Entire sections of the city were closed off due to madness, organized crime ran rampant, and the majority of important city officials were wildly corrupt. The city even tolerated a renegade vigilante who ran around wearing a rubber suit (Okay, special armor and carbon fiber, but they don’t know that).
Along comes the Joker and by the end of a very short time, almost all organized crime was eliminated, many corrupt officials were imprisoned or dead, and the city’s Vigilante even went into hiding for 8 years. This was all part of Joker’s masterfully executed plan. View Quote http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Dark-Knight-Fan-Theory-Puts-Joker-Hero-It-Kind-Works-79887.html |

Lol, and then there were dollars from heaven raining down on the poor huddled masses.

That Joker wanted to see the world burn.
I'm not sure why they want to call him the hero. |

So, it's like Iraq, except in reverse?
Saddam was an evil asshole but he kept that shithole in check. |

Yeah, we've seen that article before, and the author is still an idiot who selectively ignores a lot of other stuff that happened in the movie.

Palpatine/ Empire were good guys
*Employed millions in construction jobs and military *Saved Anikin's life when Jedi left him to die *Standardized ship designs over ugly confederation designs *Ended a destructive war *Busted up a religious sect that took young children and indoctrinated them. *stabilized an entire galaxy |

View Quote And original Dark Night series comic Joker was in. He was never regarded as any kind of hero, except by other bad guys, first page incident makes sure of that, but, treatment of Batman is pretty spot on, he was considered a whacked out mental case in that series of comics. |

Look at Vegas during the years the Mob ran it, compared to how it's run today.

The Vong destroyers could be considered on par with an Imperial I-class SD, and were outgunned by an Imperial II-class SD. The big threat that came from the Vong capital ships that had giant worms they could launch, though they were a one use only weapon. Generally they were carried on Worldships and Battle-Spires, though, so not to many of them, fortunately. And the biggest threat were the Worldships, each one of them housing a Vong Clan. That is the big reason that Palpatine and the ruling Imperials wanted stuff like the Death Star so badly. |

The streets got cleaned up because of Harvey Dent, not the Joker. Dent stood up to the corruption.

Fuck Sidious. View Quote The Republic's fucktardness can be equally to blame as well. For a society supposedly based off of the Roman Republic, you'd think those guys would have dedicated more resources to at least organize a paramilitary force to defend itself, or better yet actually have a professional military. But no, they outsourced their primary duty to a bunch of mysterious mages, whose numbers were so few that they could not adequately defend all of the Republic. Instead, they focused on going full blown socialism, creating a serious wealth gap between the Core Worlds and the Rim Worlds. And as another result of not having a military, the mega-corporations got to boss them around, even gaining Senate seats and manipulating events in their favor. |

Book name please... View Quote The New Jedi Order series. Or as I like to call it, Game of Thrones in space, because it took Star Wars in a very dark direction (the Vong being an analogue to the Huns), and that many characters that you care about or will care about either end up dead, crazy, or shell-shocked. |
