Johnny Sorrow (Jack Nicholson):..".. Harvey... it's my face.. I really don't need this orange metal mask I'm wearing.. really, Harvey .. it's like tin foil.. my face.. is just fine.. just fine.. it's not disfigured even slightly.. see..".. Johnny Sorrow takes off his mask... he actually is rather handsome.. ".. see - Presto!... I'm just fine.. the disfigurement is a myth because.. of something I was .. supposed to do.. to the truly beautiful face of my girlfriend in a Batman movie.. a really bad Batman movie I was in a long, long time ago.. I played the Joker.. and.. oh, man.. it's what happens when Alan Moore gives you a perfectly good origin for the Joker.. a perfect origin .. actually.. beautifully told.. and ya mess with it when ya make the movie.. and you create this really lame origin for the Joker where he's a common... a hell.. I dunno.. and I didn't even.. you have to... see.. that's the rule for making a Batman movie with the Joker in it.. the Joker has to be a nice person, he has to be the most decent of men.. before he becomes the Joker .. and that's the iron-grated rule when you make a Batman movie with the Joker in it.. and I don't know what even happened with me when I filmed this movie.. what happened with the screenwriters.. the last screenwriter on the project was just amazing and he gave real depth and power to the Joker.. and then they didn't even include his powerful in a literary sense amendments to the screenplay in the movie... I dunno.. I played the Joker very poorly in a bad Batman movie.. and you do such damage to the legacy and honourable personage of the Joker .. to his whole history in comics.. when you do that.. "...
