Movies Heath Ledger acting performance in The Dark Knight

[Takes Two To Tango]

One of all-time best performances.

No one can do it better than Heath as The Joker, he set the bar so high it will never be eclipsed or even reached imo.

It was also the performance that inspired Timothee Chalamet to be an actor.

Brilliant, but no such thing as a 10/10 performance.

I don't know about that, have you ever given a movie a 10/10?

I think he wass amazing in The Dark Knight. I think what helped him was that nobody had done the Joker on the big screen in 20 years since Jack nicholson. There were a bunch of silly batman movies in that stretch. But then Christopher Nolan reintroduced Batman in a more serious and dark fashion and that had everybody wondering how they would approach an iconic movie villain that we hadnt seen in a long time. And the movie marketing with the "why so Serious" slogan and a blurred face added to the suspense as well. Heath was set up perfectly to make this role succeed.

No.

If there ever was a 10/10 performance, this one is it.

10. I'm not sure how you could get any better.
