10 Best Joker Quotes From 'The Dark Knight'

Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight is one of the most memorable supervillain images in movie history. The Joker utters many memorable lines in the film, and Ledger was posthumously nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.

When the Joker bursts into a meeting of various mob bosses to discuss what to do about Batman, he begins by performing a "magic trick" by "erasing" a pencil in the eye of one of the bosses' subordinates. The Joker then offers a simple solution to their problem that is out of the ordinary: kill Batman. The mob bosses laugh, and one boss, played by Eric Roberts, says, "If it's so easy, why haven't we done it yet?"

The Joker responds:

"If you're good at something, don't do it for free."

9. "Everything Burns!"

Warner Bros.

After the mob boss finally accepts the Joker's proposal and hands him a lot of money -- literally -- the clown-faced villain wants to make it clear that he's rebelling against all of society, even criminally, and to prove it, he goes for the jackpot and says:

8. "Do I Look Like a Guy With a Plan?"

Warner Bros.

The famous "hospital scene" In "The Joker," when he disguises himself as a nurse and makes his way to the hospital where Harvey Dent lies, he explains his motivations, saying:

7. "Guns Are Too Quick."

Warner Bros.

6. "I'm Not a Monster."

Warner Bros.

Eventually Batman appears on the interrogation scene, and the Joker explains that Batman isn't trying to kill him; Batman is basically "burying" him. The Dark Knight blames him and summons the monster. The Joker tries to explain the opposite:

"For them, you're just a weird person as me! And if you don't need it, you'll be kicked out like a leprosy patient! Their morals and rules are a bad joke. They are kicked out as soon as they occur. They will only be a monster if they can be used. "

She can't stand my looks! She left. Now, I can see interesting aspects. I'm always laughing now! "

3. "We're Destined to Do This Forever."

At the end of the movie, the joker is already weighed. He makes a fool of Batman and accurately describes the relationship between them:

"Oh, you could not let go of me? This would happen when you met with force majeure and real estate. You are really immortal. A? I'm not overconfident, I won't kill me. And I'm kind to you. I don't think you will kill you forever.

2. "Whatever Doesn't Kill You."

1. "Why So Serious?"

Warner Bros.

For most of the movie, the mob boss nicknamed Gumball is at odds with the Joker, eventually leading him to believe that the Joker has succeeded in destroying him with his lies. Then the Joker takes over him, plunges a knife into his personality, and realizes that this may be his situation. Whether this situation is true or the one he told Rachel is true is irrelevant. It's a brilliant performance as the bestselling Ledger continues with what is probably the second most well-known rant in the Batman film franchise:

You wanna be a noble, where did you get these scars? My founder... was a drinker and a pervert. And sometime in the night he goes crazy more than usual. The mother grabs the knife to defend herself. He doesn't like it. Not even a bit. So I watch him take the knife to her and at the same time sarcastically say! He turns to me and says, "Why are you so serious, son?" He approaches me with the knife. "Why are you serious? He puts a knife in my mouth "Let's laugh in this face!"

Then the Joker kills Gumball with a knife.
