~ Bruce Wayne about The Batman Who Laughs The fear that without any grander meaning, at heart we are cold, animalistic, selfish things. He is the fear that we're both right, Joker and I. That demon, what he says is that there is no meaning in your actions, therefore the only meaningful act is to win. I say, to believe there is a meaning in all your actions is to win. Joker says that to accept that there's no meaning in your actions is to win. He is the arch-nemesis of Batman alongside ( Joker, Ra's al Ghul, Two-Face.) After gaining the powers of Doctor Manhattan via transferring his brain into an alternate Bruce Wayne known as Batmanhattan, he becomes a being of pure darkness with omnipotent power known as The Darkest Knight. The Batman Who Laughs traces his origin to a different Earth, which had him actually slay his own version of the Joker. This course of action makes themselves enemies of the Justice League. He is the team leader of the Dark Knights and their goal was to help their master Barbatos plunge the entire Multiverse into complete and utter chaos and darkness. He is a 'Jokerized' version of Batman who originated from the Dark Multiverse. The Batman Who Laughs is an evil version of Bruce Wayne, and one of the main antagonists of the DC Universe. And its worlds will fall like pearls before me. I must be the thing that creates the reaction. And to be more, I must not be a reaction. Not a Batman Who Laughs, not a Batmanhattan, not even a culmination of all dark Batmen. Now, understand this, I know that I am not a Batman of any kind. Even the most dominant is still a reaction to some fear that has shaped him, built him into a newer, crueler incarnation, perfectly designed to overcome it. And just as he is a reaction, so too are the twisted Batmen of the dark. He was born in response to those gunshots in the alley. ~ The Batman Who Laughs transforming into The Darkest Knight.īatman has always been a reactionary idea.

Blue is for soldiers of morning, of light. To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. The answers that are so clear to me now with victory right around the corner. I was trapped in an unwinnable war, refusing to see the obvious answers right in front of me.

When I was Bruce Wayne, I thought that with enough preparation, I would always win.

Is the batman who laughs skin rare
