]]>One of the credited creators of the Joker produced an image of the villain that was inspired by the German actor Conrad Veidt. He chose a black and white photo of the pale-skinned, deranged looking figure and the Joker’s look evolved from there.
Batman comic book trio Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson are all credited with creating The Joker, but it was Finger who brought a crucial element into play: Conrad Veidt.
In one of the Flashpoint comics, an alternate reality is introduced where the DC universe gets flipped on its head. In this universe, the Joker is Bruce Wayne’s mother. Weird, right?
The Joker is one of the few villains who gets the spotlight over the superhero. In 1975, he actually received his own eponymous series. It only had nine issues, but it was still a big deal at the time.
The Scarecrow has the ability to conjure your worst fears. For the Joker, however, Scarecrow’s fear toxin has no effect. Perhaps this is because he has developed resistance to toxins, or maybe he just fears nothing. Not even the Batman.
Most people are aware that Heath Ledger used method acting to get into the role of the Joker for 2008’s The Dark Knight. Few people fully understand the lengths he went to. He once locked himself in a hotel room for a month so that he could experience total isolation. He also stayed in full makeup while on set and designed his look himself.

]]>The movie, which tells the origin story of the infamous DC villain, is directed by Todd Phillips and stars Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role. It is intended to kick off a series of films that will be based on the DC characters but also be separate from the larger DC Extended Universe.
The first Joker trailer introduces Phoenix as failed stand-up comedian Arthur Fleck who is getting through tough times which include being attacked on the street and humiliated in public. All of this takes a
The clip also features a nod to Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy with Robert De Niro making a cameo as a talk show host. This movie reportedly served as an inspiration for Phillips to create the tone of Joker.
Watch the teaser trailer below.
Joker is scheduled for release on October 4, 2019. Besides Joaquin Phoenix, the movie also stars Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, and Douglas Hodge among others.

]]>10. Harley Quinn (Batman)
A villain who does whatever the hell she feels like. We loved Margot Robbie’s portrayal in Suicide Squad.
9. Ozymandis (The Watchmen)
DC has a tendency to blur the lines between black and white/good and evil. Ozymandis epitomizes this in his character.
8. Loki (Thor)
He’s been around in mythology for centuries but we love Tom Hiddleston’s punky and rightly mischievous version of Loki.
7. Thanos (Guardians of The Galaxy)
We haven’t seen much of him yet, but we can’t wait to see him attempt to destroy half the universe in Avengers: Infinity War. Big talk from a pretty big guy.
6. Venom (Spider-Man)
Everyone has a dark side, even Spider-Man.
5. Mystique (X-Men)
She alternates between sides but Mystique’s shapeshifting powers make her a powerful ally.
4. Magneto (X-Men)
Magneto is a great villain and a hero from where he’s standing.
3. Catwoman (Batman)
She’s cool, she’s sexy and she doesn’t follow the rules.
2. Hela (Thor)
We loved Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. Her costume was amazing and she effortlessly crushed Thor’s hammer.
1. The Joker (Batman)
“Whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stranger…” An utter nutter who scarily sometimes makes worrying sense… in an insane kind of way.

]]>Played by Jack Nicholson, Jack Torrance is a suburban husband and father, but also The Overlook Hotel’s winter caretaker. Another side of his personality is that he is a psycho and murder and the king of creepy.
At first glance, he seems like a nice motelier, mama’s boy, but once the mask is pulled away we can see that it’s only madness beneath it. The famous Psycho scene of the shower curtain ripping, screeching sound and a knife lurching is iconic and it’s all thanks to Hitchcock’s brilliant creation of this man – Norman Bates (played by Anthony Perkins).
The iconic performance of Anthony Hopkins showed how effective a villain can be when presented as calm, intelligent but terrifying. Hannibal is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he is a charming man of high taste. Too bad that taste is in the human brains.
Black suit, dark sunglasses and an emotionless face on this man have the one and only purpose: to stop the rebellion. Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) is just an Al program in a virtual reality, designed as a human-hating weapon in the ultimate Man vs. Machines war.
Portrayed by Tobin Bell, Jigsaw is a cruel character who tests the other’s willingness to live through a psychopathic set of games. His victims seem like they don’t appreciate the life as much as they should, so he puts them into traps where they need to fight for their bare life. Do you want to play a game?
This supervillain has it all: a life story where he was kidnapped and raised by the god, he feels betrayed and he thinks he is doing good. While his brother Thor got the muscles and strength, Loki (Thomas Hiddleston) got the brains. He is charismatic, exciting, witty and keeps Marvel fans to want only more of him on the big screen.
Erik Magnus Lehnsherr (played by Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender) is cruel, violent and dangerous, but if you know the story of how his parents were killed in the holocaust and he had to survive by himself as a mutant chased by humans, maybe his idea of how two sapient species can’t live in the same world doesn’t sound so bad. He is so persuasive that you can hardly help yourself not to stand on his side.
Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) was born as Tom Marvolo Riddle and he is the most powerful Dark Wizard, so powerful that he was just one step away from conquering the wizarding world before Harry Potter stopped him. From the beginning to the end of the franchise, Voldemort embodied the perfect evil, he is so cruel that no-one dares to say his name, except his biggest enemy – Harry Potter.
This iconic villain is the face of Star Wars. He was born in slavery, he joined the Jedi Order that made him one of the most powerful Jedi ever, but turned to the dark side of the force. He was supposed to be the chosen one, but he used his powers to destroy every Jedi alive. Among the fans of the franchise, he became even more popular than the heroes in the Star Wars universe, so there is no wonder he is one of the best movie villains ever.
Casting Heath Ledger as one of the biggest Batman’s enemy got so much disapproval from the fans, but Ledger proved them wrong. He brought a new life to the Joker, making him maniacal and twisted psychopath, purely cruel, dangerous supervillain. Ledger’s performance was the only one ever to bring an Oscar to a superhero movie character, and got etched into our mid forever and got him at the top of our list of best movie villains.
