00:00Why is every Batman villain crazy?
00:02Meow.
00:04Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, almost all of Batman's villains are insane
00:08criminals.
00:09And even those who are not usually portrayed that way, like Penguin or Catwoman, have already
00:13had their crazy versions.
00:15Why?
00:15There are two answers.
00:16The first has to do with the references used in the creation of Batman.
00:19One of them is Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective known for being an extremely rational
00:23man.
00:24Batman is also a detective.
00:25However, when criminals have irrational motivations, they become even greater threats precisely
00:29because they are unpredictable.
00:31The second explanation has to do with the character's universe.
00:34Before Batman appeared, Gotham was dominated by mobsters.
00:37However, with the actions of the Batman, organized crime gave way to chaotic crime.
00:41And this happened because of Batman himself.
00:43It is as if the appearance of a man dressed as a bat were an inspiration for frustrated
00:47and violent people.
00:48It is the logic of if he can do it, I can also fulfill my fantasies of power.
00:52Madness is contagious.
