The final evolution of the Joker took a sinister twist back to his roots. In the 2008 film The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger played the darkest version of the Joker yet. The entire film was a social commentary on the War on Terror and the Joker was the symbol of the Taliban and the fear that accompanies it (Message Movies?). The Joker still lacked a plan, mirroring the Taliban’s lack of plan in their holy war against the West. The Heath Ledger Joker said “Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You…

As a society, we are exposed to movies about heroes such as batman, superman, spider man, and many other more.

The theory that best explains the joker would fall under Psychological Abnormality.…

Without any conflict a story-(read: a movie)-is boring. Some people are drawn to the dark motives and actions of the villains and because of this more often than not the villain is more liked than the hero. Movies have transpired to show the hero in a good light that’s enjoyable and believable. But a man’s worth can only ever truly be measured by the weight of those that stand against them. In days of old it was easy enough to throw a black hat on a man and show him shoot a few people and…

As they all shared this commonality, they also all expressed their love for one another. In the warehouse scene, Rachel and Dent discuss their love for one another and their plans of marriage…

villains. Secondly, I wish to discuss and analyze batman acting as a “police officer” using the article “Is Batman a State Actor?” I would like to denote how he potentially violates the fourth amendment of the U.S. constitution. Commissioner Gordon in comics and the sixties show has the ability to convert Batman from a super hero to a super cop. Some common examples could be that batman enters people homes and other places without a search warrant or a probable cause. Hence, I could argue…

Bringing the fiction characters to real-life is the power that every book, novel, comic fans definitely want to have. If I have that such kind of power, the character I want to bring to real-life is Batman, because he is the symbol of justice, a very smart person and dare to break the law and fight the bad guy even they are the government. Every comic and superhero movie fans in general and DC fans, in particular, know that Batman is the symbol of justice. He fights the bad guy who commits…

jumps from rooftops and can defeat armed men with no gun of his own, he is not bullet proof and can die. Batman has to constantly consider each and every move he makes to avoid being killed by criminals or arrested by the police once Commissioner Gordon retires. This is in stark contrast to Superman who has changed very little in a decade and has the full support of the President of the United States in his actions. Frank Miller wanted the reader know that Batman didn't just lose to the Mutant…
