The main antagonist of the Dark Knight is the Joker. The Joker makes his debut in the opening scene, which is one of the best bank robbery scenes ever shot. Not only does The Joker rob the bank, he does so in a way in which all his criminal accomplices murder each other one by one thinking that they’ll get a bigger cut if they do. From this scene you might think that the joker is motivated by money. However, that’s not true at all. He robbed the mobs bank so he can manipulate the mob as he pleases and cause more chaos and destructions, which he does later into the movie. When Alfred and Bruce discuss what motivates of the Joker Alfred replies ”Some Men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned,…
Each villain comes closer to their epic growth, which lands them a mark in eternity at Batman's villains. Ra's Al Ghul continues to manipulate and play with Bruce Wayne, which, although so troubling for a young boy to grow through, this is significant in his development into Batman.…
The Joker displays qualities of the new type of villain authors/ directors like to use. The Joker’s method of terrorizing people is very strange. None of his actions are explained, which makes him incredibly mysterious. One example of his strangeness is his scars on the sides of his mouth. Each time he tells a different story of how he got them. He is a stock character, meaning there was no information on his origins, we, the audience, just knew what kind of character he was…obviously, completely insane. The Joker’s ways of attack are very strategic and clever. You, as the audience, never know what he will do next and whatever he does, he always makes you jump. His way of life is that with rules, life is boring.…
On the other hand in Batman the dark knight the “Joker” represent evil, chaos and anarchy, the Joker has no purpose in this movie but to create chaos in the city “Joker: Oh, you. You just couldn’t let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptible, aren’t you? Huh? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” Here the Joker is expressing his feelings towards batman and he says that he does not want to kill batman because he’s having too much fun, meaning that he wishes to continue creating chaos in order for Batman can be there to stop him or interrupt him. This shows that the Joker only seeks chaos and destruction and represents darkness in “Batman the dark knight” such as the witches also represent darkness and chaos in “Macbeth”.…
The superhero universe is one that is vast and complex. Although my passion is helping others, if I could switch places with a superhero or villain of my choosing, I wouldn't hesitate to select a villain. More specifically, I would pick Harley Quinn. Although ostensibly, Harley is an obsessed psychopath who goes to great lengths just for her significant other, the Joker, her character goes much deeper. Harley, unlike most superheroes and villains, who are simply concerned with world domination or saving the world as a whole, is aware of social issues that are brought up today. For example, in one episode of the Batman television show, a police asks Harley to read him his rights in a sexual context, and she proceeds to teach him a lesson. Harley…
A sociopath is a person with an antisocial personality, usually a criminal who lacks a sense of moral responsibility. In the comic book, television show and movies; the character the Joker is the king of Sociopaths. He again and again commits crimes with no hint of remorse. The Joker has much charm. He charmed his way into convincing a psychiatric counselor into letting him out of his holding cell. He convinced her that they were meant for each other. This same psychiatric counselor would end up being his infamous partner in crime Harley Quin, who continually falls for the Joker’s charm. The Joker is very manipulative as well. He believes that no one else in the world matters except himself and Batman.…
Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman The World’s Greatest Detective or The Dark Knight, is best described as an archetypal hero. Batman, the common favorite of comic book nerds, depicts many of the characteristics of an archetypal hero.…
The joker is one of the most popular villain's to this day. He is well known for causing chaos and anarchy, he doesn't have a purpose to why he's always causing trouble he just does it out of entertainment.

The characteristics between the joker and batman are somewhat similar but very different from each other. The joker has many reason's why he doesn't like batman but the joker never tries to kill him.…
Batman should actually kill the Joker to prevent himself from becoming the bad guy. He should be the hero, save the city, and sleep with a clear…
First of all, from “utilitarianism” aspect, Joker is probably deserved to be killed because his death may save more people lives. Secondly/Moreover, on the issue of “deontology” and the action of “murder”, the death of Joker might be preferable or even desirable or acceptable as it seems that Joker should accept the punishment by law or official rather than “vigilante justice”. This is because Joker is created and considered as an “evil” character in the movie/story; yet, he is still a human being who should receive the basic human right and dignity as well as respect. However/last but not the least, the character “Batman” instead of “Joker” is the main discussion from the aspect of “virtue ethics” in the final perspectives. The question is: if Batman kills the Joker, is there any guarantee that all problems can be solved out in Gotham City? Also, it is against one of Batman’s personal principles—to take/have “his enemies’ lives”.…
The Joker, Batman's nemesis, is far from a golden example of good. In fact, he's more of a madman out to watch the world burn as he causes chaos, which he calls “justice”. And even though he is evil and madness incarnate, there's still a place for him in people's minds under the category of awesome. From the show Supernatural, the fallen angel, Lucifer enjoys torturing, killing and bringing on the apocalypse. Nonetheless, he's a major character and has a beloved place within the heart of the fandom.…
As Mark D. White said in his essay, “Does Batman want to be the kind of person that takes his enemies’ lives? If Batman killed the Joker, would he be able to stop there, or would every two-bit thug get the same treatment” (547)? White felt it would not be the right thing for Batman to do by killing the Joker or any other villain. White thought that if Batman were to kill the villains that would make Batman become a killer also. Even though Batman would be killing the villains for the safety of the people of the community, it would not make him any better than the villains…
He understands what’s coming to him and expects the unexpected in many scenarios. He even has a contingency plan in case of The Justice League is under controlled. Another trait that he serves is physical and mental conditioning. Let’s face it, Batmanʻs body functions is at the peak of the human condition; meaning that your natural capabilities are near superhuman. Despite not having any superpowers, he is a master martial artist and acrobat. As being said earlier, Batman was trained by the League of Shadows that led him to be very skilled in knowing each pressure point in the human body as well as being an excellent strategist, swordsman, tactician, and…
Joker is a very strong villain. He is a physically strong character because he can fight and he runs Ace Chemicals which deals with very toxic chemicals so he must have a very strong immune system and a good ability to stay strong.He is also mentally strong for instance he is a psychopath which means not to many people can tell what he is thinking or how he will try to fight back. He is a very smart character which can be a huge advantage. The joker can rig traps and create bombs and other tortuous…
* Batman works in a very different way. The Dark Knight considers his targets to be any form of bad guy. His enemies range from the murderer or serial murderer to a simple robber. Of course as with any hero there are always one or more mortal enemies that keep the story exciting and deadly. In Batman’s case, there is The Joker, his most famous enemy, as well as a large set of other less famous enemies, who have become essential…
