You think Batman and The Joker could have been friends?

[TheMarkz0ne 962]

If Bruce's parents never died, and Jack Napier(Possibly Joker's name) never went crazy, you think the two could have done something together? I think it's fascinating because both men are insane. Both men experienced trauma and it drastically changed their lives forever. I  think Bruce could have employed Jack in some field of Wayne Technologies if Martha and Thomas never died.

Doubt it.

Just because they're in the same city doesn't mean they'd know each other.

 

And depending on which lore you'd choose, Joker would Stoll be a criminal if Batman never existed, or he could just be Killing Joke pre-Joker, the struggling comedian with a wife to support.

Nope, definetly not! Even if Jack Napier didn't kill Bruce Wayne's parents nor go insane, he'd still be a criminal! And Batman fights criminals all the time, so yeah, Batman and The Joker would never be friends. But, that's in the universe of Tim Burton's Batman films. In the Dark Knight movies, the Joker didn't kill Bruce's parent, it was just some random criminal. The Joker just appears out of nowhere with no backstory. But would Batman and Joker be friends in the Dark Knight universe?

Heh heh heh, NO!

In a twisted way, I bet the Joker does see himself as Batman's friend

You are correct. The Joker views Bat Man as his Counterpart.

That's fine and dandy, but comics, though.

The Joker is very 1-dimensional in the movies compared to the comics.
