      Is the Joker a predator whose mind broke and made him desperately pretend he was always a victim or a victim trying to pretend he was always a predator or what It changes depending on what he wants out of you by telling the story in this moment

      (Phillips' Joker toys with this by giving us the multiple choice question of whether Arthur is actually Thomas Wayne's son or not But it wasn't big enough an ambiguity to make this point, because Phillips wanted him to be unambiguously a victim)

      I would've gone further and made the ambiguity be whether Fleck is out to avenge the death of his mother and girlfriend or whether he killed one or both of them himself (and whether the girlfriend was ever really his girlfriend)

      Anyway I think this theme is itself compelling, even if it's also obviously problematic It's the theme of The Man in the Glass Booth

      Is this man pretending to be a Holocaust survivor so he doesn't have to live with being a Nazi Or is pretending to be a Nazi so he doesn't have to live with being a survivor The ending implies it actually is the latter and asks you to imagine if that makes sense

      Which, you know Very loaded and controversial Inspired the DS9 episode "Duet", which was a less controversial but still very compelling take

      Can you expand on that DS9 episode? The title sounds familiar but the summary doesn't. Is it about Garrak?

      It's the one where they arrest a notorious Cardassian war criminal who was hiding under the identity of an ordinary mild-mannered civilian Only for Kira, who was initially pulling for his summary execution, to do some more digging and find out he *actually is* the civilian

      Who concocted this elaborate plan to *fake* the evidence that he was actually a Nazi war criminal living under a fake identity, so that he could be caught, tried and executed and make his life amount to something as a symbol

      It's elevated above being a simple morality tale about Kira learning that Cardies aren't all simplistically evil Because it has this disturbing thing about how the dude wasn't just acting out of altruism to expose Cardassian war crimes

      There were easier ways to do that He could've just defected to the Federation and, like, told them what he knew from when he worked at the camps But it wasn't *enough* He wanted to be punished, to be *important enough* to punish, to be *more* complicit and less pathetic

          It was a way of taking ownership of what happened instead of "just following orders" as a mere cog in the machine and hating himself for being weak? Oof. Heavy decisions to write about. DS9 is good at that.

          In an episode that is wall-to-wall heartbreaking, him yelling that yes he *is too* the war criminal, because the alternative is that he’s the coward who heard the screams of the dying and hid under his desk... that bit stands out

          You can also see that in abusive relationships where the victims takes way too much responsibility for the dysfunction of the relationship in order to feel less like the victim. Blaming yourself can feel that empowering because it promotes the illusion of control
