Wish I could rewatch The Dark Knight for the first time
Same!
Jason Dermack same. Remember watching it 12 years ago at the cinema, I was so excited and so hyped
just finished watching this for the first time, amazing
I watched this movie in theaters when I was 8.. still my favorite movie to this day. Everytime I watch it brings me back to being an 8 year old kid witnessing greatness
@@BamBam-3886 walking out of the theatre tunnel to the ending song and the speech made me feel like I could run through a brick wall
Hard to believe this is this guy's first time watching this movie
Watching that in the theaters....that was an experience.
Favorite line in the movie, "Look at you go!"
Fun Fact: Bruce Wayne's car (that he sacrifices to save Coleman Reese) in this film is a Lamborghini Murciélago. *Murciélago is Spanish for "Bat".* Lamborghini's naming schemes for their cars are usually taken from famous Spanish fighting bulls. In this case the Murciélago was a bull that was so fearsome and strong it survived 28 sword strokes from the matador who spared the bull which was eventually given to Mr Miura (a famous breeder of fighting bulls).
To this day this is still my favorite movie of all time tied with Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4). Heath's Joker is by far the best movie villain I've ever seen and the smartest, nobody could compare and how realistic he felt. This was the perfect Batman movie and Batman villain. Party scene, Alfred had a line but upon seeing Heath's Joker first viewing, he was so stunned to even speak and when Heath had the blade up to Rachel's face improving it, she tried to look to the director as you could see to CUT but the director didn't because Heath's Joker was so good.
American joker: It's simple we kill the batman
Hong Kong joker: It simple we eat the batman.
9:02 Batman doesn't kill people. That's his "one rule". That's why he wouldn't execute the criminal in Batman Begins. He more or less just assists law enforcement, in apprehending criminals in ways they aren't allowed to.
I just realized the inspiration of the joker in this movie comes from "V" from V for vendetta, (the white masked mad man/terroist with a huge grin/smile and a dark trench-coat type outfit) especially the part where he dresses up the hostages as the criminals. Both heath ledgers joker and "V" are symbols in the movie, giving them power beyond any man.
this gotta be the best job, your just only watching a movie while recording ur reactions, it gotta be the funnest job too
Note, I worked just a couple of blocks away from the building that doubled as Gotham Back (it's a huge building that was Chicago's main post office) I was on my lunch break and watched the scene with the school bus leaving the bank being filmed.
I’m so happy they recast Rachel. The actress from the first movie definitely couldn’t pull off this Rachel. She was so annoying in the first film, but in this one I get why Bruce likes her.
5:19 that movie is Blood and Bone with Michael Jai White
1 Month late 😅
Joker is freaking legend
This joker :- badass
New joker :- true and emotional

This movie is probably my favorite Batman movie of all time. Such a great movie
This was filmed in Chicago and I remember walking around some of the Movie sets when they were here filming it. Seeing the Batmobile parked downtown near the set was mind blowing. They had to patch some of the damage that they did on Lower Wacker Drive with the garbage truck and other things.
The hospital being blown up in that scene was an actual building slated for demolition here and as others have said, they only got one take of it. They didn't know there was a delay, so they kept the cameras rolling just in case since the couldn't miss getting the shot if it went off. Heath Ledger was an amazing actor and completely improvised that part as he genuinely thought there was something wrong with the remote. It was so good they kept that part in instead of cutting it.
In fact, he went to crazy preparing for this role that he kept a journal of just how hard the toll was on him to descend into the madness that is the Joker. The role literally ended up killing him due to him overdosing in his apartment. I would have loved to see him continue on in the role for at least another movie, but in reading his writings and what he had told people before his death about the role, I'm not sure if his mind would have taken it. Still, he was a genius actor and his contribution to the art will be missed. Who knows how many more amazing performances he could have graced the world with in his future.
He didnt improvise the hospital scene. it was planned so they could get ledger out of danger for the second shot.
@@morbiusfacebooklive I was about to write a rebuttal, but upon checking further into this, I can confirm that you are indeed correct and the entire sequence was planned out, perhaps albeit with Ledger's extra pantomiming of the fiddling with the detonator a reason that makes the myth so believable. Thank you for the correction! :)
@@YSongCloud no problem! Glad i could clear things up!
Someone count the amount of times he said Man in this video
The badass movie where Michael Jai White beats up people in prison is Blood & Bone. That guy's a legit MMA practitioner and the Tae Kwon Do in that movie was pretty good.
“They actually killed the bitch” is when the video got a thumbs down and a “Do not recommend channel again”
Gotta love that Tiki Punch!
That badass movie in prison is Blood and Bone, such a good one. Dude's name is Michael Jay White
My favorite movie of all time and I’m not even crazy about superhero movies
what rock did you live under that you are watching this movie for the first time?
Ay I respect that logic beat in the background
This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I wish I could go back and watch it for the first time again.
this man has seen no movies
Right???!!!!
Greatest joker of all time period
I’m sorry but I really don’t get what people see in this movie. Wish I could see it as well but I just don’t like these movies. I LOVE Heath ledgers joker though, always have. Christian Bales Batman tho just isn’t for me, his voice mainly.
I get hardcore Groovymac vibes from this dude
First time. 2020. Holy shitballs.😐😐
Is that negans bat in the background
Love this one out of all 3 the joker fuck what a performance
Shasta tiki smacks
Greatest Batman movie of all-time. Twilight boy or any actor (in my life time) will never top this.
Harvey Dent would have been a badass Mayor.
the plan is, joker will appear in 3rd movie but Heath Ledger (Joker's actor) passed away before this movie was release, anyway he's the best Joker so far
its debatable since joaquin phoenix won a oscar too for playing the same role
Jack Nicholson is often overlooked tbh. His Joker was fantastic.
@@ramoncarter3121 I agree it is debatable... and I will accept either as legitimate... love them both... but I prefer Heath Ledger... tho for me the ultimate Joker isn't live action at all... When I hear Joker I think Mark Hamill
@@ramoncarter3121 Health also won the oscar for the Joker...
Don't forget the OG Joker Cesar Romero.
Heath Ledger passed away before the Dark Knight was released. That's why his appearance stopped there. No way could anyone match that performance.
@Superpiair1 Heath ledgers character could not have been recast. Nobody would be able to live up to his character and his performance. That’s why they didn’t. In another franchise, sure. What you said applies if we’re talking about a totally different joker, like in joker 2019.
@@jmcman6104 The person you are replying to never mentioned a recast.
They never recast because they didn't need to. Recast for what movie exactly? They didn't because The Joker was over unless you got it into your head that he was supposed to be in the 3rd movie; He wasn't.
His timely passing also accounts for why this film is so overhyped and overrated...
@@kayokango Lmao stop it. You didn’t like it, nobody cares. The large majority of us did...not overhyped.
@@BucksPackersBrewers As time has gone on more and more people are admitting that The Dark Knight is one of the most overrated films ever made.
I remember when this reaction came out on ur OG channel...memories
*sigh
@@ItsAPrimatee the ending fan reaction in the theaters at the time in 2008 was awesome when the dark knight title came up and when gordon said it....everyone went crazy applauding cheering whistling ...dark knight really is a top 2-3 film made in the 2000-2010's decade...the only theater experience i had similarly that came close was after titanic ever but that was more tearful then cheerful...its unique...
@Heidrosign the video u are watching is his first time reaction. He had an old channel which got deleted because of copyright so he reuploaded his videos
@@TheArkhamChronicle When did that happen?
@@yeshayah4443 ages ago now
That shot of Heath Ledgers’ Joker leaving the exploding hospital is honestly one of the best movie scenes of all time.
I remember seeing it for the first time in theatres and being blown away (pun intended)
No matter how many times I see it, I’m still blown away by the cinematography and performance.
Ledger didn't know that there was going to be a pause/delay in the explosions, and he stayed in-character in reacting to it. They only had one take at it, so I'm sure if Ledger broke character there would have been a little cut from the first explosion to the bus leaving.
@@alexkramerblogs this is unfortunately a myth.
Heath did in fact know there would be a pause in the explosion and they rehearsed it many times. the shot cost an insane amount of money and blowing up and actual hospital. they would never leave that totally to chance.
What is slightly improv is his reaction but he knew ahead of time about the delay so its semi-improv.
@@FlashAsh Thanks for the correction!
ok but how did the bus he got onto not see him?
Asmosis Jones
Believe it or not the Joker's a criminal, it wasn't a public bus :P
It's so interesting seeing how Nolan portrayed Batman as opposed to Snyder. This was a brilliant movie. It was filled with nuance and grit and suspense, all while remaining true to the character. There were a lot of really great comic book movies lately, but this transcended the genre. This was just a really great movie!
When he blows up the hospital, that was actually a hospital being blown up so there was only one take. The bomb had a delay and they didn’t know, so Heath Ledger improved the scene with him fiddling with the controller. A true genius
they did know there was a delay. thats a myth that got started.
they rehearsed it and Heath knew about the delay. the reaction to said delay is only slightly improv.
The AsTrollmech so the bombs some heard in Chicago was an actual hospital
No, it's was in reality an old abanoned candy factory that they blew up, not a hospital. Watch the behind the scenes.
It was not improvised by heath ledger
Its a myth
That’s a movie myth, never happened
hE dOeSn'T rEmEmBeR wAtChInG iT
bEfOrE?!?!?!?!?!
I love that if you look close, the ad on the side of Joker's semi says "Laughter Is The Best Medicine" .... but he's spray painted an "S" to make it "SLaughter Is The Best Medicine".
The thing that makes Batman's villains so great is that they are all darker reflections of Bruce in some way: Batman & Joker are about order & chaos, Scarecrow is about fear, Catwoman is about vigilantism, Penguin is about being rich, Bane is about inner strength, etc etc.....
Also, Joker was going to be in the third movie, but when Heath Ledger tragically passed, they gave some of his plot elements to Catwoman.
Philip Seymour Hoffmann would have made a great Penguin
@@biguy617 RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was funny in Twister, the best villain in the best Mission: Impossible movie (MI3 is my fave anyway), among other roles. He was a great, talented actor, sad to lose him so soon.
I remember the first time I saw this movie in theaters. Right as the Joker blew up the hospital, we got hit with a 5.8 earthquake. At first I thought the rumbling was reverb from the explosions through the theater speakers ........
Now that's spoopy
Lmaoo
Cool cinema effect a?
That’s what you call the 4D experience
IMAX?
@11:42 "Bro they actually killed the bitch" 😭😭😭 My same reaction
The fact that you said ''Gordon's alive" the way you did presumably without realising the reference make me laugh
Heath Ledger Joker!!!!!! May he Rest In Peace...... :(
I know I’ve seen all these reactions already but I’m still rewatching em 🤣
Thanks man!
Heath ledger was by far the greatest joker. His acting was incredible and made you fear his role! He would have gone on to do huge movies🙏 R. I. P
When you said ‘bro they actually killed the bitch’ I spit my whole damn mouthful of drink out 😂😂😂
Best villain of all time.
My favorite out of the trilogy!
My head literally exploded when I saw this movie. Best. Leo.
4:30 "I don't know if I trust that dude. I kinda do, but I'm kinda eh."
You could almost say that whether or not you could trust him is a 50/50 split. Like flipping a coin...
13:24 RIP Tiny Liston
This better be the best reaction video I've ever seen in my life
Was it
Can we get this the most viewed video on the channel Again maybe
Please
Everytime I watch this movie I cant help but notice that it may be an allegory about the post 9/11 Iraq war on terror and kinda takes a pro Bush stance with the whole Not the hero we need but the hero we deserve. Joker obviously being a terrorist threat and Batman's use of the cell phone surveillance system being the immoral response to that indicating the ends justify the means. So Bush and Homeland defense can send someone to GB without trial and waterboard them because joker is a fanatic and will not stop. And we think Bushman is the villain but hes actually the republican hero we deserve?
I know its fucked up but I guess i watched this after the news one day and was just "What the fuck?" because everything just clicked. Regardless Im not even from the states and only Nolan would know so this is just an observation based on politics way back then. So before any red state friends from down south decide to roast me, Im just an outside observer calling it like i see it. It may tota;;y be coincidence and no political msg was intended.
I wish the last 2 movies both dealt with the Joker sadly it’s only The Dark Knight.🥺 RIP Heath Ledger.💔❤️
A literal perfect superhero film, and an almost flawless film in general. My favorite film of all time.
12:47 to 12:52 apparently wasn't scripted xD I read that somewhere. Heath was like: "why isn't this second detonator going off?". But did that shit in character xD
And they decided to leave it in
tis a myth sorry to say.
Heath knew about the delay as it was planned. The reaction is sort of improv because no1 knew how he would act through that explosion delay.
"This town deserve better class of criminals " the best line eveeeer 💙
I truly feel sorry for ppl who watched this movie for the first time on the small screen. This masterpiece is truly to be enjoyed in the theatres and I was so glad to catch it back in July 2008
Born that exact month and year
They gave Heath Ledger the Oscar Posthumously for his Performance some people say he got it cause people felt away because he died. I hate that because his performance in this movies is The Best Joker EVER in any form and he received what he deserved, Bottom Line
I’m sorry but no. No way in hell is this guy a movie lover and hasn’t seen the dark knight prior to this video. I won’t ever believe that idc what he says. It’s a lie he did this just for the views.
11:36
Rachel: Some-
Me: *BODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME-*
You should see Mark Hamill’s Joker in the animated film, Mask of the Phantasm.
"Gordon's Alive!"
me: Flash, aaaaaaaaaaahhhh. Savior of the universe
*Strums guitar*
Damn. I thought I was the first one to notice this.
You must be old like me.
Batman kinda burnt down the League of Shadows with several men still inside.
Please react to some gangster movies like The Irishman, Goodfellas or American Gangster
"Since when does Batman use guns?"
*(laughs in Thomas Wayne)*
The scene where the guy tries to shoot harvey in the court room is probably a reference too a comic where a guy threw acid in harveys face, turning him into two face.
They spent a lot of time on the car and motorcycle, maybe not much on his mask. 2 from this bring 2 others right to mind. Oldman was in "True Romance", not sure if you saw that one. Just great with a lot of others. Batman, Christian Bale, was in one called, "The Machinist" which was very different, but good in a lot of ways...
Sucks that everyone can talk about how great the movie is but no one really talks about the MUSIC!
If it wasn't for Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard making the music, the movies wouldn't even be what they were!
Yes, I'm a bit of a music nerd here.
I’m a nerd ig cause I know what u mean, amazing music 😄
@@Jerfect I have a huge Hans Zimmer problem lol
5:11 I believe the movie you're referring to is "Blood and Bone"
"The Joker just wants chaos." Actually there's overarching themes to each of the movies in the Nolan Trilogy.
The theme of Batman Begins was Fear.
The theme of The Dark Knight Rises was Pain.
The theme of The Dark Knight was, as you aptly noticed, Chaos.
The rare movie experience in which you forget you’re watching a movie. This has only ever happened to me twice. The Empire Strikes Back and The Dark Knight.
There was a lot of Bait and switch in this movie and not just by The Joker but when Joker told Batman Rachel's location but it was Harvey's it was probably the most heartbreaking considering Bruce and Rachel's history.
In case no-one's mentioned it Rachel was played by a different actress Katie Holmes was to busy with others projects to reprise her role
Joker is definitely the best villain. When the remote to blow the hospital stops working, that was real and they kept it in.
Heath told christian to actually hit him during the interrogation scene when he slammed his face on the glass and punched him that shit was real
Did y’all know that they actually blew up a building for the hospital scene? They had to get all that in one take. It was a different building that was being destroyed to remake some new building but it’s such a good scene.
Saw this in theaters. This is my favorite movie of all time!
Fun fact: Christian Bale got special permission to stand on the upper setback of The Sears(Not Willis) Tower in Chicago where most of the Movie was Filmed
He was 1,200 feet up
Also has one hell of an observation deck
Heath ledger what a legend he just ripped out all scenes from Christian bail he actually made me like joker more than batman Rest in peace
10:53 There's really only ONE missed opportunity in the editing of your video, Primate. But I'm not sure you even know about the meme. Ever watched the 1980 Flash Gordan movie? Well BRIAN BLESSED (all caps required!) is playing the Hawkman leader Vultan. And one of his signature lines was "GORDAN'S ALIVE!" (And Blessed drops it to this day whenever he has the chance! :D ) And I thought - if only Primate had inserted that 2 second clip RIGHT THERE it would've made it HILARIOUS. But then again - that might not have fit the tone. But I'm weird like that, so that's what I thought of when watching. :D
Look, I *like* "Dark Knight Rises". Its a really, really good movie... but it doesn't hold a candle to "The Dark Knight". I think Heath Ledgers Death really crippled this trilogy, forcing its final part to revert back to the story of the first movie instead of continuing what was begun in TDK. A third Movie with Ledger returning as the Joker would have been absolutely amazing.
Nothing beats TDK. No batman movie. Nothing. No The Batman didn't beat it. TDK is too iconic. Filmed and written to well. And acted to perfection. And like a little action mixed in with no cgi? Well it has my favorite chase scene ever.
When that Bat bike popped out, if you didn't get chills, you're nor human. Plus Ledgers acting during the entire chase. Just perfection. Ashame you didn't show more of it. The wheel turning sideways and then the suspension dropping and he goes underneath the truck to flip it
Fun fact: The video Joker shoots of the copycat vigilante (The "LOOK AT ME!" video)? Ledger took full control and directed that scene himself. That extra had to be legit terrified.
Def Heath Ledger is the best Joker, with Mark Hamill and the guy from the Gotham series tied for 2nd and finally Jack Nicholson 3rd. I believe Jack Nicholson has the ability to be better but they made the 89 movie too Adam West Campy.
10:55 Who said it better? Vote now 🗳

Don’t remember if I said this already but Maggie gyllenhaal (rachel) is the sister to actor jake gyllenhaal (from broke back mountain) so in one movie Heath ledger makes out with Jake then in this movie blows up his sister 😅🤣
Heath Ledger as Joker will always be my favourite.. he didn't get much scenes in this though
Does this movie remind anyone of the amazing Spider-Man 2? Because Rachel broke up with Bruce and then died like spider man and Qwen
Watching how excited you were for Joker in future movies re-broke my heart. I cried watching The Dark Knight knowing Heath Ledger was gone, and that this was the only time we'd see his Joker. He was freakin' phenomenal.
Heath Ledge died before Dark knight Rises was filmed, Won the Oscar that year, his family represented him at the Academy Awards.
Katie Holmes wasn't available to portray Rachel for this film, so they recast it with Maggie Gyllenhall instead.
This role literally killed Heath. He got so deep that he ended up dying of an OD trying to keep himself sleep deprived.
You cut out Two face’s death...
