All of the backstories you are talking about are also being told by their respective villains. And in any case, Joker's backstory served to make him sympathetic, because he genuinely believed it to be true at the time. Someone who is that deluded about their own past is not "just evil", they are mentally ill and need help.
I really want to hear examples of these "just evil" people you are talking about. I mean, I'll give you Darkseid, but give me an example of a person who was "just evil" for no comprehensible reason, besides a literal God of Evil or a demon or something metaphysical like that.
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.
