its heightened reality like what he did with the prestige, banes seige on gotham was like watching genghis khan, the blue rose emits a toxic fear inducing hallucinagen which later becomes more science fiction than supernatural, Bruce doesn't enjoy brooding or the dark atmosphere he just knows its a world he was thrust into the moment his parents were killed, he chooses the dark because no one else will. How was The joker never about anarchy? for all we know he could have been a good man once like in the killing joke, he alludes to the idea that all it takes is one bad day to drive the sanest man alive into a maniac, the irony is that he tells the truth even when he lies, and nobody ever wants to accept the cold hard truth, because its actually frightening and cruel, thats how the joker see's the world and wonders why we dont see it and why we arent laughing or "getting the joke", he doesnt break it down for us in simpler terms because thats like having to explain a joke and when you do that the joke is never funny. Comedians are always about the truth, because they show us how fukked up shyt is.
your saying the heath ledger joker isnt capable of doing this like in the comics?
