WHY So SeRiouS?

I have watched the previous Jokers since the Adam West's show and every actor that played the Joker did a good job from the perspective and tone of the context.

The TV series Joker, Cesar Romero, was just crazy and he really didn't inspire fear. He was just eccentric and cartoon like.

The Tim Burton's Joker, played by Jack Nicholson, was a little darker Joker but although he played a little crazier and did some evil things he didn't inflicted fear.

Now with Heath Ledger's Joker, this character took a complete 360° turn. This Joker is the Joker I always thought could be. Deranged but incredibly smart and uses this to instill fear. This Joker is a real terrorist. He doesn't have a reason, he's an agent of chaos that simply wants to "see the world burn."

Heath's Joker, IMO, is the best Joker I've got to see. A darker, more sinister fiend who really looks insane and wants to see chaos reign. His only wish is to destroy that sense of "safety" our current civilization enjoy.

It's the kind of insanity, the kind of Joker, fit to our times, don't you think?

It's a shame we will not be able to see another Joker played by Heath. Let's hope the next one at least reaches the same level. He really shut up everyone who doubted him, wondering if a "gay cowboy" could outperform Nicholson as the Joker, I believe Ledger impressed even the Legendary Joker Nicholson with his performance.

But do not get sad, "LeT'S PuT a SMiLe oN THaT FaCe!!"
