Joker: to kill the killer

To kill or be killed is not the only options, I think there is another question answers to this one, to love or hate

To love:

Joker, he is one of the most interesting villains I’ve seen in a comic to this day. He is a psychopath but also a comedian. His creators have given us many sides of his story and personalities. But his psychotic obsession with chaos has always been his main persona. We think we are completely different from him and are more like Batman - the hero of the comic.

No person can make another pereon laugh without an understanding of another human being or more simply put empathy. This understanding can only come from being able to feel. To empathise emotions both good and bad. Yes he is twisted, and yes he’s killed countless innocents but he also has emotions; if anything his feelings are overwhelmingly strong and passionate. What is the trigger? what creates psychotic behaviours?

What are our thoughts when we hear psychopath?

Thoughts of danger, animals, a person with no understanding of pain. Someone who lives in a painless world therefore creating pain for others. One of the main triggers of psychotic behaviour is psychological pain, especially when it concerns someone like Joker.

If you heard a story about a boy who was forced to watch his parents being killed, while all he could do was helplessly watch, would call him a psycopath or identify with his pain. So now I ask you who is the Joker?

If something is ever too much for any of us to handle, like something too heavy to pick up, we look for another way around it, like asking for help from someone else. But in the instance of Joker he had no way around the emotions he was feeling. He didn’t know how to ask or accept help, therefore he put away the thing that made him vulnerable. His empathetic ability - to feel pain. This causes psychosis and triggers psychotic behaviours. So now what would you say? Is Joker a Villain or something else completely.
