Confirmed. I worked in the mail room, and I am a clinically diagnosed psychopath. I'm not a bad guy it's technically subclinical, and I've never actually killed anyone in cold blood. Killed yes, cold blood, no. Service, you know. This all came up when everyone else I served with felt remorse and I didn't.
I think it'S Joker getting a job at the GMV. Because that'S a hidden punchline through all their Batman/joker relationship. Joker could've been a totally norm-, okay, stop, hrmp... what I meant to say is that for all his mental problems the Joker could've led a peacefull, fulfilling live with doing what he always done and loved doing the most. Even thought it was a toxic relationship and Joker was the toxic one.
There was a multi-issue comic story called Going Sane where Joker mistakenly believed that he'd killed Batman during one of their confrontations. This actually resulted in him seemingly becoming completely sane and assuming a civilian identity (Joseph Kerr), moving into a little apartment unit, getting a job as an accountant and starting up a romance with a neighbor who shared many similar interests. In the meantime, Batman (who'd been very badly wounded) was saved by a kindly doctor who tended to the former, and the strange thing is that 'Joseph' gradually began temporarily reverting to his Joker persona more and more frequently as Bats got better. Eventually, Batman made a full recover and returned to Gotham, and 'Joseph' once again became Joker permanently (in his own words, once Batman returned, he had to as well) and they resumed their feud.
In "The Dark Knight Returns" comic, it's revealed that after Bruce retired as Batman, Joker went completely catatonic without his archenemy to complete him, and just sat perfectly still in Arkham for 15 years without saying a word. He only comes back to himself after Bruce leaves retirement and he has a purpose again. He really can't exist without Batman.
There's also the "Going Sane" arc, where Joker thinks he has killed Batman, and he actually loses his Joker persona and lives a pretty normal life for a while. Until Batman manages to come back, that is.
@@Nempo13 Well, "White Knight" is really good, yes, but "Going Sane" is actually the arc I mean. It's juat like 2 or three slim issues, whereas White Knight is quite a big story.
@SyckestBlah white knight is the one where bats and joker both end up with temporary short/long term memory loss or something and forget who they are, right?
no its the one where joker became jack naiper (or however you spell his last name) and flipped the roles where he becomes a gray area good guy while batman became the somewhat bad guy for a bit@@momerathsoutgabe-mt1gc
@@timangar9771 no, joker needs Batman, but Batman doesn`t need the Joker. this video skip a lot of dialogue to not get struck down but the reason the Joker abandoned his suicide plan was the saw the people and understood there were not us (batman and Joker). the people celebrating Batman's legacy, to create a better Gotham for the people and the Joker didn`t matter in that equation.
If the joker dies, batman knows someone that joker inspired would try to take his place. Kinda like a reverse power vaccum, That is why he knows if joker goes out and batman does too, then others that batman inspired would stand up to the villians that joker inspired. Batman arkham series showed this.
@@JayJayM57 The issue being pointed out is more that if Batman killed the Joker, Batman would lose because of several reasons. -He'd have broken his code -To reference Batman in Under the Red Hood: Once he crossed that line, there'd be no going back. -He would now be an actual murderer in the eyes of the law. Stupid considering Joker's kill count, but that's how logic works in Gotham city. This was a plot point of Dark Knight Returns (AKA Batman vs Superman but good).
@@slynthrax Well, you would think the Clown Prince of Crime would make some money, mostly for setting up jokes to torment Batman, but I see where you're coming from.
A lot of people say that Batman needs the Joker, that they are two sides of the same coin but Batman has shown several times that he can move on pretty quickly when the Joker is presumed dead (again): Yes, Batman won't kill the Joker. And yes he rather would help him get better (like many other villains). But Batman won't stop doing what he does when the Joker is gone. It is Joker who needs Batman to give his chaos any meaning. But Batman? He has far to many other things to deal with.
batman literally fighting villains on other planets and joining justice league dark going to other dimensions like joker has to plan his crimes around batman's schedule not the other way around 💀
Philosophically, yes. They represent two opposing ideas when confronted with the problem of nihilism. Both of them have faced the hard reality of a cold, uncaring universe, and the ultimate meaninglessness of existence - this is something they share, and it connect them. They react to it in very different ways. Batman dedicates himself to imposing meaning through sheer force of will - doing what he thinks is right, because his strict moral code gives him the purpose he needs. Joker sees this meaninglessness as liberating: If nothing matters than one course of action is no better or worse than any other, morality is a fiction, and he is free to act in any way he wishes. This is Joker's fascination with Batman. Joker understands 'the joke' - the big one. That everything that exists, has existed or will exist ultimately does not matter. The ultimate absurdity of life, that is nothing but self-replicating patterns possessed of grandiose delusions. It will all end one day in ruin and oblivion, that even the stars will burn out and the universe will spread into infinite emptiness. The sheer ridiculousness of those who will fight for a cause, as if any cause is more valid or right than any other. Billions of people who go about their lives, unable to comprehend the pointlessness of it all. Joker gets the joke, and what he wants more than anything else is for other people to understand it too and laugh along with him. In Batman, he sees someone who who /almost/ gets the joke.
Especially since he was the one responsible for Bruce's death. Any one of them would have loved to get their hands on him and have a little chat about that 😅
Honestly, it fits Alfred so much to call Bruce his son because the man practically raised the dude. In any universe where Bruce dies before Alfred I can't imagine the pain Alfred would feel.
And thus, Joker has a formed new nemesis while working in the DMV. Me. You’re not gonna be laughing once I pitch a tent outside for my motorcycle license!
There are a few fictional settings I've read which play with that idea. They are not well-known though. One had an interesting take on heroic corruption. Hero-ing is big business - a good hero gets corporate sponsorship, and product endorsement deals, and paid appearances. Their 'secret identity' doesn't need to hold down an actual job when they are raking in millions, and there's nothing wrong with making a little personal profit so long as it doesn't compromise heroic duties. Until the day comes when the heroes are winning. New villains still appear, but their careers end before they grow experienced enough to be truly dangerous - and without worthwhile villains to fight, the glory is gone, and the money too. So some of the heroes work in secret on a novel idea: Villain farming. Find the up-and-coming villains, and help them a bit. Tell them were the ray guns can be stolen, turn a blind eye for a while. Pose as a secret villain organisation to offer them resources to grow stronger. And once they are big enough to get on TV and for the public to fear them a bit, stab them in the back with a big showy battle that ends in their capture. The Dire stories instead depict heroes and villains as something like professional wrestling. They fight, yes, but there are certain seldom-spoken rules. The heroes adhere to a code that prohibits killing villains, but the villains in turn understand that there are some lines they must not cross if they are to be included in the code - you never hurt children, for a start, or try to kill too many innocent civilians, or go after the friends and family of a hero to get at them. Cross the line and the heroes won't hold back next time. A certain amount of wisecracking in a fight is part of the game, put on a good show for the public. All parties have an informal agreement to adhere to this code because it is to their mutual advantage. The heroes because it keeps civilian casualties to a minimum and ensures they continue to have public and government support, and the villains because it ensures their own safety in the event of defeat so they may escape an try again. Of course they all know it's something of a show, but it's better than the alternative: Without the code collateral damage would be unimaginable. Both of these stories are set with the protagonist as a reluctant villain. They don't really want to be the bad guy, but they find they are forced in to the role regardless and have no choice but to embrace it if they are to survive.
Yeah , but he on the other hand had a line that I really remember the joker once saying in the TAS batman series Joker: without batman, crime has no punchline because without batman the joker could do nothing without his nemesis
That's why antifa is stupid to its core. If they succeed they've made themselves obsolete and what would all these self-proclaimed vigilantes do then? Being productive members of society? C'mon, they didn't buy their baklavas just to end up not smashing something of value!
Though a villain doesnt need to be a powered person. It could just be a disease or a harmful idea. The villain of the day could just be a natural disaster people need saving from. There are so many ways to be heroes, powers or not.
joker wondering if hes the only one sad about batmans death was interesting to me, he seemed genuinely upset that not enough people were expressing remorse
this made me cry but also when bruce dies i finally felt some sort of liberation hes finally free.. he wants to be with his family he gone off being batman, cape crusader, dark knight and becomes the nightmare after he gone off crazy for revenge... felt bad for joker as well despite him killing bruce he kind of kill his own friend 😢
This is why Heath Ledger joker is smarter than this one. "hehehehehe, I don't - I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, no. No you...you...complete...me."
1:36 I love how batman puts on the Bruce mask and not the other way around, Implying that batman is the real person and Bruce Wayne is the disguise/persona
“You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.”
Gotta give Joker credit, he picked the absolute best career for legally torturing and tormenting people that he could have chosen. With his demonstrated personality across decades of TV, movies and comics, yeah, perfect fit. Glad when I renew I don't have to go to Gotham City to do so.
Joker would never be a lawyer. That would imply he would help people or side with the "establishment" which he terrorized for years. No, DMV is a good middle ground.
I wonder if they’ll ever make an episode where the Joker will use the Lazarus Pit on himself and Batman so joker can have an eternity of fun with his arch nemesis.
Eggman: I finally killed sonic! Ahahhaahaha! The world is finally mine! Orbot: Now what doctor? Eggman: I'm gonna build some Badniks to defeat Soni- Cubot: Doctor, are you okay? Eggman: ...What have I done...? Orbot: Doctor? Eggman: All my life was to defeat Sonic and take everything, but in reality it was thanks to him that I pushed myself to make better robots...In reality...I always hoped he wons...That way I would feel the fun of keep going all these years...But now that I killed him... ...What now...?
Eggman's main goal isn't to defeat Sonic, but to take over the world and create Eggmanland. It was like that even before Sonic appeared in his life. If someone actually was in remorse after the victory against one another, it'd most likely be Sonic himself. Without Eggman, he was just a blue hedgehog that liked running fast and cared for nature, and thanks to Eggman he became a hero. If Eggman is defeated, there's nothing left for Sonic to do, besides trying to continue his life normally (which would be boring later), or at least take a huge rest
Man I just found your channel and I can’t wait to go through the whole thing. You are seriously underrated and obviously have a ton of success coming your way. Please keep up the amazing work!! Also you have sick voice dude. Here’s to being subbed before 100k
There are two references on jokers bomb a smilex duck tape witch is a references to 89 joker and sign has "why so serious" on it witch is a dark knight reference to one of the greatest jokers
02:27 He loves batman most. And death of batman make him not to laugh anymore. So he became sad but people are not sad. At this point, he became upset also.
DMV: my god you're the joker, a mass murdering, psychopath hellbent on inflicting suffering on everyone Joker: so i don't get the job? DMV: what are you crazy, you're perfect!!!
