Summary: The Joker. On jokes, life, and Batman.

A/n: This came to me in a dream. So, sorry if it's odd.


He wasn't stupid. Nor was he crazy, as everyone believed. He knew a few things about living that the rest of the world was either too ignorant or too blind to see--

Firstly: the only truly interesting way to live life was without rules, to live it blindly. To live life for the moment because each one might be your last….

Especially when he was around. Being an agent of chaos one never knew what was bound to happen.

Secondly, if you're good at something, never do it for free--he was good at his sadistic little jokes. And they weren't free, oh no, the victims either owed him their pitiful little lives or they paid him with their deaths. Either way was good for him.

But the real kicker was this--

He knew Batman's true identity!

It was fairly easy to narrow it down after he had eliminated Dent. He was a little disappointed actually, he had hoped for a challenge. He wouldn't tell anybody yet, because without Batman his life would be predictable and boring-- and because knowing the secret and not telling anyone was the greatest joke of all!


A/n: Hmm…that was shorter than I thought it was.

Don't forget to review!
