The Dark Knight: Green and Purple Argyle, Of All Things

Disclaimer: The Joker and The Dark Knight belongs to DC Comics. I just like to play.
A/N: Referencing this screencap, although we'll pretend the grating doesn't go all the way down to the floor. Better-suiting titles would be awesome, and I'm sorry if the POV sounds like he's from a gazillion different places at once.

I love it! It's in such an interesting point of view. I love the comparisons to "Christine," even though I know how fucked up that is XD.

Oh my, you really got inside that fucker mind.. The guy's machismo personality was so present in your language, all fleshed out. Even up to him Mom's chicken! Very fitting that the Joker's overwhelming twistedness, the 'wrongness', would register even to those dispicable punks watching him there. The ending was very apt. Nicely written!

Um, reeks of awesome?

I'm sorry, because I'm absolutely horrendous at writing truly concise reviews, but this was very well done. It's really been great checking out different POVs in TDK, and this was no exception. Excellent voice, characterization (and metaphors, let's not forget those) and you give just enough of this original character to make him interesting but not too much to make him a Jerry-Sue (though I doubt you'd do that, anyway). I've never pondered what the other inmate-folk thought of the Joker when he was residing in Central, and this really put a lot in perspective.

So anyway: yeah. You must keep writing, 'cuz this was pretty schweet.

It's just so perfect! Some of the lines were just breath-taking.

*huuuuugs* Thanks so much! The muse just hit me last night - she's very flighty but I'll try my best to tempt her to stay.

Well, I should hope she does! (I find cupcakes help!)

Really, the best fic I've read in a while! :)

I loved this! The different POV was really well done and refreshing, and I love that even though it's totally from an OC's perspective, it's still totally Joker-centric. This line in particular: "a high-pitched rollercoaster of a talk, stopping when he oughta start like a chokin' engine" described his speech so well. Mem'ing. :]
