A random question

If Batman died, would the Joker be happy?

It's a question that's been bugging me lately and I'd like to hear some other opinions.

Nope. He needs Batman. Batman completes him!

My answer is no. Then he wouldn't have an arch rival.

From The Dark Knight.. Sorry if this spoils but it has been a year..

Batman: Then why do you want to kill me?
The Joker: [laughs] I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! No. You... you... complete me.
Batman: You're garbage who kills for money.
The Joker: Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

He'd be happy only if he was the one who killed him. If anyone else did it, he'd probably go after them for killing Batman before he did.

And there is now a poll.

One of the things about this question that kept bugging me is the fact that while Joker's entire life circles around Batman, he's seen to relish Batman's repeated deaths during the time he controls reality.

Also, after Batman breaks his back, Joker doesn't go and try to kill Bane (at least to my knowledge). And it's not because Batman was replaced, because Joker quickly identified the new Batman as someone who isn't Bruce.

This topic is bringing back some scarring memories of certain..."Fanfics" I've stumbled across. :x

Anyway, what Tyrannotaur said. Right from the Joker's mouth.

Yeah man, it kinda of explains it in the movie. So question answered if you ask me.
