Blah, blah, blah. The truth in the Joker's speech hardly matters; it's part of his persona, as I explained.

Your answer is just obvious to anyone that's seen the film. Ledger's performance is different in a dramatic sense. As I said (do you blot out meaning because of a rush to argue?), he elevated the character by the consummate skill he showed in his complex portrayal. Is he truly crazy, more so than anyone that cruelly has been disfigured? Is his destructiveness rooted in his childhood, his trauma, or is he one of those fellows Caine described as nihilistic, that they just like to see things destroyed? Or both?
His lying is a key part of his character. Again, does he believe it or not---- that's a fascinating discussion, but several bridges too far for you.
