Joker has been represented in two films in the last 30 years, Batman (1989) played by Jack Nicholson and The Dark Knight (2008) played by Heath Ledger. Batman’s director Tim Burton gave Nicholson’s Joker an identity outside the Joker persona: an identity that effects his motivations and the overall tone of the film as being filled with revenge.
