This movie was so so. The Joker was played by Heath Ledger who died in real life afterwords. But what most movie buffs wonder is why was the joker so powerful? He was beaten in the face by The Batman repeatedly but never really was hurt. I would think that so many punches in the face would result in a major injury. That was very strange. Also, what happened to the joker to make him that way? Jack Nicholson's Joker was made that way when he went to a plastic surgeon or something like that and had botched dental procedure. This joker gargled with razor blades and everything was somehow related to how he was beat by his Mom. I can't understand why The Batman hated the Joker so much.
