The Joker: Clown, Psychopath, Mass-Murderer - Progressive Thinker?

Aug 19, 2010 15:08

I have the strangest feeling I've blogged on this very topic before, but I can't for the life of me remember when and I couldn't find anything when I did a quick search. So forgive me if I'm repeating myself.Everytime some pointed political topic comes up in fandom, I get to thinking about why I love the Joker so gosh-darned much ( Read more... )

I...agree wholeheartedly. The only time I can see Joker killing an incapacitated person (one he didn't himself incapacitate, it should be said, and not an opponent) is when he is having a fit of blind rage. But really he becomes nearly animalistic during such fits and those fits are few and far between. I write Joker as a "roleplayer"...an unusual pastime...and one thing I try to consider at all times is "Would Joker find this funny?" It is too easy to fall into the trap of "If it's violent, he'd be amused by it." It's something I think I've finally gotten pretty good at, since I've managed to identify the patterns you noted here. And for that I am grateful. It's an uncommon angle in roleplaying circles; enough that I've found myself wondering whether or not I was seeing something that wasn't there.

I think the issue here is your reading comprehension. No one else has had any difficulty.

Ah, The Joker. An equal opportunity asshole.

He really does love everyone. After all, "To love all equally is to hate all equally". :)

Essentially, if all the world's a stage, then the Joker's a discerning viewer. As it were.
