The Joker has always been described as theatrical, loud, and larger than life. Early versions leaned into flashy costumes and exaggerated behavior, turning him into a villain who felt like he belonged in a comic book. Ledger went in the opposite direction. His Joker was messy, unpredictable, and deeply unsettling because he felt like someone who could actually exist. He used scars, greasy hair, and smeared makeup to look like someone who had completely unraveled. Instead of laughing wildly, he spoke in a voice that wavered between calm and explosive, making every sentence sound like a threat.
