The Joker why would you feel insulted if she meant it in a good way? Even if she meant it in a bad way at least she liked you before she heard the fan theory, Joker. Edit: For clarification, the guy above me had the channel name "The Joker" before he must've changed it to King Tomato. So before It was one if those things where someone pretends to be a fictional character and everyone else goes along with it. That's the context you need for my comment..

[@Bollecider]

its only a theory

[@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709]

martin53mattsson You say that like that dismisses it. Theories are backed by facts and are accurate descriptions of reality.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

When the Joker says that there's a "fine line" between a clown and a mass murderer, he's not just making a dark joke; he's literally saying that a clown and a (fictional) mass murderer both serve the same purpose. A clown tells jokes, does magic tricks, and makes balloon animals; he makes people laugh and cheer. Their purpose is to entertain. A comic book villain creates a foil for the hero, providing them obstacles and challenges to overcome. They create suspense and excitement. Their purpose is to entertain. from the perspective that The Joker knows he's fictional, when he says a clown is no different from a super villain, he means that literally.

[@ManuelHernandez-ze6vm]

His trying to tell you that the real world we live in is fake .. And you are a fictinal character in this world. Your name in all capital letters in your ID and social security are your fictional characters made to punish you and decive you into thinking they have power over you is call the (straw man.)He a clown because once you find out thus world lie to you you feel like a clown a joke to this fake world.. He is tje real hero trying to save the world from evil that control with lies. Is real life shit but is way to crazy to be real ..thats why he reasures u he is not crazy..

This theory gives an imfamous death new context. When Jason Todd as Robin was introduced not many people like him. He was claimed to be a Dick Grayson Copycat. So DC posted a poll to decide what they should do, keep him or kill him. After the poll was decided, A Death in the Family was released, and you know who killed off Jason? That’s right, the clown himself. Knowing that his fans weren’t pleased with Jason, the joker took the liberty of doing what the fans wanted, killing the boy wonder.

[@kelvinphillips7140]

I know this is six months later, but anyway... It wasn't just the fact that he was a nearly exact clone of Dick Grayson in terms of circumstances, it was also what happened when writers realized this and tried to fix this. The result was an unlikable, violent mess that was 180 degrees turn from what he was before. Now people had problems with him being a robin-clone, but this? No one was asking for a violent, kill happy, disrespectful to Batman anti-hero who just turned people off. In some respects, it could even be called a mercy killing.

[@infamousplayer8772]

The worst part is that the comic you showed in the end proves that not even the Joker himself knows if he's right or not. He can never be actually sure if he's a fictional character, if his actions have no consequences, that nothing that he does actually matters. He lives in a constant state of doubt because he can obviously never completely break the fourth wall, or he would cease to exist. For a character who's whole world view revolves around knowing that he doesn't actually exist, not knowing that for sure is honestly the biggest hell I can possibly imagine for anyone.

[@hannahmonteiro9229]

Nah, he IS sure that he does not exist. His *true* hell is that he is unable to actually *do* anything about it (like Deadpool is). He can *see* the strings he (and everybody else) is dangling from, he can *see* the stage and the audience, but he is unable to actually *do* anything with this knowledge. *That* is the true torture: he knows that, no matter what he does, the good guys will win in the end and he will go back to Arkham until the next Joker episode. So he does what he does to both enjoy the ride and secure his own existence by being so freakishly over the top that the fans cannot help but like it and demand his return.

[@centerloper]

@@hannahmonteiro9229 If that were the case, he would not have turned a leaf when Batman died. He is not sure.

[@hannahmonteiro9229]

@@centerloper He very much *is* sure. However, Batman dying threw him for a serious loop - like the video said, Batman's "death" temporarily did away with his supersanity because a comic book killing off its own main hero was completely absurd to the point of making him doubt what he knew about the world (that being fictional). ...or maybe there is another explanation: he thought that, with Batman's death, he could finally be free from being cast as the main villain - after all, when the hero is dead, what need is there for the villain? He thought that the script had finally run its course, that he was finally free to live a normal life. And for a while, he did. But then Batman returned and he was like "Yeah, right....like they would let me go that easily. Well, it was a good vacation while it lasted. Now, let's get back to it. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!"

Finally someone who's ACTUALLY able to differentiate between psychotic and psychopath.

[@markcobuzzi826]

So, I was just wondering if my understandings of these three terms are correct. If you know the definitions for a fact and it is no inconvenience for you, could you look over how I would define them and see what is accurate/inaccurate about my definitions, so I can finally get these right: Psychosis: A form of insanity where a person's cognitive functions are impaired/disordered, making it more difficult to think rationally, properly perceive reality, and/or understand what is right or wrong to begin with. Psychopathy: A condition leading to anti-social and/or destructive behavior, associated with a lack of empathy/guilt, manipulative tendencies, impulsiveness, or inclination towards violence. The root cause is mainly mental illness, like genetic diseases or damaged physiological functions that impair the ability of certain brain parts to function. However, the person can still think rationally, make properly calculated decisions, and/or at least understand what proper social norms are, thus making him/her not technically insane. Sociopathy: A state of mind where a person exhibits similar anti-social and harmful behaviors that a psychopath might show, but the cause is more nurture, rather than nature. Societal upbringing and/or the person's life choices is the main driving force. It might take more effort for a sociopath to conceal any destructive tendencies he might have and blend into society, because of how a sociopath can both understand reality and can still occasionally feel guilt or the weight of s moral compass on his/her mind. So as an analogy, I am guessing that a psychotic is the equivalent of one who might actually think at one point that 1+1=3, while a psychopath/sociopath is one who understands math and knows 1+1=2, but might not care to follow the rules, due to their respective nature/nurture. So barring the creative theory of the Joker's behavior being caused by him knowing he is a fictional character, I am assuming that the Joker is mostly sociopathic (due to his main motivation being the "one bad day" he had, him losing faith that life has any meaning/justice/worth, and the Joker wanting to prove his nihilistic philosophy to the world), has a small bit of a psychosis (inability to remember his own past, which he refers to as feeling like "multiple choice" at times), and may or may not have traits of a psychopath mixed in (since I do not know he has anything physically wrong with those parts of his brain to contribute to these behaviors).

[@thenarcissistsscapegoat5091]

After several years of research after being victimized by a woman in organized crime who was diagnosed with ASPD in prison I have concluded in fact psychopaths ARE psychotic in one sense: They fail to grasp the reality that the system is bigger than them, smarter than them, better organized than their clans are, and they WILL get caught. Over and over and over and over again.. just the past five years many of her inner-circle have been sent back to prison, three of them for life. When she got out, she immediately used me as an alibi to return to her life of crime, then when I went no-contact she didn't believe me so continued to use me as an alibi and she was caught - and sent back to prison. I only figured it all out much later. Now, either they have a serious lack of connection to reality or they've accepted prison as an acceptable form of 'tax' on their illegal enterprises. But a life sentence doesn't seem to be worth a million bucks unless you're already 90 and were just evicted from your nursing home. There is only so much one can purchase at the prison canteen. Also the fact psychopaths are 'criminally versatile', ie they don't stick to one form of crime, ideally either the most profitable or easiest to get away with, but branch out into everything regardless of risk, profit margins, market and interest points me to a serious deficiency towards reality-testing. It would be like me posting this comment on craigslist instead of right here where its most relevant and I am already am logged in. Finally, psychopaths often team up with other psychopaths. Knowing what we do about their disorder, what they know about themselves, and how the history of organized crime is replete with betrayal leading to murder by their own, they absolutely must be crazy. During my research I've discovered in fact most organized crime murders are indeed committed by people who were from the same clan, gang or group, usually over what certainly seems like 'nothing' to a sane rational mind.

[@joekarr4595]

Mark Cobuzzi You are mostly correct, but there is another characteristic to sociopathy that separates it from psychopathy - sociopaths are more impulsive, lack self-control. They are the ones most often caught. Joker would appear to fit this frame, but most of the times everything he does is pre-meditated. It just makes no difference for him to wind up in the asylum. Sometimes he even uses being sent there to his advantage

[@driveasandwich6734]

Imagine him trying to explain that on court. No wonder everyone thinks he is insane. As the video says, being insane basically means you have no control over your actions.

[@missmammallamma4456]

I think he has control over his actions, like every character does, but knows he has no control of his surroundings. maybe he does all of those crazy things because he knows if he doesn't became the main villain and keeps entertaining he could be killed off. or maybe, even though he has control of his actions because he's a sentient character, he always knows what is going to be written, and what will happen in every issue, but does whatever the writer has written he was supposed to do, because he does not want to change the comic and lose his ability to tell what will happen next, or maybe he fears consequences for breaking his character.

Because he is aware he is a character, and no one else is, he would be seen as suffering from the delusions associated with psychosis by everyone else.

This is likely why he would be found "insane" by a jury while not actually being insane in the grand scheme of things.

There are times where YOU know that stopping to attack an army of skeletons will probably get your party killed, but the character you created has such a hatred for undead magic that you have them stop and attack the skeletons. In real life we have the subconscious mind, which can figure things out and make decisions without your conscious mind even realizing you made that decision, or why. Going with that thought, it's possible that the "real you" is only controlling this you for entertainment value, or to use the simulation to figure out what to do in the "real world" Games don't necessarily need to involve spectacular plots where the fate of the world hangs on your decisions, sometimes we play rather mundane games. The Harvest Moon series is a game about farming. Animal Crossing is just about living in a neighborhood. There are plenty of games where the characters would think their lives are too boring to be a game.

Whenever he laughs, he knows he is only harming fictional characters? It's like when he gets stabbed, he just laughs. This is because he laughs at it being not real and not actually meaning anything. Am I right? Super sanity seems even worse than insanity. The Joker is aware of everything and that it is all fiction. As such, *nothing* limits him. Am I also right that he doesn't fear death because he will be brought back? Or does he just not care?

[@Joshua_Froschauer]

Sorta yeah I think

[@goldenking2046]

"It just so happens I have a very demanding public. I'm constantly striving to exceed their expectations! Do you have any idea how much pressure I'm under?" Joker doesn't fear death but he fears cancellation. He knows that as long as people keep buying Batman comics he'll keep getting brought back. But if the fans lose interest, if people no longer care, if at some point in the future DC finds Batman stories are no longer profitable, then he's gone for good, and his entire world as well. In his own twisted way he is protecting the people around him in the only way he knows how. When Akrham Batman said "you fear being forgotten", he didn't realize just how right he was.

[@jaylawrence8673]

I'd love to see a Batman movie, where the Joker reveals all this to Batman and then something conveniently happens to erase Batman's memory of the whole thing. And because the audience would then be aware that the Joker knows he's a fictional character, he could point out what a big plot convenience that is.

[@colinsmith1495]

Just one problem. My father's a psychologist and he told me a joke: There was a man walking down a street past an asylum, and one of the patients there walked along the fence next to him, staring at him. The man walked faster, and so did the patient. He walked slower, and so did the patient. Finally, he turned to the man and asked, "What is it? What do you want?" "Do you know why I'm in here and you're out there?" "No, no I don't know why your in there and I'm out here. Why is it?" "Because there are more people in the world like you than there are like me." It's not very funny, but then it's not really supposed to be. It is, however, true. Fundamentally, we define sanity and insanity by normalcy. To be insane, to be a mental disorder, it first and foremost has to be abnormal. So, if the Joker is aware of a reality radically different from the rest of the world, even if it is *our real reality*, then in the world of DC Comics, the Joker is psychotic. He has broken with reality and perceives a world very different from everyone else's. Just like Deadpool. Deadpool is psychotic. He is disconnected from the reality around him. He lives in his own special world, where everything is a comic book and Wolverine is immortal because he's popular, and no one truly dies, and pain is an illusion, though he's still connected enough to say it hurts.

[@kasaundraf]

whats the joke

[@ironbull0997]

Was he looking at a mirror?

[@colinsmith1495]

kasaundra falls The 'joke' is just that one man is 'crazy' because the rest of humanity disagrees with him on reality. We all see one moon when we look into the sky. If you meet a man who says he sees 3, all clear and about the same size, you think he's hallucinating, and everyone would agree with you. But if you were the only one to see one moon, and everyone else saw 3, you'd be the crazy one.

[@kasaundraf]

Colin Smith nah i think its because facehuggers released toxic fumes on the guys face

[@carameljenkins]

+Colin Smith To be fair, I don't think neither Joker not Deadpool are psychotic. Being aware of another reality doesn't disconnect you from the one you're in. I'll just stick to Deadpool for the moment. The people around him think he's psychotic because he's correctly aware of the reader and the fact that its a comic. I say correctly, because....he's not wrong. He just has a different perspective of the experience. Maybe if it wasn't real, as in a delusion or hallucination, you could argue psychotic. But our existence and the fact that he talks to us, the reader, that makes him not delusional at all. And being aware of different realities doesn't equal psychotic unless you want to throw every single dimension jumping character into that group. Since a new dimension is essentially a new reality and of course said being would need to be aware of them. And even in one of the Superman animated movies, where Lex Luthor was able to acquire his powers, he was suddenly able to see how Superman see's things and it was on a different level of energy and everything. Not disconnected but definitely more aware and it changed his life because it changed his view of the world. So I wouldn't regard neither Joker nor Deadpool, or anyone who is self aware as psychotic. Actually this whole thing reminds me of The Sixth Sense.....anyway. With regard to this statement "He lives in his own special world"...well yea. Technically we ALL do. None of us are living the same experience, we're just roles in each others personal journey. We just tend to get whats reality and whats normal brow beaten into our personal lenses at a very young age. Anyway, I don't really think you pointed out a problem at all, unless that problem is the society that decides whats normal is closed minded in trying to see someone else's perspective. Apparently the moment Harley Quinn actually tried to see it from Joker's perspective, she became a bit self aware herself. And that in itself says a lot.

*The Joker* The Joker has no psychiatric diagnosis. He's completely undiagnosable. He's highly developed, and he even has a really high sense of humor or sarcasm. He's also capable of manipulating other people's conscience, and is therefore essentially developed beyond all others. He essentially perceives things for exactly how they are, and dœs not have any unreasonable beliefs or chaotic behavior. It's actually very well controlled, and quite actually therefore very individualized: Such that it essentially comes across as whacky, funky, goofy or even nutty. He's even patterned out his own behaviors into repeated and therefore perpetual tendencies. The Joker is actually therefore even more sane than absolutely everyone else. Probably because his brain is more active than just about anyone else's. He's always correct, and he always says it exactly for how it is. He was once knocked into the Lazarus-Pit, but its essential induced insanity actually made him "normal". He even essentially knows that neither he nor his essential world of DC Comics books are real (which is literally the factor behind his own utter apathetic outlook of things and his blatant disregard for other comicbook characters), often communicates with his audiences and even remembers things from other paradoxes of DC and even of various crossovers that he's had, be it canon or be it uncanon (such as, remembering Spiderman from a previous uncanon past crossover, despite not ever even once being actually remembered by Spiderman). He's been repeatedly preemptively diagnosed with various essential personality disorders that have absolutely no connection with insanity. He's even once turned a page in his own comic, and has repeatedly gestured to the audience. He's been declared at Arkham Asylum as being not at all insane but rather completely, and get this one here: Supersane. And he was literally even capable of creating the character of Harley Quin, meaning that he essentially has the ability to create and therefore write his very own story of DC happening directly within the DC Comics reality by your courtesy (a.k.a: Yours Truly), "The Joker Himself". He's most certainly completely different from all other psychiatric or psychological cases (though especially at Arkham Asylum), and there's no real official solid so-called "diagnosis of insanity" at all (PERIOD) that can actually explain his nature because he's actually completely sane whereas it more completely seems like everyone else is basically only either "normal"(inbetween total sanity and total insanity) or insane. When Batman died, the Joker knew the writers would literally never kill off their title character and therefore immediately realized that without a Batman, there can be no Joker; He therefore immediately quit upon himself as the Joker, changed his name and essentially became "normal". He recognizes his role as the direct opposer of Batman, and is literally completely obsessed with him. His higher sense of reality and above-average level of sanity, therefore, might as well turn out to be a rather peculiar case of absolutely none other but of very high-functioning Autism. *The Batman* The Batman is most definitely an antisocial lunatic. He lives in a secluded bat-oriented technological spy-cave. He wears a supersuit and drives a supermobile just to repress his utter and total incapability to cope with the absolute death of his parents. He puts on a mask and plays with people out on the street, calling himself "Batman" to scare them. He tortures and even kills people for standing up to their repressors and that's his completely delusional sense of "justice": That "They get what they deserve" when they really don't at all, and he especially dœs it when or if it's essentially the completely other and therefore opposite way around. Batman often has but absolutely no "leg"(conviction) to stand on, probably a part of his utter delusionality, and noone would ever really deserve whatever dark, gut-wrenching, disturbing, disgusting, bloodthirsty, cold, sadistic, statistical, utter or extreme things that Batman would ever do to them; Absolutely everyone would deserve something far better than that. He has no conscience, no character, no personality and no soul.

As a Psychology student, honestly I always just assumed that The Joker would be considered a sociopath. I suppose the super sane theory makes sense in a way in terms of 4th wall being broken maybe, but it is quite possible for an individual to be intelligent and aware of their real surroundings while having a mental disorder (depending on the disorder). I just think that Joker is a sociopath that pretends to have different mental disorders. It may simply be part of the persona that he has created for himself. Although he may not suffer from psychosis he most definitely has a psychopathic personality which helps to classify him as a sociopath.

Technically the new 52 ISN'T fake. It's still canon, but DC Rebirth has found a way to make The New 52 AND pre-Flashpoint canon.

The way you said "You are imaginary right? Right?!" legit scared me. But us being real to the Joker must be as scary to him as the creatures in our daydreams turning out to be real would be to us.

Recent Rebirth comic supports this, with Joker complaining how story is getting ridiculous and that he and Batman are supposed to be fighting on the streets of Gotham and not go to the Moon

[@Shelovely8462]

hilarious!..

[@Achridian]

In the Heath Ledger version, the Joker even says “Schemers trying to control their ‘little worlds’. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempt to control things really are.” Almost like he knows that they’re really pathetic attempts at control, as the story writers and the audience will always demand that the control be upset to create a problem for the hero to fix.

[@charlessmith3177]

Ohhh my gosh!!! My mind is completely blown!! I never EVER expected that from the joker! It make completely sense now. I've always like the joker cuz he's just crazy and getting crazier such time I saw him, I just can't help but like the idea of him just crazy without a reason but now after this I just love the guy cuz he knew! He knew all the long, he was fake...

[@GarStazer]

I literally had chills when he said " have you ever thought that we're figment of their's"?

[@mistahterrific8757]

That theory is "so intense!" I definitely agree with what your saying and I hope DC use or teases more of this theory!

[@orestis9575]

Man I love the "so intense!" reference

[@imkerrusin]

One thing that does stick out to me is a statement Joker made in TAS: "Without Batman, crime has no punchline." I think this also acknowledged his awareness of being a fictional character, and with Batman gone, he didn't have any purpose anymore.

[@DarkInception]

Great theory. Just a minor correction, Spider-Man didn’t recognize him the second time because it was Ben Reilly, who had never previously met the Joker. Peter Parker was still Spider-Man in the initial Disordered Minds crossover when they met the first time.

[@bigbluedinothethird9781]

I want you to re-read what you just wrote slowly and tell me that Comic books aren't crazier than the joker.

[@alonelyperson6031]

People didn't notice 1 thing He want to be insane he want to be scary because if he does know that he's a comic character then he's trying his best to well not be forgotten because when your forgotten in a comic book it equal that you don't make the creator any more money's and what happen when that happen ? You get erased you won't appear any more you will die in the comic since nobody want to see you because they don't like you anymore and the one who creating isn't getting anymore money

[@rowbrogaming7268]

Joker: You are imaginary right? Me: You tell me😏

[@CosmosGamingChannel]

The joker has always told us what his motivation is. "All it takes is a little push" "All it takes is one bad day". His entire purpose is to bring out the darkness that lies within us all, with a particular obsession with corrupting Batman. He is not insane because it is true. Anyone can be pushed over the edge under the right conditions and that is the scariest part.

[@JonathanPaspula]

But in real lifea lot of people can endure a lot and remain good people. Some people truly are that strong, and some people have conquered that darkness No, what makes Joker more sane than people think, is his awareness that he is in a comic, His idea that nothing matters in the comics holds more weight considering his understanding of the 4th wall and the game and performance he’s basically been put in. Technically he wouldn’t be responsible for a single death. But yeah I never thought the philosophy of the killing joke was perfect

It would be cool if someone wrote a story where the joker starts to uncover this revelation. He starts to wonder how he does what he does and why a pool of chemicals that would normally kill someone did not harm him. Perhaps he fights Batman to test a theory. In the end he admits his world is crazy and not him.

Dead pool and Sans break the 4th wall in their respective comics/shows. They know they are fictional characters too and interact with the fans/readers/audience. I have this faint idea that meowth from Team Rocket used to do this too, a little though.

[@christang5671]

Ledger's joker definitely wasn't crazy. He was unpredictable and amoral but not unethical, and there was a deeply philosophical, even somewhat noble, bearing to his wicked schemes. Leto's Joker, I suspect, is going to just be an evil, hot-headed hedonist. I couldn't imagine Heath's Joker ever having a Harley Quinn; he just wouldn't be capable of any kind of real relationship with another human being. Heath's Joker was punk rock; Jared's Joker is hip-hop.

[@rotflolextreme]

With you until the punk rock hip hip thing, both are expressions of self through different vibrations. They do the same things just different styles of music and lyrical organization.

You're so right.
