To most people the joker is just a villain but to me he's the best villain. I believe he's the best because he doesn't have a big suit of armor or any stupid super powers he's just a crazy goon with guns and other goons who ride for him. the joker is a wicked looking villain, the way he dresses, the way he paints his face, and his tattoos and scars on his body. its funny the way he takes care of his business in situations, I guess its why he's called the joker.
the joker has a wicked appearance that makes people fear him because he looks like a maniac that should be in rehab or somewhere isolated from everyone. he has haggard green hair that looks like he hasn't showered in a couple months. he paints his face white with black circles around his eyes and red lipstick on his lips and cheeks where his scars are to make him look like he always has a smile on his face. he wears a purple suit that makes him look ridiculous and when he's shirtless he has "HAHAHA" tattooed all over his body. all these characteristics together make up a scary looking villain.

Unlike the majority of people in this world, the Joker does not think of himself as a good person. He knows he is crazy and does not think too highly of himself. This is called “illusory superiority”, the cognitive bias in almost all people that makes people think of themselves as better people than they actually are. The Joker does not have this. He believes that
The Joker has no alter ego. He walks around the way he is with his deformed face full of scars and in some versions, with his bright colored hair and bleached skin, always with that maniac, chilling laughter which always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. He has no personal agenda to all the brutality he inflicts, no thirst for revenge or materialistic goals made him reach this point. He lives to dismantle the codes the society lives by and all he hopes for is to rip apart the expected codes of morality, so the people can then be free of any faith, any belief of right or wrong. He creates situations for the people of his town
Joker’s backstory begins as an engineer who decides to quit his job at Ace Chemicals Co to become a comedian.

In the movie The Dark Knight, Batman is faced with a new challenge—dealing with the Joker. Batman, and the city of Gotham, views the Joker as a mysterious, sadistic criminal who is a freak of nature. However, the challenge becomes very personal for Batman as the Joker confronts Batman about everything he believes in. The Joker does this because he has a very relativistic view on life. Even though he murders innocent people, tortures others for amusement, and manipulates everyone he meets, he does not view his actions as wrong. In fact, he does not even believe in an absolute right. He believes that everyone else is crazy for thinking that there is a right and wrong that all people should follow, and he
In a movie where good and evil are divided by a very thin line, the Dark Knight rises up to fight against injustice and corruption in Gotham City. An action sequel to the original Batman Begins, this installment is a lot darker filled with more explosion, twists, and suspense. For the first time, a comic has been integrated into the issues of the real world. With the help of District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant Gordon, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining mob members and clean the streets of Gotham for good. Their success is only short-lived when they encounter the Joker, a mysterious mastermind who is out to prove that nobility cannot hold in a world of anarchy.
The Joker was once seen as a comical criminal who committed ridiculously silly crimes, such as spreading laughing gas throughout Gotham City. However, after the reinvention of Batman, The Joker was transformed into a grave and terrorizing character. Continuing the course of the new personality given to The Joker, writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland created a graphic novel called The Killing Joke, “a much more complex, darker, and ultimately, frightening story” (Wooldridge) which tells one of the origins of The Joker since The Joker himself is unsure of his true inception. However, this particular graphic novel “isn’t about how the Joker came to be, it’s an examination of
At the beginning of the movie we are introduced to the Joker who is set on creating mayhem and villainy for the sheer sport of it. All he wants is to bring the world down to his level and make them see through his eyes and thus understand that all men are inherently evil.He is antisocial in all ways, but seems to have more realism than anyone else. He robs a bank that is owned by Gotham’s gangs and by doing so makes himself a target for them. Batman is left puzzled by this a strained villain who seems to pose no real threat, except that he needs to be caught. Through the movie Joker is seemly one-step ahead of Batman until the District Attorney, Harvey Dent, realizes that The Joker is a mad genius and needs to be sought after.
In the film, The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan, The Joker, one of Batman's most dangerous enemies whose aim is too push Batman to his ultimate limits, to break his personal rules and strict moral code. This, being the Jokers only reason to live, he has no fear of death and pain. The Joker is characterised as a calculating and logical criminal, a rebel with minimal empathy or moral and a nemesis who commits purposeless crime. Together these characteristics are developed through specific and appropriate use of technical aspects, such as, camera movement, camera angles, props and dialogue. Together these techniques create a character who is an extraordinary to watch, as he causes chaos in Gotham City, all to get
He loved what the Joker did in the movie by tormenting and killing others. The Joker was always recognized as the smartest villain because he always had boobie traps and poison gas in his arsenal when it came to weaken and slow down Batman. However, James took what he seen during the movie and see if he imitates the Joker's mentality. By the end of the film, Holmes had his hair dyed red like how the Joker's hair was and wore a gas mask like what Joker wore when he tends to poison his victims with gas and he began to shoot at everyone in the movie theater. When the police arrested him and did investigation, Holmes claimed himself to be the Joker and that he had a mental
It's not quite fair to say that the late Heath Ledger steals "The Dark Knight" from Christian Bale and the forces of (problematic) good, but, as the Joker, he is the movie's animating principle and anarchic spark - an unstoppable force colliding with the immovable objects of Batman and director
First of all, there is an argument as to where he actually came from. Different movies and comics have had different points of view. There is no back-story for his character. "The Joker has always had a durable history of crime, of course,
The fourth question asks why there are differences between The Joker and the rest of us. “Freud would argue that different people develop in differing environments and had different childhood experiences” (Psychoanalysis of The Joker). The reason The Joker is different from all of us is his complicated past. Due to unknown childhood experiences, he never developed a superego.
Another common thing that the Joker does is that he attempts to conceal the true reasons for his actions. In other words, the Joker uses defense mechanisms to distance himself from reality as a means to protect himself from the horrid things he has done (Friedman & Schustack, 2009). He demonstrates the specific defence mechanism of rationalization and he does this by trying to justify murdering Harvey Dent's, a pivotal character to the film's plot, girlfriend. He explains to Dent that her death was not his fault and he does such things (i.e., killing innocent people) to show others how pathetic they are for believing that they have control in their lives “ “ (De La Noy & Nolan,
The Joker’s constant twitching and licking of his lips as possible evidence of an oral fixation and would want to ask the Joker about his relationship with his mother. If we go ahead and believe that the Joker really did have and hate his abusive alcoholic father, then we would explore the conflict between the Joker and his father and as a result, the underdevelopment of a superego. In the second narration of the origins of his scars, the Joker tells Rachel that he once had a wife that was cut up by mobsters and that in an effort to make her feel better, he carves his own face and was devastated when she leaves him. If we believe this version of the story, then his anger from his father
