The Dark Knight is coming out next month and people literally can’t stop talking about it. The director of the movie, Christopher Nolan, says Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker was ‘terrifying’.

Nolan states the actor’s final film sequences are spectacular - likening him to a shark who expertly brings “chaos” and “mayhem” to the evil role.

Nolan tells Britain’s Empire magazine, “Our Joker - Heath’s interpretation of The Joker - has always been the absolute extreme of anarchy and chaos. (And) what makes him terrifying is not to humanise him in narrative terms. We didn’t want to show what made him do the things he’s doing, because then he becomes less threatening.

“I like to say he cuts through the movie like Jaws. He just kind of comes and goes and causes complete mayhem.”

There will be a bittersweet moment for everyone when we get to finally see The Dark Knight…all happy and sad at the same time. Happy with the job he did…and sad we won’t see more of it.
