@thedarknighttrilogy: Christian Bale became visibly emotional when a montage of The Dark Knight was shown that included Heath Ledger's Joker at the MTV Movie Awards in 2012. The moment came during a segment promoting The Dark Knight Rises, when the show briefly looked back at the previous film in the trilogy. As Ledger appeared on screen, the audience reacted strongly, and Bale paused while speaking, looking down and appearing to hold back emotion. He then acknowledged Ledger directly, saying it was meaningful to see him included in that moment, before continuing the presentation with Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The reaction was widely reported as a genuine, unscripted response to seeing his late costar on stage in a celebratory setting. Enjoy Daily Dark Knight news and trivia?
