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. With simple research it is not hard to figure out that Ledger took the approach of method acting for his roles. For any of you who don’t know the term, method acting is a technique
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.

In the exposition “Should Batman Kill the Joker?, ” Mark D. White and Robert Arp bring up the idea that certain situations within pop culture can be comparable to real-world problems. Moreover, the writers prove this idea by analyzing whether batman should kill the joker or not, and then compared the arguments of this analysis to reasoning that can be given to the debate of whether Americans should use torture against terrorists or not. Although I agree with the writers’ idea that comparing pop culture to real life could bring useful insight for real-world problems, I feel that others may disagree with my point of view since pop culture cannot always translate well to real-life. As a result, it is important to point out that the writers stated
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.

Reaper Joker may seem unique, but I think a lot of people can relate to him. I have no intention of sounding egotistical, but watching the Joker explain himself was really almost a perfect description of how I feel day after after day. The repetition of walking down my path in life appears endless, yet I continually force myself down it not knowing where I'm going, I still look for the person that can walk down the same path to this day and sometimes I wish I had the luxury of being able to escape the stress and depression into insanity. Yet I know that this is all only artificial perception which has no real purpose, so I just follow what interests me and occasionally obsess over these "special" things I find. I've made it my goal to scientifically
Whether you call it true love or a case of Stockholm Syndrome, one thing you can’t deny is Harley Quinn and the Joker have one of the most complex and complicated romantic relationship portrayed in the comic industry. Their relationship is so intertwined writers have stated that it’s hard to write Harley without the Joker, but not the other way around. You can’t have Harley without the Joker, but Joker without Harley is a common occurrence. It is like that relationship, whether viewed as an abusive-stockholmesk relationship or a consensual-sadomasochist relationship (which is to the discretion of the reader); it is what has defined her character for years. Until, July of this year the DC universe answered the longstanding question: “Is Harley
When you think of psychology what is the the first name that comes to mind? My guess is that you thought of Sigmund Freud. Even though none of his theories of dreams or sexuality have any empirical evidence, he is still one of the most influential figures in all of philosophy. One of Freud’s ideas that does have substance is the idea that our minds are dynamic and contain both conscious and unconscious memories, thoughts, and desires. Freud labeled these phenomena the id, ego, and superego. While the nuances of this theory are complex and somewhat monotonous, they are brought to life in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. The chaotic and childish joker (id), the pure and valiant Harvey Dent (superego), and the one responsible for finding a balance between the two, Batman (ego).
In the film, The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan, The Joker, one of Batman's most dangerous enemies whose aim is too push Batman to his ultimate limits, to break his personal rules and strict moral code. This, being the Jokers only reason to live, he has no fear of death and pain. The Joker is characterised as a calculating and logical criminal, a rebel with minimal empathy or moral and a nemesis who commits purposeless crime. Together these characteristics are developed through specific and appropriate use of technical aspects, such as, camera movement, camera angles, props and dialogue. Together these techniques create a character who is an extraordinary to watch, as he causes chaos in Gotham City, all to get
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
Heath Ledger was a famous actor who is most known for his untimely death at the age of twenty-eight. Although some speculate that his death was sudden, not many people know that Ledger suffered from drug use, alcoholism, and insomnia.

“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
