You can't have a circus in the park if the park is dirty, and after the circus leaves the park, it needs to clean up the park. ) he realized it would be even more fun if it fell in line with everyone else's day off Just clean up, Gotham park to mess with Batman. Bombs attempt Of murder. Robbery. All of that aside. What the joker always wants most out of Batman is Mess with his head. And even doing something As mundane as this is more than enough to count.

The funny thing about this is that this is actually the reality that Batman secretly wants. But he knows that at any time, when you least expect it, a crime can happen.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

@@Kami74159 There is a reason why it is the job of governments. The reason is people like Bruce Wayne. They benefit personally from social inequality. Not necessarily by giving them an excuse to assault petty criminals as a hobby, but mostly because it gives them power over others and keeps wages low. And the only reason some governments have become unable or unwilling to do this job is people like Bruce Wayne. The idea that the money issued by governments is wasted and therefore private enterprise is more efficient has encouraged deregulation and fostered monopolies, for the benefit of you get the idea. The phrase "golden parachute" is used unironically nowadays. "Revolving door" and "regulatory capture" have also become common. The root problem is the misbegotten idea that money is finite and what you can get for it is not, so there is incentive to extract as much money from the economy as possible while there are still things that can be bought. Which is enough to imply that Batman is not serious. But if he were, there are things he could do, easily. Not preventing good policies would be a start. The deregulated economy also calls people like him "job creators" even though the name of the game has been "downsizing" for decades now. Governments can create jobs which fosters the economy and reduces poverty, crime, and, yes, mental illness. But so can captains of industry. They don't even need to pay for it with their own money. But, as mentioned above, they have no incentive to do so. And as Margaret Thatcher stated when she privatised government services and deregulated the economy: "There is no such thing as society. There are only incentives." Famously, a Mr Musk has announced on a website he later bought that if the UN could present him with a plan for how a fraction of his inherited wealth could alleviate world hunger, he would pay the required amount. The UN did present him with that plan. Apparently he believed that to be impossible, because so far he has not kept his promise. He does donate enough money to a charity about homelessness to not pay any taxes, a charity that seems surprisingly ineffective and seems to use its funds in ways that return those donations to him. Batsy is in an even easier position because, for one, he is fictional, and for another, depending on writer, Gotham is a company town built by and around WayneCorp or, when it isn't, he has enough power and influence to reign in certain politicians he doesn't like. Now, back to governments not doing their job: When that happens, when enough people resort to crime to survive (which has higher risk, lower reward, and no government benefits compared to honest work), crime becomes organised. In some cases this has led to organised crime running hospitals and schools and creating jobs and fostering small businesses, effectively doing government work without the accountability of government. And in practically all instances of Batman, organised crime is a huge problem in Gotham City for Batman to do something about. (Although it would be WayneCorp who is selling the mobsters their hardware. Incentives.)

Yeah, too many writers forget this aspect of The Joker. He's absolutely scared of "getting stale", and identifies himself with chaos. The "joke" he's always on about is that it's all meaningless because they're in a comic book where everything just reverts every time. Nothing either of them do matters, because it'll get retconned or rebooted or undone somehow. All their actions are meaningless. The one time he got grand cosmic power, after getting bored of torturing reality he tried to kill the multiverse over it. So he does whatever the hell. If cleaning up litter helps him destress, he's not going to be concerned about his brand. He would find it a billion times funnier to see everyone fleeing in terror of him while he does nothing bad, and might reward anyone who has the guts to ask him what's up.
