Further research!!!

My Partner and me decided to have a further look into another killer, The Joker, from The Dark Knight (Batman). We choose the joker as he is a killer who has no limits and will do anything, he cares about nothing or no-one, and will tarinsh anyone who stands in his way. One of the most uncanny details of the character is that Ledger completely disappears into the role, and to a disturbing degree. The make-up is thin and messily applied to his face, but Ledger is still completely unrecognizable. One scene even shows The Joker’s face briefly with no make-up; one still cannot see Ledger somewhere within the character. At least psychologically, it’s as if there is no Ledger there at all - there is only The Joker. And that is truly frightening. As one of the characters say in the film about the joker, 'some people just wanna see the world burn' this says it all about him, which outlines our characters role.
