The Big Picture For every great Batman adaptation, there is almost always a great Joker to go along with it. The 1960s show had Cesar Romero, the animated series had Mark Hamill, and perhaps one of the most legendary iterations is The Dark Knight's version with Heath Ledger.
Jack Napier Was a Monster Long Before Becoming The Joker in 'Batman' 89 A key element to getting the Joker right in a Batman adaptation is to nail his origin story or rather, the lack thereof. While many may understandably view the villain falling into a vat of chemicals as the true origin of the Joker, that's really only the last of many straws. As we see in Batman '89, Jack Napier was a cruel and deranged human being long before he got an unhealthy dose of clown makeup.
Joker's Treatment of Alicia in 'Batman' 89 is Unforgivable Close While Jack Napier was a broken individual before the events of Batman '89, whatever was left in his deranged brain snapped further when he became the Joker. In between joy-buzzing his competitors and infecting Gotham's make-up supply with Joker fumes, one of the most disturbing things Joker does in the movie is actually something we don't see.
We eventually see Alicia's face when Joker sets his sights on another potential victim, reporter Vicki Vale . While he takes over the art museum Vicki has the misfortune of being in, Joker brings along Alicia and shows her scarred and disfigured face for the first and also the last time. What's even more eerie and unsettling is how this is the last time we see Alicia, with the character's ultimate fate being a complete and total mystery.
