[Spoilers!] Dark Knight

[Pink Underoo]

I guess you're not big on philosophy, Underoo. A paradox does not necessarily mean a mistake, and Joker can be summed in more than one paradox.

My argument is that you're simply drawing from the surface of the character. If you dig down deeper, there's a lot more to him. The point is, with the little we are actually presented of Joker, one could write pages upon pages of thought. It is not a reflection of a single mind as much as it is a reflection of elements in the psyche of all humanity. That does not necessarily mark it an impersonal force; after all, Joker is very much a person.

It isn't stupid, or bullshit. You just don't like it. There's a difference.

You claim that the draw point here is philosophical undertones, but you're missing the point that the Joker has no undertones. His dialog is literally the subtext. Also, what do you think of how he was acclaimed to not be a schemer, yet he is a very blatant schemer?

I actually enjoy philosophy, but this is not anything of the kind. It's a big budget film with an insubstantial arch villain who is thinly painted with contradictory overtones that make repeated appeals to the pseudo intellectual viewer. It makes no difference about the amounts of pages you could write about the character, because if one were inclined to write a ten page essay on the nature of dog shit then it could happen, and I'm sure there'd be others who'd be enthralled with every word of it - that's the nature of philosophy, it's whatever the fuck you make of it. But as for the actual character, personal opinion aside, I'm calling it bullshit because that's what it is. This Joker (no pun intended) is a generically twisted villain placed in a poorly scripted action movie. I'm starting to think that if Heath's death prevents this character from recurring in the next film (which I'll probably avoid anyway) then at least something good would come from his passing.
