Batjokes is simply 'emotionally unavailable x different flavor of emotionally unavailable' and somehow it works
Hah, yeah, and isn't it beautiful? They've both got disorganized attachment styles, except Bruce's is more anxious and Joker's is more avoidant. As in, one desperately looks for attachment and meaning despite being scared of it. While the other desperately avoids attachment and meaning because they're scared of it. Hence they're perfectly suited, via the way they lean into these extremes, to force the other to acknowledge what they're running away from. They're scared of the same thing and simply handling it differently, so they're basically built to enable each other as characters-- and getting trapped in a cycle of "I'll prove to you that nothing matters/I'll prove to you that everything matters."

I like this scene from the dark victory so I redrew it.
no more mushrooms.

The inherent homoeroticism of killing your enemy and immediately regretting it
It’s about rage, it’s about obsession, it’s about making that two-person war your entire raison d’être. It’s about loving and mistaking it for hatred and loving and loving and loving to the point of destruction. His or yours, it doesn’t matter. And you think seeing him dead at your feet will make you feel better, but all you feel is a whole lot of nothing.

#he got him there
propaganda:
There have been essays written on the homoeroticism of the Batman/Joker relationship. They are two sides of the same coin. They NEED each other. Bruce is just as obsessed with the Joker as the Joker is with him. They are destined to fight until neither of them can fight anymore. What could be more romantic???
