THE COMIC BOOK QUOTES FROM THE JOKER ARE NOW GOING TO ACT AS WHAT INSPIRED THE CHAPTERS :]

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know, I'm terrible for starting new stories when I've already got so many on the go but I wanted to have fun with Mr. Joker so reviewing will be helpful if you want it to continue. I've been unsure on whether to delve into The Joker's past as it may be a bit of a slippery slope if it's not done right. However this is written as close to his voice as I possibly could without it being either a TDK rip off with endless quotes from the film in it. I don't think Mr. J's one to keep repeating himself, it's all for the sake of the act to keep reinventing new ways to express himself. I've done my best to make him sound like TDK Joker but I've also wanted to display a little of each interpretation in here. Subtly of course but hey, let's just see how it goes shall we? :]

Disclaimer: I do not own The Joker or anything Batman related but if I did I'd be hella rich and oh so pleased with myself :] Needless to say, Bob Kane was a genius & may he rest in peace. DC owns everything.

"I'm not exactly sure what happened. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another...If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" - The Killing Joke by Alan Moore.

Multiple Choice

I prefer my past to be something of multiple choice as I find the spontaneity of it to be much more exciting than the truth could ever be. So why subject somebody to the truth? You know what the funny thing about the truth is?
The real truth? It's that it can be so much more horrifying than a lie. Which begs the question why people are so persistent wanting to know it when in reality they just can't handle what it entails. The irony of it all is that the real truth of the world is that it's made up of lies. It always has been. There'll always be dirty little secrets with cover stories, little white lies and promises that were never meant to be kept. The real peach is that no matter what the scale, the lie will always be a no good piece of information that's of no use to anybody – this. This is what makes them so much more entertaining.
After all, keeping them guessing is all a part of the fun.

Gotham City is full of lies. Gotham. Dubbed 'The most corrupt city in America!'. Oh Gotham...well where can I start?
Well, you see the thing about Gotham is that it's...typical. Of course the crime rate is the highest in the country but you know the people? They're just like those anywhere else in the world. They're truly ugly beneath the surface, their cheery dispositions, kind words and contradictions. They're all one big joke.
This 'dog eat dog' world as they like to put it, is really just something they've created to excuse themselves from their bad behaviour. To tell themselves that they're not really all that bad. This is the same behaviour in which they feel they have the right to put people into little boxes and categorise them by their social status or appearance. The social cleansing as I like to call it. Where they cast aside the ones who don't 'fit' into their so called social norms. They nit pick them out and then lock them away. And you know, the reason they do this?
Because they can't handle the fact that these so called 'crazy' people aren't willing to fall into their mundane little world. They don't understand why these people they deem as insane don't follow the crowd – like sheep following a little shepherd through the hills. A bunch of 'civilised' civillians following a crooked politician through a field of lies. It's the same thing.
So they lock the crazies away because then, well they won't have to deal with them then will they? Out of sight, out of mind as the saying goes. You may not like to think it but it happens.
It happens every.
Single.
Day.
And it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic*. But I can change all this. I'll make them take a look in the mirror and re-evaluate their little beliefs. I'm really going to shake things up. And when I do it'll be absolute chaos.

* This is actually a line from 'Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'. The Joker says it to Batman when he tells him he knows who he really is. It's a brilliant line and Mark Hamill delivers it perfectly, now I love Heath's Joker but whenever I read the comics it's Mark Hamill's voice that I imagine saying the words. To me he IS the voice of The Joker. He's just incredible.

I know this seems like ramblings right now but I figured, Mr. J likes to talk about things like this A LOT so why not let him off the leash and let him chatter on? I'm sure he would rather avoid telling people the truth which is why he emphasises it here. In fact, what I wanted to show here is that he enjoys lying so effectively whatever he tells you here you have to choose whether you believe it or not. So I've put you all in Harley's position for now ;]

Whenever I do these character point of view stories, I actually try and imagine acting them out and what they would say to get it just right. None of what is said is my personal opinion, I'd like to think it's the characters opinion :]
