Patton Oswalt Has A Theory About The Joker In The Dark Knight That Might Blow Your Mind

Patton Oswalt Has A Theory About The Joker In The Dark Knight That Might Blow Your Mind

The Joker is arguably the most famous comic book villain of all time, primarily serving as Batman's arch-nemesis, but also causing trouble for many other heroes in the DC Comics universe. Other than his psychopathic mirthfulness and love of purple suits, one of the things that distinguishes the Clown Prince of Crime from many other baddies is how most of his pre-white skinned, green-haired life is shrouded in mystery. Christopher Nolan kept this intact for Heath Ledger's version of The Joker in The Dark Knight, but comedian and famous geek Patton Oswalt has an in-depth theory speculating that before he came to Gotham City to spread chaos, the criminal mastermind was a military intelligence operative specializing in interrogation.

Having recently re-watched The Dark Knight, Patton Oswalt noticed that The Joker was particularly skilled at "the kind of mind-fuckery that sustained, professional interrogation requires," specifically by altering his personality and methods depending on who he's talking to. Examples of this include when Joker mentioned he knew a squealer when he saw one, how he mocked Michael Jai White's Gambol, when he appealed to Harvey Dent's need for fairness and, arguably most importantly, when he turned the tables on Batman during the interrogation and attempted to goad the Caped Crusader into breaking his one rule.

By the climax of the movie, Oswalt sees Joker as trying to "mind fuck an entire city," and while it looked like Gotham's citizens didn't fall for his bluff, the comedian wondered in his Facebook post if everything didn't work in Joker's favor after all. Like the villain said, he wouldn't risk the battle for Gotham's soul in a fistfight with Batman, and even though Joker didn't succeed in corrupting his cowled adversary, he was relieved and used language which, as Oswalt sees it, is the "kind of thing an interrogator would say, ruefully, about a fruitless session."

While Joker's most popular origin story in the comics saw the character becoming his maniacal self by accidentally falling into a vat of chemicals, The Dark Knight eschewed that in favor of the main antagonist simply donning face paint and dying his hair. The villain gave conflicting stories about how he got the scars on his face, but that's the closest we came to learning about his past. Still, given Joker's talent with manipulation and his considerable knowledge of weapons and explosives, it's entirely possible that he was an interrogator for the military in his previous life, and after witnessing one too many horrors of war, he snapped and became a cackling anarchist.

Because of Heath Ledger's passing on January 22, 2008, six months before The Dark Knight was released, we never got to see more of what the actor could have done with the character. The Dark Knight Rises ended with Bruce Wayne saving Gotham City from being destroyed and retiring from his life as Batman, but we never learned what happened to The Joker after he was apprehended by the authorities at the end of The Dark Knight. As far as we know, he's still locked up in Arkham Asylum in this universe, so if he escapes, it'll be up to John Blake, Gotham City's new vigilante protector, to stop him.

Stay tuned to CinemaBlend for all the latest in Batman-related movie news, and be sure to look through our handy guide to learn what DC movies are in development.

10 Superhero Movie Villains That Aren't Really Bad People

10 Superhero Movie Villains That Aren't Really Bad People

The first rule to creating a memorable villain is to craft an antagonist that, while working against our hero, is someone who could be viewed as a hero from a different angle. We were reminded of this fact with Michael B. Jordan's virtuoso performance as Killmonger in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther, and it's gotten us to thinking long and hard about the past villains we've seen in the comic book firmament.

Indeed, there's been a rich and interesting history of villains that, while playing the baddie to a well-known hero, aren't exactly that bad to begin with. This isn't saying that our rogue's gallery are without sin, rather that their respective actions aren't as evil as those of the many more vile counterparts that exist throughout history. So keep that in mind as we run through the 10 supervillains who aren't as bad as you thought they were.

Dr. Victor Fries / Mr. Freeze - Batman & RobinLet's just forget the fact that Batman & Robin stinks on ice. When you really look at Dr. Victor Fries' mindset that transitioned him into his Mr. Freeze alter ego, all he was really trying to do was cure his terminally ill wife. Of course, with mad science at play, the campy villain played by Arnold Schwarzenegger was more of a theatrical bank villain than a stone cold killer. Threaten his wife, and he'll ice you; but all others need not worry. The most he can do is encase you in a frozen state, with your own custom made pun!

Magneto - The X-Men SeriesThe horrors of a Nazi concentration camp are what started to turn young mutant Erik Lehnsherr into the powerful force we've all come to know as Magneto in the X-Men series. And yet, reading his intentions for what they truly are, it's always been hard to completely be against the man. In fact, his collaboration with Professor Charles Xavier and his X-Men team from time to time has lead to some great successes, and in the beginning all he really wanted was to avenge his mother's death. Though even as he grew harsher, he still had somewhat of a friendship with the professor, and he always had an eye on putting mutantkind in the driver's seat.

Norman Osborn / Green Goblin - Spider-ManWhen you've built a successful weapons company from the ground up, you'd be pretty angry if a stuffy board of directors tried to take it away from you. That's exactly the crux of how Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe) became the Green Goblin in the first film of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. Taking it upon himself to test the experimental Goblin armor, complete with its performance enhancing fog, Osborn slowly slipped away from sanity, turning into the Green Goblin over time. But even out of his right mind, his sights were only the board of Osborn Industries, and even after his eventual comeuppance, his mind was focused on the well-being of his son.

Doctor Otto Octavius / Doctor Octopus - Spider-Man 2While mad science and loss aren't strangers to the creation of a supervillain, the tale of Doctor Otto Octavius's transformation into Doctor Octopus is something that made Spider-Man 2 all the more bittersweet. Playing with the boundaries of the revolutionary power source Tritium, Doctor Octavius went too far with his efforts to harness the volatile element and ended up losing his lab, and his wife, in the fallout. Another case of sanity slowly wearing away, the AI in the tentacles fused to his body are the cause of his evil deeds. In the small respites of normalcy, Octavius is haunted by his actions committed when his normal, kinder self is overridden by the needs of the evil intelligence infiltrating his brain.

Flint Marko / Sandman - Spider-Man 3Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Spider-Man 3 saw street hood Flint Marko (Thomas Hayden Church) stumbling into an experiment that fused his molecular structure with that of sand. Now, while he did use this power to steal some more, and cause some damage, he was only doing it to pay for his sick daughter's chronic medical care. Even the fact that he accidentally killed Uncle Ben while robbing his car is forgiven, as he has a heart to heart with Peter Parker, showing him the better person who turned to an unfortunate life of crime. If Peter can forgive him, then can't we?

Sgt. James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes / The Winter Soldier - Captain America: The Winter SoldierYou've been waiting for this case study since frame one, so let's go over the facts. Sgt. James Barnes, better known as "Bucky" to Captain America fans was turned into an agent of H.Y.D.R.A.'s usage over decades of mental conditioning and bionic enhancement. Yet despite his role in destabilizing the course of human history, one assassination at a time, the titular menace of Captain America: The Winter Soldier slowly started to rediscover his past self. While he's more of a hero these days, there was a period where he was one of the baddest, most lethal operatives on the global stage.

Alexander Pierce - Captain America: The Winter SoldierIf you really want a villain to pin Captain America: The Winter Soldier's events on, Alexander Pierce would be the man you'd look to shake hands with. A big wheel in the intelligence community, Pierce succumbed to H.Y.D.R.A.'s wiles in the name of one concern: security. While he knew full well who he was in bed with, Pierce isn't trying to conquer the world. Rather, he's working towards a system that protects everyone, even if it means eliminating the opposition's superheroes to do so. You can't wreck a city if there's no superheroes to fight back!

Col. Helmut Zemo - Captain America: Civil WarAfter the devastating events of Avengers: Age of Ultron destroyed the nation of Sokovia, the losses suffered inspired great action to make sure they'd never happen again. In the case of Col. Helmut Zemo in Captain America: Civil War, his schemes to compromise Cap and the rest of the Avengers are motivated to disassemble the superpowered group that previously had no oversight to challenge their destructive ways. While his methods did incur a bit of a body count, it was a very limited path for Zemo to cut in order to protect the world from any future Winter Soldiers and unchecked superheroes.

Nebula - Guardians of the GalaxyBeing a part of a family can be hard, as Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy can attest. But what sets her familial stress apart from your run of the mill sibling rivalry is that her father, Thanos, liked to pit her against her adopted sister Gamora. Add injury to insult through the various enhancements and tweaks that her father would force upon her with each defeat, and you can see why there was such a seething hatred on Nebula's end. But over time, even she realized that she really just wanted a sister. She just had a really angry way of showing it.

Adrian Toomes / Vulture - Spider-Man: HomecomingWhile all of the talk surrounding supervillains was inspired by Erik Kilmonger's sudden rise to the top of the MCU pile, there's one villain that could still give him a run for his money over time. Adrian Toomes, better known as Spider-Man: Homecoming's Vulture, did a bang up job of running a weapons racket under the radar for almost a decade after the events of The Avengers. He never got greedy, wanting only to provide for his family, and was forced to greater lengths of criminality thanks to a friendly neighborhood web slinger poking his nose into his business. Hell, Toomes only ever killed a man by accident, and he only threatened Peter Parker with death because he was protecting his family.

The Willy Wonka Reboot Is Looking At 3 Very Different Actors For The Title Role

The Willy Wonka Reboot Is Looking At 3 Very Different Actors For The Title Role

So far the Roald Dahl-created character Willy Wonka has been portrayed twice in film. Gene Wilder first breathed life into him in 1971, and then Johhny Depp gave us significantly different version of the candy mogul in 2005. Both of those actors played Willy Wonka in relatively straightforward adaptations of Dahl's original book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but for the character's third live action outing, we'll reportedly instead see a younger version of him as his origin story is explored. Today brings word that Warner Bros has three talented, though very different actors in mind for the role: Ryan Gosling, Donald Glover and Ezra Miller.

Ryan Gosling was first reported to being eyed for the Willy Wonka prequel back in July of 2017, with Gosling rumored to be interested in the part. Gosling has a good relationship established with Warner Bros thanks to starring in movies like Gangster Squad, The Nice Guys and Blade Runner 2049, and needless to say that he's one of the more well-known actors in Hollywood. Nevertheless, if this Collider report is accurate, then he's facing some formidable competition. Donald Glover's acting profile has risen in recent years thanks to Atlanta, The Martian, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Solo: A Star Wars Story, and next year he'll be heard voicing Simba in The Lion King. Then there's Ezra Miller, who also has a good rapport with Warner Bros by starring in Justice League and the Fantastic Beasts movies.

Of these three actors, Ezra Miller seems like he would be the best bet, as he's the youngest of the three and has proven himself in two Warner Bros franchises. But adding a third might be risky, and with the DC Extended Universe and the Wizarding World not ending anytime soon, the studio might not want to overwork him. Donald Glover would certainly be an interesting choice, and supposedly he's also been chasing the role. However, Glover is more popular than ever, so it's possible he might be courted to star in an even bigger movie. As for Ryan Gosling, he has another Warner Bros movie coming up, First Man, and he's not attached to any franchise. So in terms of being the "safe choice," Gosling seems like he would be the right candidate.

Other than being a prequel rather than another remake, no specific details have come out about the Willy Wonka movie. Paddington's Paul King will direct, and David Heyman of the Fantastic Beasts franchise is producing. Evidently Warner Bros is sparing no expense with attaching a well-known name to this project, so it will be interesting to see in the near future who is selected don the top hat and brightly-colored coat.

The Willy Wonka movie doesn't have an assigned release date yet, so be sure to check back with CinemaBlend for that information and more updates when they come in. For now, check out our 2018 release schedule so you can fill out your moviegoing calendar accordingly.
