Dark Knight + Gossip Girl

Just watched The Dark Knight the other night and fell in love with it all over again. In the speech between Batman and the Joker in the police precinct, I thought …. wow, this runs parellel with Gossip Girl. My other favorite thing in the whole wide world.
Imagine Serena as Batman and Georgina as the Joker. All S wants is to be good and Georgina is there to remind her that…no, you’re just as fucked up as I am. And we all know it no matter how in denial you’d like to be.
The Joker: Kill you? Why would I want to kill you? What would I do without you? You. Complete. Me.
Batman: You’re garbage who kills for money.
The Joker: Don’t talk like one of them - you’re not, even if you’d like to be. To them you’re a freak like me…. they just need you right now. But as soon as they don’t, they’ll cast you out like a leper.

It mirrors Serena and Georgina’s confrontation on the corner in Season 1 completely. See, once upon a time G was S and S was G. They completed each other. Until that night. Until that night when everything changed. S ran away and left G to burn alone. Now S wants to be reformed, wants to be good again. Dan made her good. She likes being good.
Then G decides to come back into town. And all she wanted was S to come burn with her. Like a fever. For old time’s sake.
She wanted her to see that nothing has to change. Can Serena believe that there are lines that she wouldn’t cross? That there are things that she holds sacred. That it was truly an accident. But its too late.
You want to play. We’ll play. YOU think you’re different S. But I know better. You’re lying to yourself. You’re not that that good. You never were. And to everyone else? Your mom, your friends, your boyfriend? The next little slip up and they’ll see that you’re just like me.
A monster. We’re not that different after all.
Yes. I’m delusional and suffering from lack of new GG till March. Forgive me for my essays
