first of all, this song is absolutely amazing. great lyricism and a fantastic track make this easily one of the best songs on the Arkham City soundtrack. if you know much about the back story, Batman came very close to actually killing Joker during the Hush story arc. what stopped him was Gordon reminding him that if he killed the Joker, he would be no better than those he fights against. Joker knows that Batman will never willingly kill him, so he pushes Batman as hard as he can to see if he'll eventually break and take a life. Joker doesn't care if he dies, he knows that Batman will never be able to live with himself after taking a life
