Hey Dr Langley ! - that was a cool insight to the cartels of villains who've been a thorn in Bruce Wayne's backside for decades ! I'm curious - did you start getting into the minds of Gotham City scumbags as a kid, devouring comics, TV episodes and films? And if you do teach too, do you take special classes or presentations on these antagonists who define Batman?

It’s been theorized as the scarecrow of Batman‘s villains is not actually insane that he’s just pure evil. Basically total antisocial personality disorder. In the past comics he had expressed desires in scaring animals as a kid as a form of intimidation. Early warning signs of a serial killer. The only frightening thing about scarecrow is the fact that he tends to enjoy it or at least fascinated by it. It kind of reminds me a little bit of Freddy Krueger and his psychopathy.

Heath was downright amazing at certain aspects of the character and dedicated to the character like no other. However, it remains true that there are aspects of Joker, in his truest form seen in the pages and games, which no actor has brought to screen yet, much less all at once. Each of the big 3 or 4 performances gets some things right that the others don't, but there's still room for the truly perfect portrayal, imo. Many people, including me, still have a big problem with Ledger, which is that he's often hard to recognize as Joker and not a totally different villain, albeit a great one.

@travislangley7395 Год назад

People keep bringing up the lick/smack thing and I understand why, so I'll elaborate: Yes, it has been said that Ledger did those odd licks and smacks because of his makeup. That behind-the-scenes tidbit is not what we see revealed on the screen. Regardless of how it originated, Nolan chose to keep those behaviors in the movie. What we see on the screen is someone showing signs of tardive dyskinesia. I know therapists who have been bothered seeing that on screen in this particular movie for a number of reasons, whether out of concern for their own clients or because they don't like seeing anything sympathic in the Joker's depiction. They do not look up behind-the-scenes trivia while immersed in the story as presented. We react to what we see. If we go, "Oh, that's just Ledger," the movie breaks the illusion and isn't doing its job. Nolan made a choice to let those actions become part of their Joker.

That analysis about Ledger's Joker seems to support the theory that he is a former soldier/agent/spy who was horribly disfigured before veering off the deep end. Maybe he was prescribed anti-psychotic meds one time only to find that the government has cut off his meds due to budget cuts.

Would have been even better if Gotham's ver. of these characters were added to the analysis... I honestly felt multiple villains were portrayed best in this show

I wish he would do this again but for *The Batman Movie that will be in theatres soon seems like a lot for a psychologist to sink their teeth into

I wasn't sure I'd like this vid but I really liked Dr. Langley's passion both as a psychologist and a Batman fan. Also, he looks like Dr. Hugo Strange to me which is kinda funny, nice vid!

A psychologist take on Batman's Rogues.This topic I have seen discussed before but this was the best one I've ever seen. Good video.

Would like a video with Dr Curry answering questions about psychology, she was so well spoken and easy to understand in the trial

No Spoilers, but I did not see the connection between Batman: The Movie (1966) and The Batman (2022) until it was brought up in this video. :D

@RabblesTheBinx 2 года назад

Psychiatrist, not therapist. Her job was to diagnose and treat mental illness pharmacologically, not to provide therapy. Important distinction, as mental patients really need to have access to both.

i have a feeling the best parts were cut for time... its the internet... you can post an hour long video and people will watch it...

Bank manager: "What do you believe, huh?" Joker: "I believe that whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you...stranger." Best line, followed by "Why so serious, son?"
