WMG for [[American Psycho]]. Here be spoilers.
 
== Patrick Bateman, for some reason, has a [[Doctor Who (TV)|perception filter]] on him. ==
Think about it. He's unnoticed, easily forgotten and even when it would be in one's best interest to pay attention, nobody ever does. This is the exact effect that a perception filter gives you. You might want to focus on what it is on, but you just can't. Your mind will ignore it against it's will. This has been proven with the TARDIS, Torchwood's elevator and with TARDIS Key necklaces. Due to some unnatural reason, Patrick Bateman was born with one that instinctively turns on when it's needed. This is what allows him to confess to crimes, make outrageous amounts of noise and not bother anyone and do things that would normally draw attention.
 
== Patrick Bateman is a [[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Widderslainte]]. ==
In [[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Mage]], a widderslainte is the reality-warping avatar of a dead [[Evil Sorcerer|Nephandus]], reincarnated into a human. Patrick is clearly a widderslainte on the cusp of awakening. He's not an unreliable narrator, instead his crimes are real, and literally defy reality (and law enforcement) because he's unconsciously using magic. The final speech is [[Fridge Horror|his epiphany as he awakens]]...
** Alternatively he could just be a [[Power Born From Madness|Marauder]]. Which is pretty equally terrifying.
 
== Patrick is [[Heroes (TV series)|Sylar]]. ==
Sylar was still stark raving mad when he worked for a big corporation, but he got better when he quit his job to fix watches. He still kills people, but he doesn't torture them as often, and doesn't eat the brains any more. <s> At least, not without mustard.</s>
 
== Patrick Bateman is [[Animaniacs (Animation)|Boo-Rishnikov]]! ==
He keeps telling people fantastic stories, but it's all to distract from him being a giant chicken!
 
Line 63:
[[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]] doesn't even cover it.
 
== Patrick Bateman is a relative of [[Psycho (Film)|Norman Bates.]] ==
Bates's relatives changed their name to Bateman to avoid association with the murders.
