pajama police, random thought, cw: mind control
So... damn near *anything* is possible in the DC universe. We're all in agreement with that, right?
Meanwhile, Batman's narcissistic handwringing over his "code of honor" has conveniently let thousands of innocents die, just so his psychopathic playtime buddy can stick around.
I want to see an arc where some super-scientist or uber-psionic gets fucking sick of this and just performs massive, non-con psychic surgery on the Joker to FIX him.
Naturally, the premise is that Bats decides it's the surgeon who has to be hunted down and punished. The B plot is that the Joker is reassimilated into society and EVERYTHING'S WORKING OUT FINE until some busybody crusader decides to restore the status quo for the usual pseudo-humanist "BUT HIS SACRED FREE WILL!" reasons.

@Aradia Grant doesn't count. Grant never counts. ;D Not because I don't respect his work, but because it's like playing with a 52-joker deck, all puns intended.

that sounds... familiar. not sure why...

@zebratron2084 in order to fix the Joker, all his memories of all his evil deeds must be purged--so now he's Joe Nonymous, who is essentially an innocent, normal citizen, and Batman is fucking BENT because he's not being ETERNALLY PUNISHED FOR HIS CRIMES. but when Batman starts hanging around trying to "cure" Joe by "breaking the block and restoring his memories," Joe doesn't know what's going on--all he knows is for some reason this god damn spandex bastard is harassing and persecuting him...

@zebratron2084 Grant Morrison had the Joker cured during his Justice League run... for one issue.
