YMMV. I think Joker would be pretty upset by Batman reminding him that he's just a man like any other with a name and a past.
"What could the Joker possibly have to lose by anyone telling him his real name? He's not that guy any longer, he's the Joker. "
And that's why I think telling him his name would hurt him more than anything else. It's not just that he's not that man anymore, he doesn't WANT to be that man anymore.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
