Ah, very cool!
I always thought the Joker couldn't be without any plan.
I like how you wrote it and I absolutely love the Joker/Batman hints. =D

Ledger gives you little clues when the Joker's lying. If you watch the "Why So Serious" scene, just when he starts saying "my father...was a drinker. And a fiend." His eyes move like he's making it up as he goes along. The same with the scar scene with Rachel. "Hello, beautiful. And you are beautiful." Then he says his wife was beautiful too. He's lying.

I think I've got it pinned down though. He's sincere when he tells Harvey that it wasn't personal. Lying when he says he doesn't have a plan. Sincere when he says he's an agent of chaos. Then worried when he says "now we're talking".

But then again, he's the Joker. Even he doesn't know if what he's saying is true or not.

That was really well done. I enjoyed it, because of course the Joker would have a plan.

I cut a line "you don't plant explosives in a hospital, little by little, by not planning." He does all things, for what must be months in advance. He reads is "social experiment" speech of a piece of paper. He says that Harvey Dent is "at Eighth and Orchard", planning on Batman hearing him.

Then he tells Harvey he's not a schemer. Seemed funny to me, I don't know.

Ah, this was great. Of course, the Joker has a plan - and I loved how you wrote his. I agree, you can tell in the film when he's lying and when he's being honest or sincere.
This was superb, love it.

You did this really well! It seems totally believable to me. I also noticed his lying when he's telling the scar stories. It's actually very obvious if you know what lying people usually look like. He's looking to the side and up a lot especially in the Gambol scene. In the hospital scene I always assumed that most of what he's saying is true. He's explaining his philosophy to Harvey so I think he needs to be a bit more honest there. But the whole planning thing is a bit confusing because he obviously does plan most of the things he does, otherwise he wouldn't get anything done! But he also goes with the flow of things a lot which is why he calls himself "a dog chasing cars"

Oh and I loved this ;)

"Hopefully, by tonight, on top of Batman as well."
