You want the Joker gone. You think it’s as easy as snapping your fingers, pulling a trigger or using whatever impressive, show-stopping abilities you have and then walking away without a scratch on you. That’s fine. You go on thinking that. Waltz into his jail cell, kill him and then come find me. Tell me all about it and I’ll put you on a pedestal. He is everybody’s problem and just because I refuse to take his life doesn’t mean that you can’t.
But don’t you dare blame me or mine for the damage he causes, for the lives that he takes. He’s free game. I am not possessive of him. He’s
only human, isn’t he? Where you come from, surely he would be dead and long gone by now.
It’s a pity that’s not the case.
