Maybe we needed this, y'know? Maybe we needed something that was so overtly disastrous; so ludicrously try-hard and so clearly going to fail, it cauterised the wound left by Heath Ledger's tragic death, and that phenomenal 2008 performance.

Maybe the only way to move forward with another movie Joker performance, was to destroy and rebuild.
