Now somebody needs to diagnose Batman....

@taborpyhala4714 2 months ago

Diagnose all on screen jokers

@AlannaArtroid 2 months ago

Well, SOMETIMES Harvey Dent has DID. It depends on the continuity.

@Exmachinagamma 2 months ago

You should do all the Batman Arkham Asylum inhabitants and a compare/contrast to Dr. Penelope Young's notes.

@sakurakiyori 2 months ago

My one note is that 'Cillian' is pronounced with a hard 'c', which is more on the 'k' end, than the 's'.

I think Heath Ledger's Joker was former military. Just something he says in the hospital made me connect this. His tactical genius, his knowledge with heavy weaponry and explosives. His vehicle and team were exploded and he was left for dead. That's how he got his scars. But no one came for him. On paper, he's probably listed as Killed In Action. Or he never existed as Special Operative. He was good at what he did. And nobody batted an eye when he was "killed in action," because it was all part of the plan. He realized he was expendable. That everything he lived for up to then was the joke.

All the ice puns he makes in that movie and people still say "fries."🍟 😂 I understand that's how it's spelled.. but it's Freeze.

I think Histrionic Personality Disorder suits Harley, too, but I don't think that means she couldn't be Dependent. but it's worth considering if she was like either of those before, seeing that she was fine with getting to the point of a degree, and working with criminals, so it was likely just that she was just abused to being the way the Joker wanted her?

I love the implication that some writers use where Joker may not even be insane... Just that fucking evil.

@eemilwallin3347 2 months ago

I would characterize the behavior of Joker during the "Look at me" scene as a prime example of irritated. He shouts: "Why do you dress up like him?" He is irritated by the 'fake', he is irritated that the person is not looking at them while they speak. He is visibly infuriated as he is out of breath as he explains how the people want "order in Gotham". While Joker doesn't get irritated easily, when he does, it easily fits the diagnostic.

I've heard more BPD arguments for Harley Quinn than DPD, but it actually make sense

@jaynedavis3388 2 months ago

Schwarzenegger’s Freeze had the most comic book (or animation) accurate motivations as any character in the Rogues Gallery from every movie.

@yeomanbasket 2 months ago

When you look at Dent in The Dark Knight through that lens at actually clears up some of the issues I have with his character change late in the movie. It makes way more sense that a guy who just went through all that would go out of his fucking mind with derealization.
