I find the core dichotamy of the Batman story very interesting and would like to hear some other opinions on it.

The Joker is definitely more screwed up. Batman is, but he has a vehicle to control his insanity that helps people instead of hurting them - and he does it consciously, once in a while thinking he should just give up. That means he has a control over it, whereas Joker is just a flat out nutcase.
Gender: Male Location: somewhere looking for trouble
Batman gots that "I lost my folk they got capped I gotta training and be mo than just'sta man but a legend..get my some sidekicks..that wear bright color sh*t thang going on."
"The fall to the ground takes over a minute, and despite what you've heard you're likely to stay conscious the whole way down. Thoughts like that keep me warm at night."
"I'm a rich kid with issues--lots of issues."
*Batman and Joker on a one-man jetpack*
Joker: You're crazy! Let me go or we'll both die!
Batman: Whatever it takes.

What Batman does is at best questionable but he has a reason behind his motive even if others dont agree with Bats he is understandable. The Joker is just random and does things without rhyme or reason. They are polar ooposites.............
Joker is destructive whereas Batman (Bruce Wayne) is more constructive. Total opposites and Batman's tragedy didn't drove him to the point of insanity. Whereas Joker's tragedy was a total disaster and led to countless deaths.

It's something like that...crazy funny....especially the Pictures drawn on it....
The question is, is Joker more of a nut for killing people for the sheer hell of it? Or is Batman because he lets him continue to live just to repeat and kill some more. I know Joker's made this point in some way at some point too. Just some food for thought.
