Common Thought of Sir Rantsalot

After years of being a fan of Bob Kane’s vision of a superhero with a dark and haunted past, I begin to wonder who my favorite villain was… there’s too many.

A guy who wants vengeance by freezing everybody? NO

A refugee from Latin America who injects a steroidal compound into his skull? NO

A seductress with a fetish for felines? NO

A scientist who likes to deliver brain farts? No

A mutant juggernaut lurking in Gotham’s sewers?… ok he’s cool too (Killer Croc)

A psychopath with a profound vision of anarchy?

HELL YEAH!

That’s right the Joker. With an attitude as apathetic as the next, and a lone-wolf attitude to taking over, The Joker reigns supreme when all others have failed.

You’re probably thinking that I’m just another moron posting about how good the Dark Knight was, but I’m here to say that I had to say to the lot of you that Batman and the Joker haven’t been shown properly till this movie.

In the live-action show, the Joker was played by Cesar Romero as a joyful being  who just like to cause slightly bad problems.

Mark Hammill  got the character of the Joker down good but was way too comical to be thought of correctly as how the Joker is displayed.

Jack Nicholson definitely filled the void of where the psychoticness that is the Joker to a good spot, but lacked certain anger towards Gotham.

For so long, the media has displayed the Joker as some villain who’d willingly tell a joke at a hospital once he’s released.

But seriously,

Does this look like that kind of person?

Christopher Nolan’s vision of The Joker was spot on, he’s no comedian but a total psycho who would without hesitation open fire on a a sweet little kitten who would rub up against his leg.

Heath Ledger (RIP) had the right idea when preparing to play the Joker. He dug deep into insanity to see get a feel for what this character truly is. Explosives galore, chaos, an attitude that says, who gives a flying fuck about the rest of you? Not only did he play a magnificent Joker, but he played on of the most memorable roles by means of insanity. His role left us with a question that will make us question our own sanity…

Besides all that, he sucks in Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe

Catch ya ya on the flipside

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
