Preparing for the Joker
"To prepare for his role as the Joker, Heath Ledger lived alone in a hotel room for a month, formulating the character's psychology, posture and voice (the last one he found most difficult to do). He started a diary, in which he wrote the Joker's thoughts and feelings to guide himself during his performance." -imdb.com
Pre Make-Up Post Scars
"The Joker make-up was composed of three pieces of stamped silicone, which took less than an hour to apply to Heath Ledger on each day of shooting. Ledger described it as 'new technology which is much quicker to apply than regular prosthetics'; he felt he was not wearing any make-up at all." -imdb.com
Interrogation Scene
"Christian Bale stated in an interview that during the interrogation scene, Heath Ledger wanted him to beat him as hard as he could to get the real feeling of what was required from the scene." -imdb.com
Jail Scene
"Heath Ledger improvised when he started clapping inside his jail cell in a mocking and sardonic capacity as Gordon is promoted. The clapping was not scripted but Christopher Nolan immediately encouraged the crew to continue filming and the sequence was included in the film." -imdb.com
Party Scene
"It's Sir Michael Caine's opinion that Heath Ledger beat the odds and topped Jack Nicholson's Joker from Batman (1989): 'Jack was like a clown figure, benign but wicked, maybe a killer old uncle. He could be funny and make you laugh. Heath's gone in a completely different direction to Jack, he's like a really scary psychopath. He's a lovely guy and his Joker is going to be a hell of a revelation in this picture.' Caine bases this belief on a scene where the Joker pays a visit to Bruce Wayne's penthouse. He'd never met Ledger before, so when Ledger arrived and performed he gave Caine such a fright he forgot his lines." -imdb.com
Logo Feces
Okay, I freakin' HATE it when a website or magazine or TV broadcast station feels the need to include their logo on every image they show. Of course, I don't mean the unassuming ones that are just a small blurb across the very bottom of the picture, I mean the ones that are in your face letting the whole world know where this image was posted or shown or whatever. Yes, I understand that if I like said picture, I might want to go back to the source to find more, which is why I don't mind a little here's-my-card at the bottom of the image. But that in-your-face logo FECES that they plaster right in the center of an otherwise beautiful picture just pisses me off to no end. Take for instance the "Bat Blog" logo in the image above. That really sucks. So, I have removed it for you (the full pic is up this side bar a little ways, unfortunately, it's a small pic anyways, I just enlarged the logo feces for emphasis). I have also removed the logo feces from a pic in the Interrogation Scene sequence (P.S. it's the one where he's laying down on top of the table). You're welcome.
Nothing but Heath
"When asked, 'Why Heath Ledger as the Joker?' Christopher Nolan said, 'Because he's fearless.'" -imdb.com
