'Our Joker, Heath's interpretation of The Joker, has always been the absolute extreme of anarchy and chaos. What makes him terrifying is not to humanize him in narrative terms. We didn't want to show what made him do the things he's doing..
..because then he becomes less threatening. I like to say he cuts through the movie like Jaws. He just kind of comes and goes and causes complete mayhem.'

Sources close to the late actor claimed playing the manic, dark role pushed Heath into a depressive state, insisting he took sleeping tablets in order to rest.
