Film Theory: Joker Is The Hero of Gotham (Batman The Dark Knight)

Petition to put Matt pat in the evil villain pub ⬇️

either die a villian, or live long enough for matpat to make you a hero

The scene that Joker was clapping after hearing that Gordon is the new commissioner makes more sense now

Joker : "Gasolines are cheap" People in 2022 : "Nice joke buddy"

"To defeat evil, I must become a greater evil" -Lelouch vi Britannia the joker took this very seriously

Also keep in mind the Joker could have blown up that hospital when everyone was still inside it but instead gave everyone a chance to get out first.

“You’re killing millions...” “... to save billions.” -Ozamandias

The Dark Knight got me thinking about how values alone shouldn’t define people. I noticed that The Joker achieved things that I strive for. He let go of vices, lives in the moment and doesn’t expect a reward. However, he twisted those values into something horrifying. ‬

The whole ‘agent of chaos’ thing could be the joker making the metaphors that there has to be a bit of chaos before there can be order, it creates a balance.

This reminds me of a African proverb I read about once: "Until lions have their own historians, the hunter will always be the hero of the story"

“You can’t see yourself as a villain when you think you’re the hero”👏🏽

“How about I cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches. Then we’ll see how loyal a hungry dog really is” This one quote can perfectly describe the message Joker was trying to convey upon Gotham through the whole movie.

14:20 The BEST Line“We can’t SEE ourselves as the VILLAIN if we think we are the hero”

"In my years of fighting crime l learned one thing. Every villain is a hero in their own story..." - Bruce Wayne in Injustice 2

If MatPat was The Joker’s defense lawyers Joker probably wouldn’t have had a life sentence lol

Love the way you described Batman... "A lunatic in a ninja costume that jumps off roof tops..."

exactly, Joker is not an agent of chaos or even "not afraid of death" he just wants others to think that he is. This is how he is able to get out of the mob meeting because everyone there thinks that Joker is crazy and will not mind killing himself with them. He created a reputation for himself so everyone thinks of him a certain way to distract from his actual plan (First impression is the last impression). People to label things a certain way so as to not spend mental energy thinking about it, and everyone thinks of Joker as the crazy person who is just doing it for the lols (what Alfred and Bruce think of Joker) and because of this categorization he never acts the way people expects him to, he seems chaotic.

One thing you should mention: The Joker also never revealed his intentions because he didn’t want people to follow his example.

I see Batman like that guy who wants to keep his job and just fix certain things slowly, while Joker is that guy who doesn't care about keeping his job he just wants to see the whole system revamped

The money burning scene, the thing that made me realize how crazy Joker was was when he said "gas is cheap" at a time when gas was at it's most expensive ever and everyone was talking about how expensive gas was.
