Heath would be absolutely destroying it out there if he was still alive.

[RatedAwesome]

Actually, I think the quality of Heaths acting elevated Bales performance as well. They both did in an excellent job in this film.

[Nirotix]

Bale also throws himself into a role, so for him to feel out acted, is a serious compliment. Bale works his ass off!

[adamrees]

After all these years, nobody has come close to Heath's joker. Once in a lifetime performance. Rip Heath

[kidsaiha]

I can't even imagine what masterpieces they would have been able to make if Heath Ledger was still alive.

[toddvandell]

Left out the best part of that Joker line:
"I don't want to kill you.
What would I do without you?
You complete me."

[Jean_Pierre_Wehry]

Crazy that Heath Ledger was only 27 when he played the Joker and 28 when he died. His acting skills for someone in their 20's was next level. RIP legend.

[jherbranson]

I actually deeply appreciate the way Bale allowed Ledger to over shadow him, and the way he made Wayne become disoriented and small at moments. It was needed and Bale continued to kill it and was incredible in the end and throughout.

Christian Bale as Batman too. Amazing. He always gives 110% into his characters

[ALLDAY-ttqw]

Heather ledger as the joker was hands down the greatest acting performance I've ever seen. Amazing

[benjamincissell]

Nobody can tell me this isn’t THE Batman movie. One of the greatest movies of all time

[bdpyne]

It’s a testament to Christian Bale’s skill and confidence that he heaps praise on Heath and admits to nervousness working with him.

RIP Heath Ledger
(1979-2008)

Gone too soon but never forgotten as a legend

[JavierGonzalez-lpke]

Heath earned his Oscar and owned that role; my gut feeling was that no other acting performance would ever top how Heath portrayed The Joker in T.D.K.

[BrotherPatriot]

Rest in peace, Heath...we all miss you.

No one...will ever...do the Joker better.

[c.a.marsupial.]

When Christian Bale gives you a complement like that you don't need any other compliment for the rest of your life because he's a genius actor.

[ryanhammonds]

During filming heath wanted bale to actually hit him to make the scene real when they were in the interrogation room. Shows his commitment to the role.

[thepurpleelephant]

Imagine Christian Bale, one of the greatest actors of all time, saying this about you. RIP Heath

Legends never die… Mr. Heath ledger would be 44 years old this year in 2023 rest in peace ❤❤❤❤
