        A Shakespearean comedy is just a play about regular people. His dramas were about the nobility.

        I am, but it’s only because I’m barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I’m crying the rest.

          Pretty sure that’s how The Joker lives, just before he attempts to blow up a bomb in downtown Gotham.

          I guess you need to find a tall dark brooding man to emerge from the shadows and engage in fight sessions with predefined hard limits. Like Batman has a no guns rule. So Joker tries to edge him into breaking his own hard limit.

          Yes, I DID just make Batman/Joker into a bdsm lovers couple. Because that’s what it is. All the villains, and Batman are all just acting out kink scenes in public. Thats why they all wear masks. They all know each others identities. The masks are to hide from the public. Not each other.

          Which brings me to the problematic side of Batman. There have been 5 different Robin’s. All of whom were teenage boys when they adopted the roll. If it had only been one Robin, you could make the arguement that Batman saw something in him, and needed to mentor him.

          But 5??? That’s just grooming.
