Well see, to me, the more realistic and grimey feel to superhero movies is better. Like in this case, the Joker could be a real guy. Just a crazy with no remorse for killing people. On the flip-side, there could never be a Spider-Man or a Doc Oc or whatever. Which is fine, I like the mutant type movies for what they are, but I'm more drawn to the darker films. Heath Ledger was AMAZING as the Joker.
