The Batman-Joker Dichotomy

Two men who are polar opposites,

Same tragic past, they both thought of it.

One became his fear meanwhile one creates the fear.

The Villain laughs and smiles as The Hero toughens up and rubs dirt.

The media feeds off the burning chaos as the righteous knight lives in shadows. 

One lost his purpose so he causes pain,

The other lives his purpose so he chases pain

Either way you decide, you are either The Victim or The Hero of your story.
