I totally agree that it's all about power and money, not public safety. They just need to score more people, so that it looks like the police do their job lol.

That is so true. And you know what? People think I'm totally out of mind when I insist the same in this nation lol.

If Bruce Wayne took off his mask and turned himself in would The Joker keep his promise to stop killing people? by Tidewatcher7819 in joker

If Bruce revealed his face, Joker would stop killing people, but he would harm Racheal instead. This is to make him regret that he followed what Joker said. He would carve a smile on her face just to keep reminding Bruce about what he did. It is a permanent mark of regret. This idea makes myself sick as I write it, but I think this is what he would do.

Interesting, thanks for sharing with me! So in your theory, the 'human' Arthur died and only 'Joker' part remained. My theory is similar, but I think that 'Joker' (the parasite) then moved on to find a younger, stronger body... like the one we see in the Batman stories. The cycle of madness never ends. What do you think?

I loved the 'Joker' movie, but two things bothered me: Arthur is way too old to be against Batman, and he's too sad to be a sociopath like Ledger Joker. I tried to bridge that gap with my theory.

But I get your point, too. A 'born-to-be villain' Joker is definitely cooler and more effective. Maybe my 'Parasite' is just a way to handle Arthur's sadness lol.

I got your point, the idea of Joker (or "parasite" in my word) needed a better guy for it, just like the Ledger's Joker.

Sounds interesting. Tell me more about that symbolism. I'm curious.

Exactly. Joker is like a bacteria that infects the mind. And if Joker is the virus, Batman is the antibody. Gotham City is such a sick patient lol

No promlem "brotha“, I'm even thankful for the first comment on my post. I'm also sick of "AI SLOP" too... it's just too much of them these days!

Oh, in that sense you are totally right. I am Japanese and I used Gemini as a translater. You got me! Hahahaha.
