Line 268:

== The Joker drove Dr. Crane insane ==

It's practically guaranteed that the Joker was held in Arkham Asylum during the events of ''Batman Begins''. Perhaps some time before Bruce returned to Gotham, Dr. Crane (who might've been a regular psychiatrist at the time) was doing some counseling sessions with Mr. "Glasgow Smile" in an attempt to get inside his head. He would toy with Crane by pretending to play along. Each day Joker would tell his story in a way that completely contradicted what he told the previous day. When Crane finally calls him on it, Joker delivers a [[Hannibal Lecture]] about how he doesn't really care about making him "better," he just wants to find out what made him sick so Crane could write another book or something (Yeah, I know, [[Watchmen|you've heard this before]]), and how Joker knew that's what he wanted by dangling it in front of him like a cat toy. Hell, he might've even said something like, "once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Joker is the only thing that makes sense." This ultimately turns Dr. Crane into the [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] that he is at the beginning of the movie.
