The Joker Complex

Is the Joker an anarchist or a nihilist?
Is the Batman an authoritative fascist?
The Yin and Yang of our world today is reflected in the relationship between the Joker and Batman.
It is also a reflection of the constant internal struggle within ourselves between the forces of darkness and light.
Here is the best explanation I can find. A great documentary and take on this issue.
Enjoy.

Looks like this video's idiot has arrived.

I don't normally reply to those so inept that they see any intellectual discussion online as "fighting" -let alone those who have no idea when one ought to use an apostrophe or not (smirk) -but I'll make an exception for you just this once.

Those that I debated with have more intellectual capacity that you could ever dream of. For that reason, & that reason alone, you are an utter irrelevance to me.

Now shoo, go away

@jakewestwn well said

I love the two Newr Bat-Man movies and can't wait to see the last one. Also we were told Ledger died from drugs but I alwaysed wondered if that's what happened. Hollywood is sometimes visited by powerful and mentaly disterbed politions. Prehaps Ledger refused to fund one and was killed.

[jakewestwn]

Heath Ledgers death pretty much tanked this version of the Bat-Man Franchise just when it recovered from those horrible other ones when Bat-Man almost went under permanatley as a live action franchise. I do think in the future however prehaps we'll see another take to Gotham's world that blows us away. The Joker is now invisioned as a thiny wirey character. I will always miss the what if Ledger version however. There was so much more of his Joker lefted undone.

More of an add for Batman then a discussion on Nihilism.

[jeffreygarten]

Also interesting is how Nietzsche interrogated Christianity and concluded that it is the highest form of Nihilism. That it is born of a hatred of life and perversion of strength. He also predicted the situation we're in now, a paralyzing crisis of values. Is the planet we live on still being killed by the herd who knows but represses this knowledge to be able to enjoy continuing to engage in all the behaviors that will ensure that we will be soon extinct? Sounds like a hatred of life to me.

[jeffreygarten]

It could be that Nihilists were merely the rebels of their time and keep history/yin and yang going or whatever. Anarchists are similar to the first Nihilists. They both desired utopia (perfect balance of equality and liberty=Real/True Communism=No State and No Capitalism). Unfortunately, as can be seen in the way The State functions (parasitically spreading), Nihilism is everywhere today in the form of conformist neurosis. How else can you explain injustice and such little action?

[jeffreygarten]

The joker is no anarchist or nihilist. From what I have read, the first Nihilists were self-censored Russian Libertarian Socialists and truly meant "Life, reason, morality, truth have no meaning WITHIN THE PRESENT POLITICAL SYSTEM (which was monarchy?)". There have been many different interpretations after Nietzsche came around and called it a disease and showed how we can overcome it (affirmation). It seems Nihilism in many forms could be seen as the same as depression ("What's the point?")
