There is no shortage of villains in the world of films but the ultimate villain has to be the Joker in The Dark Knight. Batman and The Joker 's character traits isn 't what makes them so vastly different, it is their perspectives and the way they use that cleverness both of them possess. The Joker’s madness is not limited to gun power because the Joker’s most effective weapon is his evil mastermind. When one first catches a glimpse of the Joker, fright will surely ensue.

"Using promiscuity is just the catch to working up to the position an executive superhero obtains" I'd thought, but clearly my potential had lacked in such a drift. Evolving into a tight-fitting, pitch-black bodysuit used to everlastingly depict Batman as an adversary, I had maintained my prevalence in my every attribute.

Batman then enters Joker 's patient room, where batman is fooled into thinking Joker is dead when he sees a Joker dummy attached to a flat-lining vitals monitor. Surprise!

through this report that Anti-heroes are more than just vigilantes, more than a villainous hero. That they 're admirable people that just use unjustified methods to save those who need saving. I hope to do this by using the Anti-heroes in the films; Batman directed by Christopher Nolan, James Bond - Casino Royal directed by Martin Cambell, Iron Man directed by Jon Favreau, and Arrow directed and created by D.C. and C.W. The theme I chose is 'anti-heroes - doing good behind the bad ', as I believe
