Adult animation, in fact, all Batman's works are talking about a theme: Batman is not a hero, he is a traumatized person with a paranoid sense of justice, and the reason why many of his behaviors are so in pursuit of formal rules (not killing people) is that Because of his own dark side restraint, but also because of this, he does not communicate, does not explain, has a strong desire for control, and only uses his own way to save and assume the justice of a city. This is not justice. This is the forcible suppression and projection of the dark side of the individual. , So Batman is indeed the most selfish person, through the most self-sacrificing and selfless way. Therefore, we know that Batman’s enemies are all projections of self, all of which he created, like a circle, returning to the injustice and disorder that he avoided in the beginning. There is nothing fascinating about the atrocities of the clown. I fell in love with the anti-social personality of the Joker only because the Joker’s actions contrasted Batman’s sad and lonely eternal struggle and struggle, just like the myth of Sisyphus, his paranoid persistence created everything. The clown is just a symbol. The anti-social personality is neither cool nor profound. If you only see the charming clowns, you will only see the ridiculous and absurd part of human nature, but you will not see the compassionate part of human nature that should be seen. This is Batman and the Joker. The difference is what we really should see and understand through these fictional stories and people.
