Joker set the standard for villains

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2015)

The late Heath Ledger took perhaps the most psychotic villain ever in comic book history and became him. It didn't even matter what the other characters did. The Joke set the tone for the film and carried it throughout. Simply a brilliant performance. It's the best Batman movie ever created, even better than the one with Bane because you know the Joker will always rise again even if it's the form of someone else. His character will always have life and be Batman's greatest foil because he makes the Dark Knight think more than fight while being the most ruthless character. At the end of the day, Batman will always have the upper hand on the Joker because the Joker eventually slips up, but this movie showed just how far the villain can push the hero.
