[Movie] The Dark Knight (Batman Begins Sequel)

You might have pegged it. It's the whole nemesis setup that drives the film, so if you don't enjoy the back and forth between them, then....well, that doesn't leave a lot. =/

Well, he doesn't really do it for chance. If Harvey had killed him, the end result would have been the same as if he had corrupted Batman. Joker would have brought down the white knight. Joker was fully ready to die earlier if it would mean Batman breaks his One Rule. So it comes back to the word choice and the fact that it's not really chaos but enough direct subversion that it might as well be chaos.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Work with me here. Try replacing every instance of the word "crazy" in the film with "antisocial."

Does this make you feel better (Y/N)?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not throwing the DSM-IV at you, I'm just using some basic stuff.
I do not think it is a stretch to call someone who murders for fun antisocial.

Could be wrong though. It'd be nice if I could ask a genuine question without someone trying to take me to task for some imagined butthurt.

Internets.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
