First, let’s revisit the joke that the Joker said at the end of the film that made Batman amused:
Joker: Let me tell you a joke. There used to be a lunatic asylum. There were two lunatics who were good friends. One day, when they were about to escape from prison, they went up to the roof. One of them skips the roof and asks the second to skip too. The second one did not dare to jump and said: "The roof is too high, I will fall to death!" The first said: "I turn on the flashlight, you walk along the beam of light!" The second looked at the first and said: "I know, you will turn off the flashlight when I'm halfway!" Isn't that funny? Ha ha ha ha……
The two lunatics in this joke are Batman and the Joker. The lunatic who happened to jump over the roof was Batman. And the one who didn't jump over was the clown. Batman insists that the Joker should jump over the roof and cross the abyss, and is willing to help him and show him the way (turn on the flashlight). The clown insisted not to jump over, thinking it was meaningless. Because of fear? Not really. Why does the clown never want to take this step?
Obviously, both of them have their own perverted persistence and pathological persistence. Batman insists not to kill, no matter how vicious the villain, he must be sent back to prison or Arkham, just like turning on a flashlight in that joke. Deceive yourself and others, that's all. Isn't the so-called absolute justice a joke? And the clown has already seen through, he knows that nothing can stop himself, the prison cage? Arkham? There is no way to stop a criminal genius like himself. There used to be a doctor who claimed to heal himself. Now he has been assimilated and turned into a Harley Quinn. After the face of a double-faced person is completely ruined, even if he undergoes cosmetic surgery, he still cannot change his distorted mind. In the face of these lunatics and villains, is treatment useful? Is detention useful? To put it ugly, the clown returned to the Arkham Club when he was tired. Want to go out anytime. So the Joker would not take that step. On the contrary, he would still laugh at Batman on the other end of the abyss and laugh at his uselessness.
It is precisely because of the existence of super villains like the Joker that the superhero like Batman has the meaning of existence. Otherwise, ordinary police can deal with ordinary fraud and robbery. So the Joker made Batman. In the same way, Batman is also responsible for the production of the Joker, and the two complement each other. One insists on absolute justice and the other insists on extreme evil. Both extremes cannot be truly achieved. But spiritually, it is not an exaggeration to say that the two rely on each other and are friends with each other.
Batman, the Joker will never die. Batman can't kill people, let alone the Joker, and the second clown is also "reluctant" to kill Batman. In theory, the clown is an immortal existence. Whoever kills the clown will pay a very serious price, and everyone will suffer together (Don’t believe it? See "Unrighteous League" for details)
