After being captured and put into Arkham to determine his sanity, Joker decides he likes being in Arkham, but seems to realize under current management he's more likely to be sent to Blackgate with the large selection of criminals he tried to kill in the movie. So he starts sucking up to Dr. Harleen Quinzel and preparing a plan. For her part, Quinzel tries to get a handle on the Joker's psyche while he makes her, and everyone he meets, more and more unnerved, beginning with him mentioning how the session tapes will end up on [=YouTube=]. After murdering a guard and seemingly starting to "make progress" with Harleen, he learns that she is getting married and moving away to Metropolis, which will ruin his plan. This starts a chain of events that will engulf many lives, and perhaps all of Gotham, in a whirl of violence and mayhem.

"[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheJokerBlogs The Joker Blogs]]" is a Website/YouTube web series created by a user of the same name. The series is set between ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', depicting the time ComicBook/TheJoker spends in Arkham Asylum. The videos are framed as taped recording sessions between the Joker and his therapist, Dr. Harleen Quinzel and tapes shown as evidence after the Gotham police capture Joker. Throughout the series is a parade of fan service for Bat-fans everywhere while still connecting thematically and visually with Creator/ChristopherNolan's movie series and working incredibly well as a result. Although the earlier episodes still had the actor trying to find his definitive voice and makeup style, the atmosphere very quickly developed into something genuinely eerie. As a whole, the series is a very professional fan project with excellent writing and acting.

*** A case of FridgeBrilliance - [[spoiler: in ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', Joker says that "One Bad Day" is what they have in common, and he's usually insightful enough to guess that's what drives Batman. So perhaps, they are taking the route used by some writers, and brought up at the start of the series, that the Joker really is just an evil SOB with no FreudianExcuse. In other words, not "One Bad Day. We dealt with it differently," but "One Bad Day. You had one. I didn't." Could instead perhaps be an example of EvilCannotComprehendGood, and the Joker thinks Batman couldn't have had One Bad Day because he isn't an evil lunatic.]]

* OriginalFlavour: Barring the {{Mythology Gag}}s, everything is as Original Flavor to ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' as can be. This is multiplied to the nth degree considering the Joker's characterization, and his performance is so good that a lot of commenters jokingly(?) think that Creator/HeathLedger has come back from the dead.
