I'm currently watching a thing on the Special Features disc of the Batman: Gotham Knight DVD that came out a couple weeks back in anticipation of The Dark Knight (which I saw at 12:01 Thursday night/Friday morning). The feature is interviews with the storyline writers for the Batman comics, and they're talking about the functions of all the primary Batman villains and how they work. This is what they had to say about the Joker (keep in mind this is said easily before these guys could have seen the movie):
"When the Joker is written well, he should be terrifying and then he should make you laugh at inappropriate times...and then you should hate yourself for doing it."
That being said, The Dark Knight is thus perfect.
