If it wasn't for The Joker....

1) The movie was fine outside of The Joker.

2) Of course it would not have been as good, because the whole film was built around having that character in place. Of course, if they had a different villain, they would also have a different story to tell.

3) Tell me your favorite movie, and then tell me your biggest reason for liking that movie so much. I'll respond with a post saying: "If not for [insert your biggest reason here], the movie would not have been as good."
