I’ve said it before, but: the real reason Batman and the Joker are opposite numbers is because the Joker is desperate for people to recognise his comedic genius, while Bruce Wayne – both as a civilian and as Batman – lives and dies by the fact that you can never tell whether he’s yanking your chain.
This is also the best Bruce Wayne cause the man is deeply unhinged, and you can see it in his eyes. He is wonderfully and powerfully strange, and that’s what Bruce Wayne should be
[Images description: four traditional drawings of several Muppets characters: Bert and Ernie taking care of a young Elmo, and Kermit taking care of Robin the frog. In the first drawing, Bert and Ernie are out on the street with Elmo. Bernie is holding Elmo’s hands and looking down at him as Elmo points excitedly across the street at Kermit and Robin. Ernie sees them too, and smiles. In the second drawing, Bert, Ernie, and Kermit sit around a table in a house or apartment while Elmo and Robin play. Ernie and Kermit are talking, while Bert looks at Elmo with a fond smile as Elmo excitedly shows him a paper. In the third drawing, the five of them sit on a couch, Robin on Elmo’s head, while Kermit reads to the kids. Bert is leaning against the arm of the couch and has his head propped against his fist with his eyes closed. In the last drawing, Kermit is putting his jacket back on by the door, and Bert talks sternly to the other three with his arms crossed. Ernie is sitting on the floor, Elmo is on his shoulders, and Robin is on Elmo’s shoulders. The artist’s signature is in the bottom right corner of every drawing and reads, “@beartnie” in all capitals. /End description]
