Offers them a solution with his exact quota. Leave his business card, and doesn't pressure anyone to buy into his service.

You nailed it. Batman was a bench warmer. Whereas the Joker the was the indisputable star in the movie. Instead of THE DARK KNIGHT the movie should've been called: JOKER: THE AGENT OF CHAOS. My gosh. He was always 100 steps ahead of Batman! LOOK AT ME!!!
I love how casual the Chechen is, from nodding his head at the magic trick like "huh, that was kind of cool" to being politely curious about what the Joker was going to propose.
Man has seen some shit in the east back in the day. Some lunatic in a clown makeup could just be your old buddy Dimitry or Jevgeny or whatever from the next block
Each mob boss had a different approach to the Joker. Gambol absolutely despised him and didn't trust him, the Chechen kinda liked him and was all ears about what he had to say, and Sal Maroni was cautiously neutral about him. In the end, Maroni was the only one smart enough not to get involved with him and even ratted him out, but he still got killed indirectly by the Joker through Harvey Dent(Joker's ace in the hole).
that was indeed said, and there were comments on it, and comments about those comments. why not just quote the whole video at this point, I don’t think we’ve heard it enough.
That is undoubtedly the funniest thing in this video. Lol. I remember watching this, the first day people clapped at the pencil trick. I watched this again the 2nd day, my friend was tickled at his "Yeah" response. He didn't need to say anything there but that yeah just completed it.
Yeah, I think the Slav is the only one that immediately took him seriously. Notice he’s the only one they show not laughing when the Joker says he wants half?
Notice how when Joker gets called a freak and crazy he stutters and loses his rhythm. He firmly believes he isn't a freak even though everyone else sees him as one. The little details that add to his character are amazing!
Joker believes that morals and rules are mere excuses for people's hypocrisy when they eventually go against it for any reason. That ultimately it is a dog eat dog world. He goes to prove it when he threatens to blow up a hospital if the guy threatening to expose Batman's identity isn't killed, and when he offers one of the 2 boats to be spared if one blows up the others. Batman saw that Joker wants to prove that deep down everyone is a 'freak' and a monster like him.
The way he locks onto Gambols eyes and the way he repeats it was always my favourite part of the whole movie. It's subtle, but I know that exact look - when he says "im not" he intends for it to be taken with more weight, so when they all continue to laugh it become personal for him. The glare demands Gambol lock eyes with him for him to repeat the statement again, clear as day, no bullshit or confusion. The way he delivers those lines makes me think that - to heath's joker - the assertion that he's crazy is something from his past that contributed to him being who he is now. It obviously means a lot to the character, not only that he is not called crazy, but that no one walks away with any sort of misconception that he is. Its more important to him than money, catching batman, the guy he just killed... id go as far as to say that being acknowledged as "not crazy" is more important to Joker than anything else in that room at the moment - one has to wonder what would have happened if Gambol had not done Joker the respect of meeting his gaze as he repeated himself. 🤔
see when people ask why Ledger was best...!! is how he nailed those little details...!! people say stop sucking his dick and move on...!! naahh fuck no you dont move on... this is a fucking standard
To earn through strife and work is an honest living. To GIVE your honest work is a privilege. How many has a special skill they've developed for years others want and most admire, and they can honestly give it away. Not to be kind, not to be a nice person to ones friend but straight out give it away out of good heart that you are. A nice guy is asked for change and offer some, a good person gives without needing a question cause he already knows the answer, and he's the only one who needs to know. But if he gives it away, it only makes it better.
Aaron Lane 😂😂😂😂 I love it. It’s totally true. The joker is awesome. I love how comical this is: ‘what happened? I mean did your balls drop off?’ ‘I know why you choose to have your ‘group therapy sessions’ in broad daylight. So clever and awesome
The way Ledger emphasized the "T" in the "I'm noT" response to being called crazy, along with the eye twitches and half blinks is what made him a legendary actor in this iconic role
@Edwin Well it's not really true, he got paid for what he's good at. What he did with his money is up to him, some people burn their money with drugs, some people burn their money with debt, he burned his money with gas.
@Edwin The joker demands half of their money to ''kill the batman'' not because he wants money, but because by taking their money and destroying it, he weakens them, making it easier to take over. Joker used it as a means to an end, because his ultimate goal (he tells this to batman) is to literally play this ''game'' with batman for forever, or until Batman finally breaks his only rule. His sole purpose is to push Batman right up to the edge, and test him at every turn. He gets the mob on his side by saying he will kill Batman, but never has the intention to.
@@GMthunderbreak Yeah it's not true. He just killed a guy 2 mins ago with his _"Magic Trick"._ Also he says *"We kill The Batman."* But when he met Batman he says: "I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?" ua-cam.com/video/jane6C4rIwc/v-deo.htmlm5s
It ties in beautifully to his entire point in the movie, that anyone can be turned, can be deemed “crazy” - they just need a little push. And I haven’t seen this ever being mentioned, but I think the Joker doesn’t want to be alone(Batman even tells him he is at the end). He doesn’t like the idea of people potentially being more like Batman than people being more like him, so he goes to great lengths to prove that they are more like him, and when he’s proven to be wrong at the end just look at the sadness and disappointment in his face
C H I L L exactly. i wonder what happened in his past to trigger his defensive reaction. he’s clearly been called crazy before and it deeply affects him psychologically
gwp4eva I’m thinking that him being called “crazy” is something from his past or he’s just tired of being called crazy by everyone and gets annoyed when someone says it
Yes The Joker Is The Invisibele Dude From Bataman Dark Night He Is My Favorite Villain From The Top Because He Is A Very Funny Helerious Dude Not Real That Doesn’t Exist In Real Life
@@alexbrasinha yes alexandre. but i think there is not the joker. but someone that has his skillset. (in some off the books millitary something) . even if he is not real, the concept of him scares me😂
By doing that Heath did a fantastic job of giving the audience an extra dimension, and view into the Jokers backstory and inner psychology of the character. I'm sure I won't see a better portrayal of the Joker in my lifetime.
@@MrDemoncrusher You did. Phoenix was better than Heath but in a far more subtle way. Saying that, I couldn't see Arthur Fleck becoming this guy, more a child-like and extremely creepy dude, more like a Son of Sam than a political terrorist. I get you though, this incarnation of 'psycho rookie' Joker is disturbing as hell. This was a full-blown horror movie. Phoenix was the scariest Joker by far though, simply because it's as real as it gets.
I just realized that there were metal detectors and guards at 0:13 yet Joker completely walked into the room unopposed without them going off despite carrying a jacket full of hand grenades🃏
His ticks. His intonations. His pauses and side glances. Truly a mesmerizing and amazing performance and totally worthy of that Oscar he won posthumously.
“And btw… the suit it wasnt cheap. You outta know you bought it.” Something about that line just makes me go wow everytime. This performance will never be matched.
It's crazy how, in the context of the story, Joker never meant "kill the Batman" as in actually ending the man's life. He meant kill his image and his reputation. And Joker actually succeeds at doing just that.
This is why Heaths Joker will always be superior to any other depictions of the Joker including Joaquin Phoenix‘s. Heath’s Joker is always several steps ahead of Batman and the police and has multiple contingencies to ensure his plane work. He is a criminal genius and not just a mentally ill person driven to crime by victimisation. He is truly the crown prince of crime.
@@mdgcwood you have to admit tho that joaquin almost perfectly depicted a lonely man with social anxiety and disorders and they were realistic with his boundaries
@@bailey4273 yes he definitely did! I like that movie, the aesthetics of the old Gotham city and his intense acting were incredible!!! I just didn’t think the character was in keeping with the Joker.. The Joker in my mind is a genius. A demented, homicidal, extremely dangerous Genius who is capable of detailed and elaborate strategies and plans. Phoenix’s depiction of the Joker was demented and frightening but he didn’t seem smart enough to achieve complex plans that would outwit Batman and the police. He was was a victim of mental illness and an uncaring society with inadequate health care, which made him a sociopath and that didn’t mesh with the idea that the Joker should be an insane unstoppable force of chaos… I loved how articulate Heath’s Joker was “I’m not a monster, I’m just ahead of the curve” frightening.
"You're crazy." "I'm not." He responds so quickly and humourlessly there. I'm actually glad that his sensitivity to being called crazy or a freak was never important to the plot. It's just a cool detail for a cool character.
Always loved that exchange. Gives a human temper to the imperviousness he otherwise exudes here. As bad as it'd be to have someone this fearless and capable as an enemy, having him personally affronted by you is yet worse. 😆 Even though Gambol is technically killed out of frame, the viewer can infer Joker might've gashed him apart with a bit more venom than his usual "didn't even look at 'em" dispatchings.
@@BIL0471 - killed out of frame? That makes sense then because what I saw is joker having a knife to Gambol's mouth and then his back where he was limp and lifeless and slouched to the ground. Thought they cut out a scene or something
Yeah, that's exactly how they shot it. Knife in mouth, cut (bwahaha!) to terrified underling, "Why so serious?" Then musical sting while underling recoils in horror at the unseen butchery, then Gambol slumping to the floor. TDK is pretty elusive with its hardest violence, I didn't even remember Joker stabbing those two guys to lever himself up off the pool table right before, until rewatching the clip.
2:40 i love that he loses his train of thought after the freak comment. it's like in that exact moment he decided "ok, i'm killing this guy" and took a few seconds to think of his whole plan to kill him, and then he comes back to and tries to remember what he was saying "...a guy like me..."
Joker's reaction after the guy says "You're crazy" is exactly why Ledger won that Oscar. The calm rage, the eye twitch, the subtlety in how much he hates being called crazy. So good.
I thought he loves being seen as a madman? He calls himself a freak/outcast when telling Batman “they’ll cast you out like a leper. You’re just like Me!”
The CASUAL dismissal of a threat upon his life This guy literally just couldn't care less. A psychopath with no moral constrictions or sympathetic forethought; just a dog chasing a car And Gambol actually thought he could threaten this dog... lul
All time classic introduction. All time classic line. All time classic scene. All time classic roll. All time classic movie. 2nd best line was " Did your balls drop off? Huh?" 1st time ever the Best Actor Oscar was awarded in absentia. And he earned it.
Always thought that. Seeing it that night in the theatre, the way he moved in those seconds combined with the distance vs the way the makeup made him look at that distance. Creepy as all heck.
The way he kicks the door open at the end is so cool. The Joker was amazing in this. He was somehow funny, smart, crazy, and scary all at the same time.
Yeah I was thinking that. He switches effortlessly between being intimidating, intelligent, and comical. Shuffling off backwards and kicking the door to me seemed kinda funny after the seriousness of threatening a room of Mafia lords.
The script in this movie is impeccable. It's written like a slick crime film and not a superhero flick. Small touches like Joker calling Lau "the television" are just brilliant.
@@axelramirez6730 paid off? He was burnt alive on a giant stack of money after getting himself kidnapped in his own building within a month. Lao fucked up badly.
I love how he literally assaults one of the guards by shoving a pencil in his eye/head, and the russian dude literally looks like ”that’s a pretty cool trick actually!”
And we didnt even get to see his trick. He was all set up for a little magic to lighten the mood and then tragedy strikes. That's why you dont horseplay in the office. Somebody could get an eye put out. He had even promised to show how it was done.
I was the only person in a packed theater that laughed at that part and it was a loud laugh and I looked around me and I was like "really, nothing?" Lol. I remember that pretty well.
"how about a magic trick?....we're gonna make capitalism, disappear....." *spontaneously starts rebuilding the soviet union* "TADA! it's, it's....gone." "if it's so simple, why haven't you done it?" "we don't say _you,_ we say _we."_ "how much you want?" "uh... as much as the government dictates.." *laughter* "you're crazy!" "I am....yes, I am....."
Which is why he is Batman archenemy. There is nothing joker won't do and his psychotic unpredictability is what makes it so hard for batman to stop him. Usually batman can figure out what a villain is after, their goals and wants and then use that information to stop them but with the joker he just enjoys chaos. It's impossible to figure out what he is after in life.
I think it’s because he’s extremely realistic. The joker could literally put anyone on their ass if he wanted to, with how much of a genius he actually is. A lot of the shit we saw in this movie proved that he is ungodly intelligent, and if he didn’t want to go after his beliefs he could be the most successful criminal on earth.
I love how the Russian guy is always regarding The Joker seriously. Like most of the men in the room laugh The Joker off or view him with disbelief but the Russian guy doesnt show anything other than genuine interest in what the Joker wants and is capable of. It makes sense when you consider what The Joker has done here too, he's stolen from them successfully, walks into their secret meeting without incident, and offers to solve their problem. He's already shown them what kind of power he has, but only rhe Russian guy sees it.
Yeah the Russian guy knows the Joker not only has massive balls but gets results, unfortunately he did not realize the Joker himself does not overly care about money thus there if no real want to control him as the one thing he wants Chaos is not something they can leverage to control him
@@starfishandroid Okay but literally everything else I said was true from his POV the Joker is a mercenary/opportunist the thought of him being an agent of chaos that cannot be bribed/reasoned with never occurred to him
In addition, the African-American is the one who has the most anger towards him because they have killed his right-hand man or bodyguard, simply to make his presentation with a joke, killing him in an instant. "my boy" implies that although for us we see him in a few seconds, for him he was a valuable man who deserved to be next to a mob boss.
@@ecndwildlife6327 To be fair he clearly was the least willing to work with the joker and it was self defense he thought the joker really was dicking around about to perform a magic trick
Exactly, Even when he says we kill the batman and he wants half everyone laughs at him except the Russian. You can always make more money but without dealing with the actual problem then it'll cost you everything, Even your freedom. The Russian knows this.
@Brayan Carmona Are you serious? He kills people because he wants to mess with the natural order of things. This version of the Joker is an anarchistic madman, his goal is to destroy the foundations of society so that people can all be who they really are. Remove the rules and laws. Every man for himself, and dog eat dog. He’s not fighting for a greater good. He’s fighting to create a world without structure or governing bodies. A world as crazy and unpredictable as himself.
"you see.. a guy.. like me" "a freak!" aa... ee.... thats.. an expression of him supressing his anger, while trying to get back to what he was saying after being interrupted by an insult. its actually quite a masterpiece in my opinion.
@@vietle8156 because Joker truly believes that he's the actually sane person in, well, all of the World. He looks to these mafia men as outcasts that could've been better at what they do, and to receive such words from them, it's offensive to Joker.
The little clicking sound he makes between "a guy like me....look listen" and "I know why you choose to have...." is an epic rarely paid attention to addition to the character. All the little sounds and ticks that were added into the proformance, brought the character to life. Ledger truely was the Joker
How, it’s still corny? He did a great job acting but the others bring it down. The acting and writing in this scene is atrocious. Quit giving it a pass based on Christopher Nolan and the late Ledger. I prefer the comic book style of Batman and Batman Returns.
@@nyk3334 the writing in this scene isn't bad. the acting is bad on michael jai whites' behalf. Would you prefer the script for this scene to have over the top cringey dialogue like in comic books? maybe some kachows?
Got damn the Joker is just a masterfully written character. He never wanted to physically kill Batman, just the idea of him. And he knew the mob would misunderstand his request.
I always thought that at first he wanted to kill him just for the challenge of it and he prolly thought of him as a nuisance, then he changed his mind cus they caused so much chaos in their conflicts.
Killing that idea would've destroyed the city faster than anything else, the joker was like the devil and he knew how to cause real damage and the Batman eventually understood that the joker is sicker than 'someone who just wants to watch the world burn'.
Notice how the Joker suddenly gets serious when he's called 'a freak' or 'crazy'. He doesn't reply with a witty one liner or a chilling sentence, instead he seems... insecure. That is an amazing detail added by Nolan to the character: he doesn't like being called those things because that is all he was called throughout his life, and he's spent his whole life trying to prove them wrong.
cause he’s insecure in his misanthropy, he wants people to take it seriously and he wants to convince himself and others that there’s no hope anymore. All that gets thrown out the window if he’s just some loon, which he kind of is.
That's not on Nolan. That is all Ledger. If you take the time to read the screenplay for the movie, it never states that Ledger should respond differently to that type of comment. It only states that he says "No...I'm not. I'm not..." That is acting, and that acting is the reason Ledger was awarded an Oscar for his performance. The second ever given to an actor.
@@lihclore What are you talking about “alternative”? I was just defining what the quote means. Why are you even interested in mine own political ideology? You know you’re walking in a minefield there.
"Oh, and, by the way, the suit? It wasn't cheap. You oughta know, you bought it," is one of the most brilliantly delivered lines in a film full of brilliant lines
I love The Russian mobster’s expression after the joker drilled a pencil through the dude’s head... He looks genuinely impressed, somewhat frightened, and seems to be the only one taking him seriously.
That pencil trick gave him not only instant street cred, but Status...that's the kind of story becomes urban legend ("...and the pencil did disappear! Along with the guy! Dis-speared it in his eye!")
I dont really see how the pencil trick worked tbh. a no.2 pencil, with eraser up? Some... welp[!] Most bullets (via handguns) have a hard time piercing bone.
That line was Improvised. Heath was supposed to say "I'll steal more", but Heath didn't like it and changed it to...."Yeah". During Filming, they didn't realize he had changed it until the entire scene was shot. When Nolan Watched it Back, he Loved it, and Kept it.
I remember seeing this in theaters. After the Joker kicked the door open and left, people in the theater were murmuring and some were chucking in a anxious way. Ledger’s performance was so raw and unnerving the audience didn’t know whether to laugh or take it serious or what. What a phenomenal piece of acting.
One of the reasons I liked Ledger's performance so much is how "funny" he was with his dark humor. He told them he paid for it with their money. He answered a rhetorical question. And he made a pun when he revealed the grenades. He was a fantastic Joker.
heard this about him so it's an urban legend, heard Liberace in his older age would pay for younger men to get plastic surgery to look like him before he would have sex with them. do with that possible fact or fiction what you will.
in fact i bet he never bugged them, he was man of respect and privacy himself. Man or his word , honor , he thought the world deserved a better class of heroes.
@redbandit11 definitely joker. He would just fucking bomb John wick or run him over with a fucking tank while firing an RPG and even if he fails he would be wearing a suicide bomb vest just so that if he goes down, the enemy goes down with him
Which joker origin story do you like better ? This joker: A crazy guy wearing face paint. Or do you prefer the joker from the 1989 Batman movie who was dropped in acid and had his skin bleached white? (Who actually wears makeup/paint to make himself look like a normal skin color.)
@@danielthemaniel7934 Joaquin's Joker is a very different take and went a completely different direction, So it really comes down to personal preference, I like ledger's better since he feels more intelligent, chaotic and mysterious and left you always fascinated and wondering what's going on inside his head or what actually happened to him in his past that made him that way, while Joaquin's story was more focused on trying to make you empathize with him.....still I do agree that no one can top either
@@nuttkicker245 Fair enough. Joaquin's did play into crazy just for the sake of crazy in some scenes. They definitely took very different directions but the acting in both cases were outstanding
Agreed. Both are fantastic in their own ways. Joaquin is the Joker before and when he became the Joker, whereas Ledger is the Joker at his peak, the one we’re all familiar with.
Two great actors with different interpretations, imo none is really 'better'. Ledger's Joker was the cold blooded bad a^s sociopathic Joker. Phoenix's was the more human, relatable Joker. Arthur Fleck was not necessarily born a sociopath, he's more of a feeling person who was an outcast from society. Ledger's Joker rejects society and their norms in a more militaristic fashion, with a purpose. Phoenix's Joker is just lashing out at those who hurt him
Soleyman Amiri Cringe. Things not going well for you, bud? Gotta try and pick fights over the Internet? Good luck to you on that and future endeavours.
Regardless of ones opinion on this film, it can be unanimously agreed Heath Ledger as the Joker is one of the greatest performances in cinematic history.
@@eduardocascudo3005 Yeah, I think they both nailed the "Joker", different versions or perceptions of the character. Both Phoenix and Ledger were definitely amazing.
Anyone who says This was 'far' above Joaquin should be discounted, any comparison is foolish and only a foolish person would ever make a statement like that. They are both completely unique
The quick one second scene of a metal detector being used on them all and then the joker walks in with multiple explosives is a masterclass of build and pay off that your brain doesn’t even recognise on first watch

“If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”
They call him crazy, meanwhile he’s dropping absolute solid gold BARS.
@Edwin Well it's not really true, he got paid for what he's good at. What he did with his money is up to him, some people burn their money with drugs, some people burn their money with debt, he burned his money with gas.
Sometimes my boss doesn't understand it 😅
@Edwin The joker demands half of their money to ''kill the batman'' not because he wants money, but because by taking their money and destroying it, he weakens them, making it easier to take over. Joker used it as a means to an end, because his ultimate goal (he tells this to batman) is to literally play this ''game'' with batman for forever, or until Batman finally breaks his only rule. His sole purpose is to push Batman right up to the edge, and test him at every turn. He gets the mob on his side by saying he will kill Batman, but never has the intention to.
@@GMthunderbreak Yeah it's not true. He just killed a guy 2 mins ago with his _"Magic Trick"._
Also he says *"We kill The Batman."* But when he met Batman he says: "I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?"

good comment
Those tiny moments when The Joker is clearly hurt by being called a freak and crazy are what make this perfomance brilliant
The acting is great, I feel like he is genuinely bothered by be called those things. His mannerism are spot on
it's like he's adding +1 to his kill list
It ties in beautifully to his entire point in the movie, that anyone can be turned, can be deemed “crazy” - they just need a little push. And I haven’t seen this ever being mentioned, but I think the Joker doesn’t want to be alone(Batman even tells him he is at the end). He doesn’t like the idea of people potentially being more like Batman than people being more like him, so he goes to great lengths to prove that they are more like him, and when he’s proven to be wrong at the end just look at the sadness and disappointment in his face
Ironically, the Joker can't take a joke. Brilliant characterization
@@wDoucheCanoe thats a great observation that i never really made even after my 7th time watching this master piece
I still remember how silent the opening night crowd was whenever Ledger was on screen. Utterly commanding performance

I'm noTTT *licks lips*
Im pretty sure he got really deep into this role and actually turned a little crazy
Because in his point of view, he isn’t
C H I L L exactly. i wonder what happened in his past to trigger his defensive reaction. he’s clearly been called crazy before and it deeply affects him psychologically
gwp4eva I’m thinking that him being called “crazy” is something from his past or he’s just tired of being called crazy by everyone and gets annoyed when someone says it

The way his whole manor switches around 3:48 it’s incredible acting when they call him crazy
By doing that Heath did a fantastic job of giving the audience an extra dimension, and view into the Jokers backstory and inner psychology of the character. I'm sure I won't see a better portrayal of the Joker in my lifetime.
A homicdal arties and an agent of charos, the Clown Prince of Crime is the embodimething Batman fights against, and eveythings he feras.
he let him have freak, but his demeanor changed when he called him crazy. lol
@@MrDemoncrusher You did. Phoenix was better than Heath but in a far more subtle way. Saying that, I couldn't see Arthur Fleck becoming this guy, more a child-like and extremely creepy dude, more like a Son of Sam than a political terrorist. I get you though, this incarnation of 'psycho rookie' Joker is disturbing as hell. This was a full-blown horror movie. Phoenix was the scariest Joker by far though, simply because it's as real as it gets.
I just realized that there were metal detectors and guards at 0:13 yet Joker completely walked into the room unopposed without them going off despite carrying a jacket full of hand grenades🃏

2:08 The thought of Joker going into a store and getting fitted for a custom purple suit and actually just paying for it normally
It's crazy how, in the context of the story, Joker never meant "kill the Batman" as in actually ending the man's life. He meant kill his image and his reputation. And Joker actually succeeds at doing just that.
This is why Heaths Joker will always be superior to any other depictions of the Joker including Joaquin Phoenix‘s. Heath’s Joker is always several steps ahead of Batman and the police and has multiple contingencies to ensure his plane work. He is a criminal genius and not just a mentally ill person driven to crime by victimisation.
He is truly the crown prince of crime.
@@mdgcwood you have to admit tho that joaquin almost perfectly depicted a lonely man with social anxiety and disorders and they were realistic with his boundaries
@@bailey4273 yes he definitely did! I like that movie, the aesthetics of the old Gotham city and his intense acting were incredible!!!
I just didn’t think the character was in keeping with the Joker..
The Joker in my mind is a genius. A demented, homicidal, extremely dangerous Genius who is capable of detailed and elaborate strategies and plans.
Phoenix’s depiction of the Joker was demented and frightening but he didn’t seem smart enough to achieve complex plans that would outwit Batman and the police. He was was a victim of mental illness and an uncaring society with inadequate health care, which made him a sociopath and that didn’t mesh with the idea that the Joker should be an insane unstoppable force of chaos… I loved how articulate Heath’s Joker was “I’m not a monster, I’m just ahead of the curve” frightening.

When the Joker stole the money in the opening scene.
@Tercessuinotlim 13 I think he used the money from the heist to custom make a suit
Notice how at the beginning of the clip the one mob guy was saying he was in a cheap purple suit.
That was my favorite line 😂😂😂😂
@Tercessuinotlim 13 exactly would make it more expensive
"You're crazy."
"I'm not."
He responds so quickly and humourlessly there. I'm actually glad that his sensitivity to being called crazy or a freak was never important to the plot. It's just a cool detail for a cool character.
Always loved that exchange. Gives a human temper to the imperviousness he otherwise exudes here. As bad as it'd be to have someone this fearless and capable as an enemy, having him personally affronted by you is yet worse. 😆 Even though Gambol is technically killed out of frame, the viewer can infer Joker might've gashed him apart with a bit more venom than his usual "didn't even look at 'em" dispatchings.
It kinda is though? He doesn't think he is crazy because he thinks he's just ahead of the curve.
Also the " you think you can just steal from us?" And his simple quick "yeah" cool intro scene
@@BIL0471 - killed out of frame? That makes sense then because what I saw is joker having a knife to Gambol's mouth and then his back where he was limp and lifeless and slouched to the ground. Thought they cut out a scene or something
Yeah, that's exactly how they shot it. Knife in mouth, cut (bwahaha!) to terrified underling, "Why so serious?" Then musical sting while underling recoils in horror at the unseen butchery, then Gambol slumping to the floor. TDK is pretty elusive with its hardest violence, I didn't even remember Joker stabbing those two guys to lever himself up off the pool table right before, until rewatching the clip.
2:40 i love that he loses his train of thought after the freak comment. it's like in that exact moment he decided "ok, i'm killing this guy" and took a few seconds to think of his whole plan to kill him, and then he comes back to and tries to remember what he was saying "...a guy like me..."
yeah he was pretty offended lol😂

Joker's reaction after the guy says "You're crazy" is exactly why Ledger won that Oscar. The calm rage, the eye twitch, the subtlety in how much he hates being called crazy. So good.
I couldn't agree with you more.. A generational performance by Ledger.. That deadpan look he gives the guy is Chilling...
ABSOLUTELY!!! He REALLY didn’t like being called crazy…
Leto made a Better Joker at least at ending of video like here he woulda let know who Is Hugo Boss as Club scene with D.rodman and MargotRobbie
Also the way being called freak was a trigger for him. He had to gather himself and stay on track vs attacking gambol on sight
I thought he loves being seen as a madman? He calls himself a freak/outcast when telling Batman “they’ll cast you out like a leper. You’re just like
Me!”
“You think you can just steal from us and walk away” Joker “Yeah”

Joker is the rare villian that is actually, legitimately scary. You just never know what he's gonna do next.
Which is why he is Batman archenemy. There is nothing joker won't do and his psychotic unpredictability is what makes it so hard for batman to stop him. Usually batman can figure out what a villain is after, their goals and wants and then use that information to stop them but with the joker he just enjoys chaos. It's impossible to figure out what he is after in life.
I think it’s because he’s extremely realistic. The joker could literally put anyone on their ass if he wanted to, with how much of a genius he actually is. A lot of the shit we saw in this movie proved that he is ungodly intelligent, and if he didn’t want to go after his beliefs he could be the most successful criminal on earth.
CORRECTION : Heath Ledger's Joker is a rare villain.
right?even the mob was afraid of him
Joker is the chaos to Batman's order.
I love how the Russian guy is always regarding The Joker seriously. Like most of the men in the room laugh The Joker off or view him with disbelief but the Russian guy doesnt show anything other than genuine interest in what the Joker wants and is capable of. It makes sense when you consider what The Joker has done here too, he's stolen from them successfully, walks into their secret meeting without incident, and offers to solve their problem. He's already shown them what kind of power he has, but only rhe Russian guy sees it.
Yeah the Russian guy knows the Joker not only has massive balls but gets results, unfortunately he did not realize the Joker himself does not overly care about money thus there if no real want to control him as the one thing he wants Chaos is not something they can leverage to control him
@@LokiTheClever he is not Russian. He is Chechen.
@@starfishandroid Okay but literally everything else I said was true from his POV the Joker is a mercenary/opportunist the thought of him being an agent of chaos that cannot be bribed/reasoned with never occurred to him

His iteration of the Joker was just charming as hell. There's no way you can't like it.
Did you know that Heath accepted to be possessed by satan despite the warnings of his family? Even Christian Bale mentioned that.
Got damn the Joker is just a masterfully written character. He never wanted to physically kill Batman, just the idea of him. And he knew the mob would misunderstand his request.
perfectly said man, that’s something i never understood how he would say “kill the batman” but then say “i don’t wanna kill you” but now i get it
I always thought that at first he wanted to kill him just for the challenge of it and he prolly thought of him as a nuisance, then he changed his mind cus they caused so much chaos in their conflicts.
He wanted to “kill the batman”, not the man who was the batman
That’s why he killed the imposter! God this movie has so many layers
Killing that idea would've destroyed the city faster than anything else, the joker was like the devil and he knew how to cause real damage and the Batman eventually understood that the joker is sicker than 'someone who just wants to watch the world burn'.
Actually, my all-time favourite part of this is the way Heath Ledger delivered the "television's so-called plan" bit.
Notice how the Joker suddenly gets serious when he's called 'a freak' or 'crazy'. He doesn't reply with a witty one liner or a chilling sentence, instead he seems... insecure. That is an amazing detail added by Nolan to the character: he doesn't like being called those things because that is all he was called throughout his life, and he's spent his whole life trying to prove them wrong.
cause he’s insecure in his misanthropy, he wants people to take it seriously and he wants to convince himself and others that there’s no hope anymore. All that gets thrown out the window if he’s just some loon, which he kind of is.
That's not on Nolan. That is all Ledger. If you take the time to read the screenplay for the movie, it never states that Ledger should respond differently to that type of comment. It only states that he says "No...I'm not. I'm not..."
That is acting, and that acting is the reason Ledger was awarded an Oscar for his performance. The second ever given to an actor.
It didn't seem like insecurity; it seemed like "Oh, great, now he's going to do something dangerous."
Says who?
well, if a person on the train, or sitting next to me talked, moved and acted like him, i would think he has some serious mental disabilities.

I went to see the midnight showing of this movie. That got one of the the biggest laughs.
That line was Improvised. Heath was supposed to say "I'll steal more", but Heath didn't like it and changed it to...."Yeah". During Filming, they didn't realize he had changed it until the entire scene was shot. When Nolan Watched it Back, he Loved it, and Kept it.
Words to live by: "If you're good at something, never do it for free"
I'm sure Nolan has said this to his movie studio once or twice.
Dark Knight Joker and Les Grossman --
Two of the best mentors for our time
Words to live by why do you care so much about people who don't care About you?😢😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Jannies will never recover from this
What bullshit.
“Here’s my card.” That’s my favorite moment in a scene that’s nothing but great moments.
*_R.I.P Heath Ledger - he would’ve been 40 this year._*
Wow I didnt know he was so young.
The best actor IMO
And he would have taken part in The Dark Knight Rises too, to make it more great.
@@JinChinhang how do you know this?
@@pascalisoikonomou2637 Nolan said he had plans for more movies with Joker and Bats, but Ledger's death dashed those plans.
I remember seeing this in theaters. After the Joker kicked the door open and left, people in the theater were murmuring and some were chucking in a anxious way. Ledger’s performance was so raw and unnerving the audience didn’t know whether to laugh or take it serious or what. What a phenomenal piece of acting.
I loved every second of it
Ehh, ok...
One of the reasons I liked Ledger's performance so much is how "funny" he was with his dark humor. He told them he paid for it with their money. He answered a rhetorical question. And he made a pun when he revealed the grenades. He was a fantastic Joker.
That’s the perfect reaction, inspiring intrigue. The moment you realize this Joker is just a little different from the others.
I clapped my hands after he left. the best Joker ever 🙌🏻
The line about the suit not being cheap is one Liberace did at his Vegas shows.
"you outta know, you bought it!"
Ha ha ha ha, hahaha, ha, ha, ha, oh, a-hee-hee, ha ha, oh, hee hee, hee ha, ahaha. And I thought, my jokes were bad.
heard this about him so it's an urban legend, heard Liberace in his older age would pay for younger men to get plastic surgery to look like him before he would have sex with them. do with that possible fact or fiction what you will.
Just more proof to my theory that the joker was in fact Liberace! Been saying it for years now.
@@billbill9392 Sounds ridiculous, he's got to pay thousands and then wait several weeks everytime he wanted to get laid?
Nobody will ever beat Heath Ledger's Joker.. The guy put so much effort into the role it consumed him
RIP King 💙
I compare it Joaquin Phoenix. I STILL prefer Health Ledger. Of course, Nicholson's Joker is majestically done as well.
Joker, killing people with pencils before John Wick
Oh shit dats right
Plot twist: This is a prequel to John Wick! 0.0
😃😃
Sorry but this title goes to Joe Pesci, Good Fellas.
Sincere City I didn’t say Joker was the first
Possibly the greatest acting ever, Heath Ledger is missed.
Agreed bro
In my opinion, it’s jsut the most perfect villain I’ve seen so far. He did such a good job.
true !!!!!!!!!!

2:58 The way joker says "the batman" is just pure chills and goosebumps.
Was an spoiler for the next Batman? Maybe.
@@Renz0dV1 The Joker in this movie is a spoiler to The Joker movie
Dream comes true
At this point every word joker says is so "chill and goosebumps"
@@_FH_-pj3ef Cuz it is
in fact i bet he never bugged them, he was man of respect and privacy himself. Man or his word , honor , he thought the world deserved a better class of heroes.
I always liked how Joker just calls the asian guy "the television."
I would love to find out that he forgot the name and improvised "the television" instead.
Intense dark scene. Unlike anything in 2019 joker.
@@RisingDawn12 to be fair the 2019 Joker was an origin story and is a good movie in its own right
@@chinmander 👏🙏
He is telling lies visually
"I saw him kill a man in the kitchen with a pencil. With a FUCKING pencil!"
This is some John Wichk stuff
He does have sheer fucking will
Now that's a competition right there!
@redbandit11 joker
@redbandit11 definitely joker. He would just fucking bomb John wick or run him over with a fucking tank while firing an RPG and even if he fails he would be wearing a suicide bomb vest just so that if he goes down, the enemy goes down with him
Mob boss: You think you could steal from us and walk away?
Joker: *Yeah*

1:36-The greatest laugh entrance 😂
The Russian is the only one not laughing at Joker's proposal. Smart.
Paul Munro he did just witness him shove pencil up a dude’s eye
How to prove you're really serious:)
and look how that worked out for him
Maroni was the smart one in that table; the Joker actually had to unleash Two-Face to caught him
@@jjrj8568 Italians man..they the mafia, they knew how things work...
Paul Munro Nah it’s just because he’s Russian that’s the way they are
Imagine an actual clown saying that;
"Give me a call when you take things a little more serious."
So he have good jokes after all
"here's my card." I love the fact that he just left a joker playing card.
Like on a telephone call ? I'm not sure how to handle that.
I guess I could reply, "No, I like things a little fuzzy. I have all my life."
Which joker origin story do you like better ? This joker: A crazy guy wearing face paint. Or do you prefer the joker from the 1989 Batman movie who was dropped in acid and had his skin bleached white? (Who actually wears makeup/paint to make himself look like a normal skin color.)
@@taekwondotime probably the insane one. The one dumped in acid is kinda silly
Joker just apperars to make fun of the most dangerous criminals of Gotham and go away like nothing happened.
What a Savage.
"You think you can steal from us and just walk away?" "Yeah" hahaha
I remember the whole theater laughed at that line.
gostei da bandeira na tua foto
There nothing to him, literally the most fearsome villain of all time
After stealing from them too mind you
The virgin "How about another joke, Murray" vs the chad "How about a magic trick"
Merriweather fan?
Arthur Fleck would be in awe of how much an alpha male Batman is
“You’re crazy”
“IM NOT. No, I’m NOT”
This type of acting is what made him the best joker
It’s like you can tell the joker wanted to kill that guy who said it. Lol
noT*
i think Joaquin Phoenix is tied with Heath Ledger as the best jokers
@@danielthemaniel7934 Joaquin's Joker is a very different take and went a completely different direction, So it really comes down to personal preference, I like ledger's better since he feels more intelligent, chaotic and mysterious and left you always fascinated and wondering what's going on inside his head or what actually happened to him in his past that made him that way, while Joaquin's story was more focused on trying to make you empathize with him.....still I do agree that no one can top either
@@nuttkicker245 Fair enough. Joaquin's did play into crazy just for the sake of crazy in some scenes. They definitely took very different directions but the acting in both cases were outstanding
I like Joaquin's Joker. No problem at all with it. But, this is the ultimate Joker.
Agreed. Both are fantastic in their own ways. Joaquin is the Joker before and when he became the Joker, whereas Ledger is the Joker at his peak, the one we’re all familiar with.
Two great actors with different interpretations, imo none is really 'better'. Ledger's Joker was the cold blooded bad a^s sociopathic Joker. Phoenix's was the more human, relatable Joker. Arthur Fleck was not necessarily born a sociopath, he's more of a feeling person who was an outcast from society. Ledger's Joker rejects society and their norms in a more militaristic fashion, with a purpose. Phoenix's Joker is just lashing out at those who hurt him
I disagree.
Both phoenix and ledger are amazing, but the ultimate joker is nicholson. He is still not bested.
Skip 63 totally agree

Cringe. Things not going well for you, bud? Gotta try and pick fights over the Internet? Good luck to you on that and future endeavours.
Regardless of ones opinion on this film, it can be unanimously agreed Heath Ledger as the Joker is one of the greatest performances in cinematic history.
It’s not even a question… Far above Joaquin Phoenix, as good as that performance was….
@@eduardocascudo3005 Yeah, I think they both nailed the "Joker", different versions or perceptions of the character. Both Phoenix and Ledger were definitely amazing.
100% Maybe best 3 minutes ever
Anyone who says This was 'far' above Joaquin should be discounted, any comparison is foolish and only a foolish person would ever make a statement like that. They are both completely unique
@@CalebBerman a little demanding in your prayer, but nonetheless I am liking your intention sibling. God bless you and continue to learn
The joker was the first dude to kill dudes with a pencil before Jon Wick.
But he is the only dude to kill someone with the rubber side of the pencil. ))
@@BandytaX55 He did he stabbed the sharp end into the table then slammed that dudes head on the eraser part.
@@BandytaX55 explain how he stuck the pencil in the table without the sharp part then
Riddick does it better.

The quick one second scene of a metal detector being used on them all and then the joker walks in with multiple explosives is a masterclass of build and pay off that your brain doesn’t even recognise on first watch
