[ EU ] Batman turns evil and starts committing crimes rather than stopping then . The Joker realises that in order to remain Batman 's antagonist he must turn good and become a hero .

I thought this was everything I wanted. Because, y'know, you see the goal, you do the dance... 
 
 The whole shebang, yeah? 
 
 NO. 
 
 NO NO NO NO NO. 
 
 Those... Those damn wiseguys with their brilliant lines. The journey is what's important or some garbage like that? THAT'S THE TRUTH. THAT'S WHERE IT IS! 
 
 I got so... enthralled. So caught up in what I was doing and I fell in love with it. The dance WAS the goal. It was THE purpose. It was everything I ever wanted. And... And just like that, I'd done it. 
 
 He fell. He did n't just fall, he lost it. Twist the head off a kitten, cannibalize a guy, kill with his empty, shaking hands. Laughing so hard it made his throat bleed. He did n't just fall, he grabbed a rocket and shot himself straight into hell. Trust me, I know what it looks like. I KNOW BECAUSE I'M ALREADY HERE. AND HE'S HERE WITH ME NOW... AND IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS AIMING FOR! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED. 
 
 And then it was just... empty. I was empty. I did n't have anything to give. I'd... what's the teenage idiom? Shot my load? 
 
 Maybe. Maybe not. 
 
 Who knows? I do n't. Not anymore. Everything was so clear before. Bring him down. Make him see things on my level. Make him... 
 
 Me. 
 
 And all the while, he... I just... I know he was n't trying to do the same thing to me. But he... he did. Just a little. Enough that I saw the clarity that he saw. It was n't my clarity. But it was still clarity. 
 
 Just... a different sort. 
 
 For me there was solace in not knowing how things were going to turn out. For him, his solace was taking everything according to his... code. His principles. His morals. And making it fit his world. His rules made everything clear for him. He did n't have to worry about the result. He knew the result. He would make it happen. He would save those people, he would disarm the bomb, he would win the fight, and he would do it all without so much as blinking. His confidence, his clarity was everything... that I wanted. I had resigned myself to the fact that I could never take control. Instead, I must embrace the chaos and become one with it. 
 
 I had no control. And he had nothing but control. 
 
 And now he has no control. And me...... I was everything he was not. And it... Damn me for my twisted mind, but I see it now. He was the bastion of immutable purity. Proof to me that we are who we are and we can not change. But... But that's a lie. I can become something else. Just like he did. 
 
 AND IF I CAN CHANGE, I CAN CHANGE EVERYONE WITH ME. This slop of filth known as humanity can bring itself out of the swirling drain that we're all caught in. THIS IS THE TURNING POINT. THE TABLES HAVE TURNED AND THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN, BUT WHAT BETTER A TIME TO MAKE SUCH A CHANGE?! WHAT BETTER A TIME THAN HERE... and now? 
 
 I am redemption. I am the light.
