The Joker
My favorite villain was probably The Joker, because he is highly intelligent, he has no levels, there is no limit to what he is capable of doing. I think the Joker won in the end because he seriously did some serious damage. He got what he wanted he turned Gotham’s hero into a villain, and he ruined Wayne’s life by taking the people he cared about the most. In the first movie the Dark night the Joker made such of a big of an impact that it went on in The Batman Rises. But then again, like the Joker said "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object" Which means it is in deadlock. No one is winning, no one is losing. The Joker isn’t the toughest or biggest villain but yet he is the most dangerous. I think it’s the fact that he is so intelligent that makes him so dangerous, because a fist fight between Batman and The Joker there is no doubt who would win. The Joker has his every move well planned, he always has a plan. So he always has a clean getaway. Maybe that’s why he is my favorite, everything he does is so suspenseful. You literally don’t know what to expect. Now Bane is a different villain who comes out in the Dark Night Rises he is not my favorite. Yeah I get it he is super strong. But he really isn’t that smart though. Bane leaves things by taking chances, which is really not a smart idea. If it wasn’t for his super muscles or Talia by his side, Bane really isn’t much of a dangerous guy. The only reason why Bane got so far was because Wayne was going through so much at that time. Batman goes through some crucial moments throughout The Batman Rises, Bruce has fallen from the invested physical ability of being Batman. He suffers from cartilage deficiency, but not only that, Wayne is also going through some mental and emotional state having to go through the loss of his love and the betrayal of his butler. If anything, it shows Bruce’s initial unwillingness to heal, mentally or physically. But at the end he overcomes is when

    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,…

    And the characters keep getting creepier. Gotham does a great job in eliciting discomfort. The guns, uncomfortable hospital-lighting, blinking lights, and their themes and outfits are eerie. This discomfort is part of why this show is clever and pulls you into seeing more. Guns and black are epitomes of power in this film; a symbol because guns are Batman's most hated weapon.…

    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.…

    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…

    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…

    It’s true that Batman is only human, albeit a near perfect one. He is limited by his body to extinct requires food and sleep. He doesn’t serve to have any magic as well. The bat suit was designed to fight crime and is resistant to impact and fire. It offers very little protection against magical attacks and mind-altering abilities. But one of the most important ability that can strike Batman weakness is not having his utility belt. Without his belt, you will not see any flying gadgets, weaponry, etc. As though Gotham City is in good hands, we enroll to see what the Man without fear serves at Hellʻs…

    Batman vs the Joker

    If you kill one to save many you still deserve the title killer. However, many of us in the Batman fan club feel that the Joker no longer deserves to live. If Batman killed him he would be doing the world a justice. But after he eliminates the enemy do we suddenly have to start looking at him as the enemy also? Although he would have taken only one life compared to the many lives the Joker has taken it still would make him similar to the Joker in a way Batman does not want to be associated with.…

    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”.…

    I wish I could meet director Chris Nolan so I could shake his hand for rescuing the Batman franchise from its shlock purgatory that was Schumacher-Land. Hats (and cowls) off to underappreciated actor Christian Bale, who filled in the Batsuit quite nicely (and his gravelly Batman voice was spot on!), but more importantly, he gave both Bruce Wayne and Batman true character. And of course I also applaud the excellent supporting cast of acting greats: Liam Neeson shows that he's not just wise old mentor material (the twist at the end surprised and impressed me-- who would have thunk it? Ra's al Ghul is IRISH!:p), Michael Caine shows why he's the obvious and really only choice to play wry, reliable Alfred, Morgan Freeman shows how an understated, classy performance can be memorable, and Gary Oldman shows an entirely new (at least new to me) facet of his acting prowess by turning in what I think is the real breakthrough performance in the movie. It was kind of freaky seeing someone who usually plays scary, psycho villains transform…

    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.…
