Topic	which batman villains could actually get a insanity plea (Spoilers)
LightSnake 08/15/25 8:12:48 PM #13:	thekosmicfool posted... IANAL, why wouldn't the Joker be able to successfully plead insanity? The insanity plea is not actually as easy as "I'm a little crazy." Having a weird compulsion to leaving clues, dressing up as a clown, or having a shark theme isn't enough to claim it. The one claiming insanity must be actively unaware of their actions in some jurisdictions. Like the classic hypo is "thought they were squeezing a lemon when they were squeezing someone's head." Others, it's "must be actively unaware of the reality of their actions." The Joker is capable of planning, sadism, etc. No chance. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:986105086] in which batm...
