We can't talk about Dark Knight without talking about Joker. Their lives are intertwined, as if one could not live without the other, although deep down. The reality is that their lives crossed some time ago, specifically in 1940, when it was introduced into a copy of the Book Batman comic by DC Comics.
Since then their misdeeds have gone in search of sowing chaos in Gotham and provoke the good of Batman, who saw how he became his worst nightmare. We do not forget the murder of Jason Todd or the paralysis caused to Bárbara Gordon.
And, although to Joker He likes to work alone, he has been associated with other villains to do dirty work. Its appearance has changed over the years and has been interpreted by different actors in all its films. But there are fixed canons that are unnegociable; Defalming face, white skin, green -dyed hair, red lips and a most peculiar psychopathic personality.
His first appearance in cinemas dates back to 1966, in "Batman: The movie", played by César Romero. An action that would not be as dark and sinister as his heirs, but that gave way to what would be the Joker's legend. In addition to the film, César Romero would participate in the Batman series together with Adam West That would make the dark gentleman. A production made up of 22 chapters and that is after the movie.
I would not return to the big screen until 1989, with Jack Nicholson Under that particular makeup. The American actor is considered by many fans as The best Joker, being the closest to the character of the comics; sinister and malignant.
Later it would arrive Heath Ledger In the trilogy of Nolan where he left us all speechless with his interpretation in the dark gentleman. Followed in 2019 Joaquín Phoenix In a movie exclusively from "Joker " and that had an unprecedented success and criticism.
It would also appear more spontaneously in "Suicide Squad" (2016). A role that received many criticism by not leaving the actor, Jared Leto, play paper as I would have liked. The only thing true so far about The Joker It is that its role has been better and better interpreted and that the bar is very high for the next brave ones to cool its particular suit.
