The lack of comic book feel is what made the Nolan movies so good IMO


They were great action thriller detective movies, but far from a great batman movie. Ledger played a phenomenal villain but he wasn't the Joker.

At least, he wasn't the villain I grew up reading in comics.

I've said this before:
Ledger was a cold, calculating, planning criminal mastermind genius chess player.

The Joker is a completely unhinged maniacal dangerous agent of chaos. Despite Ledger's monologue about being a dog chasing cars, he was anything but that.

I'm hoping the Suicide Squad Joker is more of an absolutely unhinged psycho than a criminal mastermind.

They based his character off of the Joker from Batman #1, The Killing Joke, and Batman: The Man Who Laughs. Stories which are closer to the Joker Ledger gave us in The Dark Knight.

To me, ledger's came off as full of shite, in a good way. His multiple choice past, he obviously planned well..despite his "do I look like a guy with a plan?".

He even had a backup for the two boats.

Great villain, great take on a villain.
