Why Doesn’t Batman Kill The Joker?
The Joker and Batman are each trying to prove a point to society – and really to us, the readers.
The Joker wants Batman to kill him because he perfectly embodies chaos and anarchy and wants to prove a point to everyone that people are basically more chaotic than orderly.

Life isn’t fair.
Get the fuck over it.
Complaining has zero positive impact on your life.
You waste valuable time, you put yourself in a negative state of mind, make yourself really unattractive, and repel people like magnets because frankly…
No one else cares, nobody wants to hear about it.
Not your best friends. Not your mom. Not your girlfriend. No one.
