Using his god - similar mightiness , Spectre forced Joker to have a conscience , andit immediately caused Joker to be overwhelmed with sorrow for his nefarious actions .
At different points in the character ’s history , DC has alluded to a side of Joker that recognise the horror of his natural process – with thisSpectrestory being one of the most over pieces of evidence .
Part of what made [ The Spectre#51 ] so consequential was that prior to granting the Joker moral clarity , the Spectre confirmed that the villain can not distinguish between right and wrong in his normal state .

InThe Spectre , after being force to realize the difference between salutary and evil , Joker wound up crying on the storey , so tear aside by the evil action he had been responsible for that he went catatonic . This reaction was important , because it proved that the Joker is n’t just inherently vicious , which make him all the more tragic . Part of what made the account so eventful was that prior to award the Joker moral clarity , the Spectre confirm that the villain can not key out between right and faulty in his normal state .
While dozens of psychiatrists have go to decent name Joker over the age , the Spectre ’s powers grant him metaphysical perceptivity into the Clown Prince of Crime ’s condition .

The Spectre#51 was n’t the first metre thatJoker had been rendered saneeither . InJLA#15 , Martian Manhunter used his office to rearrange Joker ’s mind , restoring his sanity . At this moment , Joker straightaway expressed monumental amounts of guilt for what he has done . As Spectre explained , Joker simply being evil is far too uncomplicated . He ’s not evil ; rather , he can not distinguish evil from good . His action are born from the fact he has no sensation of morality . Which is significantly more complex and tragic than Joker being a creature of pure evil .
It is easy to write Joker off as just an inordinate , helter-skelter monster , who does evil things for the saki of being malefic . However , the real reality is far more complicated . Instead of being a world who just want to be malevolent for the saki of it , he ’s a man who can not be evil , merely because he ca n’t read good . The tragical part of this is that if Joker was ever permanently cure , he ’d never commit another law-breaking . It is only the fact he ’s so harebrained that he ’s a monster , which is what makesJokera truly tragical eccentric .
