Top Villain: The Joker

3 months ago 16th May 10:42

Nicholson's performance has gone down as one of the most iconic villains of the big screen as the film went on to be an international smash hit.

The Dark Knight, which is released later this summer, sees the return of the Joker, for the first time in nearly twenty years, portrayed by Heath Ledger.

While Nicholson's Joker was done with a smile and a joke this time around the character returns to his evil comic book roots as a psychopathic, mass-murdering schizophrenic.

In place of chemical bleaching his skin is coloured by white and red make-up which, over the course of the film, starts to look like a skin infection.

Like in the comic Ledger's Joker is terrorising the city of Gotham for his own pleasure and entertainment.
