Joker", as a character experimental movie, brings the iconic villain-Joker of the DC Comics back to the screen. For the first time in DC movie history, Joker becomes the protagonist to narrate his background story as a person Arthur before his criminal identity Joker appears. Another prominent portrayal of Joker can be traced back to Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" from his famous Batman trilogy. "The Dark Knight" constructs Joker's tyrannical and antisocial nature in a realistic perspective. Both of the movies are innovative in their successful establishment of Joker image. However, while "Joker" and "The Dark Knight" turned Joker into an iconic villain with personality and depth, their success of character setting also generated unexpected Joker mania. In particular, "Joker" even aroused psychologists' concerns about society's prejudice against mental illness. Both films build Joker as an image that has research implications for villain portrayal in the film and television. This article aims to analyze the factors that make villains impressive and the possible approaches that lessen villain's negative social impact. To achieve these objectives, the article will discuss the reasons for the successful portrayal of Joker and the controversy this character had caused by analyzing the movie "Joker" and "The Dark Knight".
