Jere and I were watching The Dark Knight a little while ago and again I was struck with a thought that hits me a lot when I watch movies. I often find myself wondering what this villain would be like in his personal time when they're not trying to kill the hero. This thought hit me again while I was watching the Joker tear through Gotham. I mean, it stands to reason that not every second in his life is devoted to going after Batman or destroying things. So, what does the Joker get up to during this downtime? Does he watch TV? If so, what kind of shows does he watch and why? What does he like to eat? I mean, if his henchmen go out to get food, what does the Joker tell them to bring back for him? Is he a Whopper man or does he prefer the Big-Mac? Maybe he prefers fine dining. Does he have a set time he prefers to sleep or does he just kind of collapse at some point from exhaustion? If he has a set bedtime, does he brush his teeth and change into some sleeping clothes? Does he have conversations with his henchmen that don't involve Batman, taking over Gotham or threatening to dismember them?
These are the questions I'd like to see an answer to for some reason. I want to see Candid Joker. I want to see the casual side of the Clown Prince. DC Comics, make it so.
