how tha hell did you guys see it already
Three words:
Not a villain.
Yeah I noticed that and thought it was interesting. It seems he was once ashamed of being a weird freak or something and being the Joker is part of getting over it. Twice there's mentions about "being alone". When the mob call him crazy and he responds vigorously it's one of Ledgers best deliveries in the entire film. "I'm not. No. I'm not". There was another moment like this with Harvey in hospital but I've forgotten what it was. ??? And you can tell he's pretty offended when the Chechen calls him freak. Particularly when he says "why don't we chop you up and feed you to the pooches. Hhuh?" on the last bit he actually sounds HURT and lashing out. replay the online clip, i noticed it before I saw it in the cinema.
Also when he's talking about not being able to go back to the past status quo, in the interrogation scene, he says "what? go back to ripping of mob dealers? No. No...... NO" and seems kind of amused. Not only is that an origin fragment but I think that moment was Heath acknowledging that the Joker gid get screwed up in a mob violence, and that's why he can't go back to that lowly level. It created him.
Also, a hurt woman was clearly prominent in his past. Both of his stories tell of either a mother or a girlfriend with a scared grin like his own. Roll on Harlequin. It's the best way to recast Joker I think now. Just cast a woman and change her name.
