Yellow Is The Color, Of My True Love...

Perhaps nothing could be better for me then read some small discussions about Johns mental growth at the Saturdays evening👌🌚 Thank you so much fellows for sharing your thoughts!

I’ve been thinking about John Doe and how his characterization in season 1 differs so much from what we see in The Enemy Within. I mean, in season 1 he was genuinely creepy. He was antagonizing other inmates, and then there was the whole thing with Zsasz and the knife. (Plus there was that thing with the key that never really got explained, but that’s a conversation for another time.)

I was wondering if perhaps it was just a case of Telltale not quite knowing what they were going to do with him yet.

And then it hit me. Of course John was creepy and all messed up. Harley’s right about him still trying to find himself and work out who he really is, even in season 2. Now imagine him trying to do that in ARKHAM. Who the hell was he going to learn from and take cues from? Victor Zsasz? Arnold Wesker? Thinking about it like that it’s a wonder he wasn’t more unstable when he and Bruce first met.

And hell, no wonder he was so excited to meet Bruce and so eager to help him out. Even ignoring the fact that they actually do have a lot in common psyche-wise, Bruce is probably the first person that even approaches sane that John has ever really interacted with who isn’t a member of Arkham’s staff.

And no wonder he fell for Harley like he did. Probably all she needed to do was smile at him and call him her friend for John to get attached. It was probably super lonely in Arkham, especially for someone like John who didn’t even have memories of friends or family.

It’s all kind of sad really, and it makes me hope that Bruce and John can have something at least approaching a happy ending even more than I already did. 

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Bruce Wayne looks at John Doe.

John is always quoting Dr. Leland, and before Bruce and Harley, she basically taught him everything. So like pls, John and Bruce hanging out in Arkham, John brings up Bruce’s dead parents again, like he always does, and then John getting a little sad about “Well at least you had some, I don’t know anything about mine.” And Bruce has to explain to him, “They may have been my parents, but the person who truly made me who I am was Alfred. He’s the best father I’ve had. You have people like that, don’t you?” and like he talks about Dr. Leland and John has an EPIPHANY and then he starts treating Dr. Leland like his mom and suddenly he realizes “wait a minute… Bruce has a dad-like figure…. I have a mom-like figure……." 

And then he goes total Parent Trap trying to set Alfred and Doctor Leland up. There’s probably a lot of kidnapping. Bruce is screaming.
