"Not all jokes are funny" was the slogan of the first concept poster of Heath Ledger's Joker in "The Dark Knight"(2008), which showed Heath in makeup, wearing a straitjacket while he was laughing. Heath Ledger had himself locked in a hotel room for a month preparing for the role and wrote a diary all the while which allowed him to dive into the character. The diary was later revealed online which showed that he took references from various characters including 'Alexander DeLarge' from "A Clockwork Orange"(1971) and 'Roy Batty' from "Blade Runner"(1982). Where one of the characters is a juvenile murderer and rapist who undergoes psychological experimentation to suppress violent behavior only to later become a victim of violence. And, the other character is of a bionic human clone whose ability to feel and self-realization of the fact that he is a slave to humans, turns him into an enemy of all human beings. Both of these characters demonstrate the dark side of society where rules are considered just, only because it favors people's demands and desires which to them is Democracy or worse, Justice.
