Joker Villain

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 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

Now with that out of the way let's go over his traits and personality, so he’s rude, cocky, arrogant, and rude from time to time. There is an example of him being selfish in “The Dark Knight” when Joker crashes his fundraiser for Harvey Dent, so Bruce goes to a private area because there’s a secret batcave there and two people ask to go in thinking that it is a safe room.

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

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 thrives on being chaotic and trying to turn the world upside down. At several points during the movie, he explains his origin, but each time tells a different story. Sociopaths also tend to see themselves as a product of society and social factors. They are that way because everything and everyone around them shaped them to be that way. The Joker’s origin stories all revolve around an unfortunate situation giving him his “scars” and slowly transforming him into the monster that he is.

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.

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.

One of the most commonly known origins of the Joker is the one that is featured in Batman: Killing Joke, The Issue #1. In the comic, during flashbacks, the Joker is an unnamed engineer who has quit his job at a chemical plant to pursue his dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian. Knowing that he is not great at his job, his pregnant wife, Jeannie, confronts him and tells him that with that job, he will not make enough money to pay the rent or support

The Joker is the antagonist in the comic book Batman and is renowned as Batman’s greatest enemy. He is an extreme psychopath, with genius-level intelligence and a sadistic sense of humor. He falls into a vat of chemicals which bleaches his skin, colors his hair green and his lips red, and drives him insane. He is disguised as the criminal Red Hood, and pursued by Batman. The Joker commits whimsical, brutal crimes. He is considered to be Batman’s perfect adversary.

Batman can not bring himself as a person, or as his alter ego, to kill the Joker. Batman, honestly, will not let him go. They are in a deeper and more unfathomable battle of storytelling that anyone could ever imagine. The Joker has made many attempts to break Batman into lunacy, he sees Batman as a person that is no better than him. He wants Batman to show his true colors and prove to everyone that all it takes is one bad day to get the monster deep down inside of them to come out. On the other hand, Batman wants to believe that he is not like the Joker, in fact he believes that he is better than him. Batman will not break because he also knows that the Joker embodies him as well, and brings out the best him. Batman can not let that go. The

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.

The Joker holds a strength of being persistent in the things he does. He makes sure that his plans will turn out as how he planned it to be. Even though there were complication in between, he makes sure he finds alternatives to get his job done. Take for an example, when the top mob members of the Gotham city were having a meeting discussing about the illegal money stash has been tracked down by the police officers. Joker shows up and proposed a plan to help the mobsters to find a better way to deal with their business in the future which includes in killing Batman and by taking half cut of the money as reward. Because Gambol thinks that the plan was ridiculous, they declined it and threatened to kill The Joker. This however did not stop him. He took the alternative in pretending to be killed by other gang members just so he could get closer to Gambol, to show that he has power to order people to do things for him

“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
