Something about John preaching better care for the mentally ill and consistently talking about how his disorders arent just things about him, but are his whole life... gets to me.

Like, he acknowledges how badly treated mentally ill people are in Gotham, and he clearly hates the fact. He sees it as an injustice, which it is! I don't know, I just think that John being aware of Arkhams issues and still being attached is so wonderful. That's practically his home. Everything he remembers is in Arkham Asylum, everything he's been taught has been by the psychologists there. And you know what, he knows they aren't good at their jobs. They treat the patients as JUST criminals, like the reason they were hired isn't to rehabilitate people. But he also knows there are people actually helping. He was helped by Dr Leiland, and he got discharged from Arkham, not by escaping.

And this isn't the first time a Joker variant has had strong opinions on Arkham Asylum. Eric Border, for example! Although it's true he wasn't technically being honest with his thoughts, he had to pull them from somewhere. Eric says that he wants to help people, and that he thinks he could truly get these Villains to turn a new leaf. He believes in the fact nobody is inherently evil, and that everyone has something good inside them. (This is one of the things Batman likes about Eric, I'll talk about that more in another post COUGH COUGH)

Now the conclusion to this post... Mental Health advocate Joker is canon. That's it. That's the conclusion.

Eric Border is a variant of Joker I've never touched upon with Batjokes before despite how much I love it, so let's do this!

Batman liked Eric. He was a reliable asset, and he had this completely non threatening, mousy demanour that should've unsettled Bruce if the circumstance weren't so perfect. Joker was gone, and Eric's smile twisted in such a way when he thought he was out of Bruce's vision, but he wasn't. It should've been suspicious, just how wonderful Eric was. An anxious but strong willed and courageous man who was absolutely sure on his goal of helping the people in Arkham. Bruce thought it was admirable, and he silent enjoyed the fact someone was finally trying to make an impact, even if it was some dreamer from Metropolis. And yeah, at some point? Maybe those feelings of admiration become adoration, but could you blame Bruce? Everything about him set his nerves on fire- and he hadn't felt that way since he was fighting hand in hand with his favourite foe. It was everything from the way he flinched when Batman appeared, or how he was so willing to do anything he was asked, but would go into strange and dangerous situations if it meant helping somebody. And when the time came that they finally got a little handsy, their tounges enterwined messily as if they were both desperate teenagers, Bruce felt the fireworks exploding. He knew bringing people into his business would be dangerous, but maybe Eric is different, maybe he understands Batman more than anyone else. There was a set date he was planning to ask him out.

When water trickled down onto kevlar and metal bars clung together, the face of a man beloved replaced with one who's mere presence reset a flame burning in his gut.

(Ps. Bruce has to stop falling for cute brunettes, they are usually Joker)
