"He was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back," Bale, 34, says in the June/July issue of Details magazine (on newsstands June 3).
"Certainly there was a great anarchist streak to it — just getting dirtier than anybody's envisioned the Joker before," adds Bale. Check out a preview for the movie here.
Bale describes Ledger's deranged Joker as having "power because he has no limits — absolutely nothing to lose."
The actor hopes his portrayal "will be an absolutely appropriate celebration of his work."
Ledger, 28, was found dead on January 22 in his NYC apartment. (See a retrospective of Ledger's life.)
