Focus: Movies Batman Begins/Dark Knight, Since: 12-25-10
A collection of well-written pre-Joker stories, where the Joker's descent into madness is uniquely depicted or if it's just a pre-Joker story in general. Yes, you may add slash to this community, but no Jokachel, since that storyline where they knew each other before he went insane is cliched. |

The Joker was once a boy. And while the world around him thought him odd, he too thought exactly the same of them. Rated M for language and acts of violence.
