'you complete me'

He's here. He's back. And how.
'Some men just want to watch the world burn'. If evil ever had a face in the world of comics, that face was white, red and green. The Joker has always mystified and terrified readers, moi included, with an uncontrolled madness that cannot be reasoned with. Even as a comic character, his darkness leapt off the pages and drew you into a pit of insanity seldom seen in inhabitants of the written world.
But it was always his unusual relationship with Batman that stood out against all the regular good-evil battles. Even in comic book lore, the advent of Batman has always been associated with the creation or existence of the Joker. Like two sides of the same coin. As a boy, i could admire and relate to Batman aka Bruce Wayne. A tortured soul trying hard to make right the many wrongs of Gotham city without losing his own sense of self. But a part of me also wanted to give in to the delicious chaos and anarchy surrounding the Joker's life. It's this fight, within a single being himself, that has always characterized the Batman-Joker relationship. That sense of fragile interchangeability, separated only by that flimsy film of character and circumstance.
'The Dark Knight' should be the tribute Batman fans have been waiting years for. A tribute to the battlefield where the most deadly demons are fought. Our own heart.
