Heath Ledger is The Joker in “The Dark Knight”

Hi, I’m the Joker. And here’s my card.

By now, moviegoers are abuzz about Heath Ledger’s chilling turn in “The Dark Knight.”

As The Joker, Ledger is a murderous psychopath, a criminal mastermind with no discernible motives other than the spread of chaos and fear. His voice is dry, nasal, unreadable. His body language, rife with nervous ticks.

In short, he’s downright terrifying.

In this audio clip, “Dark Knight” star Christian Bale explains how Heath Ledger immersed himself in the role of The Joker.

Enjoy.
