What is Batman’s single most guilty pleasure? Hey baby, come back to my place and I’ll show you ____? What has been making life difficult at the nudist colony? Seemingly weird questions with not so obvious answers! No? Well, Cards Against Humanity may have the answer! We all have to have conversations. And sometimes indulge in outrageous ones – ranging from funny to outrightly dirty! We are horrifically imperfect people and the problems are so big and seemingly insurmountable that when placed…

have ended. It is certainly not just for the one who did nothing wrong to be blamed for great evil. However, to Batman it is not justice that matters, it is the city of Gotham. He accepts that the truth is not what is best for the city. According the Gordon, the Batman - the Dark Knight - is "the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. . . so we hunt him". Batman disregards what is just for what is best, a much different approach than Harvey Dent who had almost destroyed the…

The Dark Knight is the story of the infamous “Batman” and his iconic rival the “Joker” in which the two fight for the power over the city. The Joker’s character is described as a “sociopathic, killing clown” because his actions and his scars have such an impact on anyone he crosses. Both roles are classified as incognito. Mysteries consume the ones who watch this film as to what is the actual story behind the scars? Or was the joker actually an unethical hero? And especially the most asked, what…

In more ways than one, the Batman and Joker are very similar. Though one fights for justice and the other is pure comical chaos, they are the same, that is why they never truly end each other and will continue the endless cycle they are stuck in. While some would disagree with this, others say that the Bat is just as insane as the joker, maybe even more. There are times in comics, for example “The Killing Joke”, that have more or less proven this point. For example, at the end of the comic,…

Everyone in the history of time should agree that Batman is the best super hero just because he rules, but that's not what this essay is about. This essay's subject will stay in the famous city of "Gotham" and focus on the Joker. The Joker is the best villain because he always finds a way to trap Batman, he is a symbol of death, and he is the complete opposite of Batman. The Joker is known to be a trickster, after all it is his name. He has a way of out smarting Batman almost every time, that…

The Dionysian and the Apollonian are two impulses that Nietzsche identifies as ways of thinking that is expressed through art. The Apollonian being that which relates to logic, reason, and order, whereas the Dionysian relates to irrationality, intoxication, losing oneself, and emotions. When these two impulses come together and are balanced art is created. One genre of television series is drama. In dramas there is usually a protagonist which would represent the Apollonian aspect by bringing…

Authors have to employ various techniques in their writing to convey their message to the reader. However, comic book authors face an extra struggle. Having little text and few pages, they have to manipulate their images and the way the text appears to get their message across. The author of Batman the Dark Knight: Trapped by the Scarecrow portrays the complexity of the characters, the motives for their actions, and their similarity through his dark illustrations, frequency of text use, and…

As Joker is burning the money in this scene, he says, “This town deserves a better class of criminal. And I’m going to give it to them.” Much of the film is dedicated to exploring what kind of criminal and what kind of hero Gotham City deserves. Bruce Wayne seems to be a white-collar criminal, who engages in the kind of corporate crimes that attract our real-life two-faced prosecutors. He takes corporate resources to pursue his own interests, uses deceptive means to obtain a majority stake in…

The Joker manages the overthrow of an entire criminal organization, predicting the moves of the cops and others on their way. The Joker says “Do I really look like a guy with a plan, Harvey? I don’t have a plan…” “I’m a dog chasing cars… I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it. I just do things. I’m just a wrench in the gears. I hate plans.” “Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I’m not a schemer, I show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really…
