The Joker viewed that the average person was a schemer, a plotter, a planner. He also saw those three things as inherent evil, as inherently wrong. Granted he saw it that way because he wanted to watch the world burn, but it wasnt those motives that resonated with me. I am NOT an anarchist. I agree with that viewpoint, but not with his logical process. I feel that shemers, plotter, planners are inherently wrong for a different reason. When we, as humans, create plots, create schemes mentally, we are saying our plans are greater than God's. We are meant to live by a plan, yes, but not one of our creation. This divine plan supercedes all, and all other plots and plans must make way for it, or be destroyed.

Heath Ledger's Joker
So, I saw Batman opeing weekend, and then again 2 weeks later with friends, and then a week after when my older brother got back stateside. I was fascinated with the Joker. I was fascinated with his idea structure, with his code of ethics, with his view on life. It somehow resonated within me, and struck a chord. It took me weeks of contemplating it to understand why.
