Well I guess so

[lawofcosines]

not coincidental that they're happening in Iraq and Lebanon just when the US and Turkey are occupying Syria

a lot of joker symbolism. It's written: "it's time for accountability"
Ah yes, never has a character been more about accountability than the joker.

I think it’s moreso to do with the chaotic defiance of the Joker

one movie doesn't change the 80 year history of the character tho

[trancexperiment]

I’m not saying it did, I’m just saying that’s what his character interpretation in the new movie represents to them

What a time to be alive.

Following that V for Vendetta hype plan.
