Sadly this was one of the last films in which Heath Ledger acted as he died 6 months before the release of this film but his performance as the Joker won an Oscar which is well deserved. RIP Heath Ledger
The roll killed him. He closed himself into his room for weeks without light to try to think himself into his character and this worsened his depression.
@@moritzl4024this is so false and has been for 15 years. I could almost understand people speculating at the time but it's been shown to be not true. Stop spreading lies.
He died from a mixed prescription drug overdose because he was and had been suffering from insomnia and anxiety.
He was already filming his next movie at the time 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and was said to be in good spirits.
He killed himself... whether intentionally or not. Drinking and taking prescription meds. We this happens to someone that's not famous, no one feels sad or glorifies them...
No, his last acting roll was The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. He died while filming it.
His last film, which he died during filming was, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
The end is perfect. Gordon’s words with the scenes of the dogs chasing Batman and the music hit me every time I rewatch it.
What I wanted to know is what exactly happened to the Joker, because he didn’t die. He was just left hanging there
They really should have done a 4th film
@@jryanp no they shouldn’t have, 3 was enough!
We already have WAY too many sequels (not to mention reboots and remakes) enough as it is, we don’t need anymore. Why can’t more people see that… first of all, these movies weren’t even original… this franchise was just another reboot. Batman Begins wasn’t original and it got 2 sequels ontop of that and Hollywood is only cranking out more sequels, we don’t need anymore sequels to movies than we already do, in fact we don’t need anymore reboots or remakes either
@@nsasupporter7557the police arrested him. He went to Arkham asylum
😢every time
I think the facial expression shown at 27:22 is subtly some of the best acting of the entire film. Joker always maintains this attitude that he doesn't care about anything and he's just having fun. But when he tries to prove that everyone else is just like him and they prove him wrong, he is deeply affected. You can see pain and regret in his eyes and there's a little smile as he tries to shrug it off, but it's not a convincing smile. Everything this man believes just blew up in his face and he's very alone in these few seconds.
i don't get why so many people think he gave them the detonators to blow up their own boat. that makes no sense for the character, he's not going to punish the one who proves him right by pushing the detonator. also he would probably want the boat that survived living the rest of their lives killing all of those people, which wouldn't happen if they just blew themselves up. i don't doubt for a second there were no tricks to this and he would have let the boat survive that blew up the other boat.
Very good catch actually!
@@Jack_80fax, well said 👏
Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker was IMO the absolute greatest performance of a villain is history. So chaotic, calculating, dangerous, & terrifying.
I actually didn’t realize Two-Face was in the movie until Harvey brought in the coin, then I was like “wait, there’s a Batman villain who flips a coin… oh my god that’s Two-Face”. One of the best theater going experiences of my life
Not a secret that Harvey Dent becomes Two Face.
Must seen the animated series or comics. His name was a dead giveaway. Although Wayne & Harvey were actually friends in the series & comics.
@@kevtb874 let him enjoy it
I remember exatcly how my whole family went to see this in the theater when I was 12 and how I was blown away. To this day Heath's performance is one of the finest ever to see on any movie
This movie was so hyped up too and it still completely shattered my expectations. One of my best movie theater memories for sure.
One of the best movies and perhaps the greatest villain of all time. Top 5 without a doubt.
If i have to choose. I can deal with thanos or any villain. But not this guy. Im serious. Even the Batman scared of him.
"If you're good at something, never do it for free."
Words to live by
Don't live by an insane terorrist's words, please.
I dont think the joker is exactly the person whom you should take life advice from, my dude
@@cormano64sometimes, terrorists make sense.
Wise words
@@dallasyap3064 I too learn and follow mentally ill sociopaths instead of good guys.
This is the problem when low IQ people cannot differentiate between movies and reality
**Joker kills guy with a pencil to the skull**
Most reactors: Oh my god
Trixy: AHAHAHA!
That my favorite character gets to be in film adaptations that are this good is absolutely outrageous. This movie is just remarkable. Great reaction! It’s awesome seeing you react to this trilogy!
The Dark Knight is definitely hands down my favorite Batman movie of all time! This movie is absolutely masterpiece and darkest Batman and DC movie I had ever seen! Like cast did amazing on their roles like I once again really enjoyed Christian Bale as Batman, I defiantly really love Heath Ledger (RIP) as The Joker and he is my all time favorite Joker and his acting was amazing of making his character so threatening and Heath Ledger's Joker is one my favorite cinematic villains of all time also his Joker mischief was very creative.
That term fits, but I think you were looking for “definitively”
Maybe auto correct.
Not having a go or anything, trying to be helpful :)
FIRST TIME WATCHING "I love these movies."
For the boat bombs, a lot of people speculate that the remotes were actually for their OWN boats and the Joker just said they were for the other one, kind of like what he did with Rachel and Dent's locations.
It doesn't make sense if the switches were for their own respective boats because then the Joker would be some kind of morals' vigilante which he's not.
More likely each trigger was tied in to both bombs. No one would know which was the one that caused the explosions. More chaos as families across the city blame each other.
So in the comics there were 3 phases of the Joker, early on he was a gangster, later he became the goofball villain then he became an agent of chaos. It is said the different actors have portrayed different aspects. Cesar Romero portrayed the goofball in the 1960s tv series, Jack Nicholson went with the gangster & finally Heath Ledger did the agent of chaos, which Jared Leto attempted to reprise. Mark Hamil's version spanned all the different visions of the Joker.
What about joaquin phoenix he he was in his own Joker film
@@jamesmeechan6983 that was a story of psychosis that fit the outline of what people think could be true of the Joker but had nothing to do with the comic book character. Using the Joker name there was a marketing ploy to draw in the comic book turned movie fan base that had grown up around the Nolan Dark Knight & the MCU movies.
Was blown away when I first saw this at the movies when I was younger and so glad to see you liked it so much thank you! for the reaction!
Someone mentioned that Joker had his finger on the hammer when he ultimatumed Harvey in the hospital.
7:48 The fact that Ledger filmed that himself alongside the insane performance with that spectacular flawless laughter is one of those things that you see once in a decade...or maybe more
One of the best movies I ever had the pleasure of watching. Heath will always be the best Joker for me. RIP
Fun fact: during Joker’s scene with Harvey, his finger is on the hammer the whole time. With that, the gun would not have fired and Harvey never would have been able to kill him. Joker only gave him the illusion of a choice.
First I did not get the ending too. I understood it much later. The point of Batman sacrificing himself planting himself as the killer instead of Harvey is so Harvey remains uncorruptible in the eyes of Gotham. For Gotham Harvey Dent was a true hero and a beacon of hope, while Batman was still seen just as some crazy vigilante thus Gordon saying ,,he is the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now" The whole thing was to cover up, that in fact Joker was right after all. Everybody can fall into darkness with the right circumstances. Even the best of the best... Pure good souls. So Batman took the fall so Harvey can remain a hero after his death instead of dying as a murderer, as that could break a lot of peoples spirits and crime would rise even more, chaos and anarchy would ensue and Joker would won.
Why does the YT edit sometimes come out before the full patreon video? Does it just take longer sometimes for the full thing to upload cause I feel like this has happened once before and I was really confused like did i miss a Pateron upload or something?
This is definitely my favorite live action Batman film. Heath Ledger's performance was just so exquisite.
23:45 considering the track record of the joker, it’s safe to assume that those were indeed the detonators for THEIR OWN bombs.
Think about it - if the criminals blow themselves up, then society would think that the civilians blew them up and society would shun them causing divides.
If the civilians blew themselves up, who would believe the criminals boat they they DIDNT actually kill the civilians.
It fits perfectly with the jokers methods of creating discord and chaos.
Combined with his established habitual lying etc…
Does anyone know that batman how to get the rooftop of hong kong??
Only show that he how to jump off from the building
My friend worked in the movie set in Chicago for about a month. She was in the set department and she told me the last day of the shooting of "The Dark Knight" everyone gathered for a goodbye dinner. She saw and talked to Heath Ledger but did not have a camera or cellphone to take a picture with him. What a bummer!.
"paralyzed or something" HE GOT FIRED FEW TIMES
The second look at me was an indescribable experience in the theater. That moment of performance is just straight up too real for fiction. Those are sounds that you should never hear in real life unless confronted by a deranged psychopath woth absolutely no reason. Utterly terrifying and very rare thing to see in a summer blockbuster.
I'm with Blue on the ending, I didnt like that Batman chose to take the blame for Harvey's wake of carnage. But I get it. In the public's eye, Harvey is the District Attorney. He is the public figure for law and justice in Gotham. For him to flip and cast the law aside might do some serious damage to the morale of Gotham. Criminals would become even bolder amongst the chaos, good citizens would become more fearful. People can do desperate things when they're afraid. If Batman takes the blame for the crimes, hes already a divisive vigilante in the public eye. He'd become an outcast, but Harvey's reputation would remain, and hes the symbol of the Justice System in Gotham.
Or you know, do the smart thing and blame the killings on the joker? No one is going to believe if the loony denies it
All of Harvey cases would gotten thrown out & the ppl he put away. Released.
@@westfinest20 Again, why not say the joker did it? 1) That would prevent the blame on Harvey, 2 ) No one would believe if Joker denied it and 3) the Joker WAS the mastermind behind turning Harvey and he KNEW Harvey will go after those cops, it was the joker's plan.
It was a secret ruse between Batman & Gordon to keep and to boost Gotham's fragile morale in the future.
@ It also made Batman a more fearsome boogeyman. Rumors starting saying Batman killed the crooked cops that Harvey actually killed would make the criminals even a little more worried cause now "Batman kills"
Man I remember seeing this in theaters when I was a senior in high school. We were all blown away. I was also able to watch them film the truck flip scene as well on Lasalle. Well part of it anyway. If there are any Chicagoans here, they’ll know this route. But my dad was diagnosed with cancer so I took him to his doctor downtown at Northwestern hospital. We were there late. Instead of taking Michigan all the way to congress we took it to Madison and went west to then get on 290 from Racine. Ran into the set on accident. Couldn’t stay long but it was so cool to see.
If you haven't seen Joaquin Phoenix in Joker you should definitely see his spin on the character!!
9:38 , that part where Joker grabs Rachel's face at the party wasn't in the script. Heath Ledger completely went off the script there. When Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel) kept turning away, she was looking over at the director Christopher Nolan waiting for him to say "cut"
This was the first thing I ever saw related to Batman (in terms of movies, cartoons, comics, etc.) I knew almost nothing about Batman and absolutely nothing about the Joker before seeing this movie. The only reason I originally watched this was because I really liked Heath Ledger and he was in it as a villain, which I hadn't seen him do before. With zero prior knowledge of the Joker, Heath Ledger's portrayal fascinated me so much that I HAD to see more of the character. It led me to the Animated Series, the old Batman movies from the 80s, and eventually "Batman Begins" (I hadn't realized "The Dark Knight" was the second part of a trilogy until I was halfway through the Animated Series). Heath's performance was incredible. This will always be THE Joker in my eyes, although I have a lot of fondness for Joker from The Animated Series too. One of my favorite villains of all time. An incredible performance. So glad you enjoyed it, Blue! ✌🤓
Did you ever have like whiplash going from the Nolan films to the more gothic, fantasy, timeless showcase of Batman? My friend was introduced to Batman with these films as well but when he went to play the Arkham Games (I let him play Arkham Knight) he was so freaked out with all the Meta Humans, Depiction of Gotham City, How dark and gothic the setting was along with the timeless setting where Gotham had blimps, retro 1980s police cars, Retro poster, typewriters, and a very Analog meets Digital look and feel. To him this was a massive whiplash from the more Chicago modern day setting of The Dark Knight and the overall lack of fantasy or Sci Fi powers. He just had no idea that this is how Batman is depicted in alot of renditions.
Heath ledger played an outstanding villain.... i only wish that he would have tried to play the joker....
@@thegrayghost2148 Not really? I've never played the Arkham games, so I'm not sure what the difference in the settings are exactly. But of course, when I want from "The Dark Knight" to the animated version I expected it to be less serious and more cartoony, and then when I went to the old 80s movies, I expected a more 80s feel since I've seen tons of 80s movies from my dad's DVD collection since I was a kid. Plus, I saw tons of Marvel movies before I saw this, so I was used to the "normal" characters like Hawkeye and Black Widow being mixed in with Thor and The Hulk. I guess I had enough all-around superhero exposure to adjust okay.
The downside for me was that I was introduced to the Joker as a dark, serious, intelligent force of chaos, so in the first 80s "Batman," I had a harder time adjusting to that version of the Joker. I just couldn't take him seriously as a villain. It felt like they wanted the chaos, but not the intelligence, menace, or darkness, so everything he did was just dumb and silly, without any kind of cohesive strategy behind it. Just... "This seems nonsensical and lawless. Let's do it. For what purpose? Uh... Well... Because chaos!"
Can't find this on patron yet?
Endgame might be the highest grossing superhero movie of all time
But TDK is the ULTIMATE superhero movie
For a little bit of trivia( aka “Weird Shit My Mind Collects And Remembers”), Aaron Eckhart(Harvey/Two Face) was in a movie called “Thank You For Smoking.” In it, he plays a guy who works as a representative for the tobacco industry. A woman he has a relationship is played by Katie Holmes, who played Rachael in Batman Begins.
Its called heroic suffering and noble sacrifice.
It shows the strenght of character of the protagonist and how willing they are to do what is needed for the greater good.
14:28 Wayne manor got burned in the first film so yeah.
14:47 It's not that they don't think, it's actually really planned. IRL when you got a major criminal or someone wanted by everyone you map a route to take that person from court to jail, sometimes is seen sometimes not. In this case everyone knows who they are carryinf. That's why there are no cars around, cause the police blocked all the other routes so no one could interfere, but they didn't count on the joker move.
This is the best sequel in this trilogy.
Very true.
The DVD bonus features include episodes of GOTHAM TONIGHT with the tv anchor. It's revealed there that Batman caught a mobster and tied him to a tree at a school. That guy was the "hostile witness" in the courtroom scene.
About damn time! This movie, Heath’s performance is TREMENDOUS. Truly legendary shit. 🐐🃏🦇
7:45 this video was shown to the other cast members so that they would know how the joker was to be played. It scared the crap out of em all, and that was just the intro for them. Awesome performance, RIP
2 things. Today is the 11 year anniversary of the tragic shooting at a Aurora Co Theater premiere of The Dark Knight Rises.
"May they Rest Is Peace".
Secondly, Every year I watch The Dark Knight on New Year's Eve, so at Midnight The Joker says "And Here We Go"!
The Best Joker Movie
It surpassed the hero. 😂
28:27 "How did he know? How did he know that Harvey had this in him because he definitely didn't show signs of any psychotic behavior"
He was a cop and a state prosecutor
Love how into this movie you are Trixy, always fun watching you. 😊Good reaction!
I agree a lot with you here that the movie has too many convenient at points and kinda doesn't make sense. We never saw how Harvey had any psychological problems, the speech Joker gives him about chaos is kinda nonsense, could have shot him right there, Batman blaming himself for Harvey's death, Gordon's speech, Joker being many steps ahead of everything and barely ever showing us how he was ginna get there, etc. Yeah, the movie has a lot of great stuff but those bits kind of ruined it for me too.
The civilian on the boat who volunteered to press the detonator didn't care about the prisoners. He just didn't want to have all that blood on his hands.
Not gonna lie, there were a lot of doubters when Ledger was announced as Joker. Boy howdy, he made said doubters eat their words. RIP, Heath.
Heath Ledger performance was outstanding. To prepare he locked himself in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices - it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. He landed more in the realm of a psychopath - someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts. He watched movies like a clockwork orange to prepare. He never broke character even when not filming. Batman won’t kill or use guns but won’t hesitate to maim someone
The messed up part about that final Joker trap is how can you be sure that detonator WAS for the other boat, and not the one they were on? After all, blowing yourself up would be the biggest joke of all, and it fits with how this guy thinks.
29:15 “Jesus! Why'd you let him go on like that?” 😂.
Batman needed to ruse Harvey first in order to save Gordon's son.
When I see Gordon pin Joker with the shotgun and reveal himself, I can't help but think of Brian Blessed's immortal line: "GORDON'S ALIVE!!"
I love how batman never believed that they would blow eachother up ❤
Due to blind fate, not 'cause through his scientific intuition.
@
He had faith in his city.
The shotgun banker guy, been doing great movies for 40 years! Armageddon, Blackhawk Down, the cult classic, Go! And many others!
The theater experience for this was out of this world. I’ll never forget it 🦇
Harvey shows a dark side punching the guy in court and his anger w the schizophrenic and to even do that but he doesn’t have the split personality like he should’ve.
Since I just watched your Batman Begins reaction last night - you probably didn't see my glowing post about your reaction. Just starting your Dark Knight adventure but figured I'd repost my Batman Begins post to let people know how amazing you are: I was absolutely blown away by (your Batman Begins) reaction. Loved your opening and excitement about your new set. Not only are you mesmerizing, but your enthusiasm was so infectious and your analysis was spot on. I was particularly impressed by watching your emotional changes that came through more so due to the edits. One second - your beautiful smile. The next second- the most intense look on your face. Your attraction to Scarecrow was also adorable. Cillian Murphy made another movie that same year called Red Eye you would enjoy with Rachel McAdams in which he plays another bad guy. He seems to get an award nomination for everything he's in beginning with his 28 Days Later which was a sequel. He tends to start out in sequels as he was also a Hollywood Critics Award winner for A Quiet Place 2. Of course, in Batman Begins he's in the original, but, unfortunately for you, not the sequel. 😁 He also worked with Christopher Nolan again in Inception. Batman Begins was a game-changer in Super Hero movies. I believe it was a tone-setter for Iron Man and the beginning of the MCU. Not sure if you saw Joker which, to me, is the best performance of all time by Joaquin Phoenix. But Heath Ledger's historic turn as Joker in Dark Knight set the tone for that. BOTH won Oscars. You're so genuine and authentic for such a beautiful girl. Can't wait for your Dark Knight reaction.
This trilogy is so good. Thanks, Blue! FUN!! 😀
Fun fact: In the scene where joker crashes the party, Michael Caine had dialogue as joker entered but that moment was his first time seeing Heath in full joker gear and his appearance left Caine stunned and speechless so when you see the look on his face that’s not him acting…
Btw that truck flip is 100% real. Real truck flipping over with a stunt driver inside.
The hospital explosion is also real. There are some CGI windows but it was a real building that they blew up.
He let go on like that for the characters and in the scene and the story that was happening in the dark Knight with the characters and for drama
Biggest line-up I was ever in was for this show, on the opening Saturday. Post-COVID reserved seating ended all that.
3:59 They’re clapping because Harvey wanted to keep the questioning even though someone had just tried to kill him.
I enjoyed this reaction a lot, your expressions just tell so much about how this movie is meant to come across. However no The Joker never had a wife, he is just insane by DC and more. There is a lot of stuff out there to Joker's character. If some people do the work they will understand a bit more about him and what he goes through. However for now it would be shrouded in darkness due to speculation because of the many adaptations. I am happy you enjoyed the movie and cannot wait to see your next reaction for the Batman movies. Btw RIP Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008) You will always be missed upon your fans
Drilling: there are stud finders that also detect electrical lines
I watched a documentary about Batman. One of the creators said that The Joker is Batman equal. Which is why Batman hasn't killed him, though he's had many opportunities .
The Joker is just as good at what he does as The Batman. Its kinda Shakespearian, Batman won't kill Joker not because of his code but because he knows, killing Joker will send him psychologically to a place he may not want to be.
But who is Bruce/Batman? He never really got help for the trauma as a kid. If Joker is insane, Batman is knocking on that door. They say geniuses aren't far from being insane, that describes Bruce/ Batman perfectly imo. Joker's already insane, which is why he's also a genius. But Joker won't kill Batman either, he's always expressed some crazy need for Batman.
"I think you and I are destined to do this forever." Batman is a punchline to a joke that The Joker never gets tired of hearing. Batman Lore is the best in all of comics, I love it. ❤️
When Harvey is threatening Gordon’s family at the end, his daughter…
…that’s Batgirl.
the lambo dying hit her harder than rachel dying lol
The first Batman you see is usually your favorite forever...Jack Nicholson was my first Joker. But I absolutely loved Heath Ledger in this, he took it somewhere darker...brilliance.
What you said is true. Michael Keaton is best live action Batman but my personal favorite is Val Kilmer cuz Batman Forever was my first Batman movie that I had seen when I was 3 or 4
That’s because it was a different kind of Joker in a different kind of Batman movie
@@wfkerneathat use to be my opinion too when I was a kid, but when I got older I changed my opinion… there’s nobody better than Michael Keaton as Batman
@@nsasupporter7557 yea I know Keaton is a better Batman but I said my personal favorite is Val Kilmer because Batman Forever was my first introduction to Batman
@@wfkernea oh I see
The first cartoon turned live that I vouched.
how high were you watching this?
I'm glad that Joker's origin is a mystery but there are some great fan theories. One theory is that Joker is an Afghan/Iraq war veteran who went AWOL. He was a Green Beret, Navy Seal, or Spec Ops, who became a POW and was tortured. When he was finally released or escape, he became like Rambo. That is how Joker is able to operate with military precision, set up bombs and booby traps, put an IED inside a dude, and use a variety of different guns. Knives are a standard tool given to soldiers. Essentially a default weapon.
Another theory is that Joker is actually Kevin from the Home Alone franchise. His family was on Flight 93 when it was hijacked on 9-11. Kevin broke down mentally and became the opposite of Batman, using his intelligence to create chaos. He tells all these different stories about the scars because he suffers from DID which is caused by traumatic events.
Mos reactors see the disappearing pencil trick and are traumatized. Blue laughs and claps her hands. She's a true gem worthy of our love and respect. That wasn't just some vehicle set on fire, it was a fire trucl. I do hope you watch the Pitch Meetings by Ryan George for these movies, they are hilarious.
This isn't just a trilogy, it has a animated series under the name Gotham Knight that's set between the first and second movie, just like the Matrix trilogy had the Animatrix. It's skippable, but also enjoyable to watch if you have it available, sure, but there are things that are easier to do in comics and anime than in live action.
God, the ARG for this movie was insane. Cell phones given out in bakeries. Voicemail from the Joker. Harvey Dent election material. Citizens For Batman handing out bumper stickers (and later, vigilante masks!). With the end of the game being an invitation to an early screening of the movie. Fun times!
Yeah, I got involved in some of it. I still have one of the masks, a t-shirt, and some of the other swag. They held a nighttime scavenger hunt in New York City, and it was wild running around the streets of Lower Manhattan with a thousand other people searching for each clue.
Can’t wait for you to see the conclusion of the Dark Knight Trilogy.
The Joker to Batman is like Moriarty is to Sherlock Holmes. You can't have one without the other.
Trixy, have you watched the 1989 Batman movies ? and you can watch the tv shows, Batwoman and Gotham Knights, they are set after this movie
Yes, she watched Batman and Batman Returns. If you look on her page her reactions to those movies are on there
From the moment I saw him introduced i always said Heath was born to play the Joker, there will never be another like him may he RIP
i have seen this movie 3 times and it is the first time to me all those times
26:31 - *_THAT is exactly what the story SHOULD have been: This movie is amazingly good and has so few flaws, but if there is one flaw in it I oh so wish I could go back in time and change, it is that whole "This city has shown you how good it is/you are alone" message which really doesn't fit with neither Batman nor the Joker. The Joker (Especially THIS iteration of the joker) absolutely WOULD have given each boat their own detonator and would have laughed with glee as one of them blew itself up, thinking they were going to survive, while the other watched in horror knowing that they came within a hair of blowing themselves up (And it should have been the boat full of "Innocent civilians" that should have blown itself up while the boat of "Hardened Criminals" watched on and gawked at the brilliance and sadistic nature of the Joker._*
*_The rest of the story could have been easily adapted from there on with the Joker showing Batman that all people are indeed corruptible when the chips are down. Batman attacks and throws Joker down the building but then catches him, not wanting to break his rule, and then admonishes the Joker for having proven nothing as "loading the dice" against people does not prove them to be bad players and does not eliminate the good they do (Just as he chose to be good by sparing the Joker) and that people like himself and the people of Gotham would always be their to thwart the Joker an his sadistic plans; and that is when Joker brings up his ace in Harvey and the rest of the movie plays out the same._*
*_THAT would have been an even better ending and a much more proper one that keeps in line with both of their characters. Much Darker, yes. But this movie is called "The DARK Knight" after all!... Missed opportunity!_*
Batman had to take the fall otherwise all the people Dent had arrested would be released. Granted they probably could have just said it was one of Joker's goons who killed Harvey lol. As for the boats bit....just because one boat had criminals, doesn't mean they were all murderers, they could have been thieves, drug dealers, con men so on, they didn't want to kill anyone.
I luved your genuine reaction. Awesome. stay positive and oneluv.
The fact that you did not agree with the final choice made by Batman and Gordon to lie to the public and let Harvey's legacy live on is exactly what Christopher Nolan intended... because the final film of the trilogy, 'The Dark Knight Rises', is about this very lie resurfacing and coming back to haunt them.
It's such a genius structure to a trilogy where the second film becomes a point so low in the story that the third film has to literally UNDO it. No other comic-book film or trilogy will ever come close to touching the philosophical discourse of The Dark Knight Trilogy. A true-blue Cinema Classic.
I remember the NONSENSE Heath got when it was announced that he was casted as the joker. Some only saw him as the pretty boy from Knight's tale. But mostly, it was because he was in Brokeback mountain. The latter reason is really hilarious because that movie was literally the reason why Nolan chose him in the first place. And Heath already broke out of the 'heartthrob' role in brokeback. Was geninuely intimidating when he was fighting and brawling with other ppl (the part where he threatened to punch his ex-wife is still one of the most terrifying scenes i've witnessed) . I was curious to see what Heath would be like as a villain after seeing Brokeback. You can imagine how hyped i was when he was casted as the joker.
And still, nothing could prepare me for how fantastic he was as the joker. Hard to believe he was only in the movie for like 30 mins total. He overshadowed everyone.
R.I.P Heath. Not only was he a great actor, but he aspired to be a film director. And he's a DOPE person in real life. Really down to earth, humble, yet wasn't afraid to take a stand for what was right. Like when he refused to let his own friends make gay jokes. or when he turned down performing at the oscars because of the immature gay joke. He's the one celebrity i'll always mourn
I understand why Gordon and Batman make the choice that they agree to make at the conclusion of The Dark Knight to lie (essentially) in order to preserve an image.
And why Alfred makes the choice that HE does to "withold" the truth, in order to preserve an image as well.
I also absolutely get why it upsets you.
...And those points (Gordon & Batmans lie. Alfreds concealment. AND your/ the audiences deep dissaproval) are all kind of central motivating factors in the finale of the trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises.
"...Rises" is easily the least of the trilogy. Frankly, it's not nearly as concise nor engaging as the first two; with a sadly, less satisfying end to the whole arc than we may have hoped.......
ALL of that being said... It is STILL a GOOD movie!
With a lot of GREAT moments, very cool new (& old) characters, and a "solid" conclusion to the trilogy.
I can't wait for your reaction to it.
😁❤🦇
I'd say you'd be an amazing Harley Quinn for Halloween or Cosplay ❤
Pro tips, the underground car bike bazooka chase scene, was all created sets! The truck flip was a real truck!😮😮😮
I still don’t get why they didn’t just frame the Joker for Harvey’s murders. And for that matter the boat experiment proves that the citizens of of gotham are good people. They don’t need to have a “true hero” to follow, THEY need to step up and be the TRUE HEROES.
Best superhero movie ever. It's a travesty that it wasn't nominated for Best Movie Oscar. Loved your reaction.
Is this reupload?
Loved watching this reaction! :)
Finally a reactor that gets the "what if they blow up their own boat"
Actually no, Blue… the Riddler is the most genius villain, not the Joker
Batman Begins may be a better Batman film from it's tone, depiction of Gotham, deep origin story, and my personal favourite depiction of Bales Batman but Dark Knight is a great Christopher Nolan film and sequal. It does lack alot when it comes to the art direction and tone, Gotham basically looks like Chicago and Batman himself in terms of outfit is much more tame, Skinny Ninja look. So it did loss alot of the personality of the first film but Dark Knight is still great.
Is it the best Batman film? Personally no it's a great film, has a great story and writing but it falls flat on many elements that for me make a film a great Batman movie. The Batman, Batman 89, Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Begins, Under the Red Hood, Batman Year One these are better Batman movies nailing the tone, setting of Gotham, and depiction of The Batman while Dark Knight is a great Christopher Nolan with Batman in it. He tried to ground the world of Batman far too much in these sequels to the point that it lost so much of the personality from the comics. Man of Steel suffers from this as well for me but not as much. So this always felt more like a Crime Action Movie with Batman in it going after the Joker in Chicago.
I personally just never got why someone would want to treat the DC universe like our own world when it's not. DC has it's own history, cities, nations, and famous people. Gotham shouldn't be a stand in for any American city but Gotham City. Same with Metropolis as well. So it is a pain to see people treat Gotham as Chicago or New York.
But overall I'm glad you enjoy this film, hopefully you check out the Animated Batman stuff they're amazing and peak Batman.
Wow I thought I was the only person who felt this way. I LOVED Batman Begins, so I had very high expectations for The Dark Knight. But I initially hated TDK upon my first viewing. Everyone was like: "You're crazy. It's an amazing movie." It took me a second viewing to love it. I had to learn to like it for what it was, and not what I wanted it to be. Everything that it was lacking (art direction, Gotham looking like Chicago, lack of focus on Batman's journey, etc) had bothered me so much, but I had to learn to appreciate it for being more of a film noir rather than another superhero story.
Congrats on your opinion
@@GeorgeTropicana A little fight in yah? I like that. 🃏
No way this is the 1st time you’ve seen this.
I am so glad you've really enjoyed The Dark Knight can't wait to see you watch The Dark Knight Rises. You are so magnificent.
I love how much you enjoyed this rewatch.
Yeah, didn't really seem like a first time viewing. Sure, it's possible to have seen clips of the film earlier, but let's be real here.
Would be nice if the folks making these kinds of videos didn't feel the need to pretend they're seeing something for the first time.
Batman doesn’t do guns…unless they’re on his batmobile 😂😂
The name to remember here is Christopher Nolan... one of the best directors of the last 20 years.
