Villians?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Awesome.

Personally, I prefer the villains to the heroes unless the hero is more of a Byronic hero. Villains are more fun. I'm kind of excited that Heroes will have an entire chapter on villains, woot.

Border Reiver:
In order to be a truly great hero, one must have overcome truly great obstacles.  Grendel must be able to destroy any number of mighty champions of Hrothgar at the same time or Beowulf isn't as great as the bards make him out to be. Siegfried must overcome what even the gods fear to do in order to be the greatest.  Batman's antagonists must be able to defeat him, or at least give him a serious workout, or the Bat isn't anything but a costumed bully.

Courage is defeating that which can defeat us. 

No one cares about the guy who is easily able to wipe the floor with his opponents.

Tom:
This is a perfectlly logical progression:

heroes ---> anti-heroes ---> villians.

Though I have no doubt he thoroughly owned that role (I haven't seen the movie but everyone says he was amazing in it), I still am under the impression that he got so much screentime and publicity as the villain in part because it was his last role.

Disagreement box:

All of the publicity for the movie was centered around the Joker before Heath even died. The first trailers, the first teaser images, the ARGs about the movie, it was all about the Joker. His death actually killed a lot of the things the ad agencies were doing with the character and the role to promote the movie.

KharBevNor:
So wait, it's a new trend to have films focused on/advertised by their antagonists?

Dracula anyone? Nightmare on Elm Street? Godzilla?

anyone?
