The Batman series has been filmed too many times, and the second part of Nolan's trilogy has pushed the destined rivals of Batman and the Joker to the pinnacle of attention. Therefore, it is normal that this work with mediocre plot and narrative has not received much praise.
I am interested in the development of the origin story of the clown. What makes an ordinary person become an antisocial personality who believes that the world is a chaotic mess made up of randomness, and therefore fears that the world will not be chaotic? Is it because there are too many bad things that are too small to hit him? He left the laboratory of a chemical plant to be a talk show actor, but he was repeatedly frustrated. This is his failure to realize his personal value. The meager salary makes it difficult to make ends meet, leaving his wife and children hungry and cold. He is a traditional man. A failure in dignity; under the pressure of his wife’s imminent birth, his wife died unexpectedly. He lost the point of taking the risk in an instant; just when he was about to give up this meaningless crime, the criminal put his gun at On his head, he forced him to continue to lead the way, but abandoned him at the most critical moment; he unfortunately stepped on his red cloak while escaping, fell into the chemical dye pool, and turned into a green hair like an evil spirit. Joker... No wonder the Joker said that it only takes a bad day to become like me, and no wonder he always believes that the world is made up of huge and chaotic randomness and that the so-called law and order are not worth mentioning. He is crazy. To a certain extent, I believe he is like Mr. Smith who is beyond the control of Matrix in The Matrix. He is a bug that this absurd and corrupt Gotham City will inevitably create. It is like a clean-up program to give The rules create chaos. And Batman is like that Neo. He is another extreme bug created by Gotham City. Extreme justice and extreme evil entangle each other to offset each other. This is probably their fate.
At the end of the movie, Batman and the Joker rushed out of the haunted house in a fight, and the two suddenly stopped fighting in the heavy rain. Batman let go of the Joker's neck and said that I know we are enemies, but I really don't want to fight like this forever, I hope I can talk to you, seriously, to talk. I don't know what you have experienced, but I think I can help you. Speaking, Batman stretched out his hand to the Joker. At that moment, the clown's face relaxed, his face no longer had an evil grin, but instead was a kind of understanding and depression from the initial vigilance. The Joker staggered to his feet, not shaking Batman's hand. He said no, Batman, it might be too late. Then he told the famous joke: two mental patients want to escape from the mental hospital, they climbed over fences and walls, and they wanted to reach the freedom outside. The gap between the two buildings stopped them. The way to go. One mental illness jumped over it first, but the other mental illness did not dare to move forward. At this moment, the one who jumped over said, "Let's do it, I'll flash you a flashlight, and you just need to walk along the light!" But another mental illness said, no! You will definitely turn off the flashlight halfway through! After speaking, both of them laughed with great understanding. If the Joker and Batman are both mental illnesses who have faced the dark gap, then Batman is the one who is willing to light up the Joker, and the Joker is the one who does not want to trust him. Can humans be trusted? Is human nature inherently good or inherently evil? Justice or evil, order or chaos, Batman or Joker, everything is just a matter of thought.
Fatal joke, deadly indeed.
