It do indeed.

So yes, that sure as hell looks like my Joker up there on the screen (and Heath Ledger and the screenwriters did a hell of a job with him), but judge for yourself. Check out the story here: http://www.repairmanjack.com/support files/JOKER-set.rtf
Then check out the film.
Just remember: I have not been wronged, so you need not email me. Everything's cool.

It is definitely cool. And I definitely saw "your" Joker when I watched The Dark Knight just recently on DVD. No question about it. I was almost expecting to see specific events from 'Definitive Therapy' play out on screen. Actually, in a strange way, I think maybe they did.

Now it makes sense as to the 11 pages of guests looking at this thread.

Maybe I'll sue DC Comics - for codependent emotional trauma! 
PS: On a side note, I was disappointed with the movie. I thought the characters were interesting to watch, but the action sequences (like those in the Bourne series) seemed too frenetic. I hear it is the same with the latest Bond movie so I'll wait until it comes out on DVD.

I read Definitive Therapy the other night, and thank you sir for posting it here.
Yes, I can see your Joker now in Ledger's performance. Spooky indeed.

Just discovering your work
Hello, Mr. Wilson
I will admit that I have just become familiar with your name and do not know your work. I'm sure you can guess how I heard of you. I read the article posted at the io9 website describing the similarities between Ledger's Joker and the way you used the character. I thought your response was quite tasteful as well as your website's comment (about removing the story) to which I am replying. Anyway, I am interested in reading your story and was wondering how I can get a copy. I have not yet taken the time to peruse your site so the answer to my question may be self-evident, but I wanted to write regardless.
Ciao, A

I'll leave the story up: http://www.repairmanjack.com/support files/JOKER-set.rtf.
It's also available in the collection The Barrens & Others as well as the long-oop The Further Adventures of the Joker.
