Takes advantage of both friends and enemies for personal gain, tells the truth just as often as he lies in order to gain an advantage, and both has a nose for seeking out and sows chaos in order to both take advantage of it and sometimes just to revel in it. He shakes things up often, usually for personal gain, but more than once just to see what it stirs up.It helped him out a lot early on, and it blew up in his face BIG TIME at least twice. But even then, like Batman, he knows how to just pick himself right up again and get back in there. Perfect parallels there to Joker. It works out for Joker more often than not in Dark Knight because it needs to for the story, but frankly, there's at least a couple scenes where he could have ended up dead if it weren't simply for dumb luck. (Same in The Joker; he's only put on a pedestal by others because of the social climate of the time, and he only gets away from the cops because cars drive on streets, ya know? He doesn't even realize it all until after the fact, and only then starts to take advantage of it. He's chaotic evil to the core.)Arguably you could see this as Neutral Evil, but frankly if there's not some overlap in people's definition of alignment, then I can't agree with their view on it. The point is that the lines are foggy, because that's where you get betrayal, disagreement, faction interplay, and all sorts of great drama.</blockquote>
