By pure chance, it resulted in one of the greatest moments in the movie, and a moment that perfectly showcased Joker’s anarchic nature and Ledger’s sheer talent.
read on reddit that ledger’s performance was based on tom waits’ mannerisms. if you watch an interview i totally buy it, the likeness is pretty strong.
Inject a little chaos. You know the thing about chaos, it’s fair.
