@BullyMaguireEn @Sirt0991 @cIarkism That's where I'll start, Batman cares about the Joker, whether you like it or not. Compare his reaction to the death of other people/enemies, and to the death of the Joker. Quite a strong attachment.
30 years later Brother Eye force-feeds Joker. The clown counts the days, asks to kill him, thinks Batman is dead. So when he sees Bruce he is truly surprised and begins to laugh. The laugh isn`t like the others, it`s preceded by tears, bitterness from impotence and deep affection
all you have to do to please the joker is to laugh sincerely at his jokes
