[@janesgems7]

It's odd but... Although the Joker is meant to be as a 'force for evil' in this movie, I can't help but think he, like Wayne and Dent, were victims. Wayne lost his childhood when he lost his parents, Dent was turned into a monster by grief. We don't know what made the Joker what he was. But when he said to Batman, 'I took Gotham's White Knight and brought him down to our level' all I could think was 'he knows he's a monster'. Which meant that once upon a time he was something else. If a good man like Dent could 'fall' then maybe the Joker was once a good man. And that was the real horror. At the end of this film I feltlike weeping, not just for Batman but also Dent, and whoever the Joker once was. What an amazing piece of filmmaking. And what amazing acting, from all of them. Bless you Heath.

[@jjoegr]

+janesgems7 ''If I'm going to have a past, I'd prefer it to be MULTIPLE choice! Hahahhahah!'' But seriously though that comment is deep. It's rare to find something profound and clear like that in the comments of a KZbin video. Good on you!

[@quierover4locas]

the archetype of the joker is of a person that never got a chance to be good, a person that has hated the world since childhold, it happens a lot to some rich kids which get everything from a material standpoint but nothing from an emotinal stanpoint (i.e. a hug from dad) that they dont enjoy the very little details of life, when a kid like this sees people in his sourrandings enjoying the little things in life that sickens him, the first thing is to reject happy moments enjoyed by others, with time such rejection is not enough and he will start to want the rest to live his own misery and then he will start enjoying when people fail on things. I am not saying that's the joker's background and the one that he was once a good man is very romantic, but i prefer that background for darth vader, i like the background of the joker being a bad person all his life better.

[@TheBlackLodger]

Just like in The Killing Joke, the point of him telling people that the scars on his face drove him insane, even though he didn't have scars in TKJ, was to tell people that "one bad day" made him who he is.

[@janesgems7]

+BODDENERGON You can really see the influence of TKJ in this film - the Joker wanted to prove 'just one bad day' could turn someone's life upside down. And chillingly he was proved right: Harvey Dent.

I can't think of anything more arrogant than sitting in a bat cave judging the entire world for its wrong doings and strapping on a bat suit to go out and beat up poor people to protect your own interests. His arrogance is all-consuming, even more than a judge. "He's just like us." "Races out an a $1 billion car to beat up poor people committing petty theft." He's spent billions to crate a faux bat lifestyle to keep poor people in prison cells when he could have just given them a lot of jobs doing his laundry.

[@rhatcher010]

The news of Kevin Conroy's passing is devastating. To help cope with my personal fan-born grief, I instinctually began to listen to this track at full volume. Such is the enduring power of the Batman as a pop culture icon. At his best, his exploits in both print and on screen help us to confront grief and sorrow. The best of his stories can inspire us to meet the moment with our heads held high, even in the dark. And for 30 years, Conroy exemplified this, contributing so very much to this legacy. Both "Batman: The Animated Series" and "The Dark Knight Trilogy" are works equally worthy of the cape and cowl. And this track remains my favorite piece of music in the character's 80 plus year legacy... So far. It's mournful moments like these that remind us why we need Batman.

Rigel Bellatrix Did you even watch the Joker? The movie shows that a poor person left by the society with no help can become a monster. This only taught me that you shouldn't leave anybody behind ,stop bullying (i'm not a bully tho) and help people with difficulties because you don't know what they're going through. It's absolutely not about riot against society and use violence more frequently. You should try to separate fiction and reality too. Children can't do that much and that's why it is said to avoid showing this film to a child but here you're completely acting like one. And didn't this trilogy do the same as Joker? Look at Harvey Dent he was a good man but becomes evil. If you are criticizing Joker then you'll have to maintain your point for the trilogy too. I always was interested by the Joker's past and how he became who he is and that's why I loved the film Joker. You may not be interested by his story, fine but don't say things like "what are we doing?" like if the film was never meant to exist, that's some childish behavior.

@@ko7577 Thank you so much for the information.

[@Frankenbutt99]

The Dark Knight trilogy is a perfect example of what movies can look like when they have actual care put into them. Christopher Nolan directed, wrote, and produced the trilogy. They are his vision, and they are made exactly to his designs. And for all their flaws and problems, they’re easily some of the best superhero movies of all time. The Dark Knight is even my personal favorite superhero movie ever. Why? Because it’s not some studio product made solely to make money. Nolan cared about what he was making, and it shows. The cinematography, the screenplay, the acting (even Bale’s Batman voice has its charm), the set designs, the use of practical effects, the music (though in all fairness, has Hans Zimmer ever let us down?). These movies aren’t products like Suicide Squad and Justice League, and even some Marvel films like Age of Ultron. The Dark Knight trilogy is flawed, but its successes greatly outweigh them. Nolan had a vision, and what emerged from it was what is, in my opinion, not only the best DC movie, but the best superhero movie ever made, as well as one of the best trilogies. Nolan, Bale and Zimmer made something special, and it shines as an example of what the current DCEU can only dream of surpassing.

I loved the way this triology was produced, but Bale was not may favorite Batman. I have to go with Ben Affleck, as he looks EXACTLY like Bruce Wayne from the comics (Check out the Wikipedia Batman page for a pic of Bruce), and he's the most physical Batman we've ever seen, just like in the comics.

This score is written in D minor, which is referred to as the saddest and dark key signature, even by man classical composers. Hans and James Newton also change the key signature from natural D minor to Harmonic D minor which makes it sound darker and scarier. This key signature is my personal favourite. It makes it sound as heroic as Batman and at the same time gives you the chills from Joker's character. Truly beautiful.

[@danettte]

the harmonic minor isn't always used to be scarier, as most baroque and classical music in minor keys is also in the harmonic minor as it means that the V7 is not a dominant chord, and creates more pleasing sounds, at least to bach ears.

My biggest fear is that production companies are not gonna make movies like this anymore, because it's financially safer to resort to full CGI, in contrast to practical effects. But TDK literally outshines all the new Marvel movies, where imo way too much happens on screen at the same time which makes it seem so cartoony and chaotic. Less is more, and TDK completely understands that. The chase where the Batmobile is chasing the 18-wheeler with the Joker in it is a perfect example. It's soo good cause they arent oversaturating the screen with explosions and stuff, which makes it much more pleasant to look at
