The return of The Joker to movie screens has led many movie fans to look back on previous big screen portrayals of the character, most notably Heath Ledger in 2008’s The Dark Knight.
Plus, the video reaffirms those fans who have long believed The Dark Knight’s Joker to be the best incarnation of the villain.
A new online video looks back at Ledger’s Joker and tries to determine why, exactly, he was Batman’s greatest foe.
Then he explains why, even beyond Ledger’s acting: The character is a perfect antagonist, as he “attacks the hero’s greatest weakness.”
