Supermans Joker

[Mr. Holmes]

Just like with Watchmen and DKR. It's why Batman is so terrible now.

As I have said before. The Joker has reached the point of "enough already". He should either get killed for good or imprisoned for a long time and not used anymore or for a decade or so at least.

Not really. It goes back to Frank Miller, who kept referring to Batman as "Darling". Grant Morrison had his first Joker story with the Joker acting homoerotic towards Batman, including grabbing his butt. James Robinson had a similar summary at the end of a two parter from 1994, where the Joker couldn't wait to cross paths with Bruce again. Snyder is influenced by their work.

fair enough. But it's still Snyder using those as an interpretation of love. One can correlate those actions/feelings to "love", but that doesn't necessarily mean those actions/feelings are actually caused by love. I mean seriously, "Darling" and butt grabbing can just as easily be interpreted as some kind of display of dominance/machismo or a desire for social awkwardness. And the impatient desire to see someone? I can't wait til I cross paths w/ my Philosophy professor. But I'm pretty certain I don't love him... The more I think about it, the more I'm disappointed of the idea of Snyder making this some type of eros ordeal.

However, there are a variety of levels and types of love. Perhaps the Joker does love Batman, like I love my cat (although I'm not sure how my pupils dilate when I see my cat...)? But I'm not buying that the Joker is in love w/ Batman, if that's where Snyder is ultimately leading to.
