The Jokers costume and makeup is unique in everywhere way you look at it. For example If you look closely at Batman,s/Bruce Wayne costume there's nothing more to it expect for it been black and being made out of hardened Kevlar plates with titanium dipped Tri-weave fibers. If you look at the other villains in the Dark Knight movie there wear suits and casual clothes. But on the other hand the Jokers costume is simple and manly consists of him dressed in a custom tailored suit consisting of an elegant, purple coat with matching pin-stripe pants kept up by suspenders, wears a light blue jacket, green vest, and a light purple patterned shirt. On the Jokers face he wears white make-up with blackened eyes and red smeared over the already gruesome scars, greasy, greendyed, …show more content…
Other reasons why Christopher Nolan used this makeup/costume to make the Joker feel happy about himself through the distraction and havoc that he has caused. In the scene at the end where Joker burns the Mob,s money we can hear him say he's a simple man which could referee to why he dresses simple but yet he shines out of all the characters in the Dark Knight. Joker doesn't seem to take care of his suit and makeup on his face as we can see the makeup fading of and he's costume starting to reap apart.
The Jokers dialogue is interesting if you look listen closely whenever he speaks. People think that when the Joker speaks its someone who doesn't care, own minded, thinks in his own unique way, and just wants to see the world burn. But the Joker is much more than that and is no different from
Batman/Bruce Wayne whenever he says something it makes sense and it's true. One of Heath
Ledger most says words and famous lines are why so serious and do you want to know how I
“You can't kill me without becoming like me,” stated the Joker, a DC Comics fictional
Batman does not normally have much to say and this keeps dark and mysterious, whereas the Joker is always talking so you know how crazy and evil he is. Whenever Batman talks too he often only has a small but meaningful line that gets the point across sharply and quickly. Also because Batman is hiding his identity he puts on a deep voice and never says much about himself or his personality. This changes when he becomes Bruce Wayne again though because then he starts talking a lot about himself and other people. He also makes constant speeches and announcements as Bruce Wayne to show that he is wealthy and not shy at
The Joker has many unsettling characteristics about him. Such as his impulsivity, lack of remorse, and insanity. He is extremely out of touch with reality, after an accident in his early life, he totally lost his mind. He has no sense if reality, or remorse, making him a great fit for a supervillain. He had no clear reason to why he wants to cause chaos, no issues with anyone in Gotham, no grudge against anyone, he simply does it for
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a flawed movie. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a must watch if you call yourself a superhero movie fan, but it’s flawed nonetheless. From a dubious recasting (Maggie Gyllenhaal replacing Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes), to poor pacing in the third act, and don’t even get me started with Christian Bale’s (Bruce Wayne/Batman) lack of enthusiasm and chemistry with Rachel, The Dark Knight struggles to find its footing. With all this being said, The Dark Knight is still an excellent film, and that is entirely thanks to Heath Ledger’s phenomenal job in recreating Batman’s archenemies; the Joker.
The Joker, is a purposeless criminal. He will destroy anything, or anyone who gets in his way, just to accomplish his goal, to break Batman's personal rules, to never kill or harm anyone, but to save Gotham City from danger and
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
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.
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.
It is easy to see why the Joker strongly believes that a sensible life is created by living by his or her own rules, but he is not right. If everyone lived by their own right and wrong, there would be never-ending chaos in the world. People would be doing what they believe is right, and then they would become angry when someone is unfair or cruel towards them. If everyone had a relativistic view, the universe would never be balanced.
The Joker embodies the shadow in this movie as he has been affected by an extensive amount of suffering from his past, causing him to play out the manic chaos of the ID, and to see himself as the hero of his own fantasy. The Joker personifies the force of the shadow by constantly expressing dark emotions and intentions caused by very deep trauma in his past. His father was abusive to him and his mother, literally scarring him for life. This remains significant to him as he persistently brings up the question “Wanna know how I got these scars?” In addition to this, we constantly see the Joker licking his lips throughout the movie. Of Freud’s psychosexual stages, he is fixated at the oral stage as a result of neglect and being insufficiently nursed as a child. His anxiety persists as a neurosis into his adult life;
Strong-hearted and unafraid, Beowulf’s character is the example of the heroism that many of the characters in novels, movies, and even various of real-life people have aimed at achieving. The iconic hero of The Dark Knight (2008), Bruce Wayne, otherwise known as the “Bat Man”, steps up to protect and save the people of Gotham City. The two of these protagonists are very different- but the similarities they share are key when asking the question: “Are they ‘Epic Heroes’?” Beowulf is emphasized as being a loyal, honest, and strong leader.
Joker’s backstory begins as an engineer who decides to quit his job at Ace Chemicals Co to become a comedian. After failing in his attempt to keep his pregnant wife, Jeannie, afloat, he agrees to help two criminals rob the playing card company next door. The police soon inform the ‘soon-to-be Joker’ of the death of his wife due to a household accident. The other criminals strong-arm him into continuing with the plan. Once at the plant, the criminals make him wear a mask, later recognized as Red Hood. Unknown to the engineer, the disguise is secretly being used by the criminals to frame him for the crime.
There is no character who is really like no other in the world of comic book villains, and that character is the Joker. Which would be hard for a person to actually find a character who is deep and this disturbed in the world of comic book villains? The mind that originated him, Jerry Robinson, must have been a very twisted person, undoubtedly. The Joker represents a theory about existence that part of me believes that all people wish we could embrace in our own way. He is an outrageous character, the stuff he does to other people is the lowest of the lows. The Joker is also a fascinating character, with an interesting world view, which is why he is my favorite villain. He has so many characteristics that make him even more interesting, like his history, his character, and how is he portrayed.
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
“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
