Abstract

In the 2000s, when the possibilities of cinema increased considerably, many violent stories became animatable with the help of technology. The Joker has been seen as the enemy of Batman and the city called Gotham City with unjustified violent acts. The film The Joker focuses on the Joker's life before all the acts of violence and how he went through the processes before doing these acts. In other words, the script of the film turned into the cause of the violence and took action to find the main reasons why the Joker turned into such a brutal character. This chapter will focus on the aesthetization of violence in cinema based on the Joker character and The Joker film that released in 2019. It will try to shed light on the relationship between art and violence based on the question of how the violence presented in many works of cinema can be approved.
