The Joker

Character Overview
The Joker appears as the main villain in the second film of the trilogy, The Dark Knight. His main goal is to create chaos, and his rise to power mainly has to do with the appearance of the Batman. The Joker sees Batman as the first real competition in the city of Gotham and the first opportunity for fun. The Joker takes a very odd approach to crime and seems to find joy in almost all places.

The Joker is the one who causes the death of Rachel Dawes and many other important figures, along with the injuries and trauma of Harvey Dent.

Personality Described within the Film
When talking to Bruce, Alfred compares the Joker to a man he hunted in Burma who stole precious gems. The man apparently through away the gems, and Bruce asks why he would so something like this. Alfred replies, "Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. they can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
