Fun fact. When Heath Ledger said that line almost the entire film crew on set started to laugh so hard that production had to be interrupted for at least half an hour. Nolan immediately recognized what caused the conniption, took Heath aside and told him that he was only supposed to mouth the line so they could add it back in in post.
I've heard that Ledger won his oscar not because he died, but because he managed to say "Hello beautiful" while looking straight at Maggie.
Matthew Morgan
What are some fan films that outdo their source material?
Sebastian Brown
Every time I watch behind the scenes footage, everyone is always laughing or crying all the time. I kind of understand why those actors like Christian Bale act so serious all the time. There are few professionals in the business.
Michael Allen
>hello beautiful
he really was insane
Jack King
fully deserved
Jonathan Carter
The blooper real is great. The part where Heath suggests to change the line to:
"Hello not entirely hideous person" is gold
Christian Flores
that's the only one, 'baby'.
Adam Smith
Nolan actually included that line to exemplify how much of a madman the Joker actually was.
Charles Davis
I'd rather fuck jake than her
Oliver Wood
My favorite part is when Heath is holding the prop knife next to her face, and instead of making his entrance Bale just shouts "Just do it, it can't get worse anyway!" in the background
Charles Carter
The joker has to be the most overrated villain ever. His entire motivation and character is literally just 'dude I'm crazy lmao' and 'dude I'm an idea lmao'

This post made me cringe so fucking hard
Jonathan Gomez
It's interesting how all the behind the scenes bantering actually influenced the script. In the original draft after Batman beats the joker into telling him where Dent and Rachel are, Batman actually rescues Rachel.
However whilst making the film everyone realised that this made no sense, and so in the film Maggie is left to die whilst Dent is saved
Hunter Brooks
Another fun fact. On the day of shooting when the scene designer was asked to get Heath out of his trailer to replace his stand-in for the lighting check-ups on set she accidentally brought Maggie Gyllenhaal instead. Apparently the crew wasn't entirely sure which one of the two actors was supposed to play the Joker. That confusion actually lead to rumors about TDK when some people assumd that Heath Ledger was actually playing The Riddler because Maggie would have been such a great fit for the joker.

Yeah, in a twist from the comics, Rachel was supposed to become Two-Face. But since the make-up artists couldn't do something that didn't improve her natural look, they decided to just go the expected route.
Sebastian Peterson
>Why hello... you!
Austin Fisher
Nolan talked about this in the extended commentary. A frustrated make-up artist came to him one day and complained that it was impossible for him to actually fuck up one part of her face. Even the most hideous masks he tried weren't as terrible as her original face.
Landon Martinez
What makes this even more interesting is that the producers of Hellboy 2 actually got into a bidding war to hire Maggie as both had similar shooting schedules and del Toro wanted Maggie to save on monster make up costs, only for Nolan to turn around and decide not to use make up on her!
Kayden Martin

Rachel's infamous last words in The Dark Knight were "Harvey it's alright, listen. Some" before she was blown up by the explosive gas drums. Those were not Rachel's last words but Maggie's interpretation of the character of Rachel. What she was actually trying to do was sing All Stars by Smash Mouth. Nolan cut her short in the editing room.
Robert Williams
yes, you can clearly hear that she was trying to sing
"listen. Some-Body once told me joker's gonna blow me, I ain't gonna make it out of this shed"
Grayson Hall
The 2005 film "Brokeback Mountain" was originally planned to be a hetero-romance story starring Heath Ledger and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Ever the professional Heath decided to spend some time getting to know Maggie to try and create some form of chemistry which could be used on screen, due to a natural attraction obviously being impossible. However upon meeting the Gylenhall family, Heath came to the realisation that the story made no sense when her brother Jake was far more attractive, and thus lobbied to have the film changed to a homosexual-romance so he wouldn't have to kiss Maggie. This caused a great rift between the two actors and many crew members on the set of "The Dark Knight" noticed there was still tension between them even 3 years later. The line "hello beautiful" was actually a very cruel adlib on the part of Heath.

Maggie has nice thighs.

In a recent interview with James Spader, Spader stated that his work on the 2002 film "Secretary" was the lowest point in his career, and tested his acting abilities to the extreme. Not only did the actor have to pretend he was merely attracted to Maggie Gylenhaal, but indeed that he had a full blown sexual arousal. Spader blew many of his shots, resulting in many retakes and wasted time due to being unable to see past Maggie's appearance. The solution that director Shainberg eventually settled on was using an attractive runner in place of Maggie during the films many Sado-masochistic scenes, and through clever angles and movie-magic trickery made it appear that it was indeed Maggie.
Nathan Phillips

You weren't around when Chole posting was a daily occurrence, both pre and post puberty. Now that was/is some merciless shit.
Anthony Nelson
There was much confusion on the set of the 2010 classic family film "Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang" when Maggie Gylenhaal arrived on the set but appeared to be playing a character other than the unfortunately faced titular character. The make-up team simply could not understand why they had to spend so much time and money using prosthetics to make the comparitively gorgeous actress Emma Thompson into McPhee when Maggie was right there on the set with no additional work needed. Eventually it was revealled that Gylenhaal had dirt on director Susanna White and was blackmailing the director into giving her the role.

I would gladly have sex with Magaggie Gyllenhaal. Even if she does have pancake tits and face of a undead dog.

I can't stand it when retards like you continue the mistaken belief that The Joker is insane.
HE IS NOT. THAT'S THE POINT.
The reason why The Joker is Batman's greatest enemy is because The Joker is using the EXACT SAME METHODS as Batman. He's pretending to be an insane criminal to mask the fact that he's a schemer and master strategist.
When Bruce Wayne first began, he failed miserably as an anonymous crimefighter because he was just a man fighting crime. The same skills, ... but the criminals were always confidant they could take him on: he was just another man. So he created the "Bat-man". Suddenly, criminals were scared of what he could do. Many in Gotham honestly believe Batman isn't HUMAN. Others believe that no matter what you do, Batman has a weapon/strategy to stop you. GODMODE VIA PREPTIME. That's how well Bruce Wayne has pulled off the "Batman" concept. Through theatrics and misdirection, Batman cannot truly be predicted.
The Joker does exactly the same. By *pretending* to be insane and commiting ridiculous acts at any random interval, The Joker is *disguising* the fact that he's just another clever criminal. Every step of his plan has been carefully planned through the ingenuity of a Chess Grand Master, but he covers it with seemingly insane moments of random madness. The clothes, the behaviour, the sheer unpredictability... "You cannot predict what The Joker will do". YES YOU CAN. That's why Batman always beats him.
This is why they are arch enemies. The Joker is aware of Batman's methods and works to outmanuever him. Batman also studies The Joker's actions and recognises which were feints and distractions, and which were clues to his REAL plan. A master strategist hero and master strategist villain, using the same methods of misdirection and theatricality to succeed.
...but no, people are all "Joker is Batman's opposite because he's truly insane, and a force of chaos lol".
No. Just... no.

Josiah Sanders
oh come on, they didn't actually say that did they? That's messed up. It isn't Maggie's fault that she isn't the hottest woman around. I don't believe Heath or Bale said either of those things. You guys need to post proof
Noah Campbell
Is Christian Bale related to Jesus?
Carson Thomas
it also depends on the role.
If you are playing a particularly dark or crazy character that wouldn't normally laugh it's extremely hard to go completely in and out of character between takes and burst out laughing. You naturally keep that same sort of demeanour since you have to get in that headspace to a degree.
A good example is Kramer., he barely ever laughs because what he find hilarious he as a character has to react as if it's normal. If you watch the bloopers you can see Michaels can't just break character to laugh easily
Sebastian Long
Nolan wouldn't actually let Maggie wear any makeup of any kind on the set when filming The Dark Knight. This is because the Jokers makeup was based on Maggie's normal day-to-day makeup, and allowing Maggie to wear her makeup Nolan feared it would make Heath's character much less intimidating.
Henry Davis
Are there any stories that direct address this. The only incarnations I've ever seen of the joker is just "gangster in a purple suit with make up" or "lol Im random"
Alexander Sanchez
>the was Drew Russel "The Joker Baby" manhandles that girl on stage
Fun fact: She wasn't part of his act and he grabbed her from the audience and went with it. The way you see how scared she is, it's because she is legit frightened by him. Drew just got into character and made it all entirely up.
Jose Ramirez
To be fair to didnt exactly her case by going all in with Hillary
Jordan Nguyen
I only agree with this in regards to ledger in particular and other jokers that are treated with the similar level of respect, some of them like the animated series one are obviously simply insane

Fun Fact: Eric Roberts showed up to the set uninvited. He had allegedly paid off the actor playing the role he wanted, and Nolan had no choice but to include him in the movie. He was unpaid for the role, and continues to pay the hired actor his share of the movie's profits.

Wyatt Taylor
>Hamill Joker >not a blatant schemer
He makes elaborate death traps and schemes to kill Batman almost every episode. His "lolrandom" factor is in the fact that he has no restraints.
Bane won't kill women and children for instance, Selina only steals from the rich, Two Face....flips a coin? Joker just doesn't give a fuck
Juan Butler
nah, the joker is officially just ass blasted his wife died and can't get over it. hes a cry baby psychopath that wants his own way. he is really smart tho

I do find her attractive, i swear. Not a 8/10 at all but attractive in her own way.

how is it possible the same genes create Maggie and Jake?
Camden Bennett
Straight from the commentary track on the director's cut. Nolan said:
>"After Katie left the franchise in Batman Begins, we actually thought of changing out the love interest for Bruce. Talia was talked about at the time as well as Vicki Vale, but we figured that Katie is such an attractive person that audiences may be immediately confused if she was suddenly replaced by a cute blonde... or another bombshell brunette. So ultimately we got Maggie in and just recast the role. In a movie with such grotesque villains like The Joker and Two Face who all have this hideous make up done on them it just sort of made sense that we keep our visual aesthetic consistent. I think [laughs] that we may have gotten a bit carried away with the notion sometimes... for example at the party, when Joker is holding Maggie out a window... we ended up having to change Bruce's line from "just drop her already" to "let her go"... we still got away with dropping Maggie out a window though. Which was always going to be fun!"
Brutality.

Really? I heard he was only on set as Maggie's stunt double and when the original actor for his role ended up having an IMAX camera dropped on his head (????) they just took Eric and filled the role with him instead.

Maggie reportedly lobbied Zack Snyder for a role in Batmans vs Superman when the script was being worked on and casting had not yet begun. She cited her acting experience as a 'beautiful heroine in the Nolan Batman flicks' as the chief reason for Snyder to cast her as the new Batman's love interest. However, when Zack refused, Maggie allegedly kept insisting with increasing intensity, to the point where Snyder received calls from the actress at three in the morning. He even found her camping outside his Malibu penthouse one morning, after being alerted by his startled housemaid, who thought that Maggie was a homeless drug addict. Eventually, it got to the point where Snyder could not work on his script efficiently, had to rush casting in order to shut Maggie out for good, and developped a severe depression and paranoia. It has been widely rumoured that Batman vs Superman's subpar quality can be attributed to Maggie's detrimentary effect on Zack Snyder.

Fun Fact:
Drew Russell was originally going to play The Joker from his Joker Performance audition. However, Heath Ledger started going on rants and even started threating Drew Russell. In the end, being the good guy Drew is, he gave the role to Ledger, despite being Drew's breakout role. That's not to say he didn't get his revenge on Ledger later on.
Lincoln Diaz
Memes aside he was legitimately good in TDK and could have played Two-Face as well.
Elijah Hernandez
But you are forgetting the two most important parts of the Joker thst people always fuck up.
1. He needs to tell jokes. 2. He needs to laugh like an idiot.
The best jokers always have more than this, but it's not really the Joker without them.
Also, the jokes don't even need to be funny, just the Joker needs to think they are. Edgy Joker a shit.
