"She's used to the tragic stories that Joel Schumacher put over with characters like Freeze, Poison Ivy and Riddler but I was surprised that I really couldn't answer her"
Theres a really bad trend right now of victimizing villians. It sucks completely and depowers them.
I dont want to know how Hannibal Lecter went became a psychopath. I dont want to see a stupid hack backstory for Michael Myers. I dont want to see Anakin cry over Padme. I dont need to see how these characters turned out the way they are.
Its much better to wonder about such things. It adds layers of mystique and fasination to the characters that disappears when youre given all teh answers.I dont like being told explicitly how they turned into what they are.
Thats my opinion anyway.
The Joker. 5 years ago:
*opens door* "Honey, Im home!"
"Where have you been, *******?! I've had to take care of the babies and wait until you got home to change their diapers because YOU'RE too busy working overtime and we don't have another car so i cant go buy more diapers!"
"Leave me be, woman! I work overtime to put ****ING FOOD ON THE TABLE!"
*babies cry*
"All you do when you get home is sit on your ass and watch that STUPID SPONGEBOB SHOW!"
"IT'S NOT STUPID!"
*hits Joker's face*
"WHADYU DO THAT FOR?! That hurt!!!"
"That's for being a lazy ass and not supporting your family!"
*hits again*
"Stop hitting meeeeeeee!" *sobbs*
"Stop crying, you're an ADULT godamnit!"
"I might as well go GAY!"
"Fine, I can find myself another husband who doesnt need PILLS to get up!"
"Don't you DARE bring up those pills!"
"HAH, even when you take 5, I STILL faked the orgasms!"
*JOKER SOBBS*
