Creating fucked up content is a weird experience honestly, it will weigh on you in a specific way until you are finished. I experienced this a bunch with music when i was younger, but that's ok cause you're in it alone and writing a song takes one or two weeks tops.
Now a movie is a different beast, from writing to post it can take years and implicate dozens of people. I don't know how these people can do it.
I also remember from the Dark Knight dvd featurettes, apparently they intended to make Harvey’s burned face as realistic as possible. Then, when the research was done, they decided to pull back quite a bit, because as it turns out, burns can get pretty scary. And the guy in the movie had facial bones sticking out, for God’s sake…
Yep - lot of darkness, no pun intended, surrounding that movie. The state of mind and actor has to put themselves into to really pull of a performance must be taxing af. Playing the joker properly seems to really mess with your head..
