RE: Most Mind-Blowing Theory I Ever Heard
I think the general trend seems to be that the joker will eventually morph into the hero, while batman is seen more and more as the villain. Shakespear uses the jester, or the joker to speak truth to power. So the role of joker may become more complex and nuanced as Bruce Wayne, the law and order corporatist is seen more as the root cause of the reason why there is so much crime in Gotham. I think it would be interesting to put together a backstory where we develop some sort or sympathy for this character and provide a stronger criticism of Bruce Wayne and Wayne enterprises.
Well, in the video, one of the things that senior psychiatrist was saying was that his level of awareness might be better suited to a time at the end of the twentieth century. Might be a clue there. Its possible that by then, Batman's inflexible, rigid idea of justice might be seen as too outdated and outta place, and the Joker's ability to adapt to anything based on the nature of his awareness would prove necessary for turbulence experienced in those times. So an anti-hero of sorts, while Wayne's position starts to diminish or something.
Personally, I'd like to see something where they fight back to back, and actually look out for each other or something.
