I really don't get the joker thing. Is he supposed to be a transvestite?


I didn't get that either. I'm guessing the point they were trying to make was that Joker wears makeup, dresses flamboyantly, and he and Batman are obsessed with each other and Batman wears skin tight suits hiding his identity. Both are in the "closet" with the hiding of their identities, and instead of choosing to come out and reveal who they are they choose to hide and take out their inner frustrations on each other. That's the best guess I have.

I read it as Joker is "out" while Batman is still "in". And that is the source of their conflict. Batman is fighting to suppress his sexuality, while Joker is trying to out him.

I can see the argument, but feel that it's a big reach.
