To me the joker is a depiction of Friedrich Nietzsche's clown that knocks the rope walker and kills him in a freanzy of laughter. . It's about how real evil has no actual plan, no real direction, and no ulterior motive. It is about how evil basks in chaos, it is for the sack of its own desperate need to deal with its own impotence by making everyone suffer to just have a maniacal laugh.

This movie is not only the pinnacle of superhero films but one of the greatest films of all time, the performances, the script, editing, action sequences, are all oscar worthy. But what really separates this film from other superhero movies is its exploration of the hero and the villian, by highlighting the sacrifice the hero makes coupled with the devastating realization that hero's existence directly manifests the villians who challenge him . Brilliant and thought provoking about the nature of good vs evi

The Dark Knight is amazing. Not just because Nolan's direction brought a gritty realism to Batman. Not even because Heath Ledger gives the performance of his life to surpass even Jack Nicholson. The Dark Knight is amazing because there is an entire second layer, a commentary on the political world of the 2000s, and whether evil can be defeated without compromising the values you seek to defend. Watching with that in mind gives The Dark Knight new depth.
