Yes, it's one of those things you laugh at then feel really bad for laughing at. XD Not me. I just laughed while everyone in the movie theatre were wondering if I'm related to hitler. I know, he was awesome.

Aw, no kiddin'. In fact, I found myself laughing at most of what the Joker did. And to be honest, dude had to have killed like 8 or 9 people in that movie.

The movie wasn't without tears for me though. I'm real sensitive like that. XD Rachael's death was really heartbreaking. It didn't hit me hardest till the third time I saw it. I don't know why. I guess by then I was used to the movie so I could really appreciate Bale's performance as he whispered "She was gonna wait for me, Alfred." That was so sad. D:
Also, when Two-Face put that gun to Gordon's kid's head. I seriously freaked. I was like "That's way too hardcore for PG-13 right? They wouldn't shoot a kid on camera... would they?" Gary Oldman was SO awesome in that scene. I tear up every time, and I know it's not actually gonna happen!

The one scene that sticks out the most for me in the Dark Knight... is the ending. Not like the actual last 20 minutes, but the last 20 seconds or so.
Gordon's monologue, and then "A watchful protector, a silent guardian... a dark knight" then they blare that theme music?
I almost cried because of how awesome it was set up.
Director Kevin Smith put it best about Heath's performance in the movie, in that "he disappeared into the role." He did an excellent job in this movie, again his little speeches about the true balance of order and chaos were just phenomenal.
Loved it. Saw it 4 times.

The Gordon monologue ending was ridiculously epic. I was worried I was the only one who thought so.

Dude, Gary Oldman killed that monologue. It was AWESOME. There was so much talent in that movie, I was completely, utterly inspired. Course, being an actor myself, I love to see great performances like that. Yakuza: Kevin Smith is absolutely right. I don't see a lot of actors that can "disappear" into a roll. I think I've seen a few - Dustin Hoffman in Hook for example. That's the kind of actor I want to be.

^Isn't that type of acting "Method Acting"? I think that was the type of actor Heath Ledger was. He would remain in character even when not performing.

Method Acting is when you draw inspiration from real life experience. Like when an actor has to play someone deeply in love, he would think about the time when he in love and how he reacted/felt back then to use it in his performance.
I agree that the speech Oldman gave at the end was simply phenomenal while seeing Batman having to run from the cops. The speech itself was a great way to end this film but performed by Oldman just made it all the more epic. He is an excellent actor after all.

The speech itself was a great way to end this film but performed by Oldman just made it all the more epic. He is an excellent actor after all. In all honesty, I held Oldman's performance on the same level as Ledger's. Why? Well I loved the Joker, and I loved Lt. Gordon. If Oldman had a character that needed to evoke emotion on the same level as the Joker, he would have done it to a T. But how Oldman really just showed a really really ticked off cop and still maintaining the "SuperFriend 3" thing that Dent, Batman, and Gordon had going on... I dont know I just really liked Oldman in this movie. As for the Joker, I mean what can I say? Theres a reason I've got bootlegs of this movie already. There's a reason I have 3 bootleg favorites on youtube. The joker's monologues and just that gut-wrenching laugh... He brought more than his A game to that set. I remember reading an interview with the guy who played Alfred the Butler, he said that the first actual time he saw Ledger act as the Joker was the scene where he busts into the party, and he was so startled that he forgot his lines. And someone like Michael Caine breaking character is rare. Very rare. DVD sales will be through the roof.

I want the next Nolan Batman film to be "The Killing Penguin"
(Basically the ultimate Penguin story)
The Penguin kidnaps Gordon, trying to prove that even the sanest man can be driven penguin by just having a very penguin day. He puts Gordon on a nightmarish trip through the penguin section of the zoo, and forces him to watch as he pecks Barbara into paralysis with his pointy nose (stays canon in comics). Additionally, we finally discover The Penguin's mysterious background. Oswald Cobblepot was a meek and ordinary man, until one day his wife dies and he falls into a vat of penguins. Batman soon comes to rescue Gordon, HAS THE PENGUIN PENGUINED HIS LAST PENGUIN?

Well, Ledger got his Best Supporting Actor Oscar as expected. Not that I can imagine any of the other nominees seriously minding.

It's an interesting, difficult, emotionally jarring way of acting. I think that had a lot to do with Heath's mental issues (and yet I still want to be that good, lol!))
