I have gone around observing your activities from the outside. Because of this I have also been able to see things to which you have been blind...

Of course, you have seen the sun and the moon, the stars in the sky, and everything that moves, but you haven't really seen it at all. It is different for the Joker, because he was put into this world with a flaw: He sees too clearly and too much.
