The Joker: Dark Knight Rises

Through these symptoms described, the Joker appears to have an Antisocial Personality Disorder along with schizophrenia. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual states that the criteria for APD are exhibiting at least 3 of the following traits: an inability to follow the social normality’s, when it comes to the law especially if said acts lean toward reasons for arrest. When being deceitful i.e.; lying, conning others, using a name rather than your own. Another trait is to be impulsive (Tang, Jiang, Liao, Wang, & Luo, 2013). The Joker tends to be impulsive when he does large scale jobs. For example, in The Dark Knight he blew up the hospital without any sort of real escape plan, he knew he’d escape but he didn’t have any sort of real plan. Aggressiveness

Let's take a look at Bruce Wayne (Batman).  As a kid, he watched his parents being murdered by a mugger right in front of him and this drove him to fight crime in Gotham City as Batman.  Now we take a look at the Joker was a one-time failed comedian who turned to a life of crime as the Red Hood to support his pregnant wife.  Unfortunately, due to a run-in with Batman, the Red Hood leaped into a chemical vat to escape, thereby disfiguring himself. Combined with the death of his wife, he was driven insane, effectively becoming The Joker.  Each one of these character's are very unique, but in different ways.

As in most Batman films, Joker adds some danger. Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of Joker definitely makes Joker seem crazier and more of a loose cannon. Jack Nicholson played crazy Jack Torrance in The Shining (1980) only nine years before playing Joker in Batman. It could be argued that audiences were so scared of his insane mannerisms as Torrance that their fear carried over when watching him as Joker in Batman. Nicholson does portray Joker as being actually crazy and unpredictable, which keeps the audience on their toes. Nicholson has crazy eyes and does not seem to be someone who is warm and cozy, in fact, he seems the opposite. As an actor, he plays characters that are intense and a little frightening, but that makes him a good actor to play a villain because he has that villainous reputation.

Batman and the Joker are not usually seen as comparable characters. However, there are similarities that are often overlooked. Firstly, one needs to know what their origins are. Joker’s origins are not as well-known and typically never stay the same throughout movies and comics. Batman’s origin is very well-known and typically stays the same throughout movies and comics.

When the Dark knight starts out people have to know the background story of the Batman. When the batman was a little boy he fell into a well, and had seen some bats, which made him scared of bats for life. The boy that fell into the well later was forced to watch his parents getting shot in front of him. The trauma in his childhood caused batman to want to save the people of Gotham from the incidents he went through as a child, so he became the Batman. The Batman consists of a complete head to toe suit of black with a cape of black. The suit has a black bat on the chest and a belt on the waist that is a yellow metallic color. His head has two small “ears” on it to represent bat ears. The Joker has a yellow, white, purple, and green suit. He

There are a lot of great villains out there, but the Joker would have to be the best one. For many reasons, like he has another villain girlfriend. He has not died yet after many battles with Batman. The best reason of all is that he has so many ways to torture Gotham City with his evil tactics.

The Batman solo film is expected to have a big surprise in store for its fans. It is speculated that the film might include several iconic villains, including everyone's favorite, the Joker.

The way Joker was introduced in The Killing Joke was simply amazing. The creators give him a homicidal, psychopathic, ruthless, sadistic, maniacal, lunatic, manipulative, intelligent and diabolical master criminal who wants nothing but chaos and anarchy wherever he goes, as well as reveling in the suffering of others. The Joker is given a high-pitched, comical, bouncy, silly, and over-the-top voice that occasionally stoops down to a slight growl, in accordance to his clown-like appearance and maniacal

The film is focused on the jokers actions and the social toll it takes on the city of Gotham. In the Jokers sequence of crimes he quickly accelerates his crimes from a bank robbery to trying to kill the mayor in a week. The Joker lacks a moral compass and has no connection to the human emotions. This results in a

ways. Just when people start to think that the Joker has finally been defeated, he

Jared Leto has probably given us the most eccentric Joker in live-action films. The DCEU Joker, who first debuted in Suicide Squad (2016) is confirmed to have his own stand-alone film.

When Ledger got the part of the Joker in Dark Knight, he fully invested himself in the character. In this we can begin to see the large shift in his behavior that may have been because of an already brewing disorder inside him. F0r those that don’t know, the Joker is the villain in The Dark Knight, a sadistic clown that wreaks havoc in Gotham. One can begin delving into Ledger’s psyche by looking at how he prepared for his part. His father reported that he had to have been in a hotel for weeks, and indeed Ledger himself reported to Empire Magazine, “I sat

Clown Prince of Crime, Jester of Genocide, Harlequin of Hate, and the Ace of Knaves are all personas adoptable by the Joker himself. This psychopathic clown not only is one of Gotham’s most fearsome villains but is undoubtedly Batman’s largest enemy. Characterizing the portrait of such a foe is a daunting task of itself. Clearly an insane individual, the Joker doesn't omit any clear psychological disorders. Like most psychopaths, he lacks a conscience, empathy, and any sort of discernment between right and wrong. He adapts to any situation by manifesting his personality to suit his needs and how it benefits him. He crosses over from psychopathic killer to loony clown with ease.

One of the Joker’s great scenes in which he tries to put Batman to the test is in the many and countless situations in which the Joker tries to get Batman to kill him. The Joker almost gets Batman to kill him many times such as in the interrogation room, on the street when Batman is on the motorcycle, when the Joker is hanging upside down from Batman’s hand off of a ledge of a building, etc. Batman’s one rule is that he will not kill anyone, as seen in the rest of the movie. The only thing that makes the Joker different from

The Dark Knight is the second movie of a trilogy about the caped crusader himself, Batman. The Dark Knight begins with Bruce Wayne, a rich heir to Wayne Enterprises and now head man for the business, portraying a busy life while secretly fighting crime in Gotham city as Batman. Bruce Wayne has a love interest in a woman and childhood friend of Rachel that was introduced in the first movie of the trilogy. Rachel is aware that Wayne is Batman. Bruce keeps from being in a relationship with Rachel due to the risks to her life if someone were to find out that he is Batman. Also, it was to save her from heartache knowing that each night he goes out could be the last he lives. The main antagonist of the movie is the villain Joker. Not much of a storyline about his past is present in the movie and he is mostly an enigma. The main things we learn about the Joker’s past are from a scene with Wayne in his bat cave
