Depends on your definition of crazy. Einstein’s definition was people who try the same thing over and over again, and expect different results. I’d say that’s closer to simple arrogance, which I do not equate to insanity, but that’s just me. My definition of crazy is whoever has the most flexible personality. In other words, the one who’s goals and methods are the most inconsistent, both in relation to themselves, and each other respectively. This is closer to illogicality, which is my equivalent to insanity. Interestingly, one of Harley Quinn’s hypotheses on the Joker back when she was his shrink was that he is CONSTANTLY reinventing himself, which fits perfectly into my definition of insanity. So naturally, my pick would be Joker, with Deadpool in second, and Frank Castle 3rd as while he SEEMS to apply more force than necessary to achieve his goals, his intent, as spelled out in his name, is not justice, but punishment, and with that goal in mind, his methods are fairly logical (sane) I consider the question of whether I/we agree with those methods to be another question entirely. To be honest though, I know nothing about the 4th candidate, so my answer is a bit incomplete.
@DedmanWalkin For me, that THEORY (it is one of many in the true nature of the Joker) would only add to his insanity, because I'm a bit doubtful he could lie to someone like Batman without also lieing to himself about just what his true nature is. And lying to yourself is a a benefit gained from having a flexible personality, which means by MY definition, he's still crazy :P
