The Dark Knight Epitome Scene for Joker?

[slevinkelevra]

the interrogation scene hands down, joker is always taking a beating from batman and acting like it doesnt affect him at all, he enjoys it. there is so much to get out of that scene, let alone heath performance, that it is ridiculous.

He delivered all of his lines with perfection, and I also liked the scene where he explains to the officer why he uses knives. It really showed how he could get into people's heads.

Most of the criticisms of the Joker are valid to a point; they just tend to be little more than superficial, however.

There are details that Nolan didn't include, like the Joker venom, but the core of the character is there like it's never been before. The psychological profile of Nolan's Joker is the summation of every great version of the character. His take on the world, his relationship with Batman - it was the epitome of who the Joker is.

As much as I love him, I didn't get that from Nicholson's Joker. He got all those superficial details right, but he always felt like little more than a criminal with a gimmick. It always seemed like he saw Batman as little more than an obstacle to get past, rather than an eternal rival/bizarre "soul mate."

Even TAS, which is for the most part definitive Batman, didn't take (probably due to the restrictions of a 23 minute a week children's show) full advantage of the Joker's profile. He was near-flawless, but limited to that "scheme of the week" format. TDK was able to flesh him out a lot better.

This girl I know (who is, to be fair, very easily scared) was telling me how terrified she was at TDK. I naturally assumed she was most scared by Two-Face, or Joker's brutal crimes, but it turns out the part that chilled her the most was this scene - Joker reflecting on the joys of murdering with a knife.

 

[Two_Face]

Wow, I feel bad for her. And truthfully, the Joker kind of scared me as well. The night of the day I first saw the movie I was expecting him to show up in my house and knife me. But, if he gave me a smile just like his, I'd gladly be his protege, as long as I never harm any friends or family.

Every second of heaths performance, in speech or in silence, screamed ThE JoKeR!

Seeing this part again it was small and insignificant but it was still great. Joker gets back in his truck after it crashes and pushes the dead body out of the way saying "Harvey, Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Dent" followed by "Move over I want to drive."

It just worked.

well the reason i didn't see the joker in jacks performance was because he was motivated by jealousy. since when is the joker jealous of batman?
