The Joker : The Nemesis Of Batman

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

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

The Joker has become a modern myth that exposes our innermost brittleness as a society, which, in some profound way, has come as a form of philosophical and political catharsis allowing us to reconsider the systems we hold dear. The Joker is a symbol of a new form of thinking. His methods, though subversive and excessive, are not irrational but rather well considered - he has a better understanding of the sane man than what we give him credit for. However, though his philosophy is profound, we cannot live in a world with no rules – we would live in a modern day ‘Lord of the Flies’. Thus, it becomes important that we find an antithesis of such a philosophy to stabilize society; Batman was certainly a suitable candidate. Batman is the masked vigilante who wishes to remove fear by restoring justice and confidence in the systems in Gotham. His philosophy is very reliant on the established systems and has great trust in them, though he operates outside of those systems. The psychological similarities of Batman and the Joker are apparent and suggest that both characters are ignoble; each has come from some trauma. However, the complementary differences in their respective philosophies are more dissonant – one believes in the power of society and

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.

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

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 a wicked appearance that makes people fear him because he looks like a maniac that should be in rehab or somewhere isolated from everyone. he has haggard green hair that looks like he hasn't showered in a couple months. he paints his face white with black circles around his eyes and red lipstick on his lips and cheeks where his scars are to make him look like he always has a smile on his face. he wears a purple suit that makes him look ridiculous and when he's shirtless he has "HAHAHA" tattooed all over his body. all these characteristics together make up a scary looking villain.

The craziest most outrageous killer in comic history Joker. Joker is Batman's archenemy because Joker has killed numerous of Batman's family members and killed many other hero's and villains. Joker was brought to the seen in 1940 by Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, and Bill Finger. Kane and Robinson claim responsibility for the design of Joker the serial killer. Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind. Joker was a goofy prankster in the late 1950's but then If you didn't know Joker fell into a tank of chemical waste which bleaches his skin white, turns his hair green, and his lips bright red. After that tragedy of falling into a container of chemical waste it drives him insane. Then introduced as a psychopath with a warped, bizarre sense of humor, before returning to his darker roots during the early 1970's.

“We look up at the same stars, and see such different things,” George R.R Martin. This quote in addition to courage creates a whole new world to me. It made me think about how many different ways courage can be portrayed. Along with the way the person’s personality might change that perspective even more. As we had the class discussion on the summer reading books and made connections to courage, some thoughts went through my head. I wondered if the people around me thought the same things about courage. One kid brought up Hitler and that people think that Hitler was courageous for what he did. I started to consider heroes and villains, like Batman and The Joker. Their perspective might be that The Joker is more courageous than Batman. I realized that all this had to do with people’s perspectives.

havoc that he has caused. In the scene at the end where Joker burns the Mob,s money we can

and it is nearly impossible to find another character who is on the same level of insanity. The Joker is a fictional supervillain created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson who first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book Batman (April 25, 1940), published by DC Comics.This character represents a theory about existence that part of me believes that all people wish we could embrace, in our own way. The joker is someone who represents physical evil. He is just about the most horrifying thing a humans despise. The belief that nothing matters the fact that there life has no meaning. The Joker represents our cultures biggest fear, insecurities, and

First of all, there is an argument as to where he actually came from. Different movies and comics have had different points of view. There is no back-story for his character. "The Joker has always had a durable history of crime, of course,

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

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.

A really popular question today is whether or not Batman should kill the Joker. The stance that I take on this situation is that Batman should not kill the Joker. First of all, it’s been a never ending battle so who knows if it will actually ever stop. Secondly, one would have to wonder why they fight in the first place. If they would just stop fighting, then no one would have to be killed. My final reason is that the Joker is no use to Batman. Batman should go find another villain worthy of fighting and for not just for a foolish reason. Batman takes time and effort to fight the Joker and for what reason? Exactly, there is no reason. For these reasons I will now explain in depth so you can know why I truly think that Batman should
