there is a common saying, whatever doesn’t kill you makes you STRONGER… he was making a play on words, saying that it made him stranger, as in more strange, because presumably somehting happened to him to make him as weird as he is in the film

Man that is the simplest quote you gave.
The philosopher Nietzsche said that whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, but he said that long before whatever didn’t kill him put him in a mental hospital for the last 10 years of his life.
The Joker (or more properly the writers at DC Comics) knew better that every catastrophic event warps us further away from our fellow humans, and so he rightly said, if we don’t die we change.
What’s complicated about that? CHANGE OR DIE.

The cool thing about the Joker is that not even he knows his past, or his “creation” story. Read The Killing Joke to see the best know story. Basically he survived something awful, something that changed him drastically. Probably the change was that he lost him mind. Another cool thing is that the line between insanity and genius is pretty thin, so that’s why he isn’t only clever but really intelligent.

He’s trying to be humorous. Stranger instead of Stronger, remember those nasty scars on his cheeks? they made him stranger.

Yes. I understand it. The Joker is much more honest than Nieche.
Have you met a really normal person who has been through a lot of pain? Normal people make up pain to pretend they are not boring.
On the other hand just because a person has been through a lot of pain, and has become very strange, that doesn’t make them stronger…it might make them not care about typical things-like the Joker….like all superheroes and villains…but it might just make them a bum that talks to themself by a burning oil drum.
So while The Jokers statement is usually, if not always, true, Nieches statement was merely a have baked philosophy.

That quote was his interpretation of Batman. What is more strange than a man who watches his family die then decides to become a bat. And the bat is what Bruce Wayne feared the most! He wasn’t being comical with this quote, he was comparing The Joker and Batman. Batman chose to be strange in a way that he felt helped society. The Joker chose to be strange in a way that he felt helped society. Without evil there can be no good. That was kinda the reason for the boat bomb scene. People chose not to become monsters by killing the convicts, and the convicts chose to become more human again by not killing the people. Everyone changes from life altering events that take place every single day. We become stranger by being more paranoid or basically more aware of our surroundings and how strange they can be.

He’s much smarter in the comics. Hell, he’s known Batman’s secret identity since the 80s & kept it to himself until he made a deal with the Black Glove Organization after making a deal with Batman & stabbed both parties in the back.
