Very overrated. Decent performances acting wise. The joker is really well acted, but very poorly written. The scale of the movie hurts the characters immensely. This kind of dark portrayal of the Joker does not combine well with him having access to limitless henchmen + resources. It undermines the character a lot. with the Joker not only having plot armour, but plot resources, and plot charisma as well, while supposedly being an "outsider". Its frustrating because it could have been great. This kind of Joker would work in more small scale stories, with him tormenting Harvey dent or Commissioner Gordon. Making him a niche figure, that only Criminals and Batman & co know about, rather than a global public terrorist. The Joker in the movie, would not have leverage on anyone. because he is publicly known, and publicly crazy. None would work with him, citizens would want him dead, and because of his terrorist attacks, the FBI + the Criminal underworld would hunt him down. Hardly someone Batman needs to go after. To me this is too much of a disconnect. I can suspend my disbelief, but not when it destroys the characters. It destroys the setting for me too.
