Focus on the villain

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2019)

For whatever reason, the Joker is one of the only villains whose story has become just as important as the protagonist. In an industry where becoming more gruesome is a goal of some sort, why not focus on the villains who are inherently, well, bad.
What makes this movie so memorable is actually establishing a villain with more screen time. It makes what is ultimately cheesy, a super her movie, something that's much more thrilling.
The idea behind the Joker as a villain and the antagonist against Batman makes sense. It's plausible and earned. With that, you have a great movie that does justice to the underlying competition which what should be central to any super hero movie.
The sound quality of this movie is also outstanding, especially during motorcycle/batmobile scenes. So with that, you have what is one of the best super hero movies of all time and something you can actually watch on repeat because of the work that was placed to make this seem like a great match up of good versus evil, instead of he/she bad vs they good.
