This isn't a Joker movie, it's a Two-Face movie.
If you're viewing the Joker scenes as anything other than chaos, you're tricking yourself and dismissing one of the best parts of the movie. The nuttyness of it all.
The Joker isan engine of chaos. This whole movie is the rise and fall of Harvey Dent, not about the Joker. The Joker is the distraction and catalyst, but the story isn't about him.
Which is great, because it means you can bring him back.
Heath Ledger is awesome in this movie, and is now the definitive Joker, but it wouldn't surprise me if they re-cast him for the next movie. He's such a great plot-driving character.
