Alternate fan theories are getting more popular these days. And this one here makes a lot of sense. It's for The Dark Knight. In it, it makes Batman the bad guy, and The Joker, the hero of the story. It's twisted, but it sure makes sense.

Reddit user GeneralZee explains.

Joker, although a lying psychopath, is actually the hero in The Dark Knight. Before the Joker, Gotham was a mess. Entire sections of the city were closed off due to madness, organized crime ran rampant, and the majority of important city officials were wildly corrupt. The city even tolerated a renegade vigilante who ran around wearing a rubber suit (Okay, special armor and carbon fiber, but they don’t know that).



Along comes the Joker and by the end of a very short time, almost all organized crime was eliminated, many corrupt officials were imprisoned or dead, and the city’s Vigilante even went into hiding for 8 years. This was all part of Joker’s masterfully executed plan.

Clever, actually.
