I read The Killing Joke by Alan Moore. This is the origin story of the Joker. It was very sad because he was just an ordinary guy who became a supervillain by things he couldn't control. Losing this wife and the unborn baby would drive anyone insane. The fact that he was forced to help rob the chemical plant which is even sadder because he wasn't even the criminal. Batman wants to help the Joker but the Joker thinks he's already too far gone.
In superhero stories, it doesn't seem possible to have to villain have a change of heart otherwise we wouldn't have the good vs. evil stories. The end is confusing not just for me but also for everyone else because no one knows what really happened? He is an unreliable narrator so we are not sure if we can believe any of the story
