how do you know the movie will be PG-13? it is just starting post-production and will not be rated yet. the first one was rated R (Batman Begins) right?
the deal is that as an actor you have to "become" yoru character so that you can react honestly in character, and not appear to be acting. The Joker is not a buffoon. The Joker character is as evil and demented and unflailingly sadistic and cruel and malicious a character as there has been in any comic book or movie or novel. To play him convincingly you have to allow yourself to become unhinged in a way that , for actors who get REALLY into it, can be very hard to escape. those psychopathic thoughts, the urge to kill at random, to cause as much pain and suffering and to do it ILLOGICALLy can be a real strain I would guess.
That is why Jack nicholson warned him, and why he has called the Joker his favorite role.
