* The performance by Creator/HeathLedger has been mentioned but it extends beyond that. Let's be honest, NOBODY thought this would work. Nobody expected Ledger to deliver anything even half as good as what we got. The casting choice raised so many eyebrows due to just how strange and [[PlayingAgainstType unusual]] it was. Hell, ''Ledger himself'' admitted that, if it was him, he'd not had casted himself either! Then Ledger shocked everyone by giving not only the best performance in the series, but arguably the greatest performance in the history of comic book movies. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis He.

** The warden silently hands over the remote, fully expecting that Ginty will use it...and instead he throws it out the window and into the river.

* In the press conference, Aaron Eckhart pulls out all the stops as Harvey Dent. First, he tries to rationalize with the (understandably) frightened citizens of Gotham to keep Batman from turning himself in. What does he do when he realizes that it doesn't work? He pulls an awesome IAmSpartacus move and proclaims "I'm the Batman"...all so Batman would have a chance to capture the Joker.

*** Notably, the Joker previously encouraged Harvey to "introduce a little anarchy". The civilians took a democratic vote and voted by a margin of ''256 people'' to blow up the other boat... and then no one actually blows up the boat. In that moment, the people rejected democracy, embraced anarchy, and used that to ''flip the Joker's philosophy'' against him!

And in this corner, the Batpod, an iddy-biddy motorcycle detached from the destroyed Batmobile. Who wins? The Batpod; as it ''flips the 18-freakin'-wheeler on its back with just towing cables''. Seriously, you couldn't hear the movie for a full 10 minutes because people went coconuts cheering.

** And you know the MOST awesome thing about it? One of the reasons nobody thought this would work was because this was such a ''radical reinterpretation'' of the Joker. The Joker is one of the most iconic villains in comic book history and while there have been several different takes on him ([[Series/Batman1966 Cesar Romero's]], Creator/JackNicholson's, Creator/MarkHamill's, and more recently Creator/JaredLeto's) this one strayed the furthest from the original concept- his skin wasn't stained by chemicals, he wasn't wacky and gimmicky, he was more of a terrorist than a criminal, he didn't like being called insane. And yet, Heath Ledger's all-new version of the Joker ''instantly'' became arguably one of the MOST iconic, recognizable and awesome of all. It redefined ComicBook/TheJoker. It was just that good.

**Later Reese tries to go public with Bruce's identity anyway and Joker puts out a hit on him to shut him up, putting the entire city after him with threat of blowing up a random hospital. Despite this, Bruce still heads out to save the man. He even manages to do so without putting on the cowl by intercepting a car trying to take Reese out. The look that Bruce and Reese share as he's taken away lets it really sink in for Reese that Bruce is truly a heroic man and he has colossally fucked up by trying to expose him.
