The Psychology of The Joker | Dissecting Minds 

This video is just awesome. Joker and Batman are this type of duo we honestly will never tired of. :)

And all it takes is one... bad... day...

When I think of the concept of the Joker, I often am reminded what the killer in the movie _Seven_ tells the cops. Something along the lines of _People are asleep, and nothing short of a baseball bat to the head will wake them up_ . In a sense, the Joker *is* that baseball bat. The chaos he brings is, in a sense, Postmodern. He respects no social norm. He is the _Clownworld_ . In that sense, he is the truth that everyone's hiding. And the truth hurts.

The Joker’s obsession with corrupting everyone and everything is to show that nothing is above corruption, degradation, ruin, and collapse. Because that is what happened to him. If he can destroy everything in the world, then they are no better than him, they just didn’t have their bad day yet, but he will give it to them. It acts as a defense mechanism

Hey guys hope y'all enjoyed the video. It's a new video series, hope you liked it. ALSO this video had so many Copyright Claims on it so please if you can Share the video to help out :P PS: I'd really suggest everyone read Dr. Travis Langley's book on the matter. Without it, I wouldn't have gotten the insights I got for this video!

Wow. I really appreciate your cinematic approach in video editing, and I was very captivated from the very beginning. Good job ! I’ve seen a lot of videos on the joker, and this one by far is the best orchestrator.

Great Intro! And I like the depth you put in. Especially the CJung comparison

Great video. I'm no psychologist, but even I can see why you couldn't narrow down the Joker's psychology. Simply put Joke has no singular definitive interpretation. Essentially this comes down to the writers simply needing a foil to Batman's order through fear of him by criminals, SO they take the normally happy and positive clown motif and made it into the Joker who does over the top schemes that don't spread joy but chaos and destruction, often making him seem insane. The different Jokers basically vary on a spectrum, on 1 end is the campy one from the 60s, he fights Batman but does over the top schemes that the audience laughs at the ridiculousness of. On the other end of the Spectrum is the Agent of Chaos, often depicted by Heath Ledger's Joker, a seemingly insane clown themed villain who does crazy schemes just for chaos, destruction and killing people. From there the writers often depending on the type of media will add his motives. Doing it cause he wants to, or wanting to challenge Batman and his morals, or pushing Batman to his limits to make him actually try to kill the Joker. Most heroes and villains through the reboots follow some general iteration of the character, but Joker never does, At his most basic Joker is just a clown themed villain who does his crimes for insane motives. So you have to analyze each individual Joker instead of Joker as a whole. It also doesn't help as rarely does Joker have a back story, his most iconic one is him for whatever reason took up the mantle of a small time crook called the Red Hood and in a fight with Batman at Ace Chemicals falls into a vat of chemicals that bleaches his skin white and hair green, and maybe damages his mind. Whatever iteration we see he's always fun, watching Batman fight him and challenges his wit against Joker's seeming insanity, always knowing that it would be easy for Batman to just kill him and end this menace, but that he can't as it would mean Joker wins as Bat's would break his moral code of not killing. I think it would be cool if in the comics Joker actually reveals that the reason he does what he does is because at one point he was capable of reason, but because of all the blunt force Batman used on him over the years his brain received permanent damage, so in a way Batman made him only worse. That could be a cool plot for the future.

Remember me when this blows up 😃

How has this video not reached over a million likes

This channel is too good for UsTube at least not in it's final form

At least the joker is honest. Batman creates the problem and then goes in to be the hero.

Who's here before Joker 2? xD

that guy peterson seems so damn unhappy and yet he tells us we are all wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dostoyevsky/Nietsche the superman.Man above morality

To understand The Joker is very complex. He acts like a nihilist.He isn't afraid of death or pain.But he is a bit sadistic too. Which is hypocritical.If nothing matters, I don't matter.You don't matter.The world doesn't matter.Even Joker himself doesn't matter. But if nothing matters,then why does he do the things he does?If one believes that life doesn't matter,then he might end his life[suicide]. And since Joker does some things that may cause him death,he is a bit suicidal. But still he has a goal to prove that deep down...we are all bad.Even as pure as Batman[who is actually a good guy here] is evil.I can surely say he is a bit of everything except humanity and love and emotions.He is hypocritical. Also Joker has no ID because no one cared to enlist him as a citizen as a child.[That is my theory].Different interpretations have different backstories,you can't explain him if u think about every comic and movie. But the worst part is ...He is disturbingly real.And he may exist in this real world. We only abide by the rules because we want to think themselves as good and want to be liked.Maybe if we could and if we had to we will all be as good as Joker himself. I can talk about him all day.So you better reply to this long comment. Although it doesn't matter.Nothing does.It is just a bad joke and that is why it is funny.Why so serious??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bro you sound like Werner Herzog 😂

the joker IS the Trickster coming alive and burying the real mind into his subconscious, he is reversed. if that makes sense. that's how I interpret it. He let the trickster take full control over him, something we are afraid to do, to be fully ourselves. Love Joker even more after this video. He is a perfect character, not a villain, just the ultimate , perfect character ever created. Love him. your questions at the end: am I insane? am I a psychopath?... I think everyone is to a certain extent. as we all have these archetypes in us, it makes us all a little insane, psychopaths etc. some of us can hide it behind a mask, some let it out fully. that what make us different.

Psychopaths & fanatics never question themselves

I thought the term insane was a legal one, not a clinical one?

Yeah but what do you expect people to do once they realize they’ve been living a lie? I promise you, in the long run, it doesn’t matter

Why so serious?

Arthur Fleck was the loser version of The Joker...Heath's portrayal was so much more engrossing.
