anyway i thjnk the most fucked up thing about i am a gun is that bruce is fucking right. his mental version of joker is damn accurate. even so early on in his career he's able to see past joker's evil uncaring monster outer persona and recognize the human inside of him who's alone and afraid and hurting, who desperately wants to be saved but doesn't know how to be anything other than the joker. even if you disregard that "the last smile" story the tkj script makes it Quite Clear that joker very badly wants to accept batman's offer but he doesn't feel like rehabilitation is a viable option for him (for multiple reasons)
#it's just so. auuuuuhhhhhhhghh#that bruce was able to recognize that so early on in their relationship like holy fuck#i feel soooooo cool and ordinary and normal about i am a gun (lie)#+ i'd have to reread the tkj script to be totally sure but i'm Pretty Sure it's the first comic that makes it overtly clear#beyond the shadow of a doubt that bruce wants to help joker not for pragmatic reasons like stopping his crimes or averting their deaths#but because he recognizes that beneath it all joker is a very sad lonely broken person coping with life the only way he knows how#(or at the very least not ONLY for pragmatic reasons)#(and yeah it's heavily implied in tkj and other stuff but i am a gun fully spells it out)#hjjijfjkjkkkkkhhhhhhh#batjokes#agony anguish pain#can't think abt batman 127-130 for too long it makes me so
