Joker: Death In The Family

He gets a phone call from a person identifying himself as Snitch aka ( Lloyd Williams) who tells the officer, "Trust me, Batman and Robin are planning to start a huge narcotics smuggling ring. They 've already imported more than 100 kilos of cocaine and are planning to slowly put them on the street through Drugger, using one of their erstwhile adversaries."

In the conclusion of Batman: Year One, James Gordon sees a motorcycle entering the parking garage of where he lives and he becomes very suspicious of who this random person on the motorcycle is. It is later decided that a few scenes, the mystery man on the motorcycle is in fact Bruce Wayne/Batman and he is chasing an antagonist by the name of Vitti who is trying to escape from Batman. Vitti is running off with a baby and wants to throw the baby over the side of the bridge but then when Batman finds out that Vitti is going to do that, he comes to the rescue and saves the baby. James Gordon, who again is Batman’s partner, realizes that he is standing in front of Batman who is unmasked but since he does not have his glasses on, Gordon cannot see exactly who is in front of him. While Bruce Wayne is leaving at the end of the scenes of the comic, he meets back up with Gordon to discuss The Joker who is planning on poisoning the main reservoir in Gotham City (Miller, Mazzucchelli, pg. 90-96).

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.

Major Quincy Sharp declares that both Blackgate Penitentiary and Arkham Asylum has failed. To remedy the situation, he has purchased Arkham's worst slums and reconfigured them into a prison city he christens Arkham City. He nominates psychiatrist Hugo Strange to oversee the prison, and it is he who incarcerates Bruce Wayne on suspicions of being the vigilante Batman. When inside Arkham City, Joker captures Batman and forces him to undergo a blood transfusion. Joker then informs Batman that the unstable components of the Titan formula he injected himself with are slowly killing him. To make matters worse, he goes on to explain that he has sent his infected blood to several of Gotham's

For many years, every single comic book lover knew the incredible history of Batman and the Joker. The two are the most known superhero and supervillain duo out there. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Batman decided to kill the joker? Would it actually be a better place if he did decide to kill him? How would it affect Batman? This subject has a great deal of evidence on both side whether he should or should not. The question digs deep inside of the mind of Batman and how he could feel along with what the outcome would be. There are so many questions that need to be answered for those questions. I believe that he is better off leaving him alive rather than dead and here is why.

Many assume that to get from one point to another, similar paths are typically taken. Both the Joker from the Dark Knight and the Islamic state bring chaos into the world with the intention to ultimately cleanse the world of its sinners and uncover what they believe the truth of humanity is. Yet the Joker, however, believes he unveils the truth while ISIS believes they exterminate the lies. Circumstances such as these are similar in its root while opposite in its execution.

Batman contradicts his morals while he is fighting the mutant leader and when he is about to shoot him he stops himself with “though that means crossing a line I drew for myself thirty years ago”. While Batman did not kill the mutant leader, earlier on Batman shoots a mutant grunt with a machine gun and faded blood is splattered behind the criminal holding a baby captive (Miller, 64). Later on in the novel Batman says to the joker “a gun is a coward’s weapon, a liars weapon” (Miller, 149). Batman has power to stick to his morals, to take on the evil of Gotham City, and to make the decision to deliver justice no matter whose side of the law he is. However, in the novel he has clearly stated that killing someone crosses his morals and that he despises guns yet he uses them to kill criminals. Batman crosses his golden rule of not killing criminals and shows that he will go above his own moral code of justice.

There are two main characters that the storyline revolves around, Batman and the Joker. Batman serves as the guardian of Gotham City. The Joker, however, stands as the villain who strives to create a world of chaos. Hobbes’ theory on state of nature says that society is the sole reason that humans act civilized. Hobbes’ believes in the “state of war,”, which is a way of life that is proven to be brutal and short. The Joker’s main goal is to prove that people have the natural capability to do evil. While he attempts to prove this throughout his many twisted plans, he is driven to eliminate the one thing that keeps Gotham City from turning hopeless and chaotic, Batman. Without its protector, Gotham City would soon turn to a “state of war.” Hobbes’ also says, “Fear makes natural man want to escape the

By them faking Batman they could have gotten themselves injured. In the movie, he explains how he does not want people dressing up as him because it is too dangerous and that is not the point he wanted to make when he created his persona. If a crime had been committed Batman would be there and save the people who were getting affected by the crime. One thing he believed in was people do have good in them, which was proven correct at the end of the movie ultimately. The Joker wanted to reveal the Dark Knight and ended up playing a catch and mouse game with him. The Joker caused chaos in Chicago which made things harder for Batman. and made people leave through a ferry. The joker has placed a bomb on both boats, which one is full of prisoners and the second boat is accompanied will innocent civilians. He gets on the P.A. system and tells both boats there are bombs and only one ferry can survive. Society on both boats went back and forth on pushing the button to blow the other boat up. Both boats were left at an ultimatum and the utilitarians belief is introduced. People had to choose what is in the better interest for the greater good. The ferry full of civilians

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

It really captured him in the best way possible. The film showed a brilliant criminal mind who got bored doing what normal criminals do. His apathy led him to seek out Batman. He spent the whole movie just trying to make a point that Batman was just as corruptible as the rest of us. He nearly destroyed half of Gotham to in the process, but that was the extent of what he wanted to do. The little dialogue between Batman and the Joker at the police station showed it best. He didn't care about anything, other than chaos. The Joker is a purification about the dark side of a part of us that we don't acknowledge. He is part of the darker side of the way of thinking, not only does he not wants to follow the rules of society, but he actively seeks to destroy the rules as we understand them. In his mind, chaos is the only actual truth in the

Now I know it has been a while since the tragic death of Heath Ledger, but after watching The Dark Knight a couple days ago I felt the need to dig more into the effects the Joker had on Ledger. This confirmed my opinion that the Joker did indeed kill Ledger. Now I don’t mean the Joker, a fictional character literally killed him, but then again I don't exactly mean it in a completely figurative sense either. I did of course, choose to use the word “opinion” because no one truly knows what sent the actor over the edge. At the end of the day it is all simply speculation.

At that point, according to the Joker, they drop their phony façade and behave like the chaotic, selfish animals that we all are. I submit that his motivation is to conduct social experiments to prove himself correct- that at the core people are controlled by their own selfish needs (while he is only controlled by his own delusion of pretentiousness). He has two men fight to the death with one sharp stick between them. He gives two boatloads of people the detonator to bombs on the other ship. He tells Batman that if he [Batman] wants to catch him [the Joker], that he’s going to have to break his One Rule that was brought up at the end of the first movie—to not kill.

First, The Joker is a better villain because he is more realistic than the Green Goblin. He came to be by his own choice. The Green Goblin came to be because he took a performance-enhancing drug with insanity inducing side effects, which he did not even know the drug would cause. How can The Green Goblin be the better Supervillain when he didn’t even want to be one in the first place? The Joker is also more realistic because while the Goblin steals flying boards and other weapons that could not possibly exist, The Joker sticks with real weapons such as knives, chemicals, guns, and in a resourceful moment, a pencil. With the uses of these weapons, The Joker becomes not just a fear on the big screen, but a fear that can stay with you when you

Batman informed the Teen Titans of the location. They raced there to find Harley Quinn and Joker torturing Superman with Kryptonite. Superman was only slightly injured but very weakened from the Kryptonite being held in Joker’s hand. The Teen Titans split up to distract Joker so Beastboy and Robin could take him out first. Joker wasn’t easily distracted though. He tried using his laughing gas on Beastboy and Robin so he would have time to get to his gun but even though he was laughing, Robin was able to wrestle the gun away from him. Robin and Beastboy tied the Joker to a concrete post in the
