Really? I thought it was fairly obvious, given that there are many other posts making a similar point. You tagged this thread "D&D", not "movies". The scenes that make the Joker an interesting villain - the opening bank heist, the "pencil trick" etc would all have been cut if the Dark Knight had been D&D, because the Player Character isn't present in any of them.I mean, sure, but I'm missing the connection to my post.
The only way to do The Dark Knight in D&D would be to make the Joker the PC.
The answer to "what makes an interesting movie villain", as exemplified by TDK, is "give them plenty of screen time". And this is a lesson that fundamentally cannot be applied to D&D.
