Both are deranged psychotics but who's sicker the other?

Beta Ray Howard
From a psychological standpoint?

Carnage by far. The complexities of his nature are buried so deep that nobody was able to dig them out. He was literally deemed "impossible to analyze" and even killed the person attempting to do it in Mind Bomb.

Then again, they're both different types. Joker is cold and calculating, more of a Hannibal Lecter.

Cletus is more of your deep south serial killers who do it because "it's pretty."

Lord Urizen
There's no way to gauge who is more insane....

Carnage

Cletus is crazier.

Personally I don't think the Joker is crazy per-say but just sick! I think he's fully aware of how horrible and wrong what he's doing is.

Cletus is freakin nuts! He's just so far out there its beyond insane. Where as Joker is completely in control and aware of his actions and the morality of them he's just an evil sick **** that enjoys it.

Just because your incredibly evil and horrible doesn't mean your crazy and don't have control or understand what your doing. It just means your that disgusting morality wise and just a sick **** in general and not necessarily psychologically! IMO

I've always found the most disturbing thing about Joker to be that he's quite possibly not crazy at all but just a horrible individual.

Dark-Jaxx
Joker because Carnage is a shit character.

Joker isn't crazy. He's a vindictive mad genius. Who uses the crazy as a tool to evade prosecution.

Cletus is Stir crazy.

Cletus is Stir crazy. Exactly

batdude123
Right. Joker is so sane, that when telepaths enter his mind, they themselves go nuts.

That explains so much!!!

Dark-Jaxx
Or Joker is so sane, when Raven showed him his deepest fears, he just laughed!

Seriously, wtf? erm

Didn't Batman tell Spectre that it was wrong to condemn Joker because he was too crazy to grasp ethics and morals?

I remember something along those lines.

Dark-Jaxx
He is so sane he killed Alexander Luthor Jr. with acid, a handbuzzer with real electricity, and a big ass gun to the head, simply cuz he was not asked to "play."

joker's probably crazier *yawn* but that won't matter if these two ever met. joker's crazy organs would be all over the ground and carnage's talons.

Dark-Jaxx
Nah ah.

Ha Son
Joker.

Has joker ever shown fear?

DigiMark007
I don't know that Joker's insane. I think he just embraces his perceived pointlessness of life. A kind of nihilism that he's turned into a deliriously giddy, violent free-for-all. Like the Watchmen's Comedian, but to a much more profound extent.

But maybe I'm wrong.

But maybe I'm wrong. I've often mentioned The Comedian as the "good" Joker.

However good the Comedian may or may not have been.

well carnage is crazier in a literal sense

I'm glad I'm not the only one to see the connection. Because the Joker's madness isn't calculated, it's anarchic. But he also understands what he's doing, so there's got to be a semi-rational explanation for it. So it's not something we can empathize with, since we'd need to be the Joker for that, but we can understand it on a surface level. Extreme nihilism, mixed with a perverse love of suffering, with the nihilism as justification for anything he does, as well as justification for ever more bizarre and complex descents into cognitive madness.

Dr. Manhattan also realized what the Comedian did, of course, and didn't feel a moral imperative to do any particular thing. But his understanding of it was in a detached way because of his omniscience.

Purists might say we're trying to categorize the Joker's psyche, which shouldn't happen just in principle, but I think it really accounts for the range of emotions and actions he has displayed throughout the years.

Scythe
Carnage is imo. Joker's "craziness/anarchy" seems somewhat disfunctionally orchestrated, where Carnage is just criminally insane, murders people, tries to kill Spider-Man.

Neither are crazy, they are just misunderstood. smile

Joker is a hell of alot crazier. Was it Carnage that killed Robin just to have all of Batman's attention? no it was Joker. Was is Cletus Cassidy that killed Sara Gordon as a Christmas present. No it was Joker. Joker is complex. Not saying Cletus isnt but honestly a guy who kills people with complex plans such as Joker proves that he has nothing else to live for. Cassidy is just a murderer. No planes. He is not the smartest symbiote now is he???? Mr.J FTW

Actually he kill everyone he see, on killing spree..... stick out tongue

Anyways everyone opinion their own. Carnage FTC!

Joker.

Joker's so sane, when Martian Manhunter entered his mind, he said it was 'like a maze' and that he could only restore Joker's sanity temporarily.

In his sane state, Joker knew he was a psychopath killer, but he will never recover that sanity he had ever again.

Joker's so sane, he made The Spectre literally puke and Parallax insane.

Carnage = David Hasselhoff.

vansonbee
Nice scan BAD ASH231. Well David Hasselhoff is real killer in our world. I guess he exist in comics too big grin. That how famous David Hasselhoff is! lolz

Pyron_Knight
That whole crossover is bullshit.
Carnage views his murdering as art and does it because it's pretty. Joker makes it out like he just beats someone with a hammer and wanders off.

TheBadguy
At least Joker has methods, reasons and something of goals to his madness. Carnage just does, he's more of what Joker claimed to be in the movie.

their equally crazy, they just have different tastes for violence.

it's like saying "who's more heroic, superman or captain mar-vell?" both would and did die for their duties as champions of life, whats the difference?

Stangely I've heard that Jim Carrey would be playing Carnage in Spiderman 4 but anyways, Carnage is more crazy than Joker.
