The Joker's Head.

Seriously, where's the "shrink font" option?

Open Question
---------------------------------------------------
What diagnoses or personality disorder would the Joker have?


by Allaiyah W

Actually, pretty much all humans have minor mental or emotional disorders, the Joker & others deemed insane tend to have multiple &/or major disorders.

The Joker is a sociopath. He's the only person who has ALL the symptoms, which is suspicious. He was at least assumed to be so by pre-scarecrow Jhonathan Crane. http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/likalaruku/joker-the-very-definition-of-a-sociopath/87-38841/

He Is a compulsive liar, which attributes to his acting skills. He's also believe to be completely sane by Batman & an Arkham psychologist, but to be so moraly corrupt & emotionaly blank as not to care.

The Joker only semiantisocial in the sence that he does not work well with others. He does crave attention & praise, another child-like complex. Truth be told, if you put him in solitary confinement, he wouldn't be happy; he needs someone to pester. He had little patience for Harley Quinn & would often fly off the handle & try to kill her. Recently, he's become a lone wolf after killing off all his henchmen. The same can be said for Batman who's faux personality; Bruce Wayne, is forced to socialize to prevent association, but all his friends think he's a total jerk.

He has a disassociative disorder in which he belives that the world is a dream & only he & Batman are real. This of course contradicts his "super sanity." This is common in children & people usualy grow out of it & become exposed to the concept of empathy.

He's a genuine sadomasochist who derives pleasure equal to sex through inflicting & being inflicted with pain.

BATMAN: why did the Joker kill Harley Quinn?
  • -

Additional Details

i was just curious because at times he was really lovely too her, mostly just abusive but there was something there definitely :)


He didn't succeed, he's tried & failed several times. If you want to know why he tried at all, it's because she is simply the Joker's cheerleader/henchwoman, hired partly for her loyalty, partly for her ego boosting, partly for her acrobatics, & partly as a secondary play toy, you know, like little kids who rip heads off of dolls & stick them on robot bodies, only he prefers messing with her head.

Anyway, she has a tenancy to get too emotional & too close & he's just not down with that. She way have been smart enough to get a degree, but she's too dumb for him & offers no thrills like Batman. Sure she's fun to hit, but she doesn't hit back, & he'd probably respect her more if she did.

The Joker is like a child; he likes praise & attention, doesn't like to share his toys, lies at every given opportunity, & gets mad at stupid things, & thinks that he & Batman are the only things living in a dream world. In other words, he has absolutely no empathy or sympathy for Harley's feelings & no patience when she forces them on him. He especially hates it when she botches up plans for his preferred toy: Batman, the action figure who has better response to his manipulation.

Usually, whenever he's about to kill her, it's because of his short temper. Then he remembers she's not completely useless & relinquishes. Other times she's douses his temper by making him laugh.

Batman & the Joker are opposite reflections in a mirror & both have had dramatic personality/mental/physical changes in the past two years. Batman is a lone wolf & to compensate, the Joker no longer needs henchmen. He no longer needs Harley. & from what Harley told the former Riddler, she no longer needs him.

Hopefully, Bruce will be back in business sometime next year or 2

I just started reading last year & spent thousands building up my comic supply to catch up (even though I've beeen a fan since Batman TAS). & I've spent days & hours reading & even became the #2 editor on the Joker's page in about 2 months time.

Totaly redoing Batman is a huge turnoff to new collectors & old fans alike. I don't even want to be on the planet when the next inevitably sucky Batman movie comes out & people in the line start arguing about how Bruce Wayne isn't even Batman anymore, that the movies dwell in the past & slap continuity in the face, even moreso than they do now.

But on a personal note,  now that they're threatening to seperate Batman from his lifestyle & costume, I re-realize that Bruce Wayne is a totaly fake personality, a front, & Batman is Batman & the real personality, & whomever else is wearing his costume is just a guy in a costume, a cosplayer, a charlatin. & If he wants to be the new hero of Gotham, he can use his own costume & the name he already came with & show Bruce a little respect.

Oh yes, & do I even need to mention the Robin Taint? Tons of fans simply hate the concept of Robin. Anhyone who was or could be a Robin. Lots of people don;t like Nightwing, so they sure won't embrace him. & lots of people prefur Batman to work alone.

Nightwing always came off as a bit of a hard-headed klutz. I can see Bruce returning & then kicking it back to see how his former ward does. There will be a series of minor mess-ups & then a major fuck-up that he makes worse resulting clusterfuck of heroes trying to clean up the mess, unable to do what the old Batman did alone, forcing Bruce back into his costume, telling Nightwing to step aside & for everyone else to go home.

Applying comic book humor into a sex joke.

I found this little gem on Yahoo Answers, posing as some kind of question.

Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, "Last Friday at the end of the work day I went to my boyfriend's office wearing a leather coat. When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels. He was so aroused that we made passionate love on his desk right then and there!"

The engaged woman giggled and said, "That's pretty much my story! When my fiancé got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black mask, leather bodice, black hose and stiletto pumps. He was so turned on that we not only had sex all night, he wants to move up our wedding date!"

The married woman put her glass down and said, "I did a lot of planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at Grandma's. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt, black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black mask. When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote, sat down and yelled, "Hey Batman what's for dinner?"

Hollywood vs Comics.

When watching comic book movies, I think it's best to protect yourself by telling yourself that it will suck like an Uwe Boll film or a video game based on a movie. That way you can't possibly be any more dissapointed with the disreguard for continuity, right? Wrong. These films are usualy abismal fanfics & people will always remind you that these horrible addaptions exist.

So............

Hang the bastards, hang them high.
Hoist their bodies to the sky.
It's as nice as a day can be.
Won't you come to the hanging with me?

Hang the bastards, hang them well.
Send their sorry sousl to hell.
When their neckbones snap we'll know.
When Hollywood won't improvise anymore.

Their faces will turn red,
Then purple, then blue.
We'll watch from up here
To get a good view.
And when their eyes bug out we'll know,
It's the end of them
And the end of the show!

So hang the bastards, hang them with cheer.
We'll make some hot dogs
And drink a few beers.
And when their tongues roll out we'll know,
It's the end of the show
And we all can go home!

But not till we hang the bastards, hang them here.
The most exciting thing thsese fans have seen in years.
When their bodies stop jerking we'll know,
It's the end of them, it's the end of them,
It's the end of them,
And the end of the show.

Why pre-ModernAge comics should never B used 2 reference anything

Damn...what's with the title letter-count limit?

Anyway, some kid asks:

From when it started to know, can someone list batman comics in order of publication? I want to read them all and need to be pointed in the right direction


& I said:

There are so many series, sub series, cross overs, & guest appearances dating back to 1939 that that would litteraly take a full week for a hardcore collector to sort by date.

The closest thing you'll probably get is at Comic Vine: http://www.comicvine.com/batman/29-1699/...

It's categorized the by series title & then by date, or you can mess around with it. It also shows you the comic's cover & alternative covers & who worked on them. Mosthave descriptions, some have reviews.

There are 3 major clusters of the comics; Golden Age, Silver Age, & Modern Age. A series called "Crisis on Infinate Worlds" nullified everything that happened to Batman before the 80s, making classic issues unimportant & noncanon to the current Batman continuity. The new series Batman Confidential is litteraly rewriting Batman's early years from the ground up, so reading Batman in chronological order will lead to confusion.

Basicly, if it has a Comics Code Authority stamp on it, it's going to be a shitty or silly story aimed at little kids, filled with short unimportant stories that don't link to eachother.

To make it easy on yourself, check the dates of any issue you come across. If it's from 1984 or newer, it is a legitimate story with an actual time-line (unless it says Elseworlds on it).

But you should still collect the older comics for collection & reference sake. Sometimes authors will mskr s reference to an event or oragin story (which should never be done in the Joker's case, due to conflicting stories & lack of a solid background).

Am I wrong?

The new CV.

Did I already answer this? Oh well, it's less of an eyesore & I used to have a repetitive problem with these text boxes that are now very gone. Could use a touch more Firefox support.

I was thinking it was slower, but after being online today, I tink it's just Comcast.
