    I think the "agent of chaos" thing for the Joker is a very clever misdirection, if that is the right word. That seems to be theatrics more than anything, along with his apparent madness.
    I would say that the Joker wins because no one of his enemies understand him. Batman, Gordon and Dent go most of the movie thinking he's a common criminal looking for money and power. The mob fails thinks he's a mad mercenary. Even Alfred misses the point of his own story. The Joker doesn't do what he does simply to create chaos, but to upturn the status quo and show the people of Gotham how cruel and unfair "the plan" is.
    The Joker is always a step ahead of everyone else because he's not mad; he's radicalized.

    Niyat,
    Long time listener, first time poster.
    This is one of your best videos yet. I completely agree why Joker in TDK is among the best villains of any genre.
    Also, your video helped me articulate why Hedger's Joker stuck with me more than Joaquin Phoenix's performance. Phoenix clearly puts his heart into the role. But Joker tries to make the Clown Prince sympathetic, which undermines his menace and his core character. TDK Joker's lack of humanity makes him truly scary even though intellectually you know he's just a guy in clown makeup.
    Continue the great work. I look forward to future videos.

    I feel this is where they dropped the ball with the recent Joker movie. They explained WAY too much about his background. That is what has always made him such a great character. The fact that you know virtually nothing about him. Like a force of nature, he comes in, destroys what he sees fit to, then leaves. Joker isn't about why. He's about why not.

    I KNEW IT! They don't have the same goals! I learned something important from this video!
    I have a story, & I always believed that there was something wrong with my main villain. My protagonist basically just wants to not be a superhero and just be a normal person with his girlfriend, and the main antagonist wants to torment the planet before resurrecting his long lost race: they don't have the same goal. Or at least goals that parallel each other. They aren't two sides of the same coin like Batman and Joker are.
    That's what I love about movie analysis videos like this! They help me out with my writing!

    The thing about Batman doesn't kill people went out the window long time ago. I mean watch the movie and think about how many people he left dead in his wake of "Protecting the people of Gotham"

    When he insists on his own sanity, you experience a moment of truth. He doesn’t want to be perceived as insane.

    The Joker may be considered a criminally lunatic or insane but he's actually a genius that got interested on something other people considered...offensive.

    This video was released in August, 2020. That's after "Infinity War" and "Endgame". You don't have to go all the way back to 2008 to find the last truly great comic book antagonist and one of the most perfectly realized bad guys in cinematic history.

    I would agree 100% with your analysis. Still brings a tear to my eye knowing we will never see another Ledger performance. Think of all the great works we lost out on. I wonder what would have been?
