A very interesting battle today between two very unpredictable men. Time to vote after the break!
The Joker
Movie villains are usually pretty straightforward. The Joker in The Dark Knight wasn’t as you have no idea what he will do next, just like him it seems.
versus
Amon Goeth
This nazi strikes fear in everyone in the concentration camp as he terrorises it by shooting people at random. Knowing that this character is based on a real person makes him even more scary.
Which bad guy is your favorite?
[polldaddy poll=5619125]
Tough one this time around, but the reality factor seals the deal.
It’s almost unbelievable people could act like that…
I voted for the exact opposite reason to Amy hehe
If I voted myself I would have probably gone for The Joker as well…
Joker, just because he has the crazy factor! Amon Goeth is more calculated!
Yeah, they don’t get much crazier as the Joker…
These are too tough to actually vote for. These two roles and the others before it are iconic. How do I ever choose between two of the greatest villains?
I did actually choose Joker for this round, but it could’ve easily went the other way.
That’s the idea behind it, so nice to read you were struggling with these 😉
Hi, Nostra and company:
More big guns…. Cool!
The Joker.
For his flat laugh, flair for the dramatic, great quips, fetish for knives and hand grenade laden ‘Negotiation Vest’.
Pulling off the polar opposite and equal of The Dark Knight with style and elan without being corny or campy.
Great description Jack, as always!
As you know I haven’t seen Schindler’s List, so I’ll give this vote a miss. Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker was fantastic, though. He was a very worthy opponent of the Bat. Definitely one of Ledger’s best performance in his short career.
It’s not an easy movie to watch, so I can imagine you haven’t seen it yet. Only saw it two weeks ago myself.
As you pointed out Goeth is scarier because he is based on a real person. I voted for him. If I were to just look at the films, I would have voted for the Joker
That makes it a very interesting battle as the votes are currently 50/50!
I think Goeth is far scarier because there were people like him. His cold, dead eyes alone give me the chills. The Joker may be batty, but at least he won’t kill you just on the base of ethnicity alone. In any case, I wouldn’t want to come across either one of them on a dark alley!!
I think that’s the reason he’s slowly winning as the fact that he’s based on a real person makes him the most scary.
I chose Goeth. A man looking so normal and yet killing so many people…much scarier than the weird looking bad guy.
Well, he is through to the next round, something I didn’t expect to be honest.
As much as I’m scared of the Joker, I’m gonna go with Goeth. He was one sick, twisted guy. And as everyone else said, he existed.
Yeah, really scary….
