The Joker from The Dark Knight movie . . from the moment I saw that movie, I just had to give it to Heath Ledger . I'm watchin' the movie again tonight (I havn't seen it since it came out) . I think Heath Ledger's performance is still the best superheroe villain portrayal I've ever seen . What separates it from other villains in superheroe movies is the fact he was able to show how truly evil The Joker is; most villains in superheroe movies are just the typical "evil" guys who get beated up/killed by the main heroe at the end . Heath Ledger's performance showed how twisted The Joker really is . He even had the perfect accent, laugh, expressions, movements, etc. of The Joker . The fact that The Joker in this movie didn't have any initial plans (e.g. conquering the world, killing Batman, etc.) and he didn't really have anything to lose . He just loved to mess with Batman and the people of Gotham City . More importantly, he didn't care if Batman killed him . To me (and probably to most people too), this is the best Batman movie ever thanks to Heath Ledger .
