| The Joker from Batman R.I.P. is one of the creepiest you'll ever see. that's why he's one of my very favorites. <3 |
When shown an inkblot test, Joker sees himself slaughtering his enemies with a razor. Blood is everywhere. Gotham's gone mad with Joker toxin... the doctor asks him what he sees: "another pretty flower... another pretty flower."
When told that Batman is on his way to see him, Joker replies: "he's not here yet, is he? i don't want him to be here yet. my nails are still drying." He holds up his hands. He's painted them in alternating red and black. In this book, red is a symbol for life and black for death.
Batman finally confronts the Joker and he says:"... you got yourself into this whole horrible mess because you wanted to understand what it was like to be me *haha*. you think it all breaks down into symbolism and structures and hints and clues. no, batman, that's just wikipedia. you actually believed all it would take is a few chemicals a couple of days in a drug induced isolation and a cheap little mental breakdown and you'd have me all figured out? like there was some rabbit hole you could follow me down to understanding? *HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!* welcome to where your soul dies!" Batman attacks him: "i.... i only want to help you understand... see, it's everything... *ghakk*... mom, dad, the job... oh batman, batman... let go... it's si simple... life... death... it's all a big joke. a dead man's hand and I hold the winning card! you really want to know how it feels to be the clown at midnight? where there's only ever one joke and it's always on you? well, here you are. now do you get it?"
Talking about batman: "every single time I try to think outside his toybox, he builds a new box around me. apophenia. I've been driven literally in.sane. trying to get him to loosen up. well, now... now it's your turn..."
