 The joker's face reflects the joker's wish to be remembered by the people of Gotham despite being handled harshly. The batman card reflects Batman's ability to be recognized by criminals and the inhabitants of Gotham.  Although Batman tries to do good and assist in the liberation of the capital, his enemy, the Joker, is continuously creating mayhem, culminating in a war of good against bad. It's more like a never-ending war of good vs bad, analogous to the United States' new political structure. Batman is a solitary hero facing a slew of villains and enemies. Using the "joker" as an example, one might argue that the United States' modern government system is a farce in which many people who wish to do evil are elected to "run" the show in the same manner that the villains want to run Gotham City. It also motivates those who really wish to see a positive result to battle the scheme.

Do you agree with Zizek's view on viewing media text or Hall's view on interpreting media text
