Check This Out: Supercut of Only The Joker in THE DARK KNIGHT

"And here...we...go." Blastr points us to possibly the most captivating video you'll watch all day, a supercut of Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker in Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight.

I'm not telling you anything you don't already know when I reiterate that this is truly an astonishing performance, and Ledger's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor was absolutely deserved (though, sadly, awarded postumously). He almost singlehandedly gave comic book movies the complexity that had been missing from a lot of the earlier efforts, which is partly due to the amazing character of the Joker himself and partly due to the way Ledger threw himself into the role.

I didn't even watch this whole video because I plan to rewatch The Dark Knight before The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters, but scrubbing through it I'm reminded of just how wrong people like this were when the casting news initially came out.

What's your favorite line that Ledger's Joker says in The Dark Knight?
