I believe zsaz has ocd in most iterations he does his tally’s in sets of five and requires his scars to be in sets of five as seen in the telltale Batman game he gets mad and screams about being “uneven” when john(joker) cut him

Actually freeze doesn't want to take over the world except for the more evil versions like how he was before bats the batman freeze brave and bold freeze new 52 freeze enemy within freeze batman and robin freeze and young justice freeze in most versions he just wants to save his wife and doesn't care about the ethical stuff outside of his wife

Can we talk about the fact how Maxie called batman Hades it's actually way more accurate depiction of batman then on the surface considering both have dogs both are scary to others but are very gentle both are trying to be as fair as possible in their jobs both are rich both have a relationship with a woman that changes sides (tho different in the sides changing) and both are depicted a lot of times as evil by people who don't understand them

Hey mr pretentious Psychiatrist…. Reality check. These are fictional characters….
@theboyj26

he looks like a batman villain before the series if events that makes him a villain

This Dr looks like the Riddler
@blakeellis9171

I think a lot of Batman adaptations forget that some criminals don't belong in Arkham, like Catwoman, Penguin, and Mr Freeze aren't inmates at Arkham, they're at stonegate or blackgate prisons
@BennyBigIron

Great video! The problem with Arkham though, at least for the most part, is not the psychiatric staff, it’s the corrupt politicians who are leveraged into making Arkham a revolving door for the kind of criminals who perpetuate the cycle of violence in Gotham that keeps the organized crime families in power.

7:50 why did you say that name?!?
@israeldelarosa5461

I’m amazed at how you were able to secure a visit with the esteemed Dr. Crane for this interview.
@Sethoroni
October 29, 2025 at 12:23 am
Dr.Crane, is that you?

Check out Imaginary Axis, he goes into how the Joker isn't necessarily crazy, and if Batman is truly crazy.
@Blorfonyoutube

Bro really thinks he knows more then Batman
@Hardgor3Alic3
October 29, 2025 at 12:23 am
Remember, most people who go into these kind of fields are trying to diagnose themselves. Dude would probably be a Batman villain, himself!

Dr: “joker doesn’t need to go to Arkham…cause that mf’er is nuts.”

Great breakdown, Dr. Crane

So um we can't glaze over the fact that Two-Face coin is a doubled headed coin…so..um
@OceanThalasso

I think for Joker it depends on the interpretation of the character. And, for Two-Face I’d say he also has bipolar disorder.

How do you not see serious mental illness in the joker? Wow, was to discredit yourself.
@EC_Barlow
October 29, 2025 at 12:23 am
Isn't the reason joker is sent to Arkham because of the higher security? Also in several versions of the comics, the joker has DID so the Joker is only part of it. His actual name is Jack Oswald White😊

Is it just me…..or does he look Dr Crane?

So joker does not have illness I wonder joker keeps laughing but batman grab Jack's hand and he let him go Jack was falling down in the toxic chemicals

"If I were to see the joker" You would be dead in a instant
@ssjhilfling
October 29, 2025 at 12:23 am
In denmark, i think the joker would get what is known as “treatment judgment” which i think all of Batmans rogues at arkham is getting, except for bane, who is normaly send to Blackgate
@Ronnocsnave42
October 29, 2025 at 12:23 am
Joker deserving to be in black gate and not arkham is such a gem of knowledge
@MaximMelamed

In the Arkham asylum, serious earth comic, jokers psychiatrist says joker is not insane, but hyper sane.
