Hopefully we can now put the Jared Leto Joker theories to rest, but now a Reddit user by the name of GeneralZee has a new theory about the Heath Ledger Joker. Zee’s theory pins the Joker being more of the hero than Batman. Mind blown? It makes sense. Here is what he had to say:
Joker, although a lying psychopath, is actually the hero in The Dark Knight. Before the Joker, Gotham was a mess. Entire sections of the city were closed off due to madness, organized crime ran rampant, and the majority of important city officials were wildly corrupt. The city even tolerated a renegade vigilante who ran around wearing a rubber suit (Okay, special armor and carbon fiber, but they don’t know that).
Along comes the Joker and by the end of a very short time, almost all organized crime was eliminated, many corrupt officials were imprisoned or dead, and the city’s Vigilante even went into hiding for 8 years. This was all part of Joker’s masterfully executed plan.
What do you think guys? See what else he had to say by clicking the link below.
