Fun fact: The hospital explosion in The Dark Knight (2008) was entirely improvised. Heath Ledger was so bored that he secretly planted the bombs, killing hundreds of innocent people. Christopher Nolan was so impressed that he kept it in the final cut.

In The Dark Knight, Joker’s pencil trick wasn’t CGI. The scene was shot twice: once with the pencil in the table and once without it. Heath Ledger only broke character once, when stuntman was knocked out during the stunt setup.

This scene wasn't planned. During filming, Ian McKellen accidentally hit himself on the head, but he didn't even flinch and carried on with the scene. When they watched the footage, they loved it and kept it in the final cut of the movie.

According to Aaron Eckhart, Heath Ledger stayed fully in character while filming this scene in The Dark Knight. Ledger spent nearly an hour pacing around and talking to himself. They didn’t exchange a single word outside the script. When the scene finally wrapped, Ledger turned to him and said, “That’s what acting is all about.”

In The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger literally improvised when he threw a brick of money straight at Chin Han’s face. He said: “Heath jumped off a two-story pile of money, grabbed a stack, and threw it at me. It hit me square in the head. I was dazed. That was the first take.”

"I have to say [my favourite film is] 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939). I saw it about ten times when I was little, because it was the only film my parents allowed me to see as a kid. I just love the magic of it." --- Heath Ledger

Christian Bale on Heath Ledger as the Joker “Heath Ledger, what a performance, what a pleasure to have gotten to work with him and just to see him and how much he put himself into the Joker” “I was watching it going, yeah, this is absolutely fantastic” “When Christopher Nolan and I first sat down, we said, do you know what the problem with Batman is? The villains are always more interesting” “So Batman actually, he's very close to being a villain himself. So let's never let him become dull by comparison” “Unfortunately I was sitting there going, I'm feeling a little bit dull in comparison cause Heath is just like crushing this but I'm so proud of that film” “I love it. The Dark Knight is absolutely extraordinary and it was such a pleasure to have gotten to work with Heath”

Day 918: My favorite part of Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt is, of course, the hot tub scene 😂 Also the part after where he bonks his head. Why did they make him do that? Like in-universe it was an outtake they just kept in because it was funny
