#219 - The Joker (History & Importance) - WatchThisWithRickRamos

The Joker - An Iconic Cultural Villain (With Special Guest Mike Black)   On this week's episode of WatchThisW/RickRamos, Old Friend Mike Black returns to The Fortress of Ultimate Darkness to discuss the history of The Joker - one of the most important villains in all of comics, film, and literature for that matter. We discuss the various portrayals of the Batman villain, from Caesar Romero thru Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, Mark Hamil, and - now - Joaquin Phoenix. Why has this character so wholly captured the imaginations (and fears) of readers and audiences the world over. He is a figure far more important than a simple fictional character. There's no one I know better to dig into this history than my friend Mike Black. Take a listen and let us know what you think.  Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to [email protected]. As always, thanks for your continued love & support.
