I mean, Heath Ledger's version of the Joker didn't really have all that much depth, really. He was simply an agent of chaos with no background or history.

But DC has been smart in not turning the Joker into a little boy who missed his mommy, like Lucas did to Vader.

To be fair he’s the only villain who has been given a chance to be something different and given some depth.

One of the most entertaining things about him was him giving different origin stories each time he told it

DC villains are phenomenal compared to Marvel.

You could throw Magneto in their but he’s more of an anti hero than a straight up bad guy

Magneto has tremendous potential for depth as a villain

I would like to see the Riddler explored more. That villain has really good potential for a solid movie.

Absolutely, and I think we'll get that with the next trilogy
