Joker lives by his own rules

What is it about Joker that makes him so fascinating? If we met him in real life, we’d be terrified.

If you attract his individual attention, though, you can’t be sure what you’re in for. He might kill you, he might not.

Where a villain will find the most effective route, the hero will take the most upstanding path, even if it kills them.
