Although the Joker’s portrayal has evolved over time, certain elements remain consistent with his character. These traits are evident in both The Dark Knight’s Jokers and Batman’s Jokers. Both Jokers are psychotic. This claim is supported by Psychosis symptoms. The lack of empathy is one sign. It can be seen in their willingness to kill and do whatever they want. In dangerous or serious situations they can both display a careless attitude or even a lighthearted disposition. While this may be because he’s “crazy”, it doesn’t directly link to psychosis. Both Nicholson’s Jokers and Ledger’s Jokers use makeup to dress in a certain way and for specific purposes. They both speak in a similar way, despite having different voices. This creates tension that keeps you on your toes and makes you wait for their next words. The Jokers are both independent and have their own interests. The Joker makes the men on his job kill each others until he’s the last person to take the money. Batman is an example. His scare on Alicia allows him to “art.”

Some differences are obvious between The Jokers of Batman & The Dark Knight. Others require careful observation to see the big picture. The Joker’s tone is what makes them different. Burton’s Joker looks very clownish and has a constant smile on his face. His loud voice and garishly colored clothes may make you uncomfortable, but he doesn’t actually threaten you until you are afraid. Ledger’s Joker looks very intimidating and creepy. His face is covered in scars, and his makeup makes him appear as if he’s getting worse. He also never smiles. The attitude they have towards Batman is another noticeable difference. In 1989, Joker seeks revenge against Batman for drawing attention to himself. He wants to destroy him in order to gain total control of the area. The Dark Knight’s Joker, on the other hand, is like Batman’s Sherlock Holmes to Dr. Moriarty. Batman is the only person who can match his strength. The Joker informs him that he doesn’t want to murder him during interrogation. What would you do I wouldn’t be able to live without you ? You are the complete Joker. Tim Burton’s Joker was a powerful figure in the city. He killed Carl Grissom, poisoned shipsloads of products with smilex gas and seemed unstoppable. Batman finally defeated him. He didn’t seem to be ready for Batman’s fancy gadgets like the Batpod which took all his balloons with it. His crimes always seem to be planned first. It can best describe his organized chaos as he attempted killing people in Gotham with smilexgas. Heath Ledger’s Joker makes Heath Ledger more dangerous because he is unpredictable, and also very intelligent. Harvey is told by him that he does not make plans but is five steps ahead. This shows his ability think quickly and to act immediately. He is also able to manipulate people to get what they want. For example, Joker provokes the officer in his holding cell by discussing why he uses knives to kill. Joker attempts to get the phone number of the officer, but he’s unable to do so. Although his method of committing crimes may be more complicated, he is more determined and willing to follow complex procedures to accomplish what he desires. Jack’s Joker has a purpose, while Ledger is just a jerk. You should also be able to see the reasons why each Joker has a costume and makeup. Jack’s joker does this because it’s part of his brand and how he wants the public to see him. He manipulates the public with it, acting “normal” and claiming that he is taking off his makeup. The public will see that he is only being obnoxious and crazy, and not as a real person. Ledger’s Joker is also known for using his makeup and clothing to portray him, but it is also used to mask his true identity as a human being. They were unable to determine the Joker’s identity due to the custom clothing. His makeup and how he does it make him even more frightening. You feel overwhelmed and careless when you see his makeup.

Let me end by mentioning their attitudes towards each other. Jack Nicholson was a Joker who cared about his health. He made sure he was safe, had escape routes prepared, and had help. Heath Ledger’s Joker wasn’t concerned about himself. It is obvious from his dirty appearance and how he shouts at batman, as he speeding towards him with his bat bike.

Partly, the Joker’s transformation is due to society and how we view film. We, as audiences, become less able to accept the darker themes in TV and film. We need more to maintain our interest. We needed a Joker who was darker and more terrifying than the previous versions.

Hans Zimmer discusses his process of creating the music for The Dark Knight and how it reflects the sound of anarchy. Hans Zimmer really thought about anarchy and how it affects you. Hans was determined to create a Joker character in music. Hans used anarchy as a tool to help him understand the Joker’s personality and how it affects people. He tried out thousands of sounds, trying different instruments and objects to find the right sound. He tried everything, from razor blades to shave piano strings to tapping pencils on desks. One time he stated that he wanted the Joker to be defined with only one note. It turned out to have been two Cello notes that “clashed beautifully”. This created a haunting sound that gave off the feeling of danger and chaos. Hans Zimmer was a tireless musician who captured the idea that anarchy could be made into music.

We must examine each part of Heath Ledger’s description of Joker as “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown without zero empathy” to determine if it is true. Let’s start with the question: Is Joker a psychopath. Psychopaths are people who have Psychosis. Psychopathy can manifest in many ways, including the Joker’s. The Joker clearly displays a lack empathy when he is quick to blow up a hospital or ferry boat carrying innocent civilians. Psychotic people are also unable to feel emotions and show no difference between neutral and emotional terms in their brains. The Joker appears to remain stoic throughout, with the exception of occasional anger and annoyance. The Joker’s smiles and laughter don’t convey happiness. It communicates instability, not happiness. You could ask the Joker to stop killing your children, but he would not respond differently if that were his intention. Blame externalization refers to the act of blaming others in an attempt to blame them for their actions. This is obvious in Joker’s conversations with Harvey Dent and Batman at the hospital. Instead of continuing with the discussion of his mistakes, he will continue to blame society. Although I could go on and on about two additional symptoms, the truth is obvious. Yes, Joker.

Next, the question is: Is the Joker a mass killer? Mass murder is when a large number of people are killed at once or in a very short time. Although his murder attempts do not always succeed, for example, he still kills many people in Gotham within a short time span (short period). The definition would indicate that he is a mass-murderer.

Ledger calls the Joker a schizophrenic. I disagree with this assessment. Schizophrenia can be described as a severe mental disorder. It is characterised by severe emotional symptoms, intellectual deterioration and social isolation. We are not able to conclude that Joker suffers from Schizophrenia, based on what we know about him. Although he does display emotional blunting (lacking empathy and emotion), and social isolation, the latter is also indicative of schizophrenia. The Joker may have hallucinations or delusions, but we cannot tell if he says so. Schizophrenic could also refer to the inability to understand or a lack of consistency. This can be distinguished from a condition that displays unusual disparity. This definition doesn’t apply to Joker. He is not contradicted.

Heath Ledger’s Joker may not be considered a clown as he isn’t a performer in a show or circus and doesn’t have an outlandish costume, makeup, or tricks to entertain the audience. A clown can also be described as a practical joker or prankster. While the rest may not agree, the Joker does enjoy causing havoc with people’s emotions.

This test has already answered the question whether or not Joker is a victim of zero empathy. It also includes discussions of his psychosis as well as suggested schizophrenia. He kills out of sheer rage or to perform a social experiment. He did not show any signs of guilt or sorrow as a result.

Ledger’s Joker suits the film perfectly. Because of his unpredictable character, you never know what the next step will bring, it’s almost like watching a movie without knowing the outcome. The Joker’s talk, which is reminiscent of the suspenseful moments in this film, has been discussed earlier. The most thrilling scene is when the ferry boat passengers decide whether to blow up the other. And the clock is ticking. Heath’s Joker in the end is terrifying and dark, much like how the movie depicts violence, murder, robbery and gangs.
