The Joker displays qualities of the new type of villain authors/ directors like to use. The Joker’s method of terrorizing people is very strange. None of his actions are explained, which makes him incredibly mysterious. One example of his strangeness is his scars on the sides of his mouth. Each time he tells a different story of how he got them. He is a stock character, meaning there was no information on his origins, we, the audience, just knew what kind of character he was…obviously, completely insane. The Joker’s ways of attack are very strategic and clever. You, as the audience, never know what he will do next and whatever he does, he always makes you jump. His way of life is that with rules, life is boring.…
The joker is one of the most popular villain's to this day. He is well known for causing chaos and anarchy, he doesn't have a purpose to why he's always causing trouble he just does it out of entertainment. His characteristics are very distinctive, His purpose is to corrupt everybody and everything to cause evil for everyone. The joker wants to corrupt batman and make him just like him, his whole purpose is to make batman go crazy and kill everyone instead of him being the hero. The characteristics between the joker and batman are somewhat similar but very different from each other. The joker has many reason's why he doesn't like batman but the joker never tries to kill him.…
The superhero universe is one that is vast and complex. Although my passion is helping others, if I could switch places with a superhero or villain of my choosing, I wouldn't hesitate to select a villain. More specifically, I would pick Harley Quinn. Although ostensibly, Harley is an obsessed psychopath who goes to great lengths just for her significant other, the Joker, her character goes much deeper. Harley, unlike most superheroes and villains, who are simply concerned with world domination or saving the world as a whole, is aware of social issues that are brought up today. For example, in one episode of the Batman television show, a police asks Harley to read him his rights in a sexual context, and she proceeds to teach him a lesson. Harley…
The main antagonist of the Dark Knight is the Joker. The Joker makes his debut in the opening scene, which is one of the best bank robbery scenes ever shot. Not only does The Joker rob the bank, he does so in a way in which all his criminal accomplices murder each other one by one thinking that they’ll get a bigger cut if they do. From this scene you might think that the joker is motivated by money. However, that’s not true at all. He robbed the mobs bank so he can manipulate the mob as he pleases and cause more chaos and destructions, which he does later into the movie. When Alfred and Bruce discuss what motivates of the Joker Alfred replies ”Some Men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned,…
I wish I could meet director Chris Nolan so I could shake his hand for rescuing the Batman franchise from its shlock purgatory that was Schumacher-Land. Hats (and cowls) off to underappreciated actor Christian Bale, who filled in the Batsuit quite nicely (and his gravelly Batman voice was spot on!), but more importantly, he gave both Bruce Wayne and Batman true character. And of course I also applaud the excellent supporting cast of acting greats: Liam Neeson shows that he's not just wise old mentor material (the twist at the end surprised and impressed me-- who would have thunk it? Ra's al Ghul is IRISH!:p), Michael Caine shows why he's the obvious and really only choice to play wry, reliable Alfred, Morgan Freeman shows how an understated, classy performance can be memorable, and Gary Oldman shows an entirely new (at least new to me) facet of his acting prowess by turning in what I think is the real breakthrough performance in the movie. It was kind of freaky seeing someone who usually plays scary, psycho villains transform…
One of the most intense episodes yet, and certainly tragic. So if you've got a bleeding heart for Bruce Wayne, watch out! Spoilers ahead.…
Batman should actually kill the Joker to prevent himself from becoming the bad guy. He should be the hero, save the city, and sleep with a clear…
A sociopath is a person with an antisocial personality, usually a criminal who lacks a sense of moral responsibility. In the comic book, television show and movies; the character the Joker is the king of Sociopaths. He again and again commits crimes with no hint of remorse. The Joker has much charm. He charmed his way into convincing a psychiatric counselor into letting him out of his holding cell. He convinced her that they were meant for each other. This same psychiatric counselor would end up being his infamous partner in crime Harley Quin, who continually falls for the Joker’s charm. The Joker is very manipulative as well. He believes that no one else in the world matters except himself and Batman.…
“Dark Knight” was a smash hit for it’s fame, explosions, and chase scenes, but what really had me on the edge of my seat was perhaps the most riveting villain I had ever seen. The Joker. The Joker is a mob-backed terrorist with suicidal tendencies and According to the DSM, the joker would be given the diagnoses of Antisocial personality disorder. He is not reasonable, he’s not afraid of anything, and the last thing he cares about in the world is himself. As Alfred explained to Bruce, “Some men just want to watch the world burn…
It is kind of a difficult choice for me, considering there are so many villains, but if I had to choose it would probably be from Batman. Batman has some good villains, but most of them are a little…
First of all, from “utilitarianism” aspect, Joker is probably deserved to be killed because his death may save more people lives. Secondly/Moreover, on the issue of “deontology” and the action of “murder”, the death of Joker might be preferable or even desirable or acceptable as it seems that Joker should accept the punishment by law or official rather than “vigilante justice”. This is because Joker is created and considered as an “evil” character in the movie/story; yet, he is still a human being who should receive the basic human right and dignity as well as respect. However/last but not the least, the character “Batman” instead of “Joker” is the main discussion from the aspect of “virtue ethics” in the final perspectives. The question is: if Batman kills the Joker, is there any guarantee that all problems can be solved out in Gotham City? Also, it is against one of Batman’s personal principles—to take/have “his enemies’ lives”.…
The Joker, Batman's nemesis, is far from a golden example of good. In fact, he's more of a madman out to watch the world burn as he causes chaos, which he calls “justice”. And even though he is evil and madness incarnate, there's still a place for him in people's minds under the category of awesome. From the show Supernatural, the fallen angel, Lucifer enjoys torturing, killing and bringing on the apocalypse. Nonetheless, he's a major character and has a beloved place within the heart of the fandom.…
In conclusion joker is an extremely good villain for numerous reasons but three characteristics that he has set him apart from the rest and those are that he is very strong, he is a sneaky villain, and finally he keeps the members of the audience on the edge of there seat guessing what he will do next. And that's what make a good…
As Mark D. White said in his essay, “Does Batman want to be the kind of person that takes his enemies’ lives? If Batman killed the Joker, would he be able to stop there, or would every two-bit thug get the same treatment” (547)? White felt it would not be the right thing for Batman to do by killing the Joker or any other villain. White thought that if Batman were to kill the villains that would make Batman become a killer also. Even though Batman would be killing the villains for the safety of the people of the community, it would not make him any better than the villains…
He understands what’s coming to him and expects the unexpected in many scenarios. He even has a contingency plan in case of The Justice League is under controlled. Another trait that he serves is physical and mental conditioning. Let’s face it, Batmanʻs body functions is at the peak of the human condition; meaning that your natural capabilities are near superhuman. Despite not having any superpowers, he is a master martial artist and acrobat. As being said earlier, Batman was trained by the League of Shadows that led him to be very skilled in knowing each pressure point in the human body as well as being an excellent strategist, swordsman, tactician, and…
