5 Times The Joker Has Saved Batman's Life

[@CoolGuy-te1pt]

My favorite portrayal of their “relationship” is where the Joker actually doesn’t want to kill Batman, but actually wants to push Batman to the point where he’ll break his code and kill him. This is my favorite because it’s just so interesting to think about how the Joker considers being murdered by Batman is winning.

[@commentlurker3874]

and batman dying with his code intach is a lose for him

[@messiah1915]

Well there is *that* batman. "Ha, Ha, Ha"

[@DaMoniable]

@@messiah1915 If youre making a cheeky poke at the Batman Who Laughs, i do agree xD I think if the 'non darkmetal universe' joker knew about the batman who laughs, you'd see a very similar scene as the one in Arkham Knight.

[@DaMoniable]

This is actually the very reason why i enjoyed the hulk joker fight at the end of arkham asylum. People always say that Joker wouldnt do it, but i personally think that Joker was banking on Batman giving up the antidote instead of using it on himself. This is even further played on at the end of arkham city's "I would have given you the antidote." and also likely why jokers death weighed so heavily on batman. Because it all stimmed back to the one singular moment where he didnt give joker the antidote in asylum.

[@aeroplane53]

Making batman kill is winning

[@notyourstationtrainwreckgo2317]

I remember a comic where Joker tells Batman that he never wants either of them to win (aka die/give up) because then the game is over. In most Batman/Joker versions, the Joker thrives off Batman. Without Batman, he feels he is nothing. Even in The Dark Knight movie, Ledger’s Joker tells Batman, “Kill you? I don’t want to kill you! No, you complete me.” And in the animated series, Sid the Squid kills Batman by accident, which Batman uses to his advantage, and the Joker is both sad and pissed that Sid killed Batman and tries to kill Sid but Batman saves Sid. “it’s complicated” is a good description of their relationship for sure. I love their dynamic and how they are polar opposites. They are probably best hero/villain pair ever IMO

So, one thing about the Batman and Joker dynamic that brings a bit of additional perspective is that the Joker, in the process of being the murderous crown prince of crime who deems himself the only person allowed to kill Batman and only when he decides to do so, is also kinda helping against the criminal underworld of Gotham in his own way. First off, he puts a big, twisted, smiling face on Gotham's criminal underworld, keeping it in the spotlight and incentivising people to want something done about it. Without public support for Gotham's various crime fighters, the various mafias and gangs would basically be able to go around unchallenged. Secondly, Joker and Batman basically play off of each other. Joker often gets involved with the other Batman rogues, and inadvertently (or possibly intentionally depending on which of his many "multiple choice" origins Joker is going by that day) acts as a beacon that draws Batman into direct conflict with them through his actions. And of course if one of the other rogues is about to kill Batman, Joker keeps them in check like an unintentional double agent.

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

To the joker and his twisted mind the relationship they share is important, entertaining even. The idea that he can wake up in Arkham again to plan his next crazy scheme excites the joker, the fact that Batman will always be there to fight him delights the joker. He enjoys the battles much to Batman’s dismay and so on multiple occasions when other villains try to intervene and ruin the Batman he will step in purely because he wants the chaos to continue. Most of the destruction in the city is because of Batman so why would he stop Batman now? He would rather let the joke keep going, just long enough before he can deliver the final punchline.

I love how The Panda Redd does Batman and Joker's "Relationship" by it being that Joker says he wants to kill Batman but in reality, he just wants Batman to rail him (Have adult fun with him 😉) He isn't serious about it, he does it cuz of multiple art directions in the comics that look very, well you know XD

I think the games show how joker wants to kill Batman, he wants to Batman into a joker. To go so mentally insane he’s worse than the joker. Yes there’s “The Batman who laughs” but for people like me who can’t read them in person or online the games offer a slightly more “physical” ground to base it on

Batman is needed for gotham but his death is also the key to cure the joker

You know its all true, because in bayam arkham night, his identity get revealed and he is forced to die, as the joker is no longer around
