Why is this so far down . My favorite by far ! <| sep |> My S 7 begs to differ . <| sep |> quite the opposite , actually . I think personality and fit matter as much as passion for the field , if not more . Residency involves you spending nearly every waking hour with people of a particular personality type nearly every day for 37 years or more . If you dont get along with people in your field you will hate your job no matter how much the work itself interests you . <| sep |> I think that scene in the Dark Knight Returns really only works because it ' s the culmination of decades worth of a relationship in universe . It ' s a climax moment , one that HAS to end with Batman or the Joker dying and even if Batman doesn ' t kill the Joker , he ' s still far enough gone that he pushes Joker to a point where he can finish himself off easily . Setting up all of that in a film only to back out at the last moment for something hokey like you ' re going to jail , Joker ! or anything remotely similar wouldn ' t play nearly as well as taking the scene to its logical conclusion .
