Possession is 9/10ths of the law

Description

Another from the show about the Homoerotic Subtext of Comic books. In with the heavy bromances, dual identities, and ridiculous outfits, there's the darker part of the "joke". In comic books, it's common to find villains that are just way, way too obsessed with their hero enemy. They completely fixate and often refer to the hero as "theirs," saying things like "No one else can have him!" Some villains even save the hero from certain death, because they can't stand the idea of someone else killing him.

Miller once described Batman's relationship with the Joker as a homophobic nightmare. It's a flamboyantly dressed man in makeup utterly obsessed with him, doing anything necessary to get his attention. I didn't have to make it gay, it was already there. Gay and crazy... and poor Bruce.
