Quote: Nolan Compares TDK's Joker To The Shark In Jaws

The latest issue of WiReD Magazine has an article on The Dark Knight. The article mainly deals with the technical side of things such as CG and IMAX projection, but RopesofSilicon directed me to this one shiny quote:

The director wasn't interested in plumbing the murky origins of the Joker himself – the Clown Prince is more a Loki-like force of chaos. "He's like the shark in Jaws," Nolan explains. "The Joker cuts through the film, he's incredibly important, but he's not a guy with a backstory. He's a wild card."

The Joker is like the shark in Jaws? Nolan sure knows all the right things to say to get us excited.
