After entire HOURS of arduous research, I am now proud to present my completed Joker Analysis Chart.
THE CHARACTERS: The Joker from The Dark Knight, Will Graham from NBCβs Hannibal, Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, Vriska Serket from Homestuck, Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2
METHODOLOGY: I polled many different internet users across both Tumblr and Twitter before applying my own analytical framework.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF JOKER ANALYSIS: The criteria for a Joker are many, but I will attempt to break it down succinctly: in order to be a Joker for any given demographic, several things must be true; namely, the character must 1. have killed at least one person, 2. be, even if they are a protagonist, a character who is morally grey, and 3. (and most importantly) be related to to an unhealthy amount by people of the demographic in question.
