Themes

• Escalation• Deception• Duality• Justice• Fairness

Fairness to The Joker…

• The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.

• chaos is fair - chaos is fair in the sense that everyone loses (i.e. dislike everyone) - true fairness is where everyone wins (i.e. like everyone)

2 ships of People…

• their morals, their code, it's a bad joke

Fairness to Batman

• He's the hero this city deserves, not the one it needs
