Joker

by lupush

Your name has meaning not to me for I want the bat and not some trick you use to hide your nightly guise, the one I’ve come to idolize There’s many reasons you and I have chased the cats and not the mice: the rats have trouble keeping up, the cats will scratch you but with love I don’t seek the face behind the mask for I want layers upon layers— upon dusk to hide a face that might prove you’re just a man and I’m a fool

Notes

After some heavy DCnU reading, and my eternal fascination for the Joker, I’ve come to have much Batman-related inspiration. This time in particular, about Joker’s adoration with Batman and the fact he never cared about his real identity because, for him, Batman isn't a man with a mask but darkness itself. I strongly believe that Joker's head can't handle the fact Batman could be anyone but... well, Batman.
