I feel that one of the most underrated things about Heath’s performance is his physical acting. He’s so animated. Like the way he mocks his own goon or how fluidly he gets up from the truck. It’s in a lot of other scenes too, like in his fight scenes or during the initial bank robbery. He moves like he’s straight out of a comic book which is very fitting for the character.

The way he just WANTS Batman to actually hit him and break his code still gives me chills

[robZzdaboss]

I love how he comes out of the truck after being flipped, dizzy shooting accidentally lol 3:25

[juangabrielcabardo]

“Excuse me, i wanna drive” still gets me to this day

[souravpadhan]

It's So Perfect.. He Dies He Wins, He Lives He Continues His Plan..

[jamespratt]

That last “HIT ME” by Heath is absolutely ICE COLD, legendary acting.

[Axel]

“Hit me, HIT ME!” Even after all these years, and even after Joker, Ledger’s radical reinterpreation of the role is still remembered.

[McKraber]

2:46 “now there’s a Batman..” shows how in character he was. The joker is all chaos even with his plans. He switched his interest in the plan so fast as soon as he saw his ‘unstoppable force / immovable object’

[danielpatrick]

Imagine being so good at playing the Joker that people almost forget that's a batman's movie

[VAWM.]

I just realized that the Joker isn't trying to unmask Batman at the end, he's trying to carve a smile into his face.

[sampson]

The way his voice changes when he says “Hit me” is terrifying

[aPumpkn]

4:25 I love how they started that violin string like something terrible was about to happen but as soon as Joker gets interrupted that violin stops.

[PlyrMava.]

That's what I loved about Joker. It wasn't about money, glory, notoriety, power... It was about breaking the core of what he viewed as a fake society, and ripping the fabric away that hid everyone's darkness.
He wanted to show that nothing matters, and what people drew inspiration from really wasn't there. That's how you make the world burn. He succeeded with Harvey, maybe he could've succeeded with Gotham eventually.

The perfect villain

3:30 the way Heath gets up, falls down, and shoots the gun at the same time looks so fluid. It’s like it came out of the comics.

[redfox]

I love how joker voice gets louder after each time he says “hit me” still gives me chills

[ConnorMiller]

This is definitely one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. The adrenaline that came from it was on another level. Heath’s “HIT ME” had everyone on the edge of their seats. Once Gordon was revealed, there was applause. Rest in peace Heath Ledger, forever the best Joker! ❤

[buzzlightyearpfp]

3:07 i love how while the henchmen simply think batman "missed", joker immediately looks around to see what actually happened. he knows better.

[lordmidasproductions]

3:54 When your big brother is about to hit you but you know your mom willl be home soon.

[JJRodriguez-vuyf]

4:29 I love how’s he’s like a child asking for five more minutes when his mom says it’s bedtime

[Sachin_C]

04:25 this is one of the reasons why he won the oscar. His weird antics.

Very deserving.
