The Joker is one of the best villains because, he is unique in looks and in the way he does crimes. Although he is the size of an average man, he is very obviously nothing like any other human. He is known in Gotham
Multitasking is said to be impossible to humans, but people do them all the time - even if subconsciously. In his article The Thematic Paradigm in Signs of Life in the U.S.A., Robert Ray expresses his opinion about the heroes in Hollywood films, and how Americans act when put against a hard decision. In his article, he claims that heroes can be divided into two categories; Official Heroes or Outlaw Heroes. He later claims that a hero can also be a mix of both of these, known as the Composite Hero. He also claims that in times when one has to make a hard decision, Americans act in one of three ways; either refuse to take sides and combine both, blurs the difference between the choices, or just laugh it off. These categories are well defined
As is common in Nolan's films, the leading male characters are driven by their need to get the job done. If the audience has seen others of Nolan's works, they will begin to assume that this man will be more important to the film than just a guy who pulls off a bank heist. This idea evolves through the movie with this character, The Joker, as he is definitely motivated by his desire to finish what he started. This shows when he gets worried at the end of the film when the boat of citizens fails to blow up the boat of convicts and vice versa.
As so many of Batman's rogue gallery, through tragedy, these evil are born. Time and time again, we are shown how easily Bruce Wayne could have become Gotham's worst. Following villains
The Joker is an important character in Batman movies. He is always shown to be a bad, evil character. However, he has secret reasons why he does what he does.

Why so serious? If I were to ask you that question six months ago, you wouldn’t understand the phrase. Now that The Dark Knight has been made though, most people will understand what I am talking about. Ever since The Dark Knight was created, the joker has been thrust back into the public eye. Most people only know the joker from the performances of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman. Most people forget that the Joker has been a villain since 1940 in Batman #1 (spring edition). The Joker has been reinvented every decade since his first appearance. He started off as a homicidal maniac, then a criminal that was just a harmless nuisance to becoming a mass murdering, schizophrenic clown that we know today. He has been named number one on the Wizard’s list for one hundred all-time villains. In this speech I will tell you how the joker was created, the criminal career of the joker, and trademark characteristics of the joker.
Superheroes movies are no longer something new and strange with everyone. From classic superheroes like Superman, Batman, Spiderman to new ones like Black Panther, and Antman, all have had a chance to have their own solo movie. All superheroes fight bad guys; however, they also have a single nemesis that they always have a hard time defeating. For Batman, it is the Joker, an archenemy that he could never defeat, who is always going to be present. If there is Batman, then there will sure be the Joker. Although there are a lot of good aspects to the Batman’s movie series, Batman and the Joker’s relationship is what made it so successful.
The Joker, the greatest villain of all time, is Batman's enemy. The joker is the main antagonist in the move "The Dark Knight" also know as the villain. The main super hero in this movie that the joker was the villain of was Batman.The joker is also very intelligent so there are no limits to what he can do.
I think the best villain to me is the Joker. That is because he looks like a clown and thinks that everything is a joke.
The Dark Knight was the Batman movie we deserved... and the one that we needed at the time... AND it's a movie that we shall look up to for decades to come because it is truly one of the best comic book films of all time. Scratch that, it is truly one of the BEST MOVIES of all time. This time around the Caped Crusader (Christian Bale still) has been working well with Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and Gotham City's new DA Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) in locking up most of the city's major criminals, and overall making Gotham a safer place to live. However, their plans all go awry when a new insane criminal, the Joker (Heath Ledger), starts wreaking havoc in Gotham forcing Batman to go to great
In summary, Batman and The Joker are different in many ways. The Joker represents evil; he’s a symbol of destruction, where he goes, or whatever he does, it involves something evil. He is motivated by his intense desire to destroy order and justice in Gotham. As for The Dark Knight, he stands for Authority, sacrifice, and hope in Gotham. He protects Gotham city, and he believes that Gotham City has a structure that can be fixed. Batman represents everything that The Joker goes against.
The Joker has been represented in two films in the last 30 years, Batman (1989) played by Jack Nicholson and The Dark Knight (2008) played by Heath Ledger. Batman’s director Tim Burton gave Nicholson’s Joker an identity outside the Joker persona: an identity that effects his motivations and the overall tone of the film as being filled with revenge. In contrast, The Dark Knight’s director Christopher Nolan focuses on the mental connection between Ledger’s Joker and Batman (Christian Bale) through juxtaposing Joker’s anarchy to Batman’s morality. The motivations behind each portrayal are reflected in the way their respective personas were created. Nicholson’s motivation is all about revenge against Batman (Michael Keaton), Grissom (Jack Palance),
Could there actually be someone who truly just does not care about dying or killing innocent people? The world may never know. But as Alfred said “The Joker is a man who isn’t looking for anything logical like money, nor can he be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. He simply wants to watch the world burn” (tyree, 2009). Alfred is right with his small diagnosis of The Jokers behavior. There is something deeper though, it is hard for me to just think that The Joker has some mental issue without a past of some sort, or a traumatization. The scars. Where did they come from? Well, he tells two different stories in the movie. The first story is of him and his father. He says, “So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, ‘Why so serious?’ Comes at me with the knife. ‘WHY SO SERIOUS?’ He sticks the blade in my mouth”’ (Batman: The Dark Knight, 2014). Now knowing this vital information about his past, a conclusion can be drawn that there are psychological issues that may cause his behavior. Psychologist Sea and Knon stated that, “this can lead to coping strategies of secrecy and social withdrawal” (Sea and Knon, 2013). The Joker withdrawals from society because of his indifferences, mainly with his appearance. The secrecy is behind The Joker, is The Joker. He never gives away his plans
f you are a die hard comic book fan or a guy that knows nothing about comics or batman, you know who The Joker is. The Joker tops pretty much everybodys list for the greatest villain of all time due to his unpredictability and madness. He had no motive for money, power, or freedom his only motive was to cause problems and get in the way of others. The Joker is a yin to the Batman’s yang; he just cannot fathom the idea of Batman’s morality and has become obsessed to make Batman see the error of his ways. Without further due let’s get on to the reasons why the Joker is the ultimate villain of all time.
