The old fisherman picked up a demon that was sealed in a bottle by King Solomon, but the demon wanted to kill his benefactor. "It was very difficult to be imprisoned in a bottle with no light, and I secretly made a promise: 'If anyone saves me in this century, I will let him enjoy the glory and wealth for life. 100 years have passed, and no one has touched this bottle at all. At the beginning of the second century, I thought to myself: 'Whoever rescues me in this century, I will repay him greatly and open up underground treasures for him.' But still no one has approached the bottle. The third century begins Although I waited a little impatiently, I still thought: 'If anyone saves me in this century, I will deeply bless him and fulfill his three wishes.' However, three whole centuries have passed, always No one came to rescue me, which made me very angry. I swore: 'If anyone comes to rescue me at this time, I will kill him. For the sake of saving me, let him choose a way to die. 'And you, the fisherman, happened to be the one who came to save me at this time. Tell me, what method of death do you want to choose?" - "One Thousand and One Nights"

The Joker is the sealed demon who once held tender love for this bad world. Amusing kids on the subway, working hard, trying to take care of a mentally ill mother, and always wanted to be a comedian and bring laughter to people. He was treated indifferently by passers-by, framed by colleagues, deceived by his mother for decades, and mocked mercilessly by his idol star. . . It was as if a hundred years passed and no one rescued him, even everyone who passed by threw a stone at him, causing him to fall deeper into the sea. So he chose the ultimate evil, and became a leader and a symbol of all the desperate.
