This.

As they portrayed the Joker in Nolan's Batman, he was almost a character from Dostoyevsky.  Complete nihilistic evil.

That's just Nolan's take on the Joker. Or modifying him to modern times where we are dealing with real world terrorists.




Having seen the cartoons growing up and reading the comics, I didn't get the sense that Joker was doing things to prove to the world that civilized society could fall apart at the slightest push. My take was the joker just enjoyed being a criminal and having a cat and mouse game with Batman.




Superheroes and Villians get re-invented alot.

The Penquin as portrayed in the tv series: Gotham is the first time I've found him interesting.

It had such potential. Batman Begins was good. The Dark Knight was amazing. Dark Knight Rises was a great concept wrapped in pandering bullshit. Fuck Catwoman. She had no reason to be there other than as sex appeal, and they tried to force an audience connection to her by saying she's morally conflicted and trying to be a good person because Anne Hathaway. She didn't contribute anything to the story, Anne Hathaway is a horrendous actress, and she helped further ruin one of the best characters in the DC Universe.

It should have been like this:
Bane stays mostly the same. He can figure out Bruce Wayne's identity through Ra's Al Ghul. He doesn't need anyone to betray Batman. Develop the "we're both working towards the same goal, but with different approaches to it" angle, if you can.
Catwoman is eliminated from the movie almost entirely. Fuck Anne Hathaway.
Don't reveal that Bruce is definitely alive at the end. Don't reveal that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's middle name is Robin. Just have Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character resign from the Police force and have a scene of him going back into the Bat Cave, implying that he's going to be the new Dark Knight for Gotham. This keeps the theme of making ideas immortal, even if men are not. Bruce should create a legacy through his martyrdom, not say they're going to continue with him as the Batman.
Maybe keep part of the scene with Alfred at the cafe in France, but don't have clarity that Bruce is actually there. Just imply that he might be. It'd be like the spinning top scene in Inception.

Joker is awesome. He's my favorite character. But he's a force of nature by himself, not an image of Batman seen through a different lens like Bane is.

Joker is a super villain. He's not a matched villain, if that makes sense.

But you're mostly right. I said that the Joker was the "reaction" to Batman. The Yin to his Yang, as it were.

Bane is what Batman could have been. The Joker is what Batman could never be.

So you are going to invent your own characters and create a series so it can be how you want it

from the movie side of the house, ledger's joker was the best villain, while pfeiffer's catwoman still makes me shiver.

anne hathaway's CW was awful.  i think she's a great actor, but the role didn't work.  she didn't get at the desperation of the character, the writing was weak, and i don't think nolan really understood the character to begin with.  the result was just blah, but i'm not sure who is primarily responsible.
