never do it for free"
The great thing Nolan did with Batman franchise is he took out the super natural but very much stay true to the soul of the comics. Scarecrow was terrifying villain, Ra's Al Ghul though lesser known villain before movies was Batman's true evil counter part, just as gifted and dangerous. Two Face was finally given respect he deserve with his fascinating back story and how he became what he is today. And Joker always being the foil to Batman that no matter how many times they clash the Joker wins because he will never stop and Batman will never kill him. And with the last movie coming up Bane is finally feared for good reason in comics as one of the few villains that actual beat Batman.
19:26 I LOVED Your reaction to that part 🔥🔥 Maggie Gyllenhaal was NOT acting here I read somewhere. Nolan said to keep rolling because Ledger never broke character
I love how Leger improvised the bus scene and the clap and tossing the cup during the dinner party
Hey guys, you both are awesome!! A fun fact for you there is a video where a psychiatrist who specializes in dealing with dangerous people watched this movie and the part where Joker tells the story of the scars in the pool hall with his father the psychiatrist is completely certain this is 100% a genuine story the way Joker looked up as he’s speaking shows signs of remembering something painful and intense!! RIP Health he was the best
This doesn't make that story necessarily true... maybe the Joker was simply a very good actor, just like Heath
Apparently Michael Caine had lines but when he first saw Ledger as Joker he was
too shocked to speak.
Michael Caine was legitimately freaked out by the Joker's video where he kills the fake Batman.
I saw you responded to the comment about Maggie not knowing how Heath was going to play Joker but that wasn't all of it. It was also the first time she saw him in the makeup when they started the scene and it wasn't scripted that he grabs her, he improvised that so yes she was genuinely scared of him when shooting it.
That extract method Batman used in Hong Kong (with the balloon that gets grabbed by a plane) was a real extraction method developed in the 50s for the CIA called the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system (STARS), also known as Skyhook. The CIA and different US special ops units used it as a method of extraction deep behind enemy lines. It seems a bit far fetched, so finding out it was real and actually used is just kinda wild to me lol
Stating the obvious but still after all these years.....wow! What an incredible film and that ending.... goosebumps every time. Great reactions boys!
When he drops him and the sound.
I was on a roof last July, much lower and it collapsed. Snapped both bones in both my shins, 4 months in hospital (Bless and thank our NHS), rods in both legs, 8 months later I still can't walk but I'm trying.
First time I've watched that scene since my accident and it impacted like it hadn't before, pun intended.
Cheers for you videos lad's, be well 🍻
The joker's scars story changes to keep the illusion of the mystery behind the character's past. No one really knows how he got them but it adds the the depth to the character and tension.
Given how much the dad was giggling like a little schoolgirl through this, you'd think Christopher Nolan directed the greatest super-hero comedy flick.
The Dark Knight is just insanely good and ranks among the best comic book movies. And Heath’s performance as the Joker is phenomenal. He absolutely earned that Academy Award. 10/10
The musical score is amazing makes an epic movie.
Rip heath ledger will be the goat joker
You are right, Tommy Lee Jones does play Two-Face in Batman Forever.
And what a wonderful film it is 😂😂😂
Do you think the rise of AI will make it possible for us to replace George Clooney and Val Kilmer with Michael Keaton?
@@robmartin525 There's a reason Keaton didn't want to be in those films
Jeysus. I went away for a bit, came back and Lewis has a voice like Barry White! Great reaction guys, I’ve missed hanging out with you both.
It wasn't made clear, but I always figured that the people on the ferries had the remote control to their own bombs.
If they activated it, they would have blown themselves up, not the other boat.
Seemed like it would be a very Jokery thing to do.
Just like switching the addresses of Rachel and Harvey.
One little fact about Rachel's death is that when the joker tells batman where her and dent are, he actually switched the addresses to basically make him chose which one to kill instead of save
"Why do I think Tommy Lee Jones??"
Because you're right. Tommy Lee Jones played Harvey Dent/Two-face in one of the Tim Burton Batman movies.
In the Joel Schumacher films, not the Tim Burton ones. His were very different in terms of quality to the first 2 😂
I remember going to the theater with my Dad to see this and we were both blown away by how amazing the movie was! Great reaction!
Just watching reaction video give me goosebumps. It’s so good.
What a joy to watch a father son duo experiece the dark knight for the first time!! My sons 4 and i cant wait to watch this with him when hes a teenager. Great reacrion subbed 👍
I remember watching this in Theaters at least 12 time's first day Phenomenal!🦇🃏Glad you guy's loved it 🙏.."How about a magic trick?" ;)
The prosthetics were uncomfortable so Ledger naturally kept licking his lips. It was a nice touch for the character.
The dark knight rises is just as good. Tom hardy is amazing as bane!! Can’t wait to see ur guys reaction to it 😊
We can not wait also, i'm a big fan of Tom Hardy so should be awesome
@@SofaandChill oh trust me it is better than awesome 😝 x
a masterpiece of directing, storytelling, and acting. the way the whole movie was put together is just incredible
You are right Tommy Lee Jones played two face in one of the past Batman movies
If what I read was accurate, the part where the hospital detonator was malfunctioning was improv.
I believe Nolan discredited that. I don't remember where exactly I heard him bring it up but I think he said the explosion was meant to delay for safety reasons to prevent accidental injury.
Well, it was NOT accurate. ☺️The pause was meticulously planned, and they practiced the scene 12 times before they shot it.
(Inmate) “My insides hurt!”
(Louis) “That’s Taco Bell.”
😆😂🤣😂🤣😆💕✌️😂👍
Heath Ledger was the best Joker EVER !
I completely agree
Its my opinion that the Joker custom-designs his origin story to terrify the person he's talking to.
1.)His origin was about a nightmarish father when talking to mobster Gambol, b/c, statistically, Gambol probably came from a fatherless broken home which helped direct him to a life of crime and in his heart of hearts Gambol would have liked to have a father. Moral of Joker's story: "fear your dreams., son"
2.)His origin about a woman robbed of her beauty which destroys her marriage was for Rachel, a woman beautiful enough to engage a good and important man. If she loses her beauty will her life be destroyed, too? If so, her beauty is her cage and time is her jailer. Moral of Joker's story: "fear your dreams, pretty lady."
It seems like your son hit puberty in between uploads 😂
Great reaction. I think your boy, Lewis, summed it up with that one word. Wow. Your applause at the end. I wonder if audiences applauded at the end when it was first released. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they had.
The beauty of this movie, is that everyone came for Batman, but Heath Ledger as Joker stole the show… so much so that he won an Oscar for the role, tragically he passed before then, but his family accepted his award.
TRULY A MASTERPIECE of a movie, but even more so THE BEST JOKER 🌹🌹
Every time Joker tells how he got his scars it’s a different story, he does not tell the truth, which just adds to the mystery of his character
Great movie. So awsome! RIP Heath Ledger ✊✊🕊🕊
Absolutely still to this day a top 3 movie right there with revenge of the sith ❤️ you guys are so entertaining glad we got your reaction to this 🔥
Such an am,azing movie and easily into my top 10
@@SofaandChill what is your top 10 if you dont mind me asking?
Cant wait for you two to watch dark knight rises !!
The spilling the champagne is one of the best details. Topped only maybe by the jokers finger on the fireng pin while holding Harvey's gun to his head. By spilling the champagne it lets him look like he's so relaxing he's drinking on the job and so wild He's spilling it everywhere, but in reality its a way to stay stone cold sober.
Its also mirrored perfectly by bruce spilling his champagne off the edge of the bulding earlier.
Fantastic film, but you have got to see this in IMAX. I fly to London to the BFI IMAX everytime they have this on show. Last year they had a movie marathon with the Dark Knight trilogy. Fantastic movie. Heath Ledger only got to see the first 6 mins of the opening bank robbery scene. He loved it so much he asked to see it again 😊
The dark knight is the greatest superhero movie of all time
I remember I was one of the many who was scratching their head wondering why Nolan picked Ledger to be Joker. Once the first trailer was released we couldn’t have been more wrong. I was too young to appreciate the work Ledger had already done. Wonderful actor and I wish we could have seen more from him. RIP
Lord of the Rings and this Batman Trilogy are two of the greatest trilogies ever made. If not, #1 and #2.
Some of the best quotes, ever, in these two trilogies too!
“Some men aren’t looking for anything logical…some men just want to watch the world burn.”
“Madness is like gravity; all it needs is a little…push!”
“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Yep it was always a thing with Two Face, he had a coin he would flip to make all his crucial decisions. And yes, Tommy Lee Jones played him in Batman & Robin in the 90's. His character was excellent in the Batman Animated Series too.
The reason Heath licked like that was actually because the prosthetic on his face wound keep falling off, and he would lick to put it back in place, and it became part of his character.
such a great movie! so glad you guys enjoyed it!
A lot of the things Heath did/say or how he said it, was improvised or asked to be changed by him. If the director (hope that’s the right word) had gotten his way, the freezer scene would have looked somewhat different. When Heath went up to “Rachel” that was the first time (that’s what I’ve heard) that she actually saw Heath with the makeup on, so that was actual fear you witnessed on the screen. And the final thing I know of, is the hospital, once Heath pressed the button on the remote, the entire hospital was going to blow up (they actually blew up a real building for that scene so they only had one chance) but all of the charges didn’t go off, so Heath stood around and kept pushing buttons, and that’s the scene you saw in the movie. Once everything started blowing up, he rushed on the bus and the scene continued
The hospital explosion scene was meticulously planned, and they practiced it 12 times before they shot it. Not improv. The director explained it in an interview.
The reason for the different stories "Joker" gave was cause Joker has no official backstory, as Joker says in one of the animated movies, Killing Joke, I think "If I'm going to have an origin, I'd prefer it be multiple choice!" While there is a lose canon, PARTIAL origin of Joker, which is he was once a failed comedian who had a wife, they were struggling horribly, she was pregnant and died, as did the kid, everything went south and the man who was, was no more, things happened and he turns into Joker. But in regards to who Joker was before he was Joker in any further detail, there is none. And it's by design.
... Did you really quote that crappy animated version of the masterpiece of comics that is the Killing Joke ?
@@Maxime_G You can be a die hard fanboy all you want, I enjoyed the animated movie and had NO problem with it.
Great reaction. To me this was not only the best Batman movie (even of Nolan's trilogy) but Heath was incredible, his portrayal of the Joker was epic. It'd be great if you could watch/react to the movie Joker, with Joaquin Phoenix, not to compare it because that's impossible but also to enjoy how great of a performance he did with the character
This movie blew me away.
Truly one of the greatest movies of all time and it never gets old
That's the best vilain ever played right there...I I'm certain that noboby will ever top him...maybe they can get on his level...but never top him. RIP Heath Ledger.....the best of the best!
I agree...Darth Vader is still my favorite villain overall, but Heath Ledger had the best portrayal of a classic villain ever.
Ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light??? Jack Nicholson The Joker Batman The Movie
I’m sorry…but Kev…did you call him “Batrat” towards the end when you said something like “oh they’re gonna blame it all on Batrat”. That took me out!! Haha. So funny. If you didn’t, you should just admit you did. Cus that was hilarious. Thanks for the videos 😊
And yes you are correct about Tommy Lee jones playing two-face in Batman forever ‘95. Also starring Jim (James) Carrey.
Hahaha I actually did and I laughed myself when I watched it back as forgot I said it! Thanks for letting me know it made you laugh :)
One of the worst and most jarring actress changes that nobody asked for or wanted, and yet this movie is still almost perfect. It speaks to how well it was written and performed.
Are you from Liverpool? I heard it like one time, it came through clearly
County Durham mate, northern England but not from Liverpool
I love the scouse accent though lol
great reaction!
Fun fact the hospital stopped exploding midway, wasn't intentional, it was a technical issue, but heath ledger played it off so brilliantly that the director kept it in as was
im pretty sure it was planned, because you can see a clip here on yt, where he stops at a marker by the bus before slamming the detonator a couple of times!its a behind the scenes footage!
That’s not true. It was highly intentional and was a safety measure. They practiced the scene 12 times before they shot it. The director explained all of this in an interview.
Heath Ledger is the only actor in history to play the joker right. ❤❤❤ terrifying!
Seriously? TDK? You really need to watch more movies.
I feel like your son was genuinely disturbed throughout a lot of the joker scenes. I don’t blame him, heath really managed to bring the joker to life in a way I never expected the first time I watched in 2008. I was 11
The scene where Joker failed to blow up the hospital was completely improved, they had trouble detonating the explosives on cue and decided to keep the improv in R.I.P Heath Ledger
Not true. The director explained it in an interview. It was meticulously planned that way, as a safety measure, and they practiced it 12 times before they shot it.
The son:🤫🧏♂️🗿
One of my top 10
This version of the Joker, is so relatable, if you’ve been through pain in your life. Just as with every hero and villain story, they’re usually two sides of the same coin…they just chose two different paths to deal with the pain.
Joker wanted destruction and Batman wanted goodness.
Most of us, end up choosing a path closer to the Joker than to Batman; It’s why he’s the hero…someone who we’ll never actually be, but wish we were.
The joker is the perfect villain in this. Charismatic, smart and unpredictable. His little mannerisms make him even more terrifying.
When Joker was giving Batman the addresses to where Rachel and Harvey were being held, he switched up who was where because he knew Batman would go for Rachel and he also knew this would be the tipping point for Harvey and would turn him into the villain he became, Two-Face. Also the scene when Joker blows up the hospital where he is walking out and things suddenly stop exploding was not on purpose. It was improvised because there was a malfunction with the explosives so he turned around and did the whole shoulder shrug then they started going off again and startled him.
Pretty obvious if you watch the movie. The ol' switcheroo.
@@SubterrelProspector I've seen a lot of reactors where it just goes right over their head because they're either talking or just didn't catch it and they're all confused after it happens. Just wanna make sure they caught it lol
When Michael Caine started talking about the diamond theif in Burma I was screaming at my phone "Shut up! SHUT UP! Listen!" It's like my favorite scene.
"Oh he's talking about the Joker."
Y...yes. That was the point of the monologue.
That scene always gives me goosebumps and his take on the joker / jewel thief is later realised when he burns his pyramid of money
He didn't really improvise the lines, but all of the mannerisms and physicality were made up by Heath Ledger.
fantastic movie. Top 10 superhero movies
Awesome reaction of my favorite Batman movie!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you my friend and it was truly epic :)
You need to watch man of steel after this Batman trilogy! Let's goooo
So weird hearing Lewis’s voice these days being deeper than yours 😅
If you want to continue your DC comic book movie journey, I recommend Man of Steel
You should watch American Made I bet youd like it
I will check it out my friend!
Thanks, Kev! Thanks, Lewis! 🦇
"That's really good acting by Maggie Gyllenhaal. She just didn't seem to like that at all."
That's because she didn't :P until that take, she hadn't known what Heath was going to look like in full costume, nor (as others already mentioned) that he was going to grab her and stick the knife right in her face. She was in fact scared.
Same for Michael Caine. You see him just turning his head and staring at Heath as the Joker enters through the elevator... Michael actually had a line he was supposed to say but he was so genuinely in awe he forgot to say the line.
Nice to see some north-east content! Amazing film, amazing ending
Watch the Shawshank redemption that’s probably the greatest movie ever
Watch The Prestige...an amazing Nolan film!!
Who is this young man sitting beside you and where did your son go? What happened to him? lol 😂 Awesome reaction guys! ❤
21:10 who is dean fletcher?
Your son grew up in like two months. Deep voice now
whats the music you used in the intro
I'll check and get back to you
