We've been talking a LOT about the Joker lately, but today we are shifting focus to a different version of our smiling bad guy. The Heath Ledger version of the Joker from Christopher Nolan's Batman movie, The Dark Knight. I rewatched it recently and started to wonder, have we misunderstood this story the whole time? Could the Joker actually be the HERO of Gotham City, not Batman? We shall see, Theorists!

    Considering the jokers scars are likely a result of combat. Not because of a drunk father or self inflicted for his wife. His ability to tactically plan out operations , knowledge with weapons , explosives and ability to drive a large truck which requires experience and normally a CDL to be capable of . All points to a veteran who came home to find his home being controlled by thugs and mobsters with corrupt officials turning a blind eye to the problems. His wife he speaks of likely killed herself or was killed for outstanding debts to the scum of Gotham. That is likely what set an otherwise peaceful veteran off. And created this version of the joker. As he seems to have nothing but hate and disdain for thugs and mobsters . His actions show this throughout the movie.

    Well this just makes so much sense and gives me even more reason to love the joker as a “villain”. These kind of superhero stories have always irritated me in that the “hero” spends their time fighting crime and putting the bad guys in jail when there’s generally a much larger underlying reason for such crime in the first place. They have all of the resources and means to be able to eradicate crime from the bottom up but get fixated on the more surface level petty crimes that they don’t see the big picture. This take on the story where the joker is actually the “hero” perfectly reflects a lot of the pretences and issues in our society. Also, it totally makes sense to call the joker a consequentialist in his beliefs rather than just a crazy man who’s sole goal is chaos (though there’s no denying that he isn’t entirely sane). We even studied scenes of this film when doing a lesson about utilitarianism is religious studies.

    Imagine a sophisticated A.I. forecasting system that's connected to swaths of personal data and financial records. You ask it to solve a problem that nobody's been able to so far, like 'saving Gotham' or whatever. What do you think the probability is that it would suggest a plan of action that wasn't so completely bonkers that nobody's tried it, before? If anything, what we've learned here is that nurse cosplay is an undeniable force to be reckoned with. Alternating between that and evil clown make-up just kicks it up to 11.

    exactly, Joker is not an agent of chaos or even "not afraid of death" he just wants others to think that he is. This is how he is able to get out of the mob meeting because everyone there thinks that Joker is crazy and will not mind killing himself with them. He created a reputation for himself so everyone thinks of him a certain way to distract from his actual plan (First impression is the last impression). People to label things a certain way so as to not spend mental energy thinking about it, and everyone thinks of Joker as the crazy person who is just doing it for the lols (what Alfred and Bruce think of Joker) and because of this categorization he never acts the way people expects him to, he seems chaotic.

    So he’s saying he knows he’s the villain. Maybe in a broader sense the Joker really is just an extremely ill man and Batman can’t kill him because he’s morally opposed to killing an ill person, but no effort to lock him up works, and this quote is his acknowledgment that he’s the villain because he’d rather save his own conscious by not killing the Joker, which thereby allows many people to get hurt as a result.

    I think you missed the most important part. The Ferries, i think that was the ultimate test for Joker to see if the city was worth saving. If either ferry blew up, it meant the people of Gotham had been corrupted and Joker would've probably given up and let Batman take him into custody with Harvey killing Gordon's family and effectively plunging the city into chaos. Joker let Batman know because the ferries reaffirmed the idea the city could be fixed. Like in Joker's "Everybody loses there minds" speech the idea is that Gotham should fundamentally realize the weight of every single life, from the gang bangers to soldiers. The message in the ferry scene is that the lives aboard are equal regardless if your a petty criminal or a scared civilian. The Joker's line about liking knifes because it allows the Joker to be more intimate with his victim then a gun, he understands the purpose and weight of every single murder he commits.

    The Joker's joke was on society. What he wanted was proof that everyone can be a murderer and psychopath like he is. And when that didn't work, he told batman about harvey dent, because he knew if he could have gotham, he'd have at least batman. The Joker is not a hero, not even an anti-hero. He accidentally saved a city when he tried to destroy it, all because he thought it would be a funny joke. THAT is the Joker.

    @@Cajek2 he's not responsible for the crime, only the escalation of it. Even in the comics whenever Batman's villains have a meet up they OFTEN talk about how the only reason they have gone as far with their evil plans is because batman pushed them to that degree of desperation. An example, at one point Mr. Freeze tried to freeze the world as part of a larger scheme... he stated he only attempted that because he knew batman would stop him (because deep down he knows the implication would be dire for humanity and he is not really a "bad guy morally") and that his "real goal" was just to secure stolen funding/materials along the way to keep his wife alive... which he also accomplished. In that same comic poison ivy remarks that while she's tried multiple times to wipe out humanity to make room for her plants she'd ideally be willing to settle if humanity would just stop destroying the rain forests/polluting and allowed her to grow plants capable of defending themselves there. Since she knows batman will stop her anyway she feels pressured to step up her threats so that people take her message seriously should she ever HAPPEN to win.

    Cajek Batman is not responsible for crime, he is the incentive that drove crime, which is why his retirement was indeed the solution to crime in Gotham.

Regardless, that was kind of the entire point of not only Dark Knight, but Dark Knight Rises.

This theory is nice cause it adds a level of dignity to his already awesome legacy. Besides Joker he had such a diverse and dynamic acting career, I don’t mean to digress but I loved him as Casanova. But personally he was the Joker I was exposed to, grew up with and I’m grateful. That talented man gave this character his all and it shows, absolutely amazing performance and wonderful theory. Also I’m glad you hired the man who made that popular theory. I love seeing my boys cop the bag, hope y’all are doing well. Anyways, sorry for the rant if you read this far have a blessed day you wonderful child of light. I love you.

What did you think you were going to watch? And wdym he sounds gay? That's his voice in the movie, just because someone has a higher pitched voice doesn't suddenly make them gay, and the way that he acts and dances is just how he is, I mean he is crazy after all, why would you expect him to act like a normal person would.

    Yeah - that Dude at the beginning is like “My dogs are hungry!” Part of Joker’s world view is that people have a dog eat dog mentality. Joker set out to prove that people will destroy others to protect their own best interests and there is no social responsibility to community. Batman’s / Bruce’s contention is that there are still good people in Gotham - like the vast MINORITY 😕 of the Gothamites on the boat that voted against blowing up the criminals. And there are some good police as Gordon remains unfailingly selfless throughout the Trilogy. There’s also the scene where Joker threatens to cut that same mobster up into little pieces and feed him to his hungry pooches which again signifies the point that the dogs will not be loyal to their master when push comes to shove. It’s a pretty descriptive graphic 😳. One wonders if he did exactly that. Either way, Joker has those dogs working for him at the end in the skyscraper when he sics them on Batman. Even the police have their dogs that chase Batman after he tells Gordon to “call it in”. At that point I’m reminded of exactly what you said about Joker comparing himself to a dog chasing cars - so it’s almost like the Joker is personified by those police dogs which have switched loyalties like their masters as they chased Batman to his Batpod - and into that eight year long retirement. Joker won. Yeah Nolan has a whole “dog eat dog / there’s no such thing as real, lasting loyalty” motif going on in this movie. It’s brilliant because humanity already accepts that a dog can be and most often is the MOST unquestionably loyal form of life on the planet - but you have the Joker subverting that idea and putting humanity on trial by saying we’re no better than a pack of hungry dogs. So why should Batman be putting himself out for Gotham? That’s what Joker is basically saying to him in the interrogation room at MCU.

    My favorite Joker moment in Dark Knight was when he's talking to Batman saying "When the chips are down, these "civilized " people? They'll eat each other." Which is actually more true than most think; we act civilized but when everything goes to sh*t, as we see in almost every apocalypse-type movie, people turn on one another. It's self preservation at its core.

Moriarty is also somewhat timeless for the same reason and it was vital for Doyle to make Moriarty to provide a good villain for Holmes. We don't actually like good superheroes. We like relatable superheroes that overcome through provoking and genuinely unsettling villains.

The large majority of moving from one given spot to another in any non-super closed in crime environment, he has some gadget to propel or pull him. He uses his vehicles like crazy. He lifts weights and bangs out push ups, but apparently dude never does ANY cardio. He's legitimately constantly out of breath.
