Batman :The Dark Knight Hospital Explosion Reaction Was Not Ad-Libbed

Batman:The Dark Knight - Hospital Explosion Reaction Was Not Ad-Libbed: Remember when The Joker was walking away from the hospital in Dark Knight in his nurse uniform, and there was that dinky explosion? Christopher Nolan wanted a delayed, staggered explosive effect that would allow Ledger to walk close to the building without getting hurt. They only had one take, as the building was actually demolished, and to this day Nolan credits Heath for not looking back despite the loud noises and nearby debris. Many sites online believe that the explosions were faulty and that Ledger improvised his frustrated reaction, but this is not the case.
