Confused critics = good sign

Tragedy either brakes a man or makes a man. But the Joker's Breakdown is more than mere tragedy. At a specific point in the story, it's a conscience choice. It's when he makes that free choice that the viewer no longer feels bad for him. When you change your philosophy to match how you feel (in the case of the Joker, to make morality subjective) you attack what makes human dignity objectively good. An opponent to human dignity is not subject to sympathy. The Joker is evil.
This is a commentary on the "victim mindset" that we see in today's political-correctness. Batman is the contrast. His hardships make him want to spread justice. The joker's hardships make him want to spread more hardships.
