The noise, chaotic jump cuts, tech toys and punching & growling would never have made it without the stellar performance of a madman. Heath took the Joker to a whole 'nother level as compared to Jack Nicholson's version. The madness, the audacious calamities planned and the manipulation of the populace are surely a true reflection of what many sense are the characteristics of our current times in the world. Action, adventure, and the chance to look inward and examine our own morality. Wow! Who among us knows what we would do when facing a kill or be killed choice? Maybe now, just when we need it the most, we can start changing things by once again believing in the goodness of our neighbors.
