his own rules without aspiring to something higher than himself, unlike batman, the slave, who makes a distinction between good and evil, and is bound to rules outside of himself ( such as his avoidance of killing ), in his quest for justice. the joker has no defined origin story that requires him to question how he came to be, as like the superman he does not regret or assess the past and only moves forward. the joker's controlling and abusive relationship with harley quinn has been analysed as a means of the joker reinforcing his own belief in his power in a world where he may be killed or neutralized by another
