We used to have bad guys bent on money and power, in a few cases to make their mark on history. It was a simple system. Now for two Batfilms in a row we've had the main bad guy trying to destroy the city itself. Ra's did it as a sort of quarantine or putting the town to the torch because it is hopelessly lost to crime and corruption. Joker, as an agent for chaos in his own words, wants to just speed up the clock on a process already in the works.
Can we have criminals in the spotlight of films like these just with base motives anymore?
