Joker

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,…

guys” that audiences always seem to love. One is your classic high school rebel in The Breakfast Club, while the other is Batman’s favorite villian in The Dark Knight. Judd Nelson and Heath Ledger share many similarities in their roles as John and the Joker, however I think the biggest difference between the two actors is the amount of intensity put into their characters. John is a troubled young man, who seems to be mad at the world. Judd Nelson does a good job giving this character a very…

don’t agree with the 4 star rating. In my opinion it should be 5. Throughout the review Roger talks about Heath Ledger does a great Job playing the Joker and telling his side of things. Roger says “The key performance in the movie is by the late Heath Ledger, as the Joker.” This is also true because if the villain, especially a big one like the Joker wasn’t played as good as it was in this movie, it would be an entire different movie. Another…

appetitive part and desires to get rid of the Joker, but really the only way of doing that is by killing him. However, the Batman endures through the temptation and does not give in to his desire to kill the Joker. On the other hand, the Joker would fit the vicious type of character in the movie. He consistently does the villainous deeds, that they have become a habit for him. He now does these vile deeds without even thinking if it's wrong. I believe that the Joker did not choose to be who he…

The two, Batman and Joker have a showdown in the Gotham city streets. Joker, urges Batman manically, “Hit Me!”as Batman is propelled towards him (Nolan, 2008). Batman feels the urge to hit Joker and he wants to but he isin conflict because he knows that he cannot violate his moral code. Batman almost sacrifices himself in order to prevent himself from hitting the Joker and breaking his moral codes. In such as scene, Batman strongly brings out…

Knight.” Batman will always help those in need even when the whole city is against him. The Joker however is the opposite of Batman, the perfect villain. He doesn’t have a goal or objective for his horrendous acts. He just wants to watch the world burn, as said in the movie. Harvey Dent falls on this thin line between hero and villain. He becomes…

all about. The current myth I am going to use come from the movie The Dark Knight(2008), where we are introduced to a trickster known as the Joker. The Joker is a villain who dresses up as a clown and commits crimes. In addition to being a villain he is also consider a criminal mastermind due to his ingenuity when it comes to the creation of chaos. The Joker has no real motif when committing crimes beside his desire to show people the unimportance of life through death and pain. As a trickster,…

a hero and an anti-hero. Featuring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman who is the hero and Heath Ledger as the Joker who played the anti-hero. The Joker’s main purpose is to bring chaos to the people of Gotham city, so Batman must come to terms with one of the greatest psychological trial run of his capability to fight injustice. Christopher Nolan was greatly influenced by the Joker comics which debut in 1940, the 1988 graphic novel the killing Joke, and the 1996 series the long Halloween,…

batman should look and feels and he does capture the character persona. Heath Ledger is one of the reason why this movie is one of the best movies of the 2000’s. Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker outstanding and just phenomenal and Heath really does capture the persona and feel and vibe The Joker has to it’s character and his performance was so good that he won an academy award for best supporting role in a movie. Gary Oldman he plays detective James Gordon and he does a great job in…

before, the minute details of the Joker 's plan and the mob 's criminal history are understood. It can take up to three or four times for the deepest meanings, the topics that we have covered in this class, to be pondered in their fullest sense. The Dark Knight is not just a superhero movie; it has themes and asks questions that will have more long-term effects than anything created purely for entertainment. In the Dark Knight, the three main characters, the Joker, Harvey Dent, and Batman, all…
